The Birth Of q Nation VIII Begin Engagement
 GaLax Theatre Monday

historical, l,slS. .o0o people fill the stage, which has vast territory for its background, 5000 horses pass before your view in wild dashes over miles Of country roadways. The decisive battles of the Civil war are repro- duced in faithful detail and you see these conflicts fought again just as they were waged over 30 years ago. Cities were built up only to be de- stroyed to lend force and verity to the dramatic narrative. One enormous battlefield is shown stretching over an area of 10 square miles and upon these plains and trenches 10000 sol diers clash in warfare that is as real as if you were an eyewitness of the actual occurrence. Holding the great effects in tether is a story as tender and true as love and romance can be pictured. There are tears and smiles, noble sacrifices and heroic deeds of personal valor. Youthful dreams of loves fruition are rent asunder by the demons of war; home ties snap before the call to arms and suffering such as cannot be imagined is depicted in the crude manner that history is made when men surrender reason to passion and engage in a deadlock of armed resistance.
 You see the war start after being shown the causes which precipitated it. You see the great generals of the

ANOTHER DREAMER SATISFIED
Engineer Went to Save Russia's Rail- ways-Made A Prisoner.

Berlin, July 1s.-James Keeley, a Pittsburgh engineer, who went to Russia thoro idealist and offered to put Russia's railroads in order, only to be placed in prison, has been re- leased, according to late arrivals from Moscow. Keeley, who served eight cen months in prison and recently was sentenced to another two years, has been given his liberty, but he has been ordered to remain in Russia for eight months before going to America. The Pittsburgh engineer went to Russia on the invitation of M. Lomonosoif chief railroad commissar. He is said to have told Lomonosoff that he was tired of giving his energies to capital istic enterprises and he therefore vol unteered to work without pay in Rus sia. Keeley wrote letters to his wife saying there were snakes and other troubles in the bolshevist paradise and after his first report on the raidroad situation, in which he criticised the graft, soviet officials had him put in jail.

 CLOSE CHAUTAUQUA BUSINESS Financial Returns Not as Good This
 Year-1922 Plan Some Different.

The local management of the Chau- tauqua had been unable last week to close the business of the 1921 session for the reason that not all bills for the
 local expenses have been obtained, and then, too, an effort is being made to get exemption from the payment of the war tax on account of the fact that the Chautauqua is conducted as a community enterprise. Regulation No. 43, issued by the Treasury De- partment, is supposed to cover the To- cal conditions. The chances are, how ever that there will not be much of a surplus this year, due largely to tine financial depression.
 This same condition prevailed else where as is evidenced by letter from Lon T. Jones, secretary of the cham
 Der of Commerce at Ashdown, in which he states that the Ashdown Chautauqua failed to pay out, tho he
 adds that the program was better
 than in the two years previous, ex-
 plaining that the deficit was oc- casioned from the fact that the peo-

 buy with" In this connection it is
 interesting to note that the head liners" for the Ashdown Chautauqua
 were M. M. Mahany in a lecture on Mexico and Dr. Edward Burton Mac Dowell in one of his travelogues. Another interesting light on the comparative cost and standard of the talent that comes to Mena under the auspices of the White & Myers Sys- tenn comes from a letter received this week by W. s. MacLafferty from Marshall, Minn., where the Redpath- Vawter System had the contract at $I650 for five-day Chautauqua with Granville Jones and Margaret Kunz Baker, both of whom have been on the Mena circuit, as the "headliners." In addition to the price of $1650 the Marshall people gave the Chautauqua association all the gate receipts and 1 the receipts for reserved seats, tho all the receipts from the sale of sea. son tickets went to the local organi. zation.
 The contract for Mena for 1922 is an outright purchase at $1100, re. ceipts from every source above that ! going to the local organization, ths White & Myers System furnishing the talent, the tent, the advertising mat. ter. tickets and programs, and furn- ishing the platform manager and tent crew the same as in other years.

ernments are in love with each other is one of the pleasantries of the day. writes Louis. Alliances are formed with definite business objects, and when these objects are achieved the alliances end.
 "The business of the alliance of 1914-17 was to defeat the central pow CTS, and it did it. But now this capi- talistic alliance is divided further each day. England and Italy, that is, their governments, think differently than France on the question of the Ruhr and Upper Silesia; England and the United States dispute about oil.
 'In 1914 the mine owners, the steel interests and the shipping interests of England feared German competition, and that is why they lent their aid to France. The government of Italy, in 1915, and the government of Ruman- ia, in 1916, wished to profit by the circumstances to take slices from Austria and Hungary. But today Italy needs no more Austrian territory, and England thinks it is time to renew commercial affairs with Germany. That explains why England and Italy do not see the same way as France in affairs touching the central powers.
 Ut is the competition of the antag- onistic interests of capitalists which is causing this evolution in the affairs of Europe. The present regime creates only insecurity and instability, for nothing stable for the peace of the world can be founded on the interests of one class"
