THE BATTLE CRY OF PEACE.

(From Chicago Evening Post.)
"The intention Of this picture was
to portray the great need OF the pre-

Err" With that statement j. Stuart
Blackton, author OF the scenario, "The
Battle Cry OF Peace" which opened
at the Olympic last evening, struck
the keynote OF the whole situation.
The Battle Cry OF Peace" surely
fulfills the every intention OF the au-
thor, for 1t portrays poignant truth
in a characteristic way that can not
fail OF appreciation. 1t is not exactly

Blackton, somehow. has struck time

home almost too vividly the total In
adequacy OF our preparedness. with

OF peace and plenty and peace with

OKUMA, FRIEND
OF U. S., RESIGNS
Premier in Japanese Dis
favor Because of His
National Policy.

Toxic. Oct. 3.-The resignation OF
the Cabinet Of Premier Count Okuma,
forecast early last spring by the Pre-
mier himself, has been presented TO
the Emperor. The Premier has recon-
mended that Viscount Takaaki Kato
be appointed as his successor. An
of this was made to-day
in an extra edition Of the Mich
Nichi Shimbun.'
Premier Okuma's indecisive national
policy-particulsrly his tolerant atti-
tude toward China-has brought him
into disfavor with many of Japan's
leading statesmen and with part Of the
people. The insistent demand Of the
Opposition that he withdraw in favor
of a man Of holder ideas probably led
him to make his decision. though his
advanced age has been given as the
real reason.
Throughout his public life Premier
Okums has been a stanch supporter OF
friendly relations with the United
States. and in an interview several
months ago said war between japan
and the United States was impossible.
Yiscount Kato has served as Foreign
Minister and Ambassador to Great
Britain. He took a prominent part in
tho neoo+iations which followed the
of the twenty-one Japan
csc demands OF China and also in the
discussion with Washington of the CAL
ifornia anti-alien land law.

U. S. JURY HEARS
BLACKMAIL VICTIM
E. B. West Tells Here How
Mann Act Cost
Him $4,000.

The Federal grand jury empanelled
70 investigate the blackmailing opera
tons Of the gang that has victimized
rich men and women out Of millions OF
dollars by means Of the Mann white
slave" act heard the story Of one VIC
tim, Edward R. West, a Chicago mer-
chant, yesterday.
Before the grand jury took up its
work Judge Sheppard, in the United
States District Court, outlined its
duties and read the Mann white slave"
act. which he called salutary law.
and yet" continued Judge Shep-
pard, 'in this very law evil persons
have perceived an opportunity for ex-
tortion, and have built up a gigantic
conspiracy, with ramifications all over
the country, and have made millions
by tracking down indiscreet persons"
Mr.. West, who arrived here yester-
day morning with his counsel, R. Rob-
ertson, also Of Chicago, went over the
details Of his story with John c. Knox,
Assistant United States District Attor-
ney, before going before the grand
jury.
The witness told OF meeting Buda
Goodman, now under arrest in Chicago,
in his home city, and OF being induced
By her 20 come 20 this city and register
with her at the Hotel Ansonla. he
then told how early in the morning
three men knocked on the door Of their
room in the Ansonia, announced they
were government officers and arrested
them for violating the Mann white
slave" act
Mr.. West told how all Ave went 70
Chicago, and how on the train his
pretty companion constantly and tear
fully pleaded that he save her from
disgrace and purchase their freedom.
Mr.. West told how az first he refused,
but was finally won by the entreaties
OF Buda. He parted first with S12,50O
and later $500.
Mr.. West never doubted that the men
we're government officers, and when
George Irwin, one of the Matchmaking
gang. was introduced as United states
Commissioner Foote and Mr.. West ar
raigned before him as a prisoner he
never questioned the genuineness Of
the proceedings.
After Mr.. West was excused By the
grand jury Superintendent Ofiey, OF
the Department of Justice, went before
the grand jurors and produced books
from the Ansonia Hotel 20 prove that
on MAY Is last Mr.. West registered
there with a woman represented Is MS

called later 10 describe the woman,
description that will tally with the dark
hair and eyes and rudy cheeks and
well-chiselled features OF Buda Good
