fishes a scare" article by a Hollander
who has lived long in America and has
just returned from New York He is
amazed at the Dutch compliance about
the food outlook and warns Holland that
she has nothing more to expect in the
line Of foodstuffs and fertilizers from
the United States so long as the war
lasts. This. he says. is not because
President Wilson is unfriendly TO Hol-
land nor even because the object of the
embargoes Is to prevent neutrals from
sending foodstuns into Germany, but
simply because when America has helped
her own population and the allies moth
ing will remain available for neutral
countries, and especially those in Europe
President Wilson'S motto and that of
the whole country since America sided
with the allies. says the correspondent is
''neutrals last" SO that in his opinion
II is practically sure that the seventy
Dutch ships now anchored in American
harbors win not be allowed to clear with
their cargoes of grain and other staples
until peace has been agreed upon
This article has not failed TO produce
the saddest impression in Holland. where
tho government already has to struggle
with the difficulties Of the coal situation
This country can get coal only from Ger
many. for Engiand's mines are busy sup
plying the allies needs in an addition to
the home needs.
Germany pledged herself under oath to
send to Holland 100000 tons a month.
which Is the minimum this country must
have il it is going to save its national
life from paralysis. Germany now sends
barely 12o. 700 tons. while in return for
the coal delivery Holland sends to Ger

here
Germany now admits that she does not
send more Saal because she has no labor

send Dutch workr1en into Germany to
get coal out of -h~ German mines for
Holland. No shs@Sr has yet been made
to the proposal. which came as a shock
to many persons here. as 1t Illustrated
the spirit in which Germany signs economic
agreements with weak neighbors and then
fails to keep them 1t is suggested that
Holland might say to Germany when

it are poured all races. Out of it is
born a new race-the Americana
race which is to make the nation
strong or weak. All races that have
helped to make America what she is,
have suffered and %prospered with the
other races. No single race has suf-
fered or prospered alone. THE Birth
of a Race" will picture all this and
noe. In prophetic vision it will bring
all races-will see each other as they
are. 1t is well known fact, and one
which the reader will readily recog-
nize that the motion picture industry
has earned more money in the same
length of time than any other indus
try in the world. Today it stands
fifth as compared with all other indus
tries in the United States. The fol-
lowing returns will give you an idea
as to the Importance of the motion
picture industry. These reports and
earnings are taken from what we
believe t be a thoroughly reliable
source.

ed over 700 per cent.
Traffic in Souls paid the producer
over 5000 per cent.
"Neptune's Daughter" has paid 1900
per cent.
Civilization" has already paid 400
per cent.
"The Spoilers" a Selig production,
is reported to have paid 700 per cent,
and is still paying.
"The Crisis" a new Selig produc-
ton, has already paid more than
the cost Of production.
The opportunity offered you to in
vest a few dollars in the Birth of a

races, the large returns which this

V%aughan's Values

Perhaps many readers of The Sun
would like to know who are taking
advantage of these values I offer
weekly.
The biggest men in town, they are
the ones Not necessary the mar who
makes the most money, nor the man
largest in size, but every man, rich
or poor, who feels that love of wife
and family is greater than love of
money is a big man. When he reaches
the point of buying a home for his
family, where the wife can reign su-
preme, he becomes, indeed, a very big
man.

sropl RgApl THINK Acr!l

At last the longlooked-for oppor.
tunity has come to you, the oppor-
tunity to make the money you have
worked for work for you.
Many men and women work for a
salary. Most of these put away a
few dollars every month and in due
time they save enough none to
keep them dry during that much
dreaded "rainy day" Some men and
women invest their savings in what
are known as "gilt-edge securities
In this way they make their savings
earn for them four to six per zen a
year, A few men and women, men
and women with judgment, courage
and foresight, put their savings in
reasonably safe investments. The
savings of these men and women carr
for them a great deal of money and
frequently they wake up to find
themselves rich. It is from the latter
class that come the most of our mil
lionaires.
The reason we have so few million
aires is that we have so few men and
women who have the courage to back
their judgment with their money.
The opportunity to make your money
work for you is being offered you by
the Birth of a Race Photoplay Cor
poration. Organized for the produc-
ton of a million-dollar picture to be
produced in association with the Selig
Polyscope Co. TheSelig Polyscope
Co., as you know, is one of the oldest
and largest film corporations in the
world. The "Million-Dolla Mystery
THE Crisis "The Spoilers" "The
Garden of Allah" all speak for the
Selig Polyscope Co. This great
twelve-reel photoplay, a whole even
ing's entertainment, is being produced
in the spirit of facts, not fiction,
sweetness not bitterness. 1t will por-
tray the days that were, the days that
are, and the days that are yet to be.
"The Birth of a Race" has for it's
theme race prejudice. The curse of
civilization-the thing which saps
energy, weakens efficiency and blocks
the way of progresses fostered preju-
dice, often blind and without reason
which frequently grows into hate
aye even into war and death-be-
tween races and nationalities. The
United States is a melting pot; into

ST. JAMES A. NJ. E. CHURCH.

The members and friends of the st.
James Baptist Church lost one of their
dearest members in the loss of Sister
Bessie Hatch. Rev. J. w. Wilson Of
ficiated, having baptized Sister Hatch
in 1900, at which time she became a
Christian worker. She was born in
Richmond, KY, July, 1877, came here
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Dun
an, soon after. Having lost both
brother and mother, she kept house
for her father. Although young, she
made sunshine in the home, at work
and at play. Soon after this she lost
her only brother, and at that time she
made up her mind to meet them, as
she became a baptized Christian be-
lever. She was married to Mr.. Wal
ter Hatch in 1903, was a true and
faithful wife and frightened the home
with her smiles. Once more death
came and bore away her father to his
eternal home. Sister Hatch died
July 10, 1917, leaving a devoted hus-
band, two dear sisters, three neices,
of whom Mrs. N. B. Cannon was the
favorite, five nephews to mourn her
loss. Mrs. L. G. Smith of this city
is a nephew. A letter of sympathy
and floral offerings were sent by Sis
ter Sadie McClain of Denver, Col.
Sister Lulu M. Boaz, in behalf of the
choir, and Sister Lizzie Smith, in be-
half of the Mission Circle, read reso-
lutions. Resolutions were also read
from the Sunday school, where she
was a loved teacher and treasurer for
a number of years, and from the Idle
wise Art Club, by Mrs. Lillard, where
she was chaplain. The obituary was
read by Mrs. Inez Wilson. The flowers
were profusely strewn oyetr her cas-
ket.
Sleep on dear Bessie, sleep
For in heaven we will meet
Around Gods dazzling throne
Where all the good has flown.
Sadly missed by pastor, members
and friends.
