Many Absorbing Questions Are Raised by "The PnWer nf necisinnN

"The Power of Decision" the 5- part photopdrama starring beauti- ful Frances Nelson, which will be seen at the Coliseum theatre tonight is play of great mental and moral stimulus.
 The central idea of the play is that Every mortal has within him self the Godgiven power of decis- ion.' Margot, the artists model, who marries a famous author, is called upon to exercise this power amid circumstances which would puzzle wiser head than that of this girl.
 "The Power of Decision" raises many important questions which cannot help being of the deepest in terest to motion picture patrons Among them are: Has a woman a right to marry man she does not love?" "Can she love a man she does not respect?'' (Which will last the longer, blind love or an esteem based on nobility of character?' Will not an honest decision strengthen the moral fibre for good and all?"
 These problems confront Margot, the heroine of ''The Power of De- cision," and she is forced to face the alternative of finding an answer for them in her own life or of drift ing aimlessly, without definite pur- pose. Her choice is wise one, and Margot's moral awakening as told in this convincing photoplay, is of tremendous value and compelling interest

| the pit of Kilrain's stomach. Then John L. jumped upon the chest of Kilrain for good measure
 Kilrain made protests against Sul- livans rough tactics but the referee, who had not paid any attention to Kilrain's fouling, evened up matters by ignoring the claims of Fighting Jake"
 The whirlwind pace at which the men travelled in the early fighting wearied them. After the 30th round they began to slow down. Along in the big champion was near collapse from the heat. But gamely he an swered the call of time" for the next period of fighting and founder ed through but continued on the de- fensive until the attack of maj de mer had gone.
 Along about the 10th Kilrain, then even wearier and more battered than Sullivan, wanted to call off the fight and have it declared draw. But Sullivan refused.
 This fight was to be a finish--and it's going to be-" beloved John l..
 Along about the 5th round the hands of both men were in fearful condition. But they fought on And it became obvious that the superior condition of Sullivan would be the deciding factor He was weary in arms, in legs and in body, but Kill rain was more so.
 Kilrain decided to play the FstalP game through the fifties and sixties. So round after round he came from his corner, got within striking dis tance of Sullivan and then went down before John l.. could hit him solidly Under the rules every knock down constituted a round. Immed- lately after each feigned knockdown Kilrain would go to his corner and rest for thirty seconds as the rules provided. Then he would repeat the performance in the next round.
 Along about the Fist round Xiii rains condition, due to the beating which Sullivan had given him and made worse by the fearful heat, be- came pitiful Even the "stalling" had not helped him much. At the end of the 18th round Kilrain. almost at the point of exhaustion, had to be carried to his corner and supported in his chair and the end was in sight.
 With the bang of the gong in the 76th round Sullivan came from his corner and toed scratch" but the packers of Kilrain took final look at their man and tossed in the sponge.
 It was the token of Kilrain's de- feat and John LIS victory in the last bare knuckle championship fight in the United States.
 And. when all is said and done. that triumph over Kilrain stands out as perhaps the greatest in the en- tnre career of the great champion.

NCOHJlnueu ITOIH eSleTQdyJ Under a blistering summer sur and with the thermometer register ing beyond 100-such were the weath CT conditions when John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain fought their never O-beforgotten bare knuckle battle on July 8, 1889. The bout was stag ed in Richburg. Miss. in a seques
 tered spot far removed from police
 interference.
 Both fighters started off at toI
 speed with the first call of time
 The big champion, smarting under
 the taunts of Kilrain and his sup
 porters, was rushing fury. Backed by the new found strength that had come from training under Billy Null doon's orders, the big Bostonian went at Kilran like an avalanche, hoping to crush Fighting Jake" by the sheer force of his attack But Kill rain made it give-and-take affair
 Realizing that this was perhaps the only chance he would ever have to win the championship and all the gold that comes to prize ring Wal rior, Kilrain fought as never before in his career. Rarely did he ba K from the Sullivan onslaughts during the early rounds and the battle re- solved itself into merciless slug ging match. TOe-to-toe those giants stood, smashing away at each other with all power in their massive frames.
 After a time, Sullivan's superiority IS ringman began to show. And then Kilrain, in desperation, resort ed to foul ring tactics. He roughed Sullivan whenever the chance came i; he hit low and it is said he attempt ed gouging tactics in clinches. When those tricks failed to stop the cham pion, Kilrain went farther-to the extreme limit of foul ring work in that era. He used his spikes!
 Under London Prize Ring rules, when battles were staged on the turf, a fighter was permitted to wear pplhcS uHucT lHc Ddll Ol HIS lecI. That was merely to protect him from slipping on the turf. To use them in gashing an opponent was considered the foulest ring tricks Jake Kilrain, unable to stem the furious attack of John L. Sullivan by any other means, used those spikes to rip the legs of the champion. And he made ghastly job of it.
 In almost every elinch Kilrain would lift his foot, jam the spikes into Sullivans legs and then rip. Soon the legs of Sullivan were trans formed into a cut and bleeding mass. with the flesh hanging down in sliv- CTS. And the turf on which the ring was stretched became a red and sog- gy mass.
 For time John L. submitted to Kilrain's foul work without retailia- tion But at last John L., protested to the referee who paid no attention to him. Then John L. decided to do a little rough work himself. Three times in succession. after he had beaten KiIrain to the turf, John L., jumped on his prostrate foe. going down with his knees sinking into

The other day George wrote letter
in which he gave his views on the
food question as follows:
Dear Mr.. Wilson:
'T want to ask you IL you would
write letter to every farmer to send
his potatoes to this country and so
we can send them to other countries
and let the soldiers and starving Peo-
pie have some baked or boiled po-

Farmers send all their wheat and

want some to live on don't they? We
must eat corn-fiakes Homenee caned-

and that Is what we must save. Did
you know that there were many
