But If we are to place credence
in n reliable London paper, the Ru-

JOIN THE ARMY
AND GO TO SCHOOL"
DRAWING MANY BOYS
INTO THE SERVICE

Kansas City, Mo-. Feb. 4.--"Join
the army and go to school,, is the
promise which has drawn young men
into military service in the last year
the Adjutant General of the Army
says, according to information recev-
ed by army officers sationed in Kan
sas City. The only widely heralded
invitation to 'see the world" is no
longer apparently much of motive
and responses from sections OF the
Middle West, remote from good edu-
cational facilities, made to letters des-
cribing the advantages of the army
school system have shown wide
spread interest in that phase Of mill
tary training.
A farmer in the Ozark country OF
Missouri father of eleven children,
nine of whom are boys, wanted to
know whether special permission
could not be granted for his eldest
son and pair of twins, all slightly
below the required age for enlistment,
to be accepted.
Il see no possibility OF their getting
an education anywhere else" he wrote
Another Missouri farmer wanted his
boy to enlist so that he could &c
on with his schooling.
He is getting an education now
under great difficulties" wrote the
father, "as we live six and a halt
miles from town and he has 10 &c
on horseback"
A young man in =. small town in
Oklahoma wrote:

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

No city in the United States lq
sustifiahle in passing o:sr the birth
day anniversary of Abraham Lincoln
without some observance of the day
being made. The event is generally
celebrated in the progressive cities by
the giving of a Lincoln Day Ban
quet and it does seem that Ardmore
on this occasion should in some man.
ncr pay tribute to the great Amer
ican.
Mf. Lincoln's achievements - his de-
votion to country his distinguished
service TO the nation when it was
going through its most trying hour,
his arduous love for the constitu-
ton, entitle him to recognition. When
he was at the helm of state the
union was threatened and he piloted
the ship of state through the most
threatening breakers the republic has
ever seen and had he survived there
is every reason to believe that the
vanquished forces would not have been
treated as they were. that there would
have been much less sectional ha-
tired and that the union would have
been cemented earlier than it was.
The love and respect Lincoln had
for the constitution alone entities
him to all the honor that this coun.
try can pay him. He loved that
simple fundamental law that formed
the basis Of this country's growth.
IIe loved that law that permitted
him to march from the log cabin Of
pioneer days TO the presidency of the
republic. He loved that law which
gives 10 every American an equal
chance no matter what the surround
ings in youth might be. He loved
that law that eliminated royalty from
the country. If the nation today
could return to the same respect
which Lincoln had for the constitu-
ton it would cure the country of
every tendency toward bolshevism that
holds in its hands a torch to destroy
the institutions Of this republic. The
birth anniversary of Abraham Lin
coin should not pass by unnotced.

business transactions. There is a
canon law in the Greek church for
bidding the marriage of brother
and a sister with sister and a
brother. II was expected, on first
announcement of the engagements
that the marriage would be stimuli
taneous to evade this provision. Queen
Sophie of Greece, however is report
ed to have said that this would not
be necessary, however, since the King
of Rumania, as Head of the Church,
could manipulate the canon law TO
suit the occasion. Queen Sophie is
sister of former Emperor William
II of Germany, now in exile in Hol-
land.
Affairs in the Near East just now
involve Turkey and Greece in such
way that the future OF the latter
country might have a favorable or
unfavorable effect on conditions there,
The Greek political crisis is said to
have been complicated by announce
ment Of the double matrimonial all-
ance between the royal families of
Greece and Rumania.
If members of royal families wish
to conserve the best interests of their
respective countries, and are willing
to sacrifice, if necessary, their own
domestic happiness. such business
marriage might not be particularly
odious But the fact is that such an
alliance often disturbs the domestic
happiness of persons other than men,
bers of the royal family. A person
should be free to sacrifice his own
interests, but at the same time be
careful to see that such does not at
the same time involve the interests
Of others.
The betrothal of Crown Prince
Charles of Rumania affords an ex-
ample of such a sacrifice. In 1918,
he was secretly welded to Mile. Zizl
LdlilDTlHo, lUe uduSHteT VI nluJoi
in the Rumanian army. This was
morganatic marriage. There seems
to be no doubt that this would have
proved happy marriage II Charles
had not been a crown prince. The
royal family used every means 10
separate them. Charles was placed
in prison. where he displayed un-
usual courage for one OF his posi-
ton. He declared he would not leave
his morganatic wife even If 1t meant
that he would lose his succession to
the crown.
Double marriages between families
are not looked upon in any such man
ner in this country. And a law which
forbids such engagements and at the
same time sanctions a royal marriage
following morganatic marriage in
this manner, must have been designed
with some tact for straining at
gnat and swallowing a camel

tuvimos Ell gusto de asistir la segunda
exhibition privada en- ell Seminario del
Obispado, de una pelicula que .ha llega-
do tiltimamente a San Juan y cuyo tt
tulo es Ell que encabeza este articulo. A
este obedecio ell que al aceptar la invi-
tacion fu6ranos va con nuestro amino
predispuesto, pues esperabamos yer una
obra de caracter sectario, un fotodrama
comdn, una pelicula como otra de tan
tas, pero afortunadamente nos equivo-
camos, confesan1os que fu6 una sor-
presa agradable para nosotros.
La obra en- verdad es soberbia uno de
esos dramas fuera de 10 ordinario; des-
nudo por complete de los artifcios de
la camara que tanto contribuyen la
Illusion del expectador; NADIA de imposi-
bilidades; de inverosimilitudes, sin Ia
suntuosidad de lujosos cuadros que tan
to abundan en- los fotodramas que
tanto nos llenan ell ojo.

a cargo del talentoso actor sefior Will

Los puntos flosoficos que surgen en-

los Ell interes que aumenta medida
que Sc suceden las escenas es en- verdad
prodigioso. De aqui ell que esta obra re-
cibiera la ovaci6n que tuvo entire los
muchos connotados caballeros presen
tes ALI.
Cada escena es un drama, y este con-
junto de dramas y de confictos hacen
una obra que sin abusar de la palabra
podemos califcarlo como COLOSSAL.
Tomando impresiones con los concu-
rrentes, pudimos notar que no hubo uno
que al pretender juzgar ell desenlace
del drama no Sc equivocara.
Todos esperabamos un final como 10
habfamos anticipate en- nuestra mente,
pero ell fecundo autor de la obra Sc apar
to por complete de 10 conventional, de
10 comtn, para darnos sorpresa tras sor-
presa.
Felicitamos calurosamente los pro-
pietarios de tan hermosa production, y
ojala que estos encomios sinceros, sirvan
de aliento para que nos ofrezcan otras
obras del arte mudo de .igual interes.
