FROM THE MANGER
TO THE CROSS

At the Nogales theatre Monday ev-
ening, April IA, there will be present
ed Kalem's Biblical masterpiece, in
five reels, 5000 feet, entitled "From
the Manger to the Cross" reverent
moving picture life story of Jesus of
Nazareth, which is probably the most
expensive and carefully prepared
film in the world.
In the great picture to be present
ed Monday afternoon and evening the
life Of Christ, from his birth in the
manger at Bethlehem, to his cruci-
fixion on Mount Calvary, will be pre-
sented in a most realistic and i'm
pressive manner.
Beyond the deeply religious at
mosphere the pictures are accurately
historical and instructive in their
presentation Of the habits, customs
and of the people of that far away
time and distant land when God
walked the earth as a man. The pic
lures have great educational value
and they will attract large audiences.

Will your ship come in next We'd
.nesday?
Is the outcome Of The Daily Morn
ing Oasis $4,000 race for prizes GO
ing to be favorable to you? If your
past efforts have made deep chan
mel for the progress of your ship of
fortune, then you can feel reasona-
bly, certain that there will be no
shoals to founder or >distresss it. On
the other hand, if you do not behold
one Of the valuable prizes in your
possession after the winners are an
nounced, it may be due to your lack
of proper hustle during the few days
that remain between NOW and
NEXT Wednesday.
Would you be satisfied to lose out
by few thousand votes if you knew
that the candidate ahead Of you had
secured his or her majority over you
during the final days OF, the race :?
You certainly would not: it is for
this reason that your candidacy
should at this time be better support
ed and pushed to its conclusion than
on any day so far.
Votes Will Win For You
The votes to be obtained by turn
ing in subscriptions will make you a
winner, but The Morning Oasis can
not do the work of obtaining them
for you, except to offer THE BEST
PUBLICATION in this section of the
country. When they give you that
their power to bring in subscriptions
ceases. The further appeal must be
made by you in your own way. II
your friends need persuasion before
they can be enlisted in your cause,
it is up to you to do the persuadin.s.
Don't wait for any trick of fate to
bring the subscriptions to you.
YOU'VE GOT TO GO OUT AND
GET THEM. You know what the
chances are of being returned a win
ner if you work. Also what they are
if you don't work. Make the last
days count in your favor by turning
each moment into votes.
Important to Candidates
Are the conditions affecting the
close of the competition clear to you?
The race will close on the stroke of 9
o'clock next Wednesday night. Votes
or subscriptions handed over at 9:01
will get nothing but a tired smile
from a tired clerk. Votes or sub
scriptions that come in too late will
The daily morning oasis., 1919-04-12
Second District

be of no avail. Don't wait until the
final moment to turn in your final
subscription money. Trains go wrong,
crowds sometimes hustle one until
getting through is almost impossible.
There was fearful ballad once upon
time entitled, "The Pardon Came
Too Late" Well, subscriptions that
come into this office too late will be
just as much avail to candidate as
that pardon was to the fellow that
was hanged.
Every possible provision will be
made to take care Of the business
turned in and a sufficient clerical
force will see that no time is wasted
and that every vote turned In will
be accepted to the final count.
The Exciting Days
The next few days are going to be
exciting ones. The candidates have
come to realization of what great
rewards are in store for them if the
win. Much may be done before the
clock tolls the closing hours--much
will be done. That is certain. But
let it be done right and finished.
Four days remain after today be-
fore the end. It will then be deter
mined who are the fortunate winners.
Four days is not long time, but It
is going to be filled with the greatest
possible effort on the part Of the diff
ferent candidates. There was never
a competition more popular than The
Daily Morning Oasis campaign to in--
crease their subscription list. And
no wonder. There are mum erous can
didates and numerous valuable prizes
held forth as rewards for the ener-
getic workers.
A Big Night in Nogales
It will be a big night Wednesday
night. The hour Of 9 will be tolled.
A lull will come in the hurried con-
versation of visitors to the campaign
"NO MORE VOTES
RECEIVED" "The campaign is at
an end," will be announced and those
presetn will realize that the most
remarkable race of all time has ended.
There is no longer any urging to be
done for your benefit. You realize
that to win you must secure the sub
scriptions up to the very last minute.
But do not wait until the very last
minute to turn in your last votes.
Bring them to US as you go along
and be free to devote all your spare

PLOT DISCLOSED
TO TURN over
TO SPARTACANS.
THE PRESENT Ger
Man Government
Omitted Press 3 'c-)

BERLIN, April Ill: a.inounc-
ed today that confr..>- ION has been
received in official circles Of discov-
cry of Bolsheviki plot to seiz. Ber-
lin and start a worldwide proletrian
revolution.
Under the Bolshevi6 plan, as dis
closed, Spartacans, probably with the
consent of the present German gov
ernment, were to assume the admin
istrative power of Germany, imme-
diaeely following conclusion of the
Versailles conference. The Spartac-
ans would then refuse to sign the
peace treaty, fold their arms and say:
"Do what you like, we'll do nothing"
With that the Bolsheviki believe
the allies would occupy Central Eu-
rope, and that such action would
arouse the people of the allied ma
tions and cause their. uprising that
unrest, coupled with the propaganda
among allied soldiers would result in
a worldwide revolt.
It is made clear here that Germany
is going to be forced go pay for her
policy of frightfulness in the occu-
pied regions of France and Belgium.
The peace treaty will not require
trial of the kaiser before an interna-
tional cfibunal, but will leave the
way open for any nation to extradite
personal responsibility for wr
crimes and bring them go trial On
local indictments.

INCREASE IN PAY
GRANTED RAILWAY.
TRAINMEN and to-
ENCINEMEN ON
NATIONS ROADS,
UNITED Press service)

WASHINGTON, April IL. -Direc-
tor General Hines has granted an in
crease in wages to trainment, en-
ginemen and others on the national
lied railway lines. The increase
granted affects 100000 men, and is
retroactive, taking effect from the
first of January.
1t was directed that the claims of
employees for time and a half time
for overtime shall be left to a bl-
partisan board for decision.
The increases amount to from $15
to $3.50 per month for men paid on
a monthly basis, and from 81 cents
to $1.53 per day to men paid on a
daily basis, over the scale adopted in
1917.
Officials of the national railway ad-
ministration could not estimate lief
ir,itely what will be the total of this
newest increase; but they said that
if all the increases sought by railroad
employees were granted, it woutt haEe
cost sixty-seven and one-half r1illior
dollars more than last year.
Mr.. Hines stated that the Increase:
announced are granted to overcom,
obvious injustices wrought by th'
general advance granted railroad
workers in May, 1918.
Claims for increases to dining ant
sleeping car employees of the railroad
are still pending, and decision i
expected shortly.
