ARCADE TONIGHT

motherhood" second of Marjorie
Rambeau's screen successes, is the
first great Chassis to be born of war
literature.
This big feature picture is built
on . powerful story written by
Frederick Arnold Krummer, an au-
thor Of many spectacularly success
full short stories. It was directed by
Frank Powell at the new Powell
Mutual Studio on Long Island, with
most elaborate array of sets and
big specially constructed exterior
scene-field Of battle and war
swept villages.
The story Of Motherhood" deals
with the war and the horrors of war,
but it is . picture Of battlefields,
bloody encounters and Wholesale
slaughter. It rather touches on the
thoroughly personal and human side
Of the war and what it means to the
homes and families. With war hang
ing over Us no American, no matter
how thoughtless he may be, can sit
and see the happy families invaded
by the summons Of the father to war
without clutch at his own heart
and a catch in his breath.
Motherhood" does not show
what the soldiers have to suffer in
war, it does not try to stir up en-
thusiasms and patriotism through
the glory Of fighting for ones coun-
try and colors, but rather shows the
part of women in the war, it illus
trates how the children share their
burden Of warfare. It brings out
forceably what those at home suffer
and endure while their natural pro-
tectors are at the front.
Motherhood" is not preach
ment for peace; it only throws a
searching light on what war really
means. It shows actual conditions
with the glamour removed.

ternational relationship within re-
cent weeks or months, but because
the danger comes with every turn
of events"
The break would have come soon
er if our Government had not been
restrained by the hope that saner
counsels might still prevail in Ger
many. For is was well known to us
that the German people had to a
very large extent been kept in ignor-
ance OF many of the secret crimes of
their Government against US. And
the pressure of a faction Of German
public opinion less hostile to this
country was shown when their Gov
eminent acquiesced to some degree
in our demands, at the time of the
Sussex outrage, and for nearly a
year maintained at least a pretense
of observing the pledge they had
made to us.The tension was abated.
While the war spirit was growing
in some sections of our Nation,
there was still no widespread desire
to take part in the conflict abroad;
for the tradition Of noninterference
IN Europe's political affairs was too
deeply rooted our national life to be
easily overthrown. Moreover, two
other considerations strengthened
our Government in its efforts to re-
main neutral in this war. The first
was our traditional sense Of respon-
sibility toward all the republics of
the New World. Throughout the
crisis our Government was in con-
slant communication with the coun-
tries of Central and South America.
They, too, preferred the ways of
peace. And there was very obvious
obligation upon Us to safeguard
their interest with our own. The
second consideration, which had
been so often developed in the Presi-
dents speeches, was the hope that
by keeping aloof from the bitter
passions abroad, by preserving IN
troubled here the holy ideals of civil
lied intercourse between nations,
we might be free at the end of this
war to bind up the wounds of the
conflict, to be the restorers and re-
builders Of the wrecked structure Of
the world.
All these motives held US back,
but it was not long until we were
beset by further complications. We
soon had reason to believe that the
recent compliance Of the, German
Government had not been made to
us in good faith, and was only tenn
porary; and by the end of 1916 it
was plain that our neutral status had
again been made unsafe through the
ever-increasing aggressiveness of
the German autocracy. There was
general agreement here with the
statement of our President, on Octo-
Der 26, 1916, that this conflict was
the last great war involving the
world in which we could remain neu-
trail.
