To Screen "The Eyos of the World.

TO the thousands of book readers
who know the tense dramatic inter-
est and deep emotional thrill of Har-
old Bell Wright's famous story OF
love and adventure, THE Eyes OF
the World" it will be welcome news
that magnificent motion picture
production of the romance in nine
reels will be seen here at the Fisk
Opera House theater OH Tuesday,
May IS.
The fight on the cliff in "The Eyes
of the World between King and
Rutlidge, which is the major climax
of the story, is said to be one of the
most thrilling things ever shown in
a theater. A musical score has been
prepared for "The Eyes of the
World" which is cued to the second
with every mood of the unfolding
tale, and is said to be symphonic
drama in itself.
THE Eyes of the World" was
filmed with the active personal as
sistance of the author, who not only
amplified the story for the screen
and prepared the working scenario,
but also took part in the day-by-day
work of interpreting his characters
for the production. A motion picture
view of Harold Bell Wright at his
literary workshop on his great ranch
at Oracle, Arizona, are shown pre-
ceding the filmed story.

URGES HUN FLEET BE SUNK
The Greatest Moral Lesson of the
War, Daniels Says.

London, May 3.-The greatest
moral lesson of the war would be to
sink the entire German fleet with
proper ceremonies, Josephus Daniels.
American Secretary OF the Navy,
who recently visited the captured
German vessels at Scarpa Flow, as
serted in statement today to the
Associated Press.
The German fleet should be sunk
in the opinion OF American and Brit
ish technical experts in Paris" the
Secretary said. Those who are not
technical and who view the situation
entirely from the moral side have the
same idea and believe that the ships
should be sunk with bands playing
and flags flying to keep company
with the merchantmen the German
navy destroyed
Il think the greatest moral lesson
of the war would be the sinking of
the whole fleet with an unforgettable
ceremony. These ships which | re-
Gently viewed are magnificent craft,
but virtually useless as part of the
American navy. In the first place
you could never induce an American
sailor to live in the cramped and un-
healthy quarters. even OF the later
types, and none has bunker space
sufficient for our needs. The ships
undoubtedly were built for fighting
in the North Sea and not for long
cruises as is necessary in our navy.

Mrs. Nancy J. Pulliarf,.

Sunday mohing when Mrs. VIII.
liam Fair, living about four miles
west of Adrian, went to the room OF
her mother, Mrs. Nancy J. Pulliam
aged 50 years, she found her dead in
bed with a towel knotted tightly
around her neck. As the body was

had been dead only a short time.
Some time ago she suffered a Sc

slow. She had worried considerable
about this and it is thought that be-
coming discouraged she took her

Both Had Suffered From
the Influenza.

Thursday morning of last week
George Ashbaugh, we'll known far
mer living a few miles west of
Adrian, committed suicide by hang
ing himself to rafter in his barn.
No cause except that he had been
brooding over not being able to re-
cover from recent attack of the iii
fluenza as soon ass he thought he
should, can be found for the rash act.
His home life was the most pleasant
and he had no financial difficulties
so far as is known. He stood we'll
in the community and his many
friends are forced to the conclusion
that the attack of the influenza tenn
porarily unbalanced him.
Funeral services were held Friday
afternoon and interment made in the
