WAR WORK AT
THE NAVY YARDS

Washington, D. c., Nov. 90
Nearly $4,000 appointments were
made to the forces Of mechanics,
helpers and labOrers at navy
yards and other naval establish
ments during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1917, and since
that date appointments have been
made in increased proportion.
An appropriation of S75OO,OOO
is now being expended in the en-
largement of the great naval gun
factory at Washington, which,
when completed will furnish
employment for 1000 or more
skilled mechanics, in addition to
the 5000 already at work in the
plant. In this mammoth factory,
one of the best equipped and
most interesting in the world, are
built the great guns for our war
vessels, which carry to every
country the message of Ameri-
cas- ability to project herself and

The new naval aircraft factory
at Philadelphia, which will be
completed this month, will also
employ about 5000 men,
The workers who man such
plants are of a superior class,
and they feel a personal pride i'm
turning out products that will
stand the test of conflict with the
arms of other nations. A con
siderable part of the building of
war vessels is also done i'm Gov

THE BIRTH OF A NATION"
Greenwood Theatre Two Nights, Wed.
nesday and Thursday. May 2-3-
Matinee Thursday.

Greenwood Theatre Two Nights, Wed.
nesday and Thursday, May 2-3-
Matinee Thursday.
No one who has e e "The Birth of
a Nation" that spectacular production
with music, which will play a limited
return engagement at the Greenwood
Theatre beginning Wednesday, May
End, will say .aught but that D. w.
Griffith has shown himself to be the
master stage director Of the world.
1.-THE Birth of a Nation" is not a
photoplay in the accepted n of
that word. 1t is a master creation, an
epic story presented with the realism
Of actuality by talented players who
seem to be living again in the "tirnes
that tried mems souls" There is no
one who is not moved and thrilled by
the clash of great armies on the field
of battle and that appeal is to all sorts
and conditions of men, women and
children as is evidenced by every audi
ence that gathers to enjoy this eighth
wonder of the world.
While the fine artistic execution is
truly epoch-making, probably the basic
reason for its phenomenal success is
to be found in the theme. It is a big
historical romance, treating Of the
most momentous period in the his
tory of the United States, = period
which is not only highly important in
the story Of this country, but n
which is still remembered by living
men.
Add to the sublimity of the epic the
intensity of the short story and n
has ar approximate value of 1.-THE
Birth Of a Nation" A large part of
the power Of the piece comes from the
overwhelming rapidity Of its action.
The spectator is carried hither and
thither with bewildering facility.
Stirring scenes r piled upon each
other with almost confusing speed
and scenes of historical Importance
almost jostle each other on the
screen. Because Of this rapidly Of
action it is a common occurrence to
hear people say while leaving the
theatre after three hours Of wonder
ment and pleasure that it only SEEM
ed az if they had been there for an
