From a number of prominent Amer
leans recently returned from European
war fronts President Wilson Is gather
ing nrst-hand testimony concerning
conditions there and among civilian
populations of Americas allies. Men
who have made observations within the
been welcome visitors to tho White
House, where they have been piled with
questions by the President.
OF special interest to Mr.. Wilson. ac-
cording to most of these callers. are re-
ports on the spirit OF the civilians,
whose morale has such tremendous ef-
feet on the enthusiasm of their armies.
How do the people talk" What ,Siia d. do
termination to win the war; These
are typical queries to which the Presi-
dent is reported as seeking full an
SwerS.
To Fight Until Menace Is Removed.
So far, the answers almost universal
ly have been that the great mass Of
civilians of France, England, Russia,
Italy and other allies want no cessation
of the war until Germany's menace is
removed. Peace agitation. food riots
and other seeming indications of dis
satisfaction. reported occasionally by
cable from allied countries. are said to
be caused by only small proportions of
the people and represent the spirit of
the nations no more than cases of draft
resistance represent Americas ideas.
Russia holds the Presidents special
interest. DR.. Frank Billings. the Chi
cago physician who headed the Amer
lean Red Cross special mission to that
country. gave him strong assurance
that the Russian common people wish
passionately for the defeat of German
militarism and intrigue. and have lit
tie thought of counting peace un.il that
result is accomplished. The radical
Bolsheviki pacifsts, he said. are a
small minority and their activity is
Influenced by German agents.
Others Report From Russia.
Somewhat similar reports were made
by DR.. John r. Mott and Cyrus Nc
Cormick, members of the American
government mission to Russia, who
have talked with tho President re-
Gently.
William Allen White, Kansas editor,
q White House visitor a few days ago,
told Mr.. Wilson that food riots in Ital-
ian cities were caused by popular feel
ing against bakers and food manipula-
tors and did not reflect dissatisfaction
with the principles or conduct of the
war.

SUNDAY THE PREACHER.

Fire and birthstone preaching is
said. to be-. a real disappointment. 10
most of those who hear Billy Sunday
in Atlanta There is much inclination
on all sides to criticise Sunday for his
uncouth, rough, unpublished language.
And it was a much greater disappoint-
ment when it came time to hit the
sawdust trail" to find that only pro
fessed Christians were there to hit it.
The great army of sinners were not
those on whose ears the appeal fell.
Billy had not provided for day of
reform for the reformed. else he
might have had a great time when he
called on his hearers to hit the trail
Church people are evidently the audi
ence most of the time.
But the newspapers have prepared
the way and made the meeting one glo-
rious round of notoriety for the already
famous Billy. And he may possibly
be doing good 1t is to be hoped so.
But it is hard to imagine that much
good can be done in meeting where
and thousands of people
come from many sections of the state
simply to look at the preacher and
hear him much in the same spirit as
one going to the circus to see the ami
mails and the strange sights.

I Kerensky lost his popularity because
he opposed peace. II Germany Sc
cures peace with Russia, it will be at

Unless the allies prevent it, Germany
is going to quit the conflict with as

In Russia just that thing is likely

And this probably fits it better than
anything else that could be said about
it. Ivan Abramson author and direc-
tor of the play, in his every dramatic
incident, and there are many through
out the seven acts, leads up to the
'throbbing, interest compelling situa-
ton. characterized by the New York
American as the most intense ever
shnown on a scroon.
"Enlighten Thy Daughter" is ply
steal demonstration of the fact that a
great and powerful sermon can be so
garbed in an entertaining guise as to
make it attractive enough to appeal to
every element
Where THE Birth Of a Nation
showed us the changes of the distant
past and the Passion Play" depicted
ancient Biblical times, "Enlighten Thy
Daughter" is a farreaching appeal to
fathers and mothers to protect their
growing children, to look into the fu-
ture, to seek happiness for themselves
their daughters and the world, in edu

"Enlighten Thy Daughter" boasts
eight recognized screen stars. Frank
