KAISER EXPOSED
Historical Fact And Hoped For
Fancy Convincingly Mingled
In The Kaiser, the Beast of
Berlin"

With never a word spoken, q pow
erful patriotic appeal is going to be
heard at the Liberty Theater this
week. Hamlet says, "Murder. though
it have no tongue, will speak with
most miraculous organ" and so
speaks the motion picture story,
1.-The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin"
In the past, film shows, too often,
in their stories merely have limited
at the menace of Pruss;an autocracy
to the world. They obviously have
meant Germany as the sinister plot
ting nation fostering that menace,
but they have merely alluded to its
steel helmeted invaders as being SOL
diers of a certain foreign power. THE
Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin" does
not hesitate to call a Hun Hun.
There are big scenes splendid in their
action and wonderfully realistic. The
photography itself is far above the
average, and the acting Of the high
est order.
The story of 1.-The Kaiser" for the
most part, is historically accurate.
1t first shows Belgium before August
l, 1914, land of peace and happi-
ness. Then the scenes soon shift to
the Palace of Potsdam, where the
kaiser, strikingly portrayed, is dis
covered in all his cunning hatred and
cruelty surrounded by his fawning
ministers and aids. plotting his cam
paign for world domination. The
map of Europe is shown and before

to Paris-through neutral Belgium.

it stands the kaiser pointing the road
to Paris-through neutral Belgium.
There follows his campaign of ter
ror. Louvain Is laid to waste, it's
women seized and the men who strive
to rescue them are not even given a
chance to fight, but often shot in the
back by Prussian soldiers. That is
story the world has learned all too
we'll. so the scene shifts again.
1.-The Lusitania" is flashed on the
screen in big letters. The audience
sits up a bit more expectantly, but
the actual sinking of the great liner
is not shown. However, the heart
rending tragedy is again driven home
most wildly. The captain of the T.
boat that destroyed the Lusitania is
shown being decorated by the kaiser.
Plainly this young naval officer al
ready is half distracted by the mon
strosity of his own deed. Won Tir-
pitt, chief sponsor for the submarine

can be no blood upon the hand of the
man who obeys his sovereign" he
tells the captain. But-"There is the
blood of many women and little chill
dren," the U-boat's commander re-
plies in his agony. Finally he re-
turns home and. being greeted by his
wife and own little ones, he goes
mad from contemplation Of his
wholesale murder by drowning of so
many mothers and babes.
Gerard, in a most realistic scene,
tells the kaiser that the continued
placing OF Americans in jeopardy on
the high seas will be looked upon by
the United States as being "deliber-
ately unfriendly' on the part OF Ger
many, and the climax of the picture
soon follows.
II shall stand no nonsense from
America after this war" the kaiser
tells Mr.. Gerard.
The American Ambassador looks at
him in amazement. then is seen to
glance down at his own coat lapel
where a small American flag is pin
ned The significance of that glance
is brought out In a few scenes late,
where President Wilson and his cab
met are seen signing the declaration
of war. Then thousands and thou

Let's Save All the Time.

From the Progressive Farmerl
Now is the time to get the saving

other crops in proportion, as was the

tried your best to save, and yet have
accomplished practically nothing. Now

worth doing not merely for the mate
rial advantage it will bring. but as Il
neral exercise. an exercise in charac
ter building Every time you resist Il
temptation or inclination to spend for
an unwiSe or unworthy purpose. you
have strengthened your character. it
is mental and moral discipline, 1t was
John ploughman said: Learn to say
No. 1t will be of more use to you than
to be able to read Latin" No parent
should think he has properly trained Il
child until he has taught that child to
save money. For the reason first NEIL
toned. it is one of the fundamental
moral virtues as well as Indispensable
to financial success.
No matter whether you are able to
save much or not. if you save what you
can. you will almost surely be indie
pendent eventually. We recently heard
of Il man and his wife who agreed
when married that they would save
every 1O-cent piece they got, whether
in payment for something or in making
change, and this simple eXpedient has
resulted in piling up Il surprising and
satisfactory bank account. As an Ital-
ian workman once said: :" | make 81

have nothing make 81 day and
spend 30 cents: sometime have some
thing" There is the secret.
