To the Editor OF THE WILMINGTON
EVENING JOURNAL;
Sir: The result OF the election for
nrst vlce-presldent held by the Massa-
chusetts Woman Suffrage Association
last week, was a very startling illus
tration Of the claim Of the Anti-Suf-
fragists that paclflsm holds sway
within the Suffrage ranks.
Although Mrs. Bird received ninety
three votes. there were one hundred
and forty-two votes cast for the two
candidates whose loyalty was chal-
lenged by certain members Of the Suf-
frage Association.
The one termed an out-and-out Pa
cflst came within only few votes of
winning the election, while the com
blned votes for the two so-called dis
loyal women" exceeded by more than
one and a half times those cast for
Mrs. Bird. the "Win-the-War" candi-
date.

WHO are the Bulgarians and what
is their history?
The Balkans peninsula is divided
racially into five groupsi Slavs, AL
banians. Greeks, Turks and Ruman-
ians.
The Slavs in the Balkans consti-
tute the southern branch OF the
Slavonic race. and are themselves
divided into Jugo-Slavs (Serb-
Croats and Slovenes) and Bulgar-
ians. who are not pure Slav.
The Bulgars are first mentioned
in history As having lived in the
steppes to the north OF the Bluck
Sea in 4S2 a. D.
In the sixth and seventh cen
turtles they expanded from eastern
Russia and settled along the Dan
ube.
Fuse with sIav Rnce.
Gradually the Bulgars became fused
with the SIavs. and so completely
were they submerged that beyond a
few personal names no traces Of the
language of the Bulgars have sur
vived.
From the ninth century to the four
teenth, except for periods when it was
under Greek rule. Bulgaria maintain
ed its Independence as an empire. In

and Bulgaria was the last of the

It is said that the treme GUS loss
of life in the European war inspired
George Loane Tucker to produce the
peculiar photoplay, II Believe"
which will appear at the Elko Fri
day and Saturday, matinees and eve
ming. Z. Il ,s.r
In this drama, Producer Tucker
pits the magnetic power Of a cele-
bnated London atheist and scientist
against the church. N |- n n
Admittedly a daring subject but
the director who has presented such
worldwide successes as THE Chris
tian" and 1.-THE Manxman," far from
being daunted by his new inspiration
went ahead and by means of what at
times amounts to red-blooded drama
with moments of comedy and extreme
pathos, builded structure which has
proven a sensation in the screen
world, and it is said no matter what
ones belief Of the hereafter may be,
they cannot witness this production
without being strangely fascinated
The Chicago Board of Censors,
said to be the strictest and most
conservative board of it's kind in
existence, agreed to permit its gen
eral opinion of II Believe" to be, ex-
pressed in these words, "This is the
greatest photoplay censored by us in
a long, long time" 49, s. o.. -, 49,.

THEDA BARA TONIGHT

1t requires no extended notice to
introduce to Bemidji that celebrated
actress, Theda Bara, who will be

auctions ever screened, "DuBarry,"
from the historic novel by same
name penned by Alexander Dumas,
the noted French author.
1t is the story of the greatest ad-
ventures that France ever knew. 1t
is faithfully based upon this book,
among the most widely read in the
libraries of the country. Miss Bara
is given every opportunity to display
her talents as dramatic actress and
the picture is sure to prove a mag
net here as it has in the large
cities.
There will also be a fine comedy
as an added attraction and the prices
remain the same.
