FOREIGN SUM MARY

The final occupation of the Rhine
provinces Of Germany are complete
by the Allies. Belgians and Ameri-
cans followed the French in pressing
forward to the river on their sectors
and the British closed up yesterday.
Goodness, but an apparent friendli-
ness characterizes the people where
American troops are. In other Sec
tors the feeling does not seem to be
quite so good, but the Allies are TAX
ing no chances and maintain a strict
discipline of the inhabitants. No com
plants have reached headquarters
and the Americans are commended by
German officers for their courtesy and
care.
Rioting reported in Berlin and the
Liebknecht Reds reported holding
part of the city. In other parts OF
Germany the situation is more quiet.
Food does not seem to be very scarce
in Germany, but commands a high
price. The poorer classes are the

peace delegation will meet at French
headquarters soon to consider extern
sion of the armistice time.
Metz welcomes with enthusiastic
clamor the visit of President Poincare
and the leading generals in their for
NAL entry into the city and taking
possession of Lorraine in the name Of
France. General Pershing received
with great acclaim as a guest Of the
president. The French have estab-
lished a headquarters in Berlin, UNI
der command Of a general, for the
transport and repatriation Of French
prisoners.
Schleswig-Holstein has announced
itself as a republic and the former
Russian province Of Esthonia has
been recognized as a republic in Eu-
rope.
A desire to hold William Hohenzol-
lern as only the tool Of the military
party in Germany, is evinced by some
OF the German socialists. Harden
and S%cheideman say that he is not to
blame, being weak and Influenced.
This propaganda does not seem to be
meeting with much encouragement.

Prof. N. F.. Hansen recommends
Municipal aid for the movies:
The trouble with the movies IL
Brookings Is that the present patron
age is not always regular or large
enough to insure the best pictures
coming to Brookings. At various
times in the past l have attended the
moving picture theaters in Brookings
and have been pleased with the splen-
did pictures shown, but the attend
ance was SO meager that 1t could not
have been otherwise than a loss to
the managers. If the entire financial
responsibility Is placed upon the movie
men you cannot blame them for play
ing safe when it comes to securing the
attractions of the highest grade. The
only solution | see for the trouble in
a town the size of Bookings is to
"socialize the movies" so as to make
up the difference in cost between the
highest grade and those lower down.
The keenest psychologists in America
recognize in motion pictures one OF the
most important sources Of popular ed
ucation in the world at the present
time. In recognition of this fact, ed
ucational films have been prepared
which every child should see. Some
wonderful pictures giving the history
of the United States and the world
are obtainable. l have seen some of
the great events of the Old Testament
in pictures that every church member
can see as it visualizes reverently the
life of that great era. Public senti-
ment should support the idea that at
regular intervals, perhaps twice a
week, our school board should buy
out the house and have a late after
noon matinee for school children only,
without charging admission. The city
could well afford this as a part of the
childrens' education. On the other
hand, most evenings children below
a certain age should be excluded as
their place is in bed to get rest for
the next days school work. Further
more, many films are not designed fol
children. Certain nights in the week
should be given to the more expensive
films, approved by the best authorities

tests were talked over at the Minis
terial meeting on Monday morning
and it was decided to call a meeting
for that afternoon of representatives
of the college, the public schools, the
Y. M. c. A., the Y. w. c. A., the Won
ans organizations and the mayor, to
meet with the ministers and the man.
ayers of the moving picture theatres
to get at the facts of the situation n
to see what could be done.
The meeting was held and was
marked throughout by a good spirit.
Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Hanson, the man
ayers of the Pleasant Hour theatre
kindly consented to run the show
through that afternoon for the benefit
Of the committee which had been APP
pointed. 1t was thought that parts
might be cut out and the show held
Just the same, but it soon became ap-
parent that the picture was rotten
right straight through. 1t certainly
shows the weakness Of our National
Board Of Censorship, for it had been
passed by them, and the local manag-
ers naturally have to trust to their de
cisi0n as they can not see the picture
before it appears on their own screen.
1t might be assumed that Mr.. Muir
ply and Mr.. Hanson were forced to
close their theatre and that they could
not be trusted in the future to have
good pictures on their screens. That
is not the case. They both showed
a fine spirit of cooperation, and were
mighty reasonable about it. The COM
mittee promised to see hat they were
reimbursed for the expense which they
had already been under.
The whole incident seemed to show
the need for some sort OF local CO.
operation in the movie business. One
must recognize that the influence Of
the movie is far greater today in
American life than of any other one
Recognizing this fact and with the
approval and support Of the local
managers, a moving picture commit
has been appointed to help in
every way to bring better movies to
Bookings. The managers nave a just
cause for complaint in the fact that
when they do make a special effort
to bring an exceptionally good picture
to town they receive mighty little sup
port from the people of the communi-
ty who are interested in better pic
The following are members Of the
moving picture committee: Paul Rob-
erts, chairman; DR.. e. V. Pierce, Mrs.
J. A. Bonell, Miss Gerlach, Mr.. Phillips,
Miss Keith and Superintendent Har-
gis.. This committee may do much
and it may amount to nothing. A good
deal of it's success rests with those
who care about having good pictures
for the young folk of Brookings to
see. Paul Roberts.
