NO APOLOGY FOR
 BENEVOLENT NEUTRALITY

The policy of benevolent neutrality, even though it has resulted in war, is not one for which any apology needs to be made. It was dictated by a sound and just estimate of the issues of the great war and of the proper relation of American national purposes to those issues. It would nave been incOnceivable for a nation with the ideals of the United States to have assisted the vfolator of Bel gium in reaping any benefit from the outrage. It would have been abhor- rent for a nation so indissolubly as- sociated with the British Common wealth by the vital facts of geogra ph- ical situation, economic intercourse and spiritual partnership, to have done an injury to it's partner in an hour of peril and distress.
 Considering the kind of quarrel in which the great war originated, the United States was bound to start by being apparently neutral, but it's neu- trality, could not be anything but be- nevolent. If the benevolence of our neutrality brings up into collision With the enemies of Great Britain suit, if not gladly, at least without reluctance or misgivings. A choice or this kind springs, from something deeper than German violation of Am erican rights, from something deeper even than similarity of conscious tra- dltion and purpose with Great Bri- tain. It springs from an ultimate community of situation and disposi- tion. in such wise that disaster to the British Commonwealth would leave the American nation in immin- ent physical danger and in utter spir- itual isolation.-The New Republic.

Silent Poses, a beautiful posing offering in which the artistry of quartet of gifted models s~ brought to the fore in series ce exhibitions that should easily estab- flsh it as one of the sensations or the season, headlines the attractions.
 On the list will also be found the names of Kahl, Henry and Walton, a trio of clever entertainers in diver sion of nonsense and song that cannot be beaten for laugh creating merit.

EMPIRE.

One of the most powerful dramatic documents of Metro brand is to be found in the five part Inasterplay, 'aThe Barricade'' in which is featured Mabel Talaferro and an all star cast of we'll known Rolfe-Metro players and which feature photo- production heads the all select and entertaining program at Keeney's s Empire theatre tonight. This feature play unfolds an abGorbingly drama tic tale of, society and the stock mar kets and tells the tale of a woman's s endeavor to revenge wrong done her father by the man she afterwards marries and at the height of, his ca reer ruins him and-but half would be lost in the telling the story. See it and you will be convinced that it is some feature. The eleventh chap ter of '~The Great Secret" with Bush man and Bayne will head the rest of the all select and entertaining pro- gram.
 Morals in fotopolays, like morals to stories and insides of pills, have to be given good solid sugar coating before people really enjoy taking them. The moral in the Famous Players Paramount five part produc- ton, 'The Dummy in which is fea- tured that light comedy star Jack Pickford. brother to Mary Pickford, and which will be the feature attrac- ton at this theatre tomorrow and Saturday; is so we'll coated that it may escape notice. But it seems that Beryl, the poor little rich girl might point one out. She might suggest that quarreling fathers and mothers and flirting nurses aren't just the best sort of care-takers for little girls who sometimes get kidnapped under those conditions as she was in '"The Dunn my. The screen version was adapted from the successful stage play of the same name and is one of the most en- tertaining as well as thrilling com edy-dramatic detective crook plays of the day.

of his intrenched positions. This may be called the second, or trench war fare stage of the campaign when hun dreds of thousands of rounds or high explosive shells will be required for every twenty-five miles of battle front. In all these operations the number of automobiles required will be tremen- dous, but with the vast number in general use and being manufactured every day, it Is inconceivable that there will ever be a shortage after the first confusion is over.
 It is said that from July, 1902, to July, 1915, we manufactured 2,824,527 motor cars of every description, pleas ure and business. Of this number 1,- 705,527 were manufactured in the last three years, and judging from the rate of increase in the numbers being manufactured the annual output will be million or more very soon. From this enormous number of cars it ought to be possible to get together 200,- 900 machines of all sorts in any To- cality in a weeks time and in a con- siderabIy less time in thickly poula- ted localities.
 chimes will carry four soldiers fully cQuIppco WlII OO IOQLOS OA d1uIIuIi ton and ten days ration, in addition to the driver of the machine. A sol- dier fully equipped but without am- munition or rations, will weigh close to 20 pounds. Ten days rations and 30 rounds of ammunition will weigh fifty-five pounds more. To the above should be added the weight of the driver and his rations, making the total weight not far from 1900 pounds, which all machines except the very lightest will carry. at twenty miles per hour over good roads.
 With 100000 machines we could transport 600,000 to 800,0O0 men 150 to 30 miles per day if we had suffi- cient good roads in the war zone. The capacity of any road for moving troops by automobiles may be com puted about as follows: On roads pav- ed over width of sixteen feet, two machines can travel abreast and, al- lowing $50 per mile for such a road, would deliver 1000 men per hour where wanted; that is approximately $500 men per hour for each eight feet width of paved surface, assuming the automobiles to average twenty miles per hour. Of course all ma- chimes with a lower speed than 20 miles per hour, would have to wait until all of the latter speed or greater had gone.
 So far as highway bridges are con- cerned. if they are built to sustain a fifteen-ton road roller, an army can go over them safely. An ordinary field gun and some of the lighter how itzers weigh about four or five tons We must build bigger guns; we are porbably going to have cannon that will weigh six, eight or ten tons and possibly as much as sixteen tons. The large Austian Skoda and other Euro pean field guns probably do not weigh much more than sixteen tons, so bridge which will carry a large road roller safely, will serve the army.
