"THE BIRTH OF a NATION"

The magnitude of David W. ,Grif-
fith's feat in stating "The Birth of
Nation, is almost appalling-at
least to the devotees of the older
forms of theatrical entertainment.
Where now are the little groups of
actors, the pinchbeck scenery and
the petty properties Of the so-called
Legitimate" drama? By compari-
son with the new art, the "legiti-
mate" measures to the mountain
lie a molehill. Instead of scenery
for his background Griffith has used
Nature. For subject he has cover
ed $50 years of American history.
Eighteen thousand people have done
his bidding and in the hair-raising
rides of the Ku KluX Klan three
thousand riders and horses sweep
over the dusty roads.
No wonder that this magnificent
historical spectacle is the talk of
the country. 1t has established an
entirely new art in the realm OF
the theare-the art of pantomimic
screen spectacle with an orchestral
score perfectly synchronized to the
action. 1t has also created tre-
mendous sensation because of its
vaster and more forceful treatment
o fthe theme of Thomas Dixon's
"The Clansman," which both as
book and play created the greatest
furore of the last decade.
The great deeds of the Civil War
and the horrors Of Reconstruction
are made to live again and the ma
ton reborn is apothesized. Mr..
Griffith, pioneer among directors,
managed this stupendous achieve.
ment without the aid of dialogue
or speech, for motion pictures with
music and effects tell vividly this
thrilling tale of fifty years ago.
"The Birth of Nation" will be
produced at the Opera House Fri,
day and Saturday, Dec. 18th and
29th, matinees both days. Seats or
sale now at Opera House.

TO MAKE
MUNITIONS ABOARD

. London, Dec. 17.-As soon as the
American armies are ready to take
the field very large number OF
American skilled workmen will be
sent to England and France to as
sist in the manufacture of munitions
says The Evening Standard. The
view is taken by the members of the
American mission according to
the same authority, that it is desir-
able that as much of the highly
skilled work as possible be done on
this side of the water. A mine or
torpedo might destroy in a mo-
ment weeks of the labor of thou
sands of hands, and that risks in
that direction should be reduced to
a minimum.

SWEETHEART KNITTERS.

Demure as though they had stepped
from grandma's daguerro-
types,
They sit and knit, these modern
maids
(Those old danes prototypes),
Catching the stitch and casting the
thread,
Making some man their debtor,
Working as long as the daylight
lasts,
Knitting a sweetheart sweater.
The needles flash with an amber
CLINT
In the soft yarn, silver gray =
While the eyes above shine with a
dream
We call "some far, sweet day.
Round and round with "ribbing'
that's taut,
To tick of the midnight clock,
Tangled hearts in the unwound
skein,
Knitting a sweetheart sock.
Widening for shoulder or for chest,
"Perling" and wiping a tear,
Kissing the stitches above the heart,
With a prayer that God be near
While the needles fly in the olive
yarn,
Forging a soldiers fetters
For they knit and knit, these patriot
danes,
Sweetheart socks and sweaters.

WILL SON DENIES ASKING
BRYAN'S RESIGNATION
White House Issues Presidents Let
ter, Written to Former Secre-
tary.

Washington, Dec. 1e.-The White
House made public letter from
President Wilson denying that he
demanded the resigr alton Of Will
liam Jennings Bryan as secretary of
state because Bryan told Ambassa-
dor Dumba, of Austro-Hungary,
that Americas first Lusitania note
was a "bluff". This old charge is
revived in book, according to the
presidents letter to Bryan.
"You may quote me as saying
that I did not ask for your resigna-
ton or desire it, as any one can
learn from my note accepting your
resignation" said the presidents
letter, dated the 18th. "And, this
statement ought also to be a sufti-
cient answer to the criticism of you
based upon the Dumba interview,
for I could not make it if I thought
you responsible for the misinterpre-
tation placed upon that interview in
Berlin. But knowing at the time
all the facts, I did not give. the mat
ter serious thought, and l may add
in Justice to you that as you
promptly corrected the misinterpre-
tation when within a few days it
was brought to your attention it
could not have affected the dlplo-
matte situation"

What is felt to be essential both
in the interest of economy and ef-
cheney is to keep all the factories
in Britain, France and Italy well
equipped with skilled labor and raw
material, and in this direction the
United States will, as her shipping
program is developed, play more
prominent part.

the Cunard liner Feltria, with at
least two colored American fire
men in the SO missing, was re-
ported by travellers from Europe
who were in New York today.
The Feltria sank May s, they

Maine, under American charter
and flying the American flag.
She was armed. The Maine was
sunk by torpedo without warn

EDITOR THE TIMES:
We note that Commissioners
Gronen, Atkins and Petit have
placed themselves ON record as
being opposed to plan which was
intended to. benefit the working
man of Tacoma.
They voted against the esta5-
lishment of q public market which
would place a few of the needful
things of life within easier reach
of the poor devil who is grinding
eight, nine or ten hours a day to
keep sould and body together and
feed his wife and family.
The reason assigned by these
hammer artists was the expense
which would be incurred to place
the building in shape for the pur-
pose intended, but as nearly as we
can figure out the facts of the
case, the negative vote YVES due to
protests OF the Retail GSocers AS
soication. From where we sit 1t
would appear appropriate to in
quire what stand-in these three
men have with the retail grocers.
Also to inquire what good rea-
son any of the three can give for
opposing plan to take fall out
of "Old H. c. L." by giving the
under dog a chance to grab a
bone.
Why should the wishes of the
few be allowed to override the
wishes of the many who desire and
need public market which will
enable them to buy at little lower
figure than they are obliged to
pay the retail grocer?
While we tolerate the retail
grocer as necessary evil, and do
not object to his getting all he
can for his goods, we certainly
do object to the assassination of
a plan which would put teh elastic
band in a dollar bill and make It
cover a little more of the aching
void.
1t is just such action as that
taken by the council which makes
1t possible for the food pirates to
remain in control of the situation
and defeat the effort of the work.
ingman to better conditions.
The vote of the workingman
cuts some ice in Tacoma elections
and II the three commissioners
who got a strange hold on the

position and get thei rears close
to the ground, they will hear the
tramp of many feet and the MUIR

Is defeat at the polls for the man
who listens to the voice of the

krahn was driving his Ford along

was turned over by the force of
