Washington, August 4.-(Special.)-T which in the future may prove to be an absorbing romance of the screen is today simply an interesting story involving the ambitious daughter of William B. Bankhead, representative of the Tenth Alabama district.
 The news Is this: Miss Tallulah Bank head, daughter of Representative Bank head and granddaughter of Senator Bankhead will be given a trial on the motion picture stage. She is happy, for is not her ambition about to be realized? For years-not very many, true for the young lady is scarcely 16-she has in dulged in dreams of a stage career. To her the future is unfolding and the pros pect is roseate.
 Just how it all came about Is another and perhaps the more interesting phase of the story. It is best to begin at the beginning.
 THE PICTURE SUBMITTED
 Sometime ago, the Motion Picture Magazine offered to give to each of 12 beautiful young ladies a stage trial. In terested readers were asked to submit photographs Mrs. Bankhead. aware of the ambitious inclnations of Miss Tallu- lah, submitted picture of that young lady.
 In all several hundred thousands of photographs were received by the maga- zine Time was required. Days and weeks elapsed. The Bankheads had al- most forgotten that one of the family was engaged in a sharp competition. And then something unusual happened
 In a certain section of Washington there Is spiritualist, one of those re- markable women who look into the soul of ordinary beings, find out what the soul would, if it could speak, and then ascertain just what and in what manner dreams will come true. One night the Bankhead family-all gathered in Wash ington-visited this spiritualist.
 What she told the senator, John, Will and the other older members of the fam fly was of little importance. What she told the young lady dreaming of the stage, however, was very important.
 THE FUTURE REVEALED
 With eyes closed and face uplifted, this spiritualist spoke as if from another world:

 The Alabama Coal Operators Associa- tion believes in the open shop, and practices it itself. Its members pay such wages as they feel they can afford, and sell their product at such prices as may seem to them advisable, without regulation directly or indirectly by the Association. Its members may operate under the closed shop or the open shop principle and still be members. The Association does not attempt to force the views of one member upon any other member, on any subject.
 If miners and mine workers feel that it is to their interest to stop work on the date named by their paid leaders, all that the operators ask is that they square up their working places, bring out their tools, re- port their desire to sever their relations with the company to the timekeepers, so that the operators may arrange at the earliest possible moment after they stop work to pay them what may be due, so that they may seek other work where they be- lieve conditions are more favorable to them
 In view of the urgent need of this coun- try for coal to move the trains carrying food clothing and munitions to our young men who are now or soon will be fighting in the trenches and the need of coal to run the ships that carry food, clothing and mum itions across the water, both to our men and those of the allies, it is the desire of the operators to continue to the best of their ability to furnish this coal, and believing that the men who leave the mines in obedi- ence to the orders of the paid leaders have no desire to hamper the work of the United States, we ask that they as promptly as pos sible, vacate the houses they now occupy, So they may be re-occupied by men who are willing to work and help our own boys instead of the Kaiser.

A CARD To the Goal Miners of This District

1t IS with much regret that we learn from the public press that the miners and mine workers of this district have been influenced by the paid leaders to call strike, effective August 20th, next The coal operators of Alabama have for nine years so conducted their business as to have peace in the industrial field. During that time they have consistently worked toward the betterment of the conditions under which their employees live and work. As the paid leaders denominate this vel fare work as charity and in the name of the men repudiate and scorn it, the operators feel that they should say that they have never considered this work one of charity" but have considered it both a privilege and duty to cooperate with their employees to make better and easier the lives of the employees and their families. It would be with sincere regret on the part of the operators, and doubtless on the part of the public, that the operators would be forced to discontinue their part of the social welfare work at the behest of the union as has been indicated
 The right of the men to organize is con- ceded by every one. The right of the men, after organizing, to stop work, is conceded by every one The right of those who stop work by threatened force or other forms of intimidation, to prevent others from work ing, is not conceded.
 The coal operators have expressed no objection to the employees becoming af- filiated with any church. society or lodge or union they might select, but they do ob- ject to those who have affiliated attempt ing to force others to do so and thus dis organize and disrupt operations. For ex- ample, the operators would object to any church which would require all workers to join that particular church in order to

is not so much to assimilate a large
mass OF facts as 1t is to develop GER
tain faculties; such for example as
perception, reason. memory, and ap-
plication. Then she explained to me
that they are faculties of the divine
Mind, and as such must be reflected
through all alike. 1t comedies the
right to every one to achieve the
mental might Of a genius. Inasmuch
as God is my mind and my intelli-
gence, is was my right and duty to
claim and exercise that intelligence
which knows all that is necessary to
know. So clear was my relation to
divine intelligence established. that
l ceased to limit my mental capacity
by the size of brain. Its scope was
broadened to that larger view of d.
vine intelligence which transcends
brain. The explanation was contin-
ued until I could realize to a degree
my true relation to God, who is the
only Mind and intelligence. When I
could realize this. it became reality
to me, with the result that I was
completely healed of the difficulty.
The truth about God and my relation
to Him had set me free. Therein is
the proof that no human intelligence
has any validity If contrary to the
divine faculties; and such. Of the hui

We have no record in the four COS

Sometimes it occurs that one is
so completely overwhelmed by sor-

CONGRESSMAN MASON ON CON-
SCIENTI0US DIRECTORS.
Chicago Tribune.)

Chicago, June 30.-(Editor Of The
Tribune. Your very unknd and I'M
fair editorial on conscientious OBJ
jectors this morning prompts me to
ask you for a brief space to reply.
You describe the conscientious man
as follows:
No matter what the p~rovocation,
his philosophy demands absolute nom
resistance. He must renounce all
thought Of using his fists or using
firearms for self-protection. He is
not entitled to shoot the burglar who
enters his home or to fight off the
highwayman who picks his pocket.
He cannot ever call a policeman to
do these things for him, because it
would not be right 10 seek another
to do what he cannot conscientiously
do himself.
No other kind Of objector can re-
fuse to fight without placing himself
in the traitor class.
Now, there are many conscientious
people who believe that we ought to
prepare to defend this country and
who do not believe that it is a wise
military plan to send American
soldiers through the dangers of the
sea when there are so many soldiers
of our allies, notably Great Britain,
who are so much nearer the fighting
line than our boys are. 1t is admit
ted that Great Britain has two mil
lion trained and well equipped SOL
diers within a few miles of the firing
line who run no danger of sub
marines in crossing the English
channel.
There are many, also, who believe
that those who want to go, like the
four Roosevelt divisions, ~so-called,
ought to be allowed to go, as the
law provides. These people r not
in the traitor class; they are just as
anxious to win the war as any one.
We gain nothing for country
or for ourselves by calling hard
names.

Dear Sir
The daily press reports that Roose-
welt in his Decoration Day address
said that we ought not to allow any
body to speak German in America
II we could pass a law by which the
German speaking population Of the
United States could learn English
over night they would probably be
most thankful, but to have a man
Of Rooseyelt's standing make such a
silly statement is certainly dis
couraging.
Roosevelt cannot get over the fact
that he lost the nomination for the
presidency because of the belief that
he would not be able to carry the
German vote. We should remember
that we have to live and do business
with the Germans in this country
and this kind Of batting is going to
develop lasting animosities. Our
melting pot is not working any too

know we viii have an East st. Louis

tiles. The best citizen today is he

the different nationalities Of which
our country Is made up. The worst
enemy to America, the greatest
friend Of the Kaiser, is he who sows
the seed Of national discord. 1t does
not make any difference where the
parents of any citizens Of the United
States were born, their country is
equally dear to them, and any
suspicion Of their loyalty is a per-
sonal insult.
Yours truly,
Henry Browne.
