len won the matched ace last

by DR.. Mack was the favorite before
the race and was conceded an easy
winner but the Allen horse fooled

The Fourth Liberty Loan

The campaign for the F our h
Liberty Loan begins September %,
and closes October 10. While the
amount has not yet been announced,
it is generally conceded it will be
for larger amount than any of the
preceding o ans. T h e American
people, therefore, are called upon
to raise larger sum of money in a
shorter length of time than ever be-
fore. There is need, therefore, for
prompt action-prompt and efficient
work and prompt and liberal sub
scriptions.
We have great inspiration for a
great effort. The news FIR m the
battle front inspires every American
heart, not only with pride and pat
riotism but with a great incentive
to do his or her part. There is no
Sinking, no shifting of the individ-
ual burden, no selfshness by Ameri.
can soldiers in France; there should
be none here. We are both sup
porting the same country and the
same country and the same cause
our Army in one way, ourselves in
another. Theirs is the harder part,
but at least we can do our part as
promptly and Loyalty and efficiently
as they do theirs.

The Railroad Administration

Director General McAdoo has is.
sued circular to all employees of
the railway lines operated by h e
Government in which he enjoins up
on them in emphatic terms the poll
cy of courtesy and efficiency. He
announces that the policy of h e
Railroad Administration is exactly
the reverse of the policy known as
the public be damned" policy. !
He states that the fact that h e
United States is running the rail-
roads is not an excuse or justi6ca-
tion for the shortcoming of either
the employees or the Railroad Ad-
ministratlon. THE people have ac-
copied cheerfully and periodically
the burden of increased railroad
fares that war conditions have i'm
posed upon them, part of which is
due to the increased expenditures
caused by the raise in the wages of
the railroad employees" says the
Director General, land the least
that the railroad employees can do
in return is to serve the bile
faithfully, courteously, and efficient

Railroads are just as much public
servants under Government admins
tration as u n d e private control.
The change of management was
made for the purpose of making the
railroads more efficient servants of
the people, more especially in the
great \. ork of winning the war. The
leia ion of the railroads and the
raj al Employees to the public,
therefo4e, is unchanged except that
patriotism to their country as we'll
as loyalty to their employer should
actuate the railroad employee.
Troop Transportation
The Director General has also is
sued a statement to the public re-

We're With You, Woodrow Will
son, a Hundred Million Strong

Any audience which can see ''The
Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin and
not get mad is not an American au-
dience.
We're with you, Woodrow Will
son, hundred million strong"
Any audience which can see that
title flashed on the screen, as it is
in 1.-The Kaiser, the Beast of Ber-
lin" in the particularly appropriate
place where it appears, and not lit
orally go off it's nut with excitement,
is pretty hard audience to en-
thuse. Millions of people through
out the United States have joined
in thunderous rounds of applause
at this point in the part fancy and
part fact story of the kaiser as he
really is. Hundreds will certainly
do the same thing at the Princess
theatre when the picture is shown
there on Sept. 10 and II, afternoons
and evenings, afternoons 15c and
Csc and evenings Csc and 35c. War
Tax extra.
All the madness of the war. crazed
mind of the kaiser, all the vicious
ness of the crimes perpetrated in
his name and under his orders, are
shown in this picture with a vivid
ness at once horrible and thrilling.
The sacking of Louvain is repro
duced with infinite attention to de-
tail, Immediately after the first
scenes of the film showing Belgium
in times of peace.
The decoration of the commander
of the U-boat which sank the Lusi-
tania is shown and he is later
shown as insane, seeking out the
cowardice in the heart of the kaiser
when he describes to him how the
hands of drowning children are
reaching for him constantly.
The visit of Ambassador Gerard
to the kaiser when the kaiser told
him that Germany would stand no
nonsense from America after the
war, brought vigorous applause.
Mr.. Gerard is depicted as smiling
and bowling when the kaiser makes
the statement, and, as he bows,
h touches the tiny metal flag
in his coat lapel and smiles.
The downfall of Berlin and i'm
prisonment of the kaiser closes the
picture, through which runs a small
tragic story of the love of a young
Belgian girl, the destruction of her
home and the death of her fance. |
Rupert Julian takes the leading role
as the kaiser.
There have been strong men"
and strong men" in moving pic
lures, but when Rupert Julian set
out to find an actor to play the part
of the blacksmith, Marcas, in "The
Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin, he stop
ped with nothing less than Hercu-
les.
Elmo Lincoln, who takes the role,
is not abnormally tall or bulky; but
the muscles of his shoulders and
chest stand out like rivets of steel
and when he wraps that good right
arm around the neck of a German
officer and slowly squeezes him to
death, you are reminded of nothing
so much as some giant python
strangling it's prey.

an armistice be suggested, their &C
ceptance. by Germany will afford the
best concrete evidence OF her unequi-
vocal acceptance of the terms and on
ditions of peace.
He says that having received the
solemn and explicit assurance of Ger
many that it unreservedly accepts the
terms of peace and the principles
enunciated by him and that the desire
to discuss details OF their application
animated not from those who hitherto
i, dictated the German policy, but from
the ministers speaking for an over
whelming majority of the Gern1an
people, and having received explicit
promise that the humane rules of civ
ilized warfare will be observed, the
president feels that he cannot decline
to take up questions of an armistice
with the allies.
He reiterated that the nations OF
the world do not, cannot, trust the
word of those who hitherto have been
masters Of the German policy and
gives warning that if the United
States must deal with the military
masters and monarchial autocrats OF
Germany, now or later, he must de-
mand not peace by negotiations but by
surrender.
How the note will be received by
people OF the allied countries will be
awaited with greatest interest
So far as the allied governments are
concerned. it is assumed that they
have been informed and are entirely
in accord with the eliminating step IN
the Presidents policy.
