the eight reels or this picture more
sensational scenes than are possible
on the legitimate stage.
The film is in the nature of an ex-
position of and a warning against the
activities OF enemy secret agents
operating in this country. In this re
gard, il is a good piece of propaganda.
The story is that OF an American who
through financial troubles is lured
Into the German secret service. The

trapped by the enemy agents, and
tricked into stealing from her husband
the sealed orders which are delivered
to him by the assistant secretary OF
the navy. when the loss of the papers

face ruin. The recovery of the orders
before they can be read by the Ger

the thrilling scenes which the picture
includes are those showing a hand-to-

Editorial

The prettiest flowers are al
ways along the by-paths, of the
trodden ro1d. The most charm
ing people are never to be found
along the highway of life.
They're of by the side of the
road. The most interesting au-
tomobiling is never along the
unbroken smoothness of a fine
boulevard. It's along the coun-
try road where one never
knows what the next hill or the
next bend will bring to view.
In other words, to find those
things that are worth while, one
must get away from the beaten
path. One must get out of the
rut.
This is equally true Of store
keeping. Very often the most
attractive merchandise is found
outside what is commonly call
ed the wholesale district in a
great city. That's why our
buyers spend so much time in
the market searching out these
hidden treasures.

AMERICAS NEXT DUTY

A war, the magnitude and death
toll of which make all the balance
of the wars ever fought pale into in
significance, has come to an end.
Peace reigns once more.
1t was war in which was demon
strated that might shall not reign
over right; one in which was for
ever proven that the divine right"
of kings and royalty shall not crush
liberty beneath its heel. The kaiser
has fallen, and with him topples the
old form Of autocracy-the old re-
gime-and the people rule, or will.
II Herr Ebert, Scheidmann, Harden,
Dittman and Liebknecht, with the
aid Of other socialists can bring or
der out of chaos. But should they
fail in their aims, others will take
up the burden.
William Hohenzollern has gone
down in history as the greatest
wholesale murderer the world has
ever produced. AS result Of his
ambitions, possibly ten million lives
have been sacrificed and sorrow has
descended upon the earth as never
before-the price of freedom in Eu-
rope.
America has played a great part
in the war, and now it is her duty.
as well as her privilege, to play a
greater part in establishing law and
order in the demoralized countries,
including Russia, the helpless giant.
Americas future greatness de-
pends upon the quality and sum to-
tai of effective service she renders
the world in the great reconstruction
era now to begin. Trouble will be
encountered, riots will occur, and
many may yet lose their lives through
violence, but as the dawn Of peace
brightens the horizon and black war
clouds roll away, the rays Of hu-
man kindness will descend upon war
torn Europe and hearten and inspire
the remnant Of those families whose
sufferings words cannot portray.
1t is up to America to furnish
most Of these rays of human kind
ness to the peoples across the ocean
to help tighten their burdens.

what assurance that their authority
will abide and sustain securely the
international arrangements into
which we are about to enter? There

and misgiving. When peace Is made,
