conduct of the war, and criticism
thereof. This was held to be neces-
sary because it is notorious that the
military authorities exercise a sweep

The government has received some

effect caused by the emperor's i'm

critics probably had particularly ir

Stupendous Plea
 Against Wdr WiU Be at Coliseum TOniQht.

"Civilization," one of the greatest film sermons against war, and at the same time a plea for righteous war such as the United States and her allies are now engaged in will be shown at the Coliseum tonight and tomorrow.
 This production is one of the firm masterpieces produced by Thomas H. Ince and no pains or expense have been spared in making the picture all that it should be.
 The story shows the nations of world at peace, and then: One man with po- sition and power takes it into his head to make himself the dictator and su- preme, power over all the nations of the earth How he only succeeds in bring ing untold misery and calamity on the entire population of the world, how ba . bies are ruthlessly torn from the arms of mothers and killed how fathers are separated from their families while their young daughters become the prey for every soldier of the ruthless despoiler are all shown.
 But in the end he is thwarted in his designes and just fate is dealth out to him by the Powers above who con trol the destnies of the Universe. The story ends well, but it breaches pow erful sermon which man, woman. or child should fail to see

Two Shows Nightly

Thanksgiving night? Do you remember the water sprite of imagination who used to make beautiful the stagnant waters of Fish Creek? And how the fairy tales by day used to impel sweet dream by night; the maple sugar cabin with pancake shingles on its rooY-and all the other fancies of your childish mind?
 If you do you will hail with joy the announcement that the Coliseum thea tre on Sunday night will present the Bluebird Photoplay Feature. "Undine." !" The story of the film is drawn from Pierre De La Motte Foquet's French classic of the same title--one Of the most beautiful and abiding fairy tales of all time Half in water and half on shore. the many and varied scenes of the screen-play present opportunities for spectacular and impelling pictures of pretty fancy which have been fully realized in the art and invention of the photoplay producer.
 Miss Ida Schnall. famous athlete and swimmer, beautiful of face and divinely formed. was entrusted with the impor tant role of ''Updine'' and her acting upon land and her wonderful expert ness in swimming. diving and cavorting in the water. has fully realized the re- quirements of the role.

"FABRikoID IS 4
 LEATHER SUBSTITUTE

"Fabrikoid" is leather substitute which wears for years without the usual appearance of shoddiness which ordinarily comes from continuous use of split leather and many other up holstery materials. It is prepara- tion which is manufactured with basis of strong. tightly woven cotton cloth into which the outside coating penetrates so that the cloth and coating become one. This is in turn grained so that the casual observer cannot tell whether it is natural grain leather or not Its base is woven of very strong cotton cloth. while the base of coated splits Is a thick pulpy piece of flesh. much weaker than cloth. Both are coated the same way. but from the above it is easy to tell which would be the strongest.
