@THE BIRTH OF A NATION
COMING TO TWIN FALLS

Arrangements have been concluded
by the Lavering theatre for the pre-
sentation of what has been called the
worlds film masterpiece" The Birth
of Nation. which is now at the Salt
Lake theatre in Salt Lake City.
The production carries q company
of thirty people, twenty of whom COM
prise a special orchestra, the remain
ing ten assisting in the production of
the film, handling the special lighting
effects and other paraphenalia used in
a careful and expensive undertaking
by the well known producer, Griffith;
there are twelve reels in all; the per-
Torrance lasting three hours. The
pictures are shown in three sections,
the intermissions being filled by spe-
cial selections by the orchestra, giving
the audience an opportunity to rest
their eyes and to hear the splendid
orchestra. These films have a national
reputation and their coming to Twin
Falls is an event of no little import
ance. as they are being shown at only
the larger cities. The expense of the
production and the company carried
with the pictures prevents their being
shown in most cities the size of Twin
Falls.
The birth of a Nation will be
shown in Twin Falls three evenings,
April Bird, 4th and 5th. Prices and
seat sale will be announced later
Speaking of the performances In
Salt Lake City, the Tribune says:
1T is what they said is was-'The
Birth of a Nation is certainly the
worlds film masterpiece. The south
at peace before the war; the assassin
alton of Lincoln; the war with realism
that makes one constantly think of
what is happening today at Verdun;
the horrible days of reconstruction in
the south. when dishonest white trash
from the north played politics with the
negroes for selfish purposes; the Ku
Klux Khan, which solved the problem
for the south; all these are wonder
fully pictured. An orchestra of thirty
three, with the general director, Mr.
Koehler, himself, here from New York
for this engagement, accompanies with
musical program that is nothing less
than a symphony concert itself The
attraction starts promptly at S:15 and
at 2:15. One is cheating himself by
arriving late. Certainly nothing shown
locally on the screen has ever APP
preached The Birth of a Nation"

Reverend Cyrus Townsend Brady

than his Island of Regeneration" And
there was never a story written by
anyone that offered greater possibili-
ties to film-drama.
A beautiful girl-running away
from the unwelcome attentions of the
owner of the yacht on which she was
a guest-cast upon a tropical island
in the Southern Pacific: the sole in
habitant, man who had lived alone
there since early childhood; his only
remembrance of language the Now

this. And by such a master-hand as
Cyrus Townsend Brady.
And think of this story autographed!

Concerning ..Preparedness.r

II did me good to read the recent
article in THE TIMES on the building
outlook for 1916. The CHEEKY way the
Old Times looks at Preparedness" is
certainly refreshing. Perhaps some Of
us are taking this question of pre-
paredness" too seriously l only wish
our government could see further than
armor plate and war munitions, and
see the need of building up homes in
stead of robbing them to satisfy the
war lords. President Wilson has been
touring the east singing his militant
song-"We must be prepared" Mil
lions of dollars will be spent for arma-
ment. People have become panic
stricken over the European war and
insist on all kinds of preparedness.
We need not fear an invasion as
much as we need fear the war trusts
and Navy League. The foe Is within
our own border, and If we let our mill
tant brothers have their way In this
business of preparedness. they will

think of war. Let them give our brave
90 brothers some good reasons why
we should have "Peace-at-any-price. "
1t is the women and children that SUI
fer most from militarism Some of US
would rather be at the front and the
first to fall In battle, than be Left to
protect our young from the ravage of
war and from the beast of prey. 1t is
not always a sign of bravery to go to
the front Patriotism does not merely
consist in dying for ones country, but
rather in living and let live. Pray tell
me where we find In the sacred say
ings Of Him who died that we might
live, for preparedness in a military
way? We do find however, TO "Pre-

the right weight stuff for the buyers

at $3.50. This is the highest pulp

DETERMINATIONS or SPAIN.

It was now just stated in our hear
ing that the Spanish Minister, Onis,
has been renewing his former mem
kces against the United States, under
the form of what he calls Reclama-
lions. among which the principal are:
1. That the United States cause to
be restored to the authority of Spain
that part of the territory of Louisiana,
which the English, while in possession,
called West Florida
2 That the government of the
United States do cause to be seized and
delivered up to the Spanish authori-
ties. all persons who enter, or who
are now in, the United States, connect
ed with the rebels in South America.
r Of this mans conduct, there can, I
believe, be but one opinion. The in
fiuence which brought him hither. or
IginaIIy, has never ceased to operate
upon him; and the present circum-
Stances of Spain are of such q. nature,
as to forbid every idea. of that gov
eminent being solicitous to quarrel
with the United States. There being
Rlready injuries unredressed on the
part of Spain, to a very enormous ex-
tent, both in a political and. pecun-
fary view. However, we shall see

