SEIZED STEAMERS LOANED Bl
UNITED STATES,
Used In Producing the Great Screen
Spectacle "Lcst We Forget

The Martha Washington, one Of
the German ships which was seized
by the Government at the opening
of .hostilities with Germany, was used
for the staging of scenes in Metros
great screen spectacle Lest We Fer
get" starring Rita Jolivet, which
comes to the Parkview Theatre on
Friday and Saturday, April 10 and
20. The Martha Washington is one
of the largest vessels taken over and
renamed by theJnited States.
Owing to the prevalence OF spies
and mischief makers Of all sorts, WIS.,
itors were excluded from the alien
ships interned in the port, but in the
case OF Miss Jolivet, the Government
lifted the ban. as Lest We Forget
is a vivid screen presentation Of the
causes contributing to the American
entry into the war.
This leviathian was used for the
staging OF scenes showing the panic
Of the passengers on the Inflated
Lusitania, the sinking of which forms
one Of the impressive spectacular
features in this wonderful picture
In picturing the disaster, the icy
waters Of New York Bay provided a
realistic setting for the scenes show
ing the escape of passengers from
the sinking ship. At one time there
were two hundred people founder
ing about in the water before the
battery of cameras A host of ex-
pert swimmers was engaged to swim
in these water scenes. Many sensa-
tional and thrilling scenes OF realism
we're staged on the borrowed liner.

..t,O TO WORK OR GO TO JAIL"

"The best way to draft farm
labor" Assistant Secretary OF Agri-
rnlture Clarence Ousley said not long
aro in an address before the Texas
legislature, lis TO ryou to amend
your vagrancy laws so as to include
vithin it's terms every able-bodied
man who does not do six days work
each week as rule"
In many States Of the Union, eth
q by State legislation or local ac-
ton, steps have been taken or plans
are under way to require idle men to
"a to work. Farmers know they can
not increase their food-crop produc-
ton unless they have more labor.
Town people know they will suffer
Inconvenience or want and have to
nv very high prices for the reduced
fations they are able to buy, if the
farmers do not increase production.
And both farmers and town people
know, as all the world knows, that
We can't win the war unless we have
ample food. So, states and counties
!, and towns the country over are de-
1 tsfmining that this is not time, nor
theirs a place, for the liberation OF
oilers.
For instance, few weeks ago the
sheriff Of Grayson County, Texas, a
tAickly populated and highly produc-
tive agricultural Section, announced
ID the Sherman papers and by post
ed proclamations that every man
must 60 to work" This sheriff did
rot wait for the State legislature to
enact new laws. The old ones are
strong enough to suit him. go to
work or go to JAIL" he said crisply.
mo man will be allowed to loaf
around this town or in this county,
because We are at point where
every mans labor is seriously needed
for the farms"
What about your county? What
about your state? Are you requir-
Ing loafers to become producers?
While your sons fight in France will
you permit husky men to remain idle
n your community, when you know
their labor will produce food without
which We can't win the war-with-
ont which your son fights in vain?

PEACE.

Inc United states ala not enter IN
to this war unadvisedly, hastily, UNI
der stress of heat or passion. We
took the sep calmly, soberly, reluct-
antly, with full sense TO the awful
responsibilities involved, the sacri-
fees demanded. the magnitude of the
task.
President Wilson did not advise in
his war measure, nor did Congress
act in declaring state of war be-
tween the United States and Ger
many without giving the most SOL
emn consideration of what the action
meant. They knew it meant the
death of thousands of brave Ameri-
and wounds and the disabling for life
of hundreds of thousands of our
young men. They counted to the
full the human cost and the material
cost.
Every development since has justi-
fed and proved the wisdom and the
imperative necessity of Americas
cess and every German failure have
shown how necessary to our own well
fare and peace, how necessary to the
safety and peace of the world the
defeat of Germany is. Every foot Of
land she has seized, have demonstrate
ed the imperative necessity of defeat
ing that sinister, intolerable thing
called Germanism.
Germanism is 5000 miles away.
1t must never come any nearer. Let
this war result in anything but the
defeat of Germany, let her emerge
with her power unbrOken and her
kultur still dominant; and it is but
question of time until we alone will
be fighting. Germany instead of war
ring against her with our Allies on
our side.
Lincoln said that this country
could not exist half slave and half
free. All Americans now recognize
that truth. The events Of the last
few years have shown equally clearly
that this world cannot exist half free
and half autocratic-half free people
loving liberty and justice and peace
and half an autocracy seeking TO
dominate the world. caring nothing
for liberty or justice and nothing for
humanity and civilization where they
interfere with it sambition.
There is no peace for America ex-
cept just peace. peace that means
world fit for free people to live in.

German practices are the antitheses
