HEART OF HUMANITY
BRINGS PRAISE FROM
FIRST DAY AUDIENCES
Great Spectacle Repeated at
Rex Today and Tomorrow
Splendid Orchestra

"Wonderful," and "the greutest
have ever seen," were among the
many expressions Of delight heard
from those who witnessed 'The Heart
Of Humanity at the Rex theatre
yesterday, and which is to be repeated
today and tomorrow, an announce
ment in this issue giving full parti
culars.
Critics have conceded this picture,
which has enjoyed indefinite runs IN
Minneapolis and all the large cities
of the east, to be one Of the three
greatest cinema spectacles OF all
times. More than one half of the
authoritative film reviewers say it is
the very best.
At least, it certainly presents
story that holds one spellbound for
more thar two hours. Added to the
picture is a large symphony orchestra
with an especially arranged musical
score and a number Of EFFECT" men
back stage to make the film seem
actually live. Critics of the Mime
apolis Daily News, The Minneapolis
Tribune and the Minneapolis j ournal
all agreed that the "effects" OF "The
Heart of Humanity" were the best
ever presented in Minneapolis.
Using the world war as a back
ground on which to build one of the
most absorbing tales of love ever
presented on tI1grscree1, director Al
len Holubar has given us a picturs
that even the most hardened of crit
les agree, even surpasses the advance
advertising. So gripping in its sus-
pense, so heroic in its few battle
scenes, so touching in it's tale OF
love and so joyful in its Joy, 1.-THE
Heart Of Humanity Is truly correct
ly termed as "the picture that will
live forever"
No producer Of the silent drama
has ever achieved a greater success
than that enjoyed by the man who
unfolded the intricate but heart rend-
ing plot of "The Heart Of Humanity"
1t makes you cry, yet even while
you are crying your face will wear q
smile before The tears have vanished.

Germans regard their foreign office
much in the light Of government
salvage department. Its aim is to
save as much out of the wreckage
of defeat and collapse Of the old re-
gime as possible. Public feeling is
extremely bitter against Er2berger
and the armistice commission for not
gaining more concessions, and hopes
have turned largely to the foreign
office to recover all that is lost.
These are high hopes, as the fore
ign office realizes, but the German
people have been brought up to ex-
pect wonders from their government.
In this relation the conception OF the
average German has not changed.
He gives support to the government
only when he Is obliged to, yet he
expects it to accomplish miracles in
it's dealings with outside powers. 1t
is a remnant Of the old "Deutchland
uber allies" days, a viewpoint drilled
into Germans from the days OF their
youth. 1t cannot be changed in a

Fourteen Points. These points are

With these as the basis for claim

STATE EDITORS DISCUSS
PROPOSED LAW CHANGES

Republican editors from all parts
of the state, to the number. of about
fifty, met in St. Paul yesterday after
noon to discuss the proposed changes
in the state primary election law.
The editors favor such changes in
the laws as will make minority nomi-
nations for office impossible, and are
expected to indorse any amendments
to the Warn ner- -Hompe state conven-
tion bill which the joint senate and
house committee working on the
problem may recommend.
Many of the editors wish the leg
islature to go further than either the
Warner-Hompe or the Rockne bill
and to extend the convention NOM
nations to county officers ad MEM
bers Of the Legislature, as wen as
state officers.

THE OTHER WISE MAN" is
NORDALE'S LECTURE TOPIC

Rev. r. B. Nordale, Of the Swedish
Lutheran church, gave a very inter-
esting lecture on "The Other Wise
Man" at the meeting Of the Lutheran
Brotherhood in the basement of the
church last evening.
This lecture was taken from Henry
Van Dykes famous book "The Other
Wise Man" which tells that there
were four wise men who went to
seek the new born Christ instead of
three as is generally thought.
After the lecture the business
meeting was taken up following
which lunch was served by the men
of the club. Aprons for the men
were sold at auction by G. c. Berg
lund. the sum Of fifteen dollars being
secured to be used in church work.

SAVE THE PIECES IS THE CRY
OF GERMAN PEOPLE TODAY

There were number OF other
points which the foreign office Is
prepared to dispute, prisoner ques-
tions, the blockade, the Polish bound
ary, but which are regarded more In
the light Of protest rather than fun
damentals, though the Polish bound
ary question worries Germans ex-
tremely. The series OF protests both
from the foreign office and the ar
mistice commission are considered
part of tho game OF saving as much
rs possible.
These claims and this policy on
the part Of the Germans, carried out
through the foreign office. may be
termed either "imperialistic, or
simply "selfsh." 1t depends upon
the point of view you have. If you
look at it from an Entente perspec-
tive and feel that the Germans ex-
pect to get everything they claim.
which could hardly be more If they
had won the war. you undoubtedly
term the claims "impcrialistic.
On the other hand, after talking
to members of the foreign office, you
find that even they do not expect to
get what they are demanding nor DO
not anticipate results from their pro-
tests. They feel that they are doing
the only thing possible to save some
thing for their country. They do not
feel they are imperialistic, and feel
that their claims are simply defen-
sive. From this point Of view 1t is
selfish
Every condition forced upon Ger
many Is taken bitterly, and the mo-
tives Of the Entente are mistrusted
in the extreme. An incident in the
foreign office after the February ar
mistice renewal will illustrate the
feeling. A group Of secretaries were
expostuiaung against the harshness
of the terms, and after arguing the
various motives, asked an American
present If he thought the terms were
hard and what the Entente wanted
| to do with Germany.
Il suppose the Entente wants to
make Germany modest he replied
"Don't you think we are modest?'
they asked in surprise.
"Frankly. no, I don't" said the
