 War Was Selfish

London, June 23.-What was called a Straight talk" was given at the annual meeting of the Union Jack Club by Field-Marshall Sir Henry Wilson who described himself as "an old soldier who knows what he is talk ing about"
 "We have been told" he said, "that we went into the war to end war. We did not. We went into it to save our skins. We were told that after the war we would have peace but we have not got it. There are at present be- tween 20 and 30 wars, big and little, going on. We were told that the war should end war but it did not and could not.
 "We are living in ticklish and dan gerous times, and our command on sea, on land, and in the air is being challenged in various parts of the world.'

Bryan Discusses
 Candidates and Issues In COmmOner

Lincoln, Neb., June 23-Prediction that the democratic national conven- ition at San Francisco will witness fights over the peace treaty, the prof iteer and the liquor issue, is made in an article by William J. Bryan in his newspaper, the Commoner.
 "The chances are in favor of rati- fication of the treaty without reser- vations, and against the profiteer and the saloon."
 MT. Bryan declared:
 "The overwhelming opposition to the policy of ratification without re- servation is shown by the vote at the primaries" he asserts, twill probably defeat any effort to make the treaty an issue in the campaign"
 The article also says the democratic platform is certain to declare against universal compulsory military train ing, that the convention will have to deal with the subject of private mo- nopoly, that the democratic party will insist upon toilers right to equal treatment, and that woman suffrage will be endorsed.
 Discussing possible democratic can- didates for the presidency, Bryan de- clares that former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo is handicapped as la candidate by his close relationship with the president while President Wilson himself, he says, need not be considered.
 Asserting that Mir. McAdoo is also handicapped by his silence on the peace treaty, MT. Bryan declares MT. McAdoo is unable to call to his sup port those to whom the presidents candidacy appealed with special force and that he would furnish an easy mark for all the presidents enemies. The article says, however, that MT. McAdoo has considerable strength among wage earners.
 ] Referring to President Wilson, MT. Bryan says that while vague hints and suggestions have been thrown out occasionally, no one claiming to speak for the president or near enough to him to be assumed to express his wishes has announced his candidacy.
 Herbert Hoover is eliminated from the list of candidates whom MT. Bryan considers available, while Senator Owen of Oklahoma and Secretary Meredith are desirable as being among the few available men thus far men, toned. To be available this year, MT. Bryan asserts, candidate must be known to be for woman suffrage, for prohibition and against Wall street. As to Attorney General Palmer, MT. Bryan says he entered the campaign in a position to deal with the profit eers and an expectant public stood ready to applaud but the profiteers seems to have things all his own way and the attorney general is now suf- fering from reaction. He adds that the attorney general is unfortunate, too, in having to espouse the ratifica- tion of the treaty without reserva- tions. . l Former Speaker Clark is mentioned as having his own state behind him, while opposition to Governor Edwards of New Jersey and Governor Cox of Ohio is reiterated.
 I Governor Cox's friends" the arti- cle declares, twill urge him as a com promise between the vets of the Ed wards type and the bone drys."
 e-President Marshall is accused of making a feeble bid for the vote.
 "Judge Gerard's candidacy has \ South Dakota's support and he has many friends among other delegates MT. Bryan says.

Uncle TOMS Cabin Coming.

In many respects VIM. II. Kibble's
Uncle Toms Cabin Is the most i'm
portant of the seasons productions.
In the first place ii serves to exploit
the masterpieces of two of Europe's
noted artists, i. e., Ralph Brunt's
elaborate painting entitled THE &C.
lestial City," and Hartz Verion's pic
lure OF the New Orleans slave mart;
and secondly 1t has brought back into
prominence the memories of the
grand old lady Harriet Beecher Stowe
and serves to reveal the beautiful les
sons really to be learned by careful
attention. Second to the Holy Book
does Uncle Toms Cabin rank as q
sacred instructor. The pulpit has
endorsed it as a moral teacher worthy
OF mankind's support while the Board
of Education in many of the large
cities has encourag ed scholars in wit
Messing the worthy dramatization In
the story that was instrumental in
making our country religious, free
and happy. Like a poorly composed
book, there are many versions of I'm
Gle Toms Cabin now being forced
upon the public under embossed COW
ering, which are detrimental to the
greatest degree. They are usually
short-lived for the people of today
are not to be hoodwinked as easily
as those of not so many ear ago. 1t
is a know fact that VIM. ii. Kibble
, possesses the original version of Mrs.
Stoves story and that it has been
unanimously accepted by the press,
| pulpit and public of America and
England. The Kibble revival Will be
brought to the Majestic theatre next
Tuesday April 20. matinee and night.
