JUST RESOURCES
WON 7 WIN WAR
Secretary of Interior Says
Utmost Efforts of Indi-
Yiduals Needed.

Washington, D. C., Dec. SIN his
annual report published today, secre-
/ tary OF the interior Lane, in charac-
teristically striking phrases. portrays
the transition Of a peaceful de-
mocracy into a nation organized for
war. Possession Of resources alone,
he warns the country, does not win
wars and recouuting the enormous
progress made on every hand declares
the physical stores OF the United
States are almost completely a. com
mand Of the worlds needs.
What can you DO TO serve me-"
quotes the secretary. 80 that CUES
ton each individual and each depart
ment OF the government must give
answer. The answer Of this de-
partment IS that It has put every
agency and activity which It has
at the service OF those depart
ments mored irectIy concerned with
war making. Our men Of scien-
tific knoWledgc-yne tallurgists. chem
lists. engineers, tOpoEraphers-have
found new work at their hands. The
hOmesteaders and the miners on the
public lands have been released from
their obligations II they 20 into the
army or show themselves TO be of
greater service off their lands than
on them. The reclamation service on

gated lands and the Indians on a hun

paign for more meat and more wheat
The patent office has been searched
cOr new devices that could be brought
into use to Kill the submarine or limit
its destructiveness, fOv the plans Of
heretofore unused lethal weapons. and
for the formulate OF improved or IN
known sources Of power.
Our Work Has Changed
Under the imperative mandate OF
war that all things shall become sub
ject TO a new classification according
to their usefulness IN carrying on the
nations struggle. certain phases Of
our work have fallen into the back
ground, while others have been
brought into the high light Of national
Importance.
Men who had regarded themselves
as mOdestly useful only in the discov-
ering and revealing Of new sources of
material strength found that their
years Of experience in the mountains
and on the desert. in laboratories and
in mines, callel them at once into the
thick Of the European struggle.
DemOcrncies Not At Best in War.
"A democracy making war IS never 7
an agreeable sight. for it is not in its
normal line OF life. And those who Z

the game as w=ll as might be. pay an /
unconscious compliment to the merits I

Moore's Strand

Herbert Brenon's photoplay produc-
ton, "The Fall of the Romanoffs.' will
be the attraction at Moore's Strand
Theater all this week. The scenario
was adapted from the memoirs of
Sereius Trufanoff Iliodor, who Is
claimed to have been confidant and
finally opponent Of Rasputin, and VINO
will appear in person at each per-
formance in conjunction with the pro-
lection of the film.
The narrative begins with a study OF
the early career of Rasputin, the monk,
who, by hypnotic power, or otherwise,
is said to have dominated the house
hold of the czar and in course of time
furnished one of the chief reasons for
play, first as the mountebank scoHed
at by jeering mobs. but. by reason OF
his apparent ability to forecast events
with approximate accuracy IS sum-
moned by the emperor of all the Rus
sias, and, by lucky chance. winning
a permanent place in the court life of
the RomanofS.
Moving onward with mighty sweep,
and tracing step by step Russia's grasp
of freedom, the picture Is declared to re-
veal the story of Rasputin, as real ruler
of Russia and the most astounding adj
yenturer of modern times, rising from
peasant filth to the silken solendors Of
Petrograd where he makes grand
dukes and tho czar himself his fol-
lowers. 1t depicts the discovery of the
Mad Monk, Iliodor; portrays his i'm
prisonment and escape. and graphically,
pictures Rasputin's bloody ascent to
supreme power. the conspiracy ending
in his sensational death and the dawn
If the Russian revolution.
