POSSIBILITIES OF
MAN AB0LISHING WAR
Not the Abstract Idea, but the
Horrible Reality, Is What
Demands Attention.

All those social virtues, all those
noble qualities Of human character
which manifest themselves in "A nation
under the scourge Of war, are not the
fruits OF war. They are the witnesses
to an immediate and natural reaction
of the human spirit against war
The fruits OF war are massacre and
murder, wounding and death. destruc-
ton ana ruin, mourning and lamenta-
tlon, raplne and rape, desOlatiOn and
despair, hatred and the legacies Of
hate Those things which quicken
the beatings OF our hearts. which
pulse thru the national life in waves
of strengthening enthusiasm, namely
the Valor Of the soldier, the devotion
of doctor and nurse, the self-sacrifice
of the whole people, and the stole
silence Of the mourncr. these things
are but the manifestation Of spirit
ual reaction against war war Is
Satan let loose upon the earth. All
the splendor that we associate with
war is humanity's instructive reaction
against Satanism
If there be any man left in Europe
who still cher shes the tradition OF
Treitschke, or who still finds more
wholesome manhood in Niet2sche
than in Christ, let us be sure of this:
that he is far from the bath OF
blood and far beyond the utmost
range of the guns. To those who
make war, whose bodies are shaken by
the shuddcring thunder OF the shells
whose bayonets are red with human
blood, whose eyes have seen the
hlanching terror Of a crouching
enemy. whose days are spent I'm earth
burrows, whose nostrls are filled
with foulness, and whose hearts are
hoy W'h home-longings, war iy he'll.
And to those millions who mourn, to
these also war is hell.
No Hearing in Peace Times.
This contention needs not to be
argued. Put that which comes from

ton, can Man Abolish War" this

ton of reasonable men. For in no
hour. except the dreadful hour of war.
can 1t be asked with hopefulness. In
times of peace men are so set upon
their own affairs that they will not
listen to the idle idealist. and nations
I are so consumed with the politics of
the state that they shove out of their
way the man who would interrupt
them with the politics of the world at
large: and as for governments. they
are so convinced of the continuity of
their perilous diplomacy that they re-
gard only with amusement the ideal
izing layman who presumes to tres
pass on their everlasting ground. But
in times of war there is on all sides
different mood. Death suddenly
springs into the homes of men, seiz-
ing the wellbeloved and dragging
him thru torture to the grave; panic,
sweeping all the ancient freedoms
aside. as suddenly presides over the
discussions of senate and forum: and
| blood is splashed on every trembling
parchment OF the diplomatists. Hor-
rble beyond the reach of language is
war-yes. but only in times of war.

MUCH EXTRA WORK IN MARCH.

It's between seasons now when few
persons perspire as much as health
demands. The result is double work
for the kidneys, for the kidneys must
throw out waste matter from the sys-
tenn that is eliminated through the
pores when persons perspire. Over
worked, weak or disordered kidneys
need help now. H. B. Stone, Reading,
Pa, writes: whenever l need a kid
ney remedy l rely on Foley Kidney
Pills. They have been worth their

ADJUSTMENTS
Ethel Barrymore in "The White
Raven"

The story of "The White Raven"
ich Ethel Barrymore is the star
e Isis tomorrow, briefly outlined,
as it's real beginning in an incident
in the life of Nan Baldwin's father,
who, ruined in business by his part
ner (played by Walter Hitchcock)
and afterwards refused aid by him,
goes with his young daughter to the
Alaskan gold fields. Her father dy-
ing prematurely, Nan is left to earn
her living in dance hall and, fired
and with hatred toward her fathers
partner, she offers herself to the win
ner of a card game for the money
won. The innate virtue of the wmn-
an and the respect of that virtue by
the man allows her to go forth I'M
harmed, money in hand, gut with the
shadow hanging over her that in the
hour of her triumph she will receive
the two deuces with which the game
was won, accompanied by a demand
that she return to "the stranger" in
accordance to the promise which she
is forced to make on regaining her
freedom.
In later years 7'the stranger" again
wanders into the story, this time as
an attractive society man, without
any of the hallmarks of his former
appearance; the result being that she
falls in love with him while accom-
plishing the ruin of her fathers for
nner partner. In her refusal of his
offer of marriage, which happens in
conjunction with the arrival on the
scene of the two deuces, and her re-
turn to Alaska, pleasing climax is
brought about when in the carrying
out of what she believes to be her
duty she comes face to face with her
lover in that far-off Alaskan cabin.

All the scenes in the newspaper

were filmed in one of the big news
paper offices of New York. Director
S. Rankin Drew, who produced the
picture, secured permission for the
filming of these scenes and transport
ed the necessary paraphernalia to the
location.
The reporters who were writing up

Dorothy Gish in "stage Struck"

Charles Dickens would have enjoy
ed witnessing a performance of
"Stage Struck" the new Triangle
Fine Arts comedy-drama in which
Dorothy Gish is starred and which
shows at the Isis Thursday. The
various characters shown in this
screen play would have given the
great novelist many hearty laughs
and might have stimulated him to
write on the same subject of which
this picture treats. The vanities, fol
bles and frailties of human nature
are shown in all their human and
pathos.

THE PRESIDENT HAS Rail PLAN
Mr.. Wilson viii Probably Go Before
Congress Soon to Urge the
Necessary Legislation.

Washington. Dec. 11-President Will
son win go to Congress for special
legislation to bring about u~nification
of the raih cads in the war.
The fact that the President has de-
cided definitely on such move became
known tonight after he had gone over
the whole transportation situation
with Senator Newlands, chairman OF
the Senate interstate commerce com
mittee. He probably will ask for the
legislation in an address to be deliv.
cred before the Christmas holidays.
Indications tonight were that the
President has confided to none of his
associates his full intention, and off
Gals were doubtful as to just what he
may ask. Some were of the opinion
that he might request action in line
with the suggestion of the Interstate
Commerce Commission that antitrust
and a%nti-pooling laws might be sus-
pended while the war lasts. Others
pointed out that the commerce com
missions report also carried the sug-
gestion that additional legislation
might be needed were the government
to decide to take over operation of
the roads.
The Presidents advisers are divided
in their views as to what is necessary
to be done. Most of them, however,
have come out for government opera,
ton and some of the strongest sup
porters Of this proposal declare the
executive already under the Army APP
preparation Act has the power to take
over the roads for operation under
an administrator.
The position of the railroads them
selves was set forth today in a letter
to Senator Newlands from Fairfax
Harrison, chairman of the railroad
board. The railroads, Mr.. Harrison
declared, do not seek a repeal of any
legislation, believing the eo-operativ,
use Of facilities recently put into oper
alton will bring about maximum eff
cheney. Neither do they seek a LOAF
from the government, he said, though
government aid is asked in obtaining
for them on their own individual
credit new capital needed.
