WERE CHRISTIANS AT NIGHT
Tribe OF StavriIi In Trebizond Long
Practiced Deception on Their
Turk Overlords.

Not far from TrebiZond ION the
Black Sea in Asia Mnor) live the clan
of Stayrili, descendants of the Greeks
who kept a Greek kingdom in being
until after Constantinople had fallen.
writes George e. White in the Amer
lean Review of Reviews.
The StavriIi knew that they were OF
Christian ancestry, but in some hour
of persecution their fathers had yield
ed assent to Islam. The same build
ings were said to serve as mosques
above ground and churches below the
same men as imams by days and
priests by night; the same boys were
said to be circumcized and baptized
and named both Osman and Constan-
tine.

w.nino Out Predatory Animals.

During 1918 hunters of the United
States department of agriculture killed
SO gray wolves in New Mexico 81
mountain lions, Is stock-destroying
bears, 1850 coyotes, and $50 bobcats
we are told. These animals were
killed at total expense of $24,o6o'
and the saving effected by their de-
struction, ON the basis commonly ac-
copied by stockmen, amounts to SID
$50 annually. Hunting during the
spring period destroys many young
and thus prevents increase. Many
coyotes not accounted for in the fig-
ures given were destroyed by poison
The killing of these animals marks
long stride in determination OF gray
wolves and other predatory animals
and the saving is cumulative for years
to come.

NATION WAS NEVER MORE FIT
American People Have Learned Many
Valuable Lessons Under Great
Stimulus Of War.

"Under the stimulus of war we have
sweated off mental, moral and physical
fat" says the New York Medical Jour
nal ''We have been forced to curb
our appetites. We have learned to sac
rifice without complaint, to dare with
out buster, and sink our will in the
common veal. Many of us went to the
training camps fiabby We learned to
rise early, battle cold, eat plenty, work
hard, and sleep soundly. We learned
to obey promptly, to think precisely.
to work accurately, and to command
properly. One by one the vest ripples
of the body, mind and soul disappeared
and we were proud to be hard and mt
again.
"There is a great lesson in all this.
Flabbiness is mans greatest sin
against himself 1t begets sloth. fear
and selfishness. IT underinines the
mind, the character, the body. Is this
lesson. learned at the cost of lives
and limbs and worldwide sacrifice, to
be lost? Is the ponderous abdomen
and feeble leg of yesterday to replace
the straight front and springy carriage
Of today? Are we going to shrink from
the cold bath and the hardening neces-
stiles of daily life? Or will we attack

OLD THINGS UNDER THE SUN
Democracy in Ancient Jewish Days and
the League of Nations,
Are Two.

The democratic idea is of great antiq-
uity, the Christian Herald reminds its
readers. Under the prophets and
judges, Israel was democracy. 1t was
not until they were fascinated by the
barbaric splendor and unrestrained Ii
ccnse Of the heather nations around
them that they began to be dissatisfied
with their own simple ways and to long
for king and SNOWY court. II was
the lure of sin and worldly vanity.
Samuel warned them against courts
and kings and told them of what would
happen. but his warnings went unheed-
Ell. The vision of the age of peace
began as early as eight centuries b. c..
hat it was not until the Christian era
that the world change in the existing
order fully dawned upon the minds of
men. The idea of league Of nations
Is not new. Such league was fore
Swallowed by Jean Bloch. In his re-
markabIe book, "The Future Of War"
issued 20 years ago. II was also fore
seen by Emanuel Kant. who. in his cs-
say on Perpetual Peace" wrote that
the law of nations must be based on
the federation Of free states At diff
ferent times leaders In national and
International reform have had visions
Of such a league, but always as pos

Dorothy Dalton will appear in her new
est photoplay, "Vive La France" next
Wednesday. This is a superb drama of
the war in France which affords the star
every opportunity for the utilization of
her remarkable gifts for emotional acting
and which presents distinctly original
situations.
AS a French girl and motion picture
actress who is caught in the vortex of
war, Miss Dalton has a role that is full
of subtleties and shades of deep emotion.
The story is one of absorbing interest
and the situations are exceptionally dra-
matte, From every standpoint, this is a
photoplay of the highest merit and it
should interest you greatly

,TCNlmloaiCJA4Aua

From a royal court in Belgium to an
humble log cabin in the mountains1 of
Tennessee is far cry, but in ''Out of a
Clear Sky" the new Paramount picture
starring dainty Marguerite Clark, which
will be shown Thursday, Celeste, Coun-
tess of Bersek and krymm, the beautiful
heroine personated by Miss Clark, makes
this transition with happy results.
When Celeste refuses to become a
pawn Of state and escapes to this coun-
try, she hides in the mountains of Ten
nessee where she is befriened by Robert
Lawrence, personated by Thomas Meig-
han, and ultimately shakes off her pur-
suers and finds happiness in strong
mans love. The story is beautiful one,
thrilling and decidedly appealing. 1t is
based upon the novel of Maria Thompson
Daviess and was directed by Marshall
Neilan. The support provided for Miss
Clark is one of the best.
The Official Wa Review and two
