CIVILIZATION !.
PROTEST AGAINST
HORRORSOF WAR
Huge Moving-PiCture Produc-
ton May Be Shown Here;
No Race Prejudice

While a special run was being made
of the great mnring-piCture -Civiliza
tiCn'' at the Hawaii theater this
morning, Sheriff Rose was considering
protests by cOlored soldiers of Soho
field Barracks that the picture should
not be shown here on account of a
tendency 10 arouse race-prejudice
1t appears that rumors had gone cut
that Civilization" dealt with Ameri
can racial conditions and showed the
negro in an unfayorable light, some.
thing as in The Birth of a Nation. .
AS a matter of fact, the film has moth
ing to do with the negro or race con.
ditions in any way. Ii is a huge pro-
duction of an allegorical nature, show.
ing war between nations and portray
ing the ruthlessness and horrors of
international combat.
J. c. Cohen of the Consolidated
Amusement Company invited news
Tapermen to see the picture this morn
ing. 1t is in II reels and is a stu
pendous masterpiece of the moving
picture art. The battlefield scenes are
remarkable. The story deals with a
nation overwhelmed in war, after be-
ginning with a flourish of patriotism,
and the formation of a league of
women, Mothers of Men" to demand
that human lives should not be sac
rificcd.
One scene showed a submarine in
action and the supposed sinking OF a
great liner. =.
The producer, Thomas H. Ince, spe-
officially disclalms. referring to any
race or to any combatant in the Euro
rean war. Uniforms, costumes, etc,
are a composite of various countries.
German helmets and British blouses,
the German black eagle and the Brit.
ish lion, French peasant costumes and
other accouterments and symbols are
used ..- J..
The production constitutes a graph

appeal to pacifism. During the run

disappear, the corn will begin to
shrivel from that instant-then it
loosens and falls right Off
There's no other corn-remover in
the world that acts like "Gets-It." No
new discovery has been made in corn
removers since ''Gets-It" was born.
Don't forget that fact. "Gets-It'' does
away forever with the use of salves
that irritate, bandages that make a
bundle of your toe, piasters that half
do the work, knives and scissors that
draw blood. Use "Gets-It"-no more
digging or cutting.
"Gets-Tt" is sold everywhere, Csc a

Sold in Honolulu and recommended
as the worlds best corn remedy by

RUMOR ABOLISH

been instructed by the department of
justice to take charge of all govern

Judge Stuart. and hold them until fur
Their orders, someone exploded a ru-

partment is the initial step toward
abolishing one of the three divisions
CT local circuit court. 49,. :.
i. The local L.. S. attorneys office,
however, is not inclined to take much
stock in the story, saying that the
marshal is the recognized custodian
of all government property It has
been pointed out, however. that never
before has the marshal been called
upon to remove books and other eff
fects from division of the circuit
court during the vacancy of the
bench. This was not done when the
bench was vacant pending the APP
pointment of a successor to Judge
Stuart. .. .:...... T..
1t is specified in the revised laws
that there shall be not more than
three judges in the first circuit court.
The organic act provides that the
first circuit judges shall be appointed
by the president. The revised laws
do not specify that there shall lie
exactly three judges nor does The or
ganic act provide that three judges
shall be appointed by the president.
Some persons who heard the Iunor
today expressed the opinion that Con-
gress might amend the organic act
in such way as to abolish one of the
three divisions of the local circuit
court. -. -... -.
There was some talk in court cir.
cles while back to the effect that
three local circuit judges were UNI
necessary-that the business could he

also talk of abolishing the circuit
court at Kailua, Hawaii. on the
ground that all court business could
be handled at Hilo. .....

With the new shops now in full
working order, Superintendent Wha-
len of the Southern Pacific announced
today that Los Angeles shops are
more than living up to specifications
in the turning out of freight cars fol
war purposes.
A new car is delivered in the South
ern Pacific shops every 54 minutes
and within a short time the first or
der, totaling $5,S47, 900 worth of new
rolling stock, will be well on it's way
to completion.
The company has already eomplet-
ed the construction of 36 cabooss cars
and is building 500 flat cars, 1000
box cars and 2400 cars for the Pa
cific Fruit Express. Every one of
these cars is of Southern California
manufacture throughout.
The Griffin Car Wheel Company,
new concern in Vernon, turns out
the wheels and delivers them rough
cast to the Southern Pacific shops,
where the force under H. w. Watkins
bores and mounts them and, using
California lumber, turns out 10 COM
|plete cars every nine-hour working
day.
The need for these cars is readily
recognized when it is understood that
100000 more cars of coal are required
this year than last, due to war pur-
poses, and that almost 5000 trains
have already been used in handling
the million and q quarter United
States soldiers now undey arms, to
SAY nothing of the heavy demands
made by reason of additional manu-
featuring throughout the United
States.
In the construction of these cars,
the trucks are placed on the parallel
tracks that run through the yards
and as each step in the construction
is completed the car is moved only
it's own length before a second stage
in it's construction is reached.
Not only is the Southern Pacific
busy with the construction of freight
cars, but it has already turned out
the first complete engine ever con-
structed in Southern California.
