1heum theater for the presentation
Iere Nov. s, 9 and 10, of the great
luman interest play, The Lbertine,
yhiCh The New York Evening Jour
lal said is "A strong gripping story
IF modern life with a surprise finish
like a breath of June roses bringing
close to the hearts of the audience
powerful and timely moral"
According to Mr.. Horn, The Liber-
tine has won high commentator
from the movie critics wherever the
picture has been shown. In prac-
tically every city it has broken the
attendance records and has been &C
claimed by the press and public and
from the pulpit as the most remark
able picture of the kind ever filmed.
The story is said to strike at the
army of spenders who, having fat
purses as the result of the prosper
Gus times in this country in the past
few years, are throwing their wealth
away on lives of pleasure, never
thinking of the proverbial rainy
day" and of those who will have to
bear the burden Of their foolishness.
In point of Photographic excellence,
careful direction and selection of
players. The Libertine is said to rank
with the greatest pictures in film
dom.
A great scene of thrills is filmed
at the close of Sunlight's Last Raid,
where band of outlaws swoops
down on a ranch house determined
to kill every occupant, women and
children included. From window and
loop hole the defenders put up a
brave fight, shooting down score OF
Mexicans until their ammunition is
almost exhausted and nearly every
one is suffering wounds.
Their fate seems sealed when the
rancher's daughter slips from the
house unobserved by the bandits, and
riding across the prairies returns
with q troop of U. s. cavalry just as
the outlaws set fire to the house. The
latter are quickly routed and flee to
the mountains where they run into
a band of vieilantes and are exter-
and their leader killed.
In this Greater Vitagraph Blue
Ribbon feature, which will be the at
traction in the Strand theater on

Janet is taken by Miss Mary Ander-
son, and the remainder of the cast

This is done and the two young
people find themselves in a most en-
baTTassing position. The husband
escapes however. while in the mean
time the real fianCe appears. The
latter proves himself to DO rather a
cad so the newly married couple who
are becoming very fond of each 9TH

ADVERTISING SERVICE

Attention is called to a full page display in this issue
Of The Herald in which are shown Illustrations Of ten Of
the window displays by Grand Forks merchants in the
International Newspaper Window Display contest during
the week of October L. The purpose Of this display,
which was conducted By the newspapers OF tho cities in
which 1t was held. was to bring to the attention Of the
public in a forcible way articles which have been nation
ally advertised. and also to direct tho attention Of advar-
ds'rs themselves to the constantly growing possibilities
of newspaper service.
In the display mentioned the newspapers and busi-
ness houses of more than 400 cities participated, and =
vast number Of advertised articles were shown. In tho
Grand Forks display conductsd BY Ths Herald there were
20 contestants. and three cash prizes were given to con-
testants. In this contest more than 100 nationally adj
vertissd articles were shown. Judges in the contest were
appointed by the Grand Forks Ad club. In the ilustra-
tons there are shown views Of ths three displays which
won cash prtses. and Of the ssvsn to which ribbons were
awarded. =
This feature is a new departure in advertising serv-
ice, and 1t is one which indicates some Of the possible
tiles OF cooperation on the part Of advertisers and news
papers IN bringing to the attention Of the public articles
OF proven merit. And it 10 worth while for the public to
remember that a. 4 rule the widely and systematically adj
vertiaed article IL an article Of merit, for tho advertiser
would not dare to invest his money in advertising an ar
tcle Of any other kind.

