OF cinema success of the times and
comes direct from the Criterion
Theatre, New York, where it is still
playing to crowded houses. "Civili-
zation" Is unique in that it is an ex-
position of the art of drama and
spectacle as done for the screen by
one of the greatest living producers.
Thos. II. Ince, whose name has be-
come household word throughout
the world for his inimitable genius
in producing the silent drama.
The story of "Civlization" is so
comprehensive that to attempt even
a synopsis of it would be to repeat
the history of mankind. Suffice it
to say that until you have seen it and
marveled at the splendor of its
scenes and the infinite art of its
productional execution you have a
rare and inspiring treat in store.

Under such conditions the grower
can not afford to be careless with his
crop, and it behooves him to use
only the best of seed, treating it
carefully with corrosive sublimate
before planting and handling the
crop with the utmost care in order to
obtain maximum yields of good po-
tatoes. for which he is practically
certain to get very satisfactory prices

WILSON TAXES HAND
 IN LABOR TROUBLES
PRESIDENT WILL coMMANpEER PLANTS WORK ON GOVERN
 MENT CONTRACTS.

ngten.-President Wilson has
 again stepped into the breach to set
 tie conflict between labor and capital
 which threatened to delay the nations War programme. He has let it be known that the governments com
 mandeering power will be made felt
 wherever labor troubles are holding up government work.
 Secretary of War Baker will wield the power, it is stated. At the diree- tion of the president he will place oil plants working on government con tracts under government supervision and keep them there until the war ! ends. The plan is said to have the
 complete indorsepaent of Samuel Com pers, president of the American Fed
 eration of Labor
 The first step in the presidents pro-
 gramme of settling labor disputes was | taken when he conferred with William 1 Dynant of the Council of Defense min ing committee: James Lord, repre-. senting the American Federation of
 Labor, and Frank Harrington of the Illinois miners. 1t is understood that the president delivered an ultimatum that the production of raw materials needed in the manufacture of munl- 1 tions must not be allowed to lag l through friction between employers and employees. The impression given the labor representatives was that the governments communicating power | might be extended to the mines if it
 should be found necessary.
 Cancellation committees will be ap- pointed within few days by the sec
 retary of war. it is reported. and these
 committees will endeavor to effect 1 peaeeable settlements of all labor dis putes Failing to do so, they will re-
 port to the secretary that government
 conduct of the industries effected, is the only method left. President Wilson sent Justice ]. Harry Covington. of the District Stu preme Court, to the Pacific Coast, to report on the l. w. w. troubles there He is acting upon the personal request
 of the president.

STRIVE TO KEEP
 WAR PRICES DOWN
MAKES PERSONAL VISIT TO FED. ERAL TRADE COMMISSION TO
 KEEP PRICES DOWN

Washington. President Wilson turned his attention to the subject of war prices and paid personal visit to the federal trade commission to urge expedition of investigations to as certain the costs of producing mater ials required by the government.
 At the presidents direction the commission has undertaken inquiries 10 determine production costs on most of the basic supplies needed for war purposes, including coal. coke, steel, iron. aluminium. wire, zine, copper, lead, cement, lumber and their dern= atives. Preliminary reports will De forthcoming within a few weeks.
 Announcement of definite policy re- specting war purchases and prices probably will be made soon. Admins tration officials generally already have rather clearly defined ideas as to the course the government will puf- sue War profits will be kept to a minimum and if producers and manu. lecturers evince any great unwilling ness to supply the eountry's war needs at reasonable prices the government $ power to commander materials Will be invoked
 The biggest problem occupying of fcials studying war prices is protee- tion for the general public. Although the proposal is meeting determined opposition the administration intends that the allies shall share with this government in reduced costs for sup plies.
 It is realized however, that heavy government purchases will tend to raise prices to private consumers. The administration desires to keep prices generally down without resort to legislation. Some officials believe this may be done in an indirect Way when the new war industries board begins to decide priority of manufac- ture and shipment of goods.

 VIEWS IF CONGRESS
SENATOR LAFoLLETTE WANTS STATEMENT OF OUR WAR AIMS
 WILL BE ALLOWED TO TALK
SENATOR KING IS LEADER
Introduces Resolutions That United States Will Go On To Finish With "outiaWed German Governmentn-
 Says Germany Is Cracking.

Washington.-Th handful Of out and ont congressional paeifists pro poses to have big peace talk soon within Congress.
 Led by members of the 'wilful twelye,' they will thresh out the ques- tion of getting an allied American showdown of war aims and peace terms. Senator LaFollette gave the ball push by introducing a resolu- tion calling for such statement, and proposing that the United States drop any idea of annexations and punitive indemnites
 Senator King. representing the great majority sentiment, introduced another resolution, demanding that the United States go on to a finish fight with the .toutlawed German government"
 Administration senators Will not at tempt to check the proposed flood of talk Instead, they will let LaFollette, Stone and others get their ideas out, confident that the upshot will be pub lication to the world that America IS in this war to a knockout. and that peace can be talked successfully only when kaiserism and Schreck!iehkeit have been banished from the earth.
 The only thing the leaders will in sist upon is that the peace talk shall be eurbed until the war revenue bill is out of the way.
 They will show-on official author ity-that there are signs of Germany cracking physchoiogically and eco nomically and will urge that the paci- fists get into line in support rather than in hindrance of the war pro gramme. The government position is absolutely opposed to peace proposals now, unless they should be clean cut and bona fide.
 It emphasized it's opposition to peace propaganda, when the State De- partment formally announced it will issue no passports to American dele gates to the second Stockholm peace conference, notwithstanding the Brit ish labor vote in favor of attending. The department refused to discuss its order
 Russia probably will side with this country in baking attendance upon the conference.
 And. if British representatives go they will insist upon the return of All sace-Lorraine to France. return Of Italy's lost provinces and restoration of Belgium. Servia, Montenegro and Roumania, it was said in diplomatic quarters.
