"HEARTS OF THE WORLD"

The announcement made by the Au
ditorium management that Hearts of
the World" d. w. Griffith's gripping
war romance will be run here is most
acceptable.
The latest Griffith masterpiece is
something more than sensational
moving picture: it contains the most
stirring appeal to patriotic hearts that
has yet been addressed to the Ameri-
can people in any form. One cannot
watch this film unfold its wonderful
message upon the screen. and hear
the exQuisitely selected musical ac-
companiements without feeling an Ov-
erwhelming conflict of emotions with
in his own soul. The picture does
something more than simply bring the
war close home; it strikes fire in the
heart of the spectator shames him OF
his shortcomings and impels him to
the high resolve that hencefOrth, so
long as the war shall last, his one aim
will be to size up to his obligations as
a participant in the great struggle.
And when one leaves the theater, al
though this strange appeal to his pas
sions has caused his blood to alter
nately run warm and run cold, he is
a better citizen because of what he
has seen.
The picture beggars description.
One must see it to even gain a faint
appreciation of the soul-stirring ex-
periences that are coming to our
friends across the sea. The wonder
is that the government does not buy
the rights to the picture outright, and
arrange to show it free of cost, or at
such a price so that every boy and
girl, and man and woman throughout
the land could see it and feel its sin
gular appeal.

CONCENTRATION OF AMERICANS
MAY MEAN NEW DRIVE
General Pershing Now Has Under His
Direct Command More Than Ninety
Percent OF Americans Overseas.

Concentration of American troops in
the American sectors in France is
proceeding rapidly and General Per-
shing now has under his direct COM
mand more than 80 per cent of the
troops who have reached the other
side. This was revealed Saturday by
General March, chief of staff
General March made no comment
as to the purpose of this concentration
and said nothing that might indicate
the probability of an all-American
drive. He did say the custom of bri-
gading new divisions with the French
and English forces to hasten their
preparation for front line duty had not
been abandoned.
But as our men go over there now
pretty well instructed" he added, "the
Ntime they stay in the training camps
bver there is very much less"
( General March announced also that
the 9th division, previously training
behind the British lines, is now on the
line in Flanders. This was interpret
ed to mean that the division soon
would be withdrawn to join Pershing's S
army.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

To the Children of Power County:
Poison gas was one of the first
fruits of Kultur. 1t stings, blinds and

(b) Apricot pits.
(c) Plum pits.
I'D Cherry pits.
(e) Prune pits.
~ Hickory nuts.

(h) Shells of these nuts.
Dry the pits thoroughly in the sun
and bring them or send them to my

Sixteen men held in Fresno and
Sacramento jails on federal warrants,
will be charged with responsibility
for the wheat field fires in South Da-
kota and big lumber mill fires in
Washington and Oregon, together with
scores of fires in the San Joaquin, CALI
valley, extending over a period of
nearly two years, it was announced
Monday by Sidney ]. Shannon. deputy
United States marshal in Fresno.
Shannon has been conducting an in
vestigation for more than year and
a half and made all the arrests. He
also seized two laboratories, which he
said. the men established for the man
ufacture of incendiary devices. Both
of these we're in California.
Nearly S10O000,000 worth of prop
erty has been destroyed in the past
two years by these men, Shannon
said, and added that he had obtained
evidence to show that their program
this year called for the destruction of
about s3O,0OO,OOO worth of property.
The losses they are responsible for
to date on this years program, he
said, amounts to about $5,0OO,OOO
The men under arrest are the
leaders, he said, and were personally
responsible for practically all the
fires. He also asserted that they were
all members of the l. w. w.
Evidence concerning a state wide
arsen plot, said to have resulted in
damage estimated at $5,O00,0OO to in
dustrial plants in California, has been
presented to the United States grand
jury, according to Robert Duncan, at
torney representing the department OF
Justice. Thirteen Industrial Work
ers of the World, alleged to be impli-
Gated in the plot, are held in custody
The arson campaign was a part OF
the general conspiracy of Industrial
Workers of the World to obstruct the
governments war activities and des-
troy food" Duncan said Monday
Our investigation has extended to
fires in California as far back as 1916
but it has concerned chiefly big fires
that have occurred since early in 1917
and more particularly the fires in
Fresno and Hanford."

London Sees Signs Germans Are De-
MOralized.

Public interest in London is equally
divided between the unbroken advance
of the allied armies and the apparent
signs that the German people are in a
state of nervous anxiety bordering on
Generalization.
More editorial space is being given
to future events than the retreat of
the German army The belief that
something like a panic has seized the.
German pOpulace is not based upon
stories from neutral sources. but up
on the utterances of the leaders i'm
the German nation and the appeals of
German newspapers to the public to,
keep its head, while they themselves
admit the seriousness of the military
situation.
The emperor's bold vein of assur-
ance. Chancellor Won Hertling's fran
chise speech. General LiDsingen's
stringent order, and, above all, Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg's proclama-
tion are cited as manifest efforts to-
check the decay of the German spirit.

General March Tells OF Progress OF
Allies From Arras to Rhiems.


In his review of the battle situa-

Cambria sector 10 Rheims with.
French, British and Americans in
close pursuit Official reports show
that the enemy now is 60 miles from
Paris at the closest point, General
March said, while the old Hindenburg
line stands at the point of a maximum
distance only 10 miles beyond the
present active front. - y
The pressure which forced this re-
treat" General March said, came at
two points; the British front between
Arras and Perrone and the Franco
American sector on the plateau Of.
SOissons."
Reviewing the progress in each Sec
tor, General March said the British
thrust toward Cambria had paused
along the line of the Sensee marshes
and the Canal du Nord with Cambraf
only seven miles away and no natural
obstacles impeding the road to that
objective. In the meantime. however.
the British crossed the canal farther
south and swept forward Friday and
Saturday toward the Hindenburg line.

Of the thrust by the French and
American forces General March said
The FrancO-American drive across
the plateau north of scissors directed
against the flank of the Chemln-des--
Danes, after week of severe fight
ing, forced the enemy to fall back
without further resistance from the
Vesle. Our allied forces crossed the

Aisne river on a 1O-mile front last
night"
