The question of which roads of

with the court OF Jefferson county
for a road to the jefferson line,

recommendation OF this line by the

the internal revenue bureau, was
discussing changes in form of tax

as this might lead to reduced rev

to say there was no possibility of

American public would be only too de-
lighted to review. they point out.
Furthermore. the first French fiim to
reach us "JAccuse." Is frankly pro-
paganda picture. depicting some of the
worst phases OF the late war. The soft
pedal Is placed on German brutality.
1t is true. There arc no seducfions OF
nuns or mutilations OF infants in the
picture, but 1t is plea for sympathy
for the French nation. which iS strug-
Cling so braveiy TO recover from the
dcsolation of the war.
But propaganda or not, the champions
of the new foreign films declare that
they are a welcome relief from the
average American movie which In large
ly devoid OF artistic merit. While
Gypsy Love-" the latest Pola Negri
fim. does not live up to the high stand
ard set by the first foreign pictures,
the majority is said by those who have
seen them TO be exceptionally good.
In many respects. II cannot be denied.
the European directors are ahead OF
our directors over here. For instance.
nothing has yet been produced In this
country to compare with the artistic
sets designed by a noted European
modernist for "The Cabinet OF DIR. Cali
gari." II could easily be done in Holly
wood. We have plenty of artists In this
country who could achieve equally good
results. But the fact remains that 1t
has not been done.
The moving picture people themselves
are willing TO admit this. III Ia not the
artistic merit OF the new foreign films
To which they object nor OF which they
are Jealous. They have been eagerly
viewed by actor and director folk. who
are always open to suggestions for inn
proving their own work. II is the
cost OF the pictures which they resent
Ia cost with which the American in-
dustry cannot begin TO compete. In this
they see a real danger which threatens
the livlihood of over 10000 American
bread-winners. and which eventually
may turn this nation from the world s
greatest producer of fiims, into It's
greatest film buyer.

BEAT JAPAN ON DIVORCES.
Coming Into Prominence As
.Reno of the SOUTH

Japan has yielded TO Christian Ameri-
ca the possession OF the highest nation-
al divorce rate, and the figures, when
coupled with the sensational divorce
cases TO which the daily papers have de-
voted space, are regarded by our religi-
Gus press as a sinister commentary on
the state Of American society.
The report of the international Re-
form Bureau shows that 81 American
states-ranging from Vermont, with It's
I5s divorces to every 100000 population.
10 Nevada. with 65z--have divorce rate
higher than that Of Japan.
According to the report, Japan's rate
was 22g i'm 1885. but Federal law
brought il down in 1899 To Isl, and by
1915 it had fallen to 1os.
The rate for all states in this coun-
try in 1915 was 136 divorces for each
10o. 900 net population. Reno has given
place to Seattle as the great divorce
center, and Atlanta comes into prom
inence as the Reno of the South.
