A WONDERFUL PHGTOPLAY.

was Metres great S-act special pro-
duction of Lest We Forget" a mighty
arraignment Of the Germans, starring
beautiful Rite Toivet. daughter OF
Flance. and a survivor Of the Lusi-
tania disaster to whom that we'll be-
loved American, Charles Frohman
spoke his last immortal words, why
fear death? Death IS the most beau
tiful adventure CT life" The picture
provides mighty panorama of events
connected with the opening days OF the
war. and ::1llow its progress through
the latter thrilling months.
Lest We Forget" shows far more
of actual events, abroad during the
great struggls Of decency against
barbarism than any one person
whether combatant or non-comoatant.
could possibly see. BESIDES being a
great love story, it IS valuable
chronicle of the war.
After America enters the struggle.
and in the reconstructed towns OF
France. little children learn the les
sons of the war, and to revere the
name of Wilson. They recount
Frances ravaged cathedrals,--the ex-
lied Belgians, the treaty of Brussels,

school houses. These evidences OF the
nature of The Hun must be kept IN

eWORK OR FIGHT"

Conscientious objectors," such as have been known in Arizona in con- siderable number, will not be permit ted to evade service to the nation in some capacity. Such persons are be- ing taken from the army camps to a special cantonment at Fort Leaven- worth, where they will be compelled tc do work of non-combatant charac- ter. They will be held to this service as privates of infantry, with the pay of that grade, even if they are sent to work on farms, where they will be under the supervision of represen- tatives of the war department. They will not be permitted to take the rela- lively high pay of farm-hands, known at the present time. The war depart ment will respect rights of individual "but in justice to the sol diers who risk their lives in defense of the right, men refusing to perform any service whatever cannot expect to avoid the responsibility for such at titude, much less expect to receive any privileges not accorded to others"

SORRY FOR MIR. HAYS

Only men who are abnormally envl- ous can envy MT. Hays, chairman Of the Republican National committee He evidently feels the awkwardness of his position. He is evidently do- ing his best to hide his feelings. That he does not succeed is not altogether his fault. He tries hard, in an inter view published on Sunday by the New York Times, to reconcile q desire for Republican success in the congres- sional elections this autumn with a conviction that now, more than in or dinary times, country must reach above party. Yet in spite of his et- forts he cannot keep from saving things like this: Every Republican vote cast is another nail in the kais- CTS coffin; every Republican congress man elected smother stone piled on his tomb" This does not mean any thing unless it means that Germany will take heart if the Democrats do well at the polls next autumn. Does Mir. Hays really believe such rubbish !! Or did he just say it, without belleV- ing it? Any way you take him you cannot help being sorry for MT. Hays The New Republic.

THE SOULS OF CORPORATIONS

There is an old axiom of English law that corporations have no souls. The manner in which thousands of corporations have given their services and their means to the Liberty Loan, to the Red Cross, and to the Y. M. C.. A.. and to other national efforts dur ing this war seems to disprove the truth of the saying.
 The congress of the United States seems to have adopted the view that a corporation may have a soul, since it has authorized national banks to contribute to the American National Red Cross out of any net profits avail able under the law for the declaration of dividends. The law further pro vides that funds so contributed shall be used by the Red Cross in furnish ing voluntary aid to the sick and wounded of the cambatant armies, the voluntary relief of the army and navy of the United States, and the relief Of the suffering caused by the war to the people of the United States and thelr allied nations.
