MAY THROW
TROOPS IN TAMPICO
Carranza Suspected Of Acting
by German Direction.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Great Britain
is considering landing soldiers to pro-
tect her oil interests at Tampico, &C
cording to strong limitations in diplo-
matte circles.
This is understood to be the direct
result of General Carranza's note,
which suggested the cutting off Of
supplies to the allies, and is aimed at
preventing any possible interference
with the British nayy's fuel supply.
Landing of soldiers merely as a
guard would not constitute violation
of the Monroe doctrine, it was said,
unless such an expedition sought to
obtain territory. Carranza's note show
ing signs of German influence is CIV
ing officials greater concern than they
manifest on the surface.

Washington, Feb. IA preemptory
demand for the release of the Yarrow-

state department to be forwarded to
Germany through the Swiss minister.
The demand will probably accompany
communication assuring Germany
that the United States has carefully

the only possible move in the Yarrow-

demand for the release of the prison

demand had been completed.
A report ordered from Honolulu as

CIVILIZATION.
Thos H. Ince's Wonderful Cinema
Production Coming for Four Days
Beginning Next Sunday.

Civilization, the startling cinema
production that comes to The Rhode
next Sunday, February 18th, for four
days, has been proclaimed by press,
pulpit and educators, to be the most
stupendous production ever shown.
Undoubtedly the present war has given
a keen interest to the spectacle.
The picture is an allegorical story
of war that has laughed at the world S
Haunting boast of a higher progress.
1t pictures the awfulness of a world
mad with the bloodlust of conquest.
It shows how half the manhood of a
world may be swept, by the terrific
death dealing machinery war, from
the peaceful valleys into the scar
let trails.
The great production that cost one
million dollars, was over year in the
making. Forty thousand people and
whole regiments of cavalry and ar
tillery were used making the stipend
Gus scenes. Real cities were built and
destroyed. A squadron of battle aero
HAoiACo NSAO uoCQ III El4S Ll1EutA6Sb u
areal encounters. The most thrilling
and all inspiring naval battles ever
conceived were staged with the aid
and cooperation of the United States
navy. There is shown one naval bat
tie alone in which eighteen thousand
dollars in ammunition was fred at the
enemy IS fleet of converted battle ships,
which took three months to construct
and prepare. Every contrivance and
death dealing device known to modern
science of war is used. A passenger
steamer loaded with women and
children is sunk by submarine IN
full view of the audience.
If the awful trail of battle stretches
wildly through the scenes of the mar
rative, it is in the hope that a shocked
and appalled, world may henceforth
devote itself more earnestly to the
cause of peace. Throughout and be-
yond the great scenes of conflict there
is developed a wonderful love story.
for it is the story of Gods love of
humanity. The picture is filled with
scenes of vivid contract, and there are
moments in which the scenes are so
beautiful that one of Chicago's great
est moving picture critics was impolled
to call the production GA Picture
in Poems."
Civilization +" is as real as life, as
wonderful as vision. It is
shown twice daily - matine. and
evening. advdw
