Hated WAR
DECLARES HALDANE
Englishman Says Emperor's
Position Was Difficult
and Misunderstood.

LONDON. Oct. 15.-Political England
has something to talk about besides the
railway strike-for Viscount Haldane,
ex-mlnister Of war and lord high chan
cellor, has come forth with an article,
In which he expresses the belief that the
ex-emperor Of Germany "desired peace
Just As Hollweg has told US
Haldane's article, tending to modify
the former kaiser's war guilt, appeared
IN a magazine and started much talk.
AS Hollweg told us" he wrote, the
kaiser not only INDUCED in war talk.
but also surrounded himself with a
group of advisers, who preached war as
Inevitable. The emperor well may have
been in n difficult position. But | be-
lieve him to have most genuinely de-
sired peace
Had Germany possessed u true parlia-
mentary system before the war, there
probably would not have been such n
conflict, Haldane said,
And, Notwithstanding all that had
been done to educate them to 1t, | do
not think the German people at large
ever Endorsed the implications of Ger
man militarism,' he added,
Germany's preparations to increase
her navy were known before tho war,
said Haldane, and related an incident Of
his trip to Berlin to arrange an AMIGA
bic understanding with regard to arma-
ments.
Before | left Berlin the emperor per-
soually gave me, with friendly frank
ness and permission to show 1t TO my
colleagues, an advanced copy OF the new
navy hill" he wrote,
HaldRne said he returned to London
and gave the copy to the British ad-
miralty. On the basis Of its revelations
of Germany's proposed navy increase,
the British navy cabinet sanctioned a
British navy increase sufficient to keep
pace.
Writing of Hollwegy llaldane said
Hollweg's conversation indicated that
the German chancellor sincerely desired
to establish good relations with Eng
land, btu was hamperod by the existing
| policy of competitive ornaments. Hal
dane said that they discussed territorial
arrangements, which probably would
have been signed had not the war in

Prisoners Have No Chance.

In this part of Korea | heard more
complaints Of women being tortured
and beaten than in any other place. In
spite of all the brutality and suffering
they have to put up with, they are still
strong in the belief that an end will
come to their suffering; that they VIII
gain the sympathy Of the world and.
eventually Il better form Of government.
The trials also are complained of. The
soldiers would decide to try 200 on one
day. This number would be driven out
Of the cells, and sent in patches ot
eight or ten to the courtroom. One
charge would be made against each
batch, the prosecutor would demand a
sentence OF so many strokes with the

1t must be clearly understood that az
no time has there been any attempt
made to create n serious breach OF
the peace. The demonstrations have
been peaceful all the way through, ana
that is why it Is so difficult to under

and soldiery attack the Koreans. When

were closed, the services in the church
were forbidden, and in many instances
when SOM of the people in the inland
districts went to meet at their little
church, they were driven away with
loaded rifles and fixed bayonets. In
other districts churches were burned
TO the ground and the people prevented
from putting out the fire by armed
soldiers and police. IN ~Pyengyang, as
in other parts of Korea, it is useless to
make any complaint to the civil au-
thoritles, as the military reign is un-

Expects $780, OO Profits

A few days ago we asked a man prominently
connected with the American Cinema Corporation
to estimate for us in detail just what returns
should be expected from the sale of the pictures
and how these returns would affect the stock divi-
bends. This is the answer:
President Walter F. Niebuhr has stated that
he expects to pay dividends about December first.

$780, 900 Already Invested

Here is a sound organization formed only a
year ago to produce absolutely top-notch moving
pictures. Immediately a small group of keen BUSH
ness men whose experience in financial and picture
circles had proved to them that the best pictures
reaped the biggest cash returns, took over a part
of the capital stock.
And they put up in the following year over
100000 in cash out of their own pockets because
they had absolute faith in their GUN inten-
tions!
As we have told you, this is such an astonishing
reversal of the usual method that when we dis
covered that the American Cinema Corporation had
actually produced three complete fve-reel
photo dramas and that the public had not been
permitted to buy a share of stock, we decided that
this was a real opportunity. We are proud of the
fact that we finally succeeded in getting 10000
shares of the stock assigned to us for distribution.
These 10000 shares are Just one-quarter of the
entire capitalization. That total capitalization is
100000 divided into 100000 shares of SIS par
value Gully paid and non-assessable). There is
no preferred stock.
We welcome the opportunity to sell you this
stock because we believe in its tremendous value
and the abundant earning power of the company.

They are Greater Than Love- with Mollie King

Tangible Property

The comparatively small allotment of American
Cinema stock we have had placed in our hands
won't remain unsold many days, if we guess your
buying Intentions right. You get it now at $40,
an increase over the par value amply justified by
what has been accomplished. When it is listed
on the New York Curb; when the official an
nouncement of its first dividend is made; when
some Of its further plans are made known, we will
be greatly mistaken if you can buy it at several
times its present price. That's why we are urging
you to buy yours now!
And we don't want you to overlook the fact
that YOU ARR BUYING SHARES IN TAN
CHILE PROPERTY when you buy American
Cinema. Those first pictures are the kind of
property a bank lends money on. The splendidly
equipped studio out lat Glendale, Long Island.
within thirty minutes of the heart of New York
City, is turning out picture footage day by day
that is worth more actual dcllarsl
Our business is selling moving picture securi-
ties, and we are offering you, like other statesmen,
goods that we believe in. In fact, we know of
nothing that has greater possibilities for big divi-
bends than this American Cinemas proposition.

Why not let these famous picture
stars earn money for you?

He bases that statement on the favorable contracts
that have been arranged for. Our foreign con-
tracts guarantee us a cash advance of o~ne-thiTd
of the cost of each picture, and we receive 500
of the gross foreign receipts. Our American con-
tracts will provide returns from the sales of the
Mollie King pictures Of S95,ooo each, and we have
arranged to produce FIVE of these pictures, of
which two are already completed. Then we will
make six pictures, one of which has been COM
pleted, with Louise Huff, the former Famous
Players star, at about the same cost. We antici-
pate $4,000 from the sale of each of these. Our
gross returns from the Lincoln pictures we esti-
mate at another $25o,ooo, or an aggregate profit
for the first productions of over $Soo,ooo, all
of which should accrue within the next fifteen
months. And please remember, that does not
include one cent of return from the enormously
valuable foreign market"
We have no hesitation in telling you that we
are satisfied that estimate is accurate. Remem-
Der, three pictures have been finished, and two
more should be completed within thirty days. The
first picture is already sold at a profit of over
Ioo%o.
