FACING
UNITED STATES
+. LEWIS DECLARES
Must Keep Army and Navy
Prepared for Any Eventual
ity, States Senator.

| CHICAGO, Aug. Embarrassing the
Lawyers Association Of Illinois at the
Auditorium last night Senator James
Hamilton Lewis declared that the
country Is facing a critical period and
that the thing most necessary is to
keep the army and navy prepared for
any eventuality. He declared that
EBolshevism should be stamped out and
that all loyal Americans should CO.
operate in seeing that the traditions
and ideals Of America are not over
turned.
Discussing the Mexican situation he
said:
Let those governing Mexico know
that the Democratic administration OF
President Wilson, backed by a Repub-
lican Congress, is determined to pro-
tect American lives and American
rights in Mexico. This will be done
even If taking control Of Mexico by
force Is made necessary. President
Wilson and Congress have proven to
the world that they had exhausted the
patience of all Christian people watch
ing and waiting for Mexico to keep its
promise to protect the citizens and
the property Of the United States"
New Problems Seen.
your political yesterdays are dead,
said Mr.. Lewis. Your new political to
morrows are beginning today. There
are 40 political parties in the United
States now aligned on any issues
Through which any American citizen
has lived. The future great issue for
the American is to answer the ques-
tion-shall the United States remain
an isolated state of government. with
no political or commercial affiliations
with nations Of the earth. to depend
on its armies and navies for Its Sc
curity against all rivalry or antagon'
isms from the world; or shall 1t be
government Of the earth, united IN
common objects for peace and com
mercial welfare with the governments
of civilization-and sustained In Its
national life by the mutual dependency
each nation of the world will bear To
each other. In plain terms-are we
to be alone and part from the world
or government controlling the
world?
1.-THE President OF the United States
and his aids in all political parties
proclaim that the hour Of our national
isolation is ended. That advance OF
scinece, improvements in navigation
and commerce link US to the fates OF
the great peoples Of the earth. They
claim If we accept the situation as an
associate, it is for our peace and bless
ing. That If we deny it we must pre-
pare to sustain ourselves by force
through perpetual conflict. On the
other hand, most eminent and patriotic
sources warn us that to join in com
mon object with European nations is
to lose our identity as a separate ma
ton. These say that it is better to lose
all the disadvantages Of being alone
though opposed by all-than to take
the profits Of a Joint arrangement and
suffer the loss of the pride OF separate
position and freedom in an exclusive
life within ourselves.

Overalls are the most comforta BILE
things woman can wear, Peggy Hy-
land has discovered. She was con-
verted to advocacy of this apparel by
her experience in Cheating Herself"
her latest Fox comedy, which is now
showing at the Murray theatre.
While Miss Hyland was filming
scenes for this picture she was oblig-
ed to wear this masculine apparel, 1t
was the first time she had done So
and 1t surely was not the last. She
begged to be allowed to wear them for
the rest Of the afternoon. Although
the succeeding scenes called for dress
es, Miss Hyland persisted in wearing
the overalls, and vowed she would
purchase several pairs for home con.
sumption.
Gall women ought to wear Them
was her comment. "They are espe.
cially fine for active women who like
to hurdle over a fence once in a
while"

WASHINGTON.

We saw "Oh, Boy!" as a musical
comedy on the stage. We saw it at
the Washington theatre last night as
feature motion picture. We found it
, as motion picture in no way inferior
to the stage production in entertain
ment quality. And this. be 1t said, is
high praise. for "Oh, Boy" on the
stage was a smashing success!
Mr.. Albert Capellani, who as a mo-
tion picture director, has climbed high
and fast, directed the picture Mr..
Capellani has been turning out a not
able number of successes lately. His
work Is distinguished by It's smooth
ness, attention to detail, artistic finish
and inspirational treatment. Creigh-
ton Hale and June Caprice, two youth
full and decidedly good looking play
ers are co-starred in this production,
while the supporting cast deserves
more than a mere word Of praise.
There Is the veteran actor, w. H.
Thompson, who as the runaway brides
father, gives a most excellent perfor-
nance, and who is always so thor
oughly in his part that laugh after
laugh did him tribute. There is Flora
Finch, who with the late John Bunny,
entertained SO many persons. There
is Zena Keefe as the lively musical
comedy star who nearly breaks up
two happy families. There is also a
chap by the name of Conyers who
plays the "constabule" and plays him
well. Here Is a carefully chosen com
pany who work we'll together under
Mr. Capellina's direction and make a
most merry, rollicking comedy-drama
out Of the famous musical comedy.

A DEED OF FOLLY"
YET "HANDSOME DEED"

BERLIN, June 23.-.By Associat-
ed Press announcing
that the German fleet had been sunk
in Scapa Flow arrived too late for
the Sunday morning editions of
the Berlin papers, and the people
were given their first information
through noon editions. In a more
auspicious political situation the
news might have caused an outburst
of enthusiasm, but the public was not
moved to demonstration. The Ad-
miralty has received nothing beyond
brief bulletin, which came by way
of Holland.
Commenting upon the sinking of
the feet, the Berlin Gazette says
that it was perhaps a deed of folly,
as Germany might have been able
to force an indemnity for the sur
render of the ships. Nevertheless, .
it continues, sit was a handsome
deed"
The Neue Gazette says: "The off

deed may be forgiven. They acted

trained. On the other hand, if their
action carries with it injurious re-
suits for Germany, it must be re-

SEES HOPE IN ONE OF
PROMISES OF TREATY.

cat this hour of life and death,
under the menace of invasion, for
the last time raise in free Germany
a protest against this treaGy of vio-
lence and destruction | protest
against this mockery of self-deter-
minaton, this ensiavement of Ger
man people, this new menace to the
peace of the world under the mask
of treaty of peace. No signing
can enfeeble this protest, which we
raise and swear to. This treaty does
not lose its annihilating character by
alterations in detail. Protesting
against it is useless and is at the risk
of a new crisis within forty-eight
hours.
"Our power of resistance is brokel

this treaty. The treaty itself, how

DIR. HENDERSON
RESIGNS HERE;
..COES TO ALBANY

Announcement was made last night
to the church board by DIR. Leroy G..
Henderson, pastor of the Presbyter
ian church that he had decided to ac-
cept the call to the Albany Presbyte-
rian church, at the same time submit
ting his resignation as pastor of the
local church. The decision of DR..
Henderson was not announced to the
congregation, but the informatio
was generally known.
DIR. Henderson stated today that
his resignation is effective in July,
after which date he will take up his
new work in Albany. He will no
move his family from Americus until
September, however. He will preach
here next Sunday.
II regret very much to leave Amer
icus," said he today, "but I have de.
cided that to do so will be best. The
church at Albany is larger than the
Americus church which means larg-
er work"
Or. Henderson's departure is a
source of regret to large circle of
friends and acquaintances, to whom,
he has endeared himself during his
more than two years residence here.
DR.. Henderson has not been a regu-
lar pastor of the church, having occu-
pied the relation of "stated supply
pastor. He had been offered the reg
ular pastorate, however, but declined
to accept. He came here April 10,
1917, from Knoxville, Tenn, for his
health, and after six months of resi-
dence, during which time he regained
his health largely, he undertook the
supply work.
Last year he was president of the
ministerial association, and has been 3
leader in civic and religious affairs
of the community.