Clergy's Desire
For Service To
Be Recognized

London, Feb. Although the
Bishop of London has not seen his
way clear to set aside the rule of his
church against combatant service for
the younger clergy. he has told
delegation of militant curates who
called on him that he would do all he
could toward enabling them to become
chaplains and stretcher bearers.
over a thousand curates, who in
lay life would be eligible for military
service, signed a petition 10 the bish-
op, asking that they be allowed to
put on khaki and fight. They claim
ed that the defense or a cause that
they devoutely believed to be right
eous against one they thought evil
was in accord with the teachings of
Christianity and the Anglican church.
AN of the Anglican bishops, fnclud-
ing the Archbishop of Canterbury
have been opposed from the start to the
enlistment of the clergy In the fight
ing ranks. But the feeling of the
mass of the young clergymen is
strongly inclined toward military SER
vice. Many clergymen of the nom
conformist sects; such as Presbyter-
ians, Congregationalists and Method
lists, have gone into the ranks and
accepted commissions.

APPEARANCE OF
QUAIL DISEASE

Washington, Feb. lowing to the
prevalence of quail disease among the
quail imported from Mexico at the
ports of New York, N. Y, and Eagle
Pass, Texas, during the past month,
the Department of Agriculture has
suspended issue of further permits for
entry of these birds this season. Quail
in shipments actually. en- route to the
United States on January 20 will be
admitted to quarantine, but no fur
ther entries will be authorized. Most
of the States now have such stringent
game laws that it is practically impos-
sible to purchase quail even for pro-
pagating purposes in the United States
and dealers have sought quail else
where, especially in northwestern
Mexico where quail occur in album
dance, but Mexican quail on arrival
at destination are frequently found in
fected with quail disease. So fatal
is this disease that when it once ap-
pears most of the birds which are ex-
posed to it die within a few days. In
one shipment of 1916 quail which re-
Gently reached New York only three
birds survived the voyage, and in an
other of about 160 birds. more than
two-thirds of the number died short
ly after arrival. More than one-third
of all the Mexican quail imported last
year died within a few months. To
guard against spread of quail disease
live, quail purchased for propagation
should be kept under observation for
two or three weeks and should not be
liberated if infected with disease. The
Department desires to ascertain the
result of experiments which have been
made in importing quail this year and
will be glad to receive information as
to the condition of the birds and as to
how many have died in any locality
where the quail have been introduced.
Before next season the Department
will, hold public hearing. in Wash
ington, D. c.. for the purpose of deter
mining whether or not further permits
for importation. of quail from Mexico
will be issued, at which various ques-
tons connected with the imprtation Of
quail will be carefully considered. Am
pie notice of this hearing will be Civ

HoNoRs RICHLY DESERVED.

was to sever his connection with the
company, it was decided not to let
him go without an expression of es-
tenn Thomas Hands was appointed
to receive subscriptions. The amount
contributed was large and a diamond
ring was purchased. About 8 O'Clock
last night a messenger called at the
Lashar home in Stratford avenue and
informed him that his presence was
desired at the factory. Ppon his ar
rival at the office he was sent to the
Sear1stress Fire Engine House. The
Wheeler & Wilson orchestra was there

After light refreshments had been
partaken of Postmaster Steward, who
had been selected as master of cere-

then presented Mr.. Lashar with the

brief remarks by Superintendent
Games, Peter Gabriel, Marcus L. Rey-

were sung by James N. Gregory and

DRIVE AGENTS OF
CENTRAL POWERS
FROM SALONIKI
Allies Take Rigorous Steps
To Prevent Shying on
Their Activities.

Salonil1i, Feb. 1.-The arrest of the
members of the consuIates and the
agents of the Central Powers, what
ever the point of view of international
ethics, has put an end to an absurd
state of affairs here. Before the agents
of the hostile powers were driven out,
the Allies were in much the same posi-
ton as if their enemies had free access
to such bases as Calais, Boulogne or
Havre.
Saloniki now occupies the same po-
sition in reference to the Anglo-F'rench
troops as Lisbon did to Wellington
over a century ago in the Peninsula
campaign. Yet before the recent or
ders were carried out enemy agents
did not even take the pains to conceal
their activities. Germans, Austrians,
Turks and Bulgars had as much right
to the streets as the British or French
soldiers. They watched and made
note of the landing of troops, guns and
supplies, sat in cafes and lived in no.
tells frequented by British and French
army men. They freely wrote, te1e-
graphed or took the train. into Turkey
or Bulgaria. where their information
could be safely and promptly sent on
to Vienna, and Berlin. They used to
stand along the ancient quays and
openly comment on the peculiarities
of the British and French warships,
the equipment of the men, the quail
ity of the supplies.
Now, transports can land their men
and goods with some pretense of Sc
crecy. At least, spies will no longer
feel the same protection in being in a.
neutral port as before this neutrality
was qualified by the recent arrests.
