Mae Marsh in 1.-THE
Birth Of a Nation. u

It Is a well-known fact that lovers of
photo plays have their favorites' anon g
the actors In the cast, and rave over
their cleverness and personal charm as
if they were before them on the legiti-
mate stage in actual flesh and blood.
Mae Marsh, who plays Flora Cam
eron, the younger daughter in the
Southern household in THE Birth OF g
Nation" by her successful appearance
in many photo plays during her three
years career, has attracted by her elf
like charm and naive personality, many
admirers who greet with pleasure her
appearance on the screen.
Miss Marsh has many bits of fine act
ing in the picture. Among the most
delightful are the welcoming of the
brother back from the Civil War; the
making of Southern ermine" with
raw cotton and chimney black; the
scene in the cellar with Miriam Cooper;
the garden making that follows the re-
turn from the war; the Southern ban
ouet: and the pretty scene where she
rains kisses on her brother Ben's mouth
to console him for temporary loss of
his sweetheart Elsie. There is always
a touch of comedy or of pathos where
Miss Marsh appears. Her personality
lends itself to fine temperamental treat
ment of any part she plays. Her ex-
pressive, ever changing, mood-adapting
face. is one If the most valuable in all
the list of film favorites.
She was discovered by David w.
Griffith, the producer of mary film sue
cesses, long before he made 'The Birth
of Nation.

Strange Phenomenon

MIR. J. F. Hathorn, planter, who
resides on Red River, three miles be-
low Alexan1 RIA, was in that city Satur-
day afternoon and reports an occur
renee at his place which is somewhat
in the nature of phenomenon. he
states that he and his young son We're
sitting on the front gallery when they
heard loud report in the air, probably
one hundred feet away, and immedl-
ately thereafter they observed guam
tity of substance, resembling melted
glass of a grayish color, descend to
the ground, from which dense smoke
Immediately arose. According to Mr..
Hathorn, the substance made a hole IN
the ground where it struck. He picked
up particles of the substance, which
indicated that it had been contained IN
a shell which had exploded. He brought
portions of the substance to the city
Mr.. Hathorn, as well as others who
were informed of the occurrence, are
at a loss to account for the strange
phenomenon.

Embarrassing The President

Peace is always desirable; war is al
WAYS horrible. The very thought OF
war is shuddering when war is
inevitable it must be met with the
fullest determination, responding to
the most heroic dictates of patriotism.
The citizens of the United States
are disinclined to war. Their pursuit
is peace. their inclination is pacific. 1t
is to their interest to avoid CONNECTS.
Their welfare encourages the amlty
which should prevail among men, but
when war is forced upon them there is
no responsibility thhey will not assume
no sacrifice they will not make.
AS the embodiment of these declara-
ton stands President Wilson, upon
whom shall the responsibility for peace
or war rest. Who, in the United States,
as the head of this nation, can have
a greater realization of the consequent
ces resulting from war. :,
It is indeed fortunate that the United
States has for it's President man who
is peacefully inclined, and yet who is
no pacifist, no compromiser OF the dig
nifty of his county, no cringer OF the
knee to a foreign despot who would
dictate the policy of the American Re-
public in the horrifying German sub
marine propaganda.
AS is we'll known, the United States
has been compelled to sever diplomatic
relations with Germany. There was q
reason. Germany had exceeded all
limitations. Indeed, if President Will
son was belligefently inclined, decla-
ration of war against Germany would
long since have been justified.
The position of the United States IN
this crisis is strictly within the law.
The circumstances of this government
over the barbarous sea warfare by Ger
manv has been of no avail. The very
integrity Of the United States has been
involved, and yet there is a class OF
the people who are perslstng IN the
proclamation of peace with Germany
regardless of principles OF right and OF
humanity which are involved in the Is
sue which concerns vitality the United
States as nation and, its citizens as
American freeman.
In this present crisis President Will
son stands in need of the fullest en-
dorsements by all the people. In this
crisis which is threatening war, to
withhold the fullest support to Presi-
dent Wilson is equivalent to the indI-
rect aiding Of and giving comfort to
the enemy. This fact the peace-at-
nay-price advocates should consider
seriously. The United States as ma
ton can maintain its honor only by
facing dterminedly the issue from
which there can be no receding nor es-
cape. There is no sentiment in this is.
sue. and therefore it would be criminal
to withhold from the President the
support and the encouragement ne
needs and will require in order to deal
effectively, if necessary, with condl-
ton that should be avoided honorably
if possible. Caucasian.

History Indicates That
Prosp Gritty and Not Panic
Will Come at End of War

In every case the post-bellum history
of former great wars records a con-
tinuance of the business activity which
the wars themselves had stimulated.
After Waterloo, England entered upon
the greatest era of industrial and COM
mercial expansion she had ever known.
The British empire of commerce was,
in fact, made possible by the Napo-
leonic wars. After our Civil war the
United States and the entire American
continent, north and south, had boom
which lasted until 1873. After the
Franco-Prussian war, France. despite
her defeat and indemnity of five billion
francs she paid Germany, became more
prosperous than ever in her history.
The reason for this seeming paradox
is that the activities of reconstruction
are more stimulating than those OF de-
struction, because they are inspired by
hope rather than by vindictlveness or
revenge People work more eagerly TO
live than to die.
In so far as America is concerned, l
cannot see that we have anything to re-
gret or fear if peace should come to-
morrow on terms that would guarantee
the future integrity of international
law.
A few mushroom munition plants
would be dismantled and there would
be some relocation of labor, but the
most important and permanent business
of the country would probably boom.
The money which the war has pro-
yided US will permit of the re-financing
of our railways and other industrial
and distributive enterprises upon a
scale that will be adequate to our pres.
emit development, and the amount OF
money thus put in circulation will far
exceed any profit that we may reap
from a continuance of the war. -Theo-
dore H. Price, editor of Commerce and
Finance.

In asking Congress to be sm-
powered to take whatever steps
are necessary which includes the
arming of ships. conveying of
merchantmen by war vessels or
control Whatever other steps may
arise, President wilson made it
plain again that he wanted peace
but not at the price of American
lives and rights or by driving the
American flag from the seas.
Whether another armed neutrality
will mean war, depends on wheth-
er Germany realizes that the U.
s. is ready to protect its neutral
rights by whatever means are
necessary.