SOCIALISTS
CURBED BY MINISTRY

Milan Nov. 5.-The ministerial
meetings held IN Rome have been fol-
lowed Immediately by a decree de-
claring the cities of Turin, A~lessandria
and Genoa in the war zone This ener-
getic action is intended to cut short
an irresponsible Socialist agitation
tending to excite workmen to strike,
depressing the public spirit and Gre
atfng disorder. laxity and sabotage in
local administration by Socialist may
ors or Socialist municipal councillors.
A circular Of the secretary general
Of the Socialist party in italy. siEnor

leading newspapers and IL exciting
general indignation. Judicial proceed
ings are impending against the author
Of the circular. Signor Laxzari has AL
ready been summoned to appear be-
fore the loyal procurator In Rome to
give IN explanation.
A loyal decree issued at the decla-
ration Of Italy's war against Austria
in May, 1915. severely prohibits any
action tending to depress the public
spirit or to shake the confidence Of the
people in the constituted authorities
and otherwise tending to harm the
supreme, interest of the nation. The
Socialist movement calling OF local
authorities to resign ana melting the
munition works. to declare q general
strike violates the royal decree and
renders the guilty ones liable to GRIM
t1al prosecution. The secret circular
above mentioned was issued by the
Socialist leaders so long ago as August
~, and was doubtless responsible for
q certain agitation recently observed.

THE LEAGUE OF LIBERTY

The alliance of nations at war with the Teutonic
powers As described by the London Observer-and per-
maps BY other foreign papers-as the League Of LIB
esty."
It is an admirable title. We know Of none better
that could have been chosen. It defines the alliance
which exists as a close union of Independent factors for
. specific purpose, and that purpose liberty. It is liberty
for which all the members Of this league are fighting.
liberty for the little nation as for the big one to have
it, rights respected, and to have no artificial obstacles
thrown in the way Of its development 1t is the liberty
Of people to govern themselves according to the light
Of democracy. in peace and order. It Is the liberty, which

dtvidual members Of a peaceful community whore each
1oes on his way quietly and industriously. making the
most Of his own time and energies, and at all times fe-
gardful Of the rights of others.
Il is for this liberty that the denocracies Of the
world are leagued together, and this League of Liberty
yin never be broken: for, when the guns have been ST.
eaced and the dragon has been slain, these Same democ-
zacies, with additions from the democratic spirit that is
not suppressed under the rule Of the Hun, will proceed.
- a great union, to bind up the worlds wounds and
work out the worlds destintes along the lines Of peace.

AMERICA IN7THE SETTLEMENT

It has often been said that tho United States Is not
intsrested in European politics. That comment is heard
less frequently of late than earlier in the war, but there
u still evidence Of q feeling that when the war ap-
breaches is close 1t will be the bushness Of our states
what may be considered as special American interests,
andstO regard with q measure Of indifference such things
az the adjustmeut of European boundaries and the form
and functions OF European governments.
Such an opinion is based on a false conception Of
the causes Of the war and particularly Of the reasons
Why the United States IL in war and must remain in it
until the victory for the allies is full and complete This
war represents the effort Of a clique Of Prussian artistic
Gratis to fastan upon the world a system Of military a-
tocracy which would have sounded the death knell Of
liberty in every land. And, while our entrance into it
intrigue by Germany against this nation, it is to destroy
the influences which led to those acts rather than to seek
revenge for them that we are at war.
Assume that Germany were now willing to enter itto
Q solemn engagement with the United States to sink no
mora unarrned ships. to respect the rights Of American
ctttssns wherever they may be. and to withdraw her
sDAss and secret agents from this country, and that in
Same way she could and would give guarantees that, SO
far a. this country is concerned, those engagements
would be kept to the letter. Suppose this were possible,
The United States could not and would not accept all this
Cd the basis Of peace. Though every specific act that has
been committed against this country were adjusted by
the payment of indemnity, and though We were protected
against a repetition Of them. there would be no peace.
The interests Of the United States demand that the
weeid shall be at peace. No single nation can prosper

in the fruitless effort OF war. And because this is true
we must insist. not merely that we shall be immune from
attack, but that, 30 far as human wisdom can make this
possible. the menace OF war shall be removed from the
world forever. e
This brings, us to the ambition which prompted the
war. and to the conditions which served a. tho means
for bringing II about. 1t goes without saying thar the
