SCREEN PLAY BASED
UPON ARMY TRAGEDY
"For Freedom of the World" In
spired by French Real
Life Drama
By the Photoplay Editor

Captain Edwin Bower Hesser. author OF
For the Freedom OF the World" the Vic
torias new film, partly made~at Betzwood
MONTGOMERY County. was in the American
Legion of the Canadian army when the
Ncenario film story was written. One OF the
main events in the plot came as an inspira-
tion from short newspaper squib reae by
brother officer one night In camp.
1T was strange" said Captain Hesser re-
eently, how II all started My commanding
Sofiicer, Lieutenant Colonel b. J. Mccormick.
20. c., 213th Battalion. American Legion,
shappehed to read a note in a newspaper to
1.-The effect that a French army officer had
killed his wife because she had persisted in
aeelng him at the front in violation Of the
order that no women were to be allowed to
see their husbands In the fire zone.
Major Fowler. second In command of our
battalion, was much stirred by the tragedy.
and a general discussion followed Finally,
.-colonel Mccormick. knowing me to be a
Lmovie director, said, Hesser. you ought to
make film out of that'-and l did.
''The story as written embraces a similar
Incident, and concerns also the thousands
G upon thousands of Americans who enlisted
= IN the Canadian army to fight the big night,
even before America entered the war.
II feel that It should set az rest for all
2 time the arguments regarding why we are
/ IN the war | want Il to show the American
e public that we are at war with people
whose brutality and barbarism, the result
, of their governmental system, is something
n that every one of us must hate and do our
hest to stamp out
'The picture is frankly an appeal to
young men to do their duty in the fighting
line and to old men to do their duty as well
by subscribing to Liberty Loans. The men
!. who are giving their lives are entitled to
support-they are giving their all. their
lives. Surely those who stay at home can
do as much. Their duty is plain. 1 wish
that the next loan committee would put an
information table in the theatres wherever
my picture is shown. I think that results
would warrant the step"

sumns on Democratic Loas

We are not quite agreed among ourselves, or do not quite understand what constitutes a democ- raey. We reminded of this the other day by an article in usually sound and well informed journal in which the uselessness of kaisers czars emperors and kings was pointed out and there was a sugges- tion that when these supernumeraries were done away with. there would be a worldwide democracy. It further stated that these rulers were ncum- brances upon the productive energies of the nations over which they preside, and that they had no real claim upon sustenance and support.
 With all that agree. It has seemed to us for long time that king who nomnally ruled in a democratic country like England was an absurdity czar of Russia emperor of Germany was not absurd but he a serious anomaly of joint with advanced stage of civilization.
 king in democratic country is no more of an absurdy than the titular distinctions which prevail in democratic Great Britain and republican France In the latter, they are not quite marked dstinc tons. They have official recognition They are rather harmless but out of place. In Great Britain these distinctions have political recognition Mem bers born into the law-making power the House Lords just kings born to the throne. In Great Britain part of the nobility is related, nearly or remotely to the reignng house The nobility holds vast estates some of which have descended from fav- orites of the Norman and some of which have been gifts or grants of later kings who had claim them any mere than the useless kings of today have a right to their thrones the royal properties
 There estates in France whose owners are descendants of those to whom the kings of France centuries ago gave them. In the Revolution an at tempt made to the owners of these estates from them. with the thoroughness with which royal and arstocratc heads severed from royal and arstocratic shoulders, but at a later period the properties restored the families which they had been held.
 The point making is that titles to these states, wherever they may be- better or stronger than the claims which the Guelphs the Hohenzollerns and the Romanoffs have upon their thrones and royal properties All the titles regal noble, proceed from precisely the sources and if We declare one invalid, all invalid. Exceptions are to be made of course of which have not been of royal gift, though held by persons noble birth whose titles at time granted for merit There have been many such and though the titles under the rule which applying to the crowned heads would vanish the properties would remain undisturbed.
 That tituar distinctions inconsistent with the American nation of a democracy is no new thing They were forbidden when set up our government

the engineering department of the railroad commits sion.
 When reports containing recommendations have been completed and approved" MT Thelen, they sent the public authorities and to the rail- roads affected. If any recommendation is not ap- proved if objection is made, such recommendation is reconsidered by the engineering department of the railroad commission If the department is still of the opinion that the should be carried suggested, the matter is set for formal hearing by the commission it's motion. whereupon the commission makes such formel order as seems ap- propriate."
 While it is recognized that eventually grade sep arations be made all important crossings the immediate work directed the end of making every crossing open the view and free from obstruc tons possible that drivers of vehicles will have ample opportunity to know that they approaching railroad crossings and to approaching trains.
 The cost to the railroad commission to date, incud ing the preliminary work which will be spread the state wide investigation has been approximately s2 40 per crossing
 AS to the probable result of this work upon the reduction of accidents MT Thelen says:
 "The railroad commission is satisfied that when the number of movements made railroad ings is taken into consderationand this of is the final test-the percentage of movements made railroad crossings in California in safety will be found to be much larger than it would have been had this investigation not been undertaken by the commission"
 The survey will be extended to every crossing in the state. Whatever be done to make the exist ing crossings safe will be done. Gradually the ings where separation of grades should be affected will be considered in separate proceedings, contribu tons by the and other public authorities will be a1,a1a alr, inaton of all dangerous grade crossings

The Grade Crossing Problem

California is solving the grade crossing problem With about 10000 grade crossings the state 75O0 Of them on railroads reporting to the interstate merce commission, and with conditions as to incl dents which the state railroad commission says are worse than in any other state in the unon the prob- lem is not simple On the low estimate s3O 900 as the cost crossing for the separation grades the commission recognized that neither the railroads the state could stand the expense of sS0,o00,000 which their complete elimination would involve It admitted at the outset that any movement to separate all grade crossings in the state tirely out of the question, since low estimate above given the expense would amount to an annual per capita tax of $500 upon the people
 The steps that have been taken to remove the dangers of grade crossings, pending the ultimate moval of the more dangerous crossings themselves are described in the issue of the Railway Age Gazette in article by Max Theen president of the California railroad commission. The plan inaug- urated year by the publication wide dstri- button of program in which the commission outlined it's plan for complete survey the grade cross- ings in the state. The work assisted by the rail- ways. city, town and county officials and automobile associations. Up to January l. 1917, about 1000 crossings had been inspected and reported upon by
