LUTHERANS DEMAND
LAW ENFORCEMENT
(Chicago Daily News, Oct. %, 1920

Chicago Daily News, Oct. %. 1924
That law enforcement "has broken
down all along the line" was asserted in
the report of the committee of moral and
social welfare of the United Lutheran
Church III America to the church, which
continued its biennial convention today at
the Edgewater Beach hotel.
The convention adopted the resolution
OF the committee declaring it to be the
duty OF loyal citizens ito abide by the
Constitution and laws passed by Con-
gress relating to its enforcement"
The foremost of our domestic prob
lens right now is that of law enforce
ment' said the committee, of which DIR.
L. p. Pfatteicher of Reading, Pa, is
chairman. Prohibition enforcement IS
simply phase Of a complicated and
nasty situation, complicated because law
enforcement has broken down all along
the line, nasty because disclosures have
implicated government officials and have
shaken the confidence of the people in
their government.
NlyHlS IN6eQ OF hour
he drastic measures adopted by the
government have had beneficial effect
but it is nevertheless true that we are not
enforcing the law in our nation as It
ought to be enforced. And it is equally
true that much 1awlessness that has moth
ing to do with prohibition is being made
to masquerade behind bugaboo which
has been created by the friends of liquor.
The need for more drastic enforcement
OF the law is crying need of the hour
1T IS also true as suggested by one of
our judges quoted in a news item that we
have carried the thought of pardon too
far and given the 1ow-brow politicians a
leverage which they are using with ven
geance.
What We need is higher regard for
law by lawyers themselves, more rapid
and more heroic functioning by many of
our courts, and willingness on the part
of Christian citizens to cease being de-
liberate law breakers in business, in clubs
and in their homes.

appointed on salary, is DIR. d. Popescu-
Hagiul. the head of the Orthodox Cross,
the recently formed dry organization of
Romania. Thereby hangs a sort of
tale which l will proceed to tell.
Early in August Mr.. Viutela Bratam,
the Minister OF Finance, and the Metro
politan, the head of the Romanian
church, each announced themselves pub
licly in favor of government monopoly
OF the whole liquor business but with
different motives. The Minister OF FL
nance saw in it chance to improve the
sorry condition OF Romania finances, but
the metropolitan saw some chance of
improving the moral condition OF the peo-
pie which is suffering badly because of
the common and iadiscriminatc sale of
Intoxicating liquor.
In this situation the Ministry of
Health saw some SORT of a possible
chance of improving the health of the
people which was also suffering through
drink. But the people had never before
been confronted with any serious pro-
posal for the government taking any ac-
ton toward regulating or interfering
with the common sale of strong drink. A
campaign of education was necessary, SO
the Ministry of Health started the game
by appointing DIR. Popescu as the official
government Temperance agitator" on
salary for that purpose. And now DR..
Popescu is on the job writing bulletins,
newspaper articles, pamphlets and bro
chures on the evil effect OF alcohol on the
human system. Such thing is a real
novelty in Romanan life and the cam
paign is attracting much attention. One
of the leading journalists OF Bucharest
came TO me asking for material for his
dry campaign and he got it, of course.
Those who are promoting the campaign
are working for different immediate pur-
poses; one set seeking the financial profit
to the government treasury while the
other set does not care so much about
that, as they are more interested in put
ting some sort of crimp in the opera
tons and arrogance OF John Barlcycorn.
But both see and hope for curtailment
of the amount of drink consumed.
Before the war, there was beginning
of temperance operations around Bucha-
rest by the Good Tefnpars who estab-
lished two or three lodges under the in
spiration of DIR. Auguste Forel, of
Switzerland, who has established so
many concerns of the l. O. G.. T. in CEN
trail Europe But these lodges wete
mostly made up of Germans and the rit-
ual was conducted in the German Ian
guage But these beginnings were all
swallowed up in the great war. After
the war, the Germans became about as
popular in Romania as a porcupine in
ladies' aid society and the Good Temp
lars were smeared with the, German
name. So, some months ago. the re-
mains of the Good Templar movement
was reorganized into what is called the
Orthodox Cross, at the head of which is
DIR. PopescuH agiul, with Mr.. Aurelan
Jonescu, former leader of the Good
Templars, as right hand man. This new
organization, which is purely Romanian
in character, has been growing rapidly
and now has more than 200 members.

OLDHONESTEAD ! CAPITOL'S FILM Theodore Roberts Heads Roster Of Stars
 In Cast

The phrase "all starr has been much abused, but the cast Of ".The Old Home stead" which comes to the Capital theatre next Monday and Tuesday may truthfully be said to be of that calibre. Theodore Roberts, George Fawcett, T. Roy Barnes, Fritzi Ridgway, Harrison Ford, Kathleen O'Eonnor, James Ma son, Ethel Wales and others make up a list that is hard to Ssurpass.
 This Paramounti picture is based on Denman ThoIhpson's famous play in which that celebrated actor appeared for thirty-two years, but is far more extensive in character, and presents a great drama with plenty of comedy and smashing climax.
 I The story is familiarehow the son of Uncle Josh is falsely accused of theft and goes away to meet with stir ring adventure and finally to be re stored to his home and sweetheart. But there is far more than that to. the story. There is adventure, love, hu- man character in abundance, humor that is rich and spontaneous and pa tlIos that is deep and convincing. Tears and laughter abound.

great. He has made magnificent job of this picture, displaying q positive genius for composition, for mass effect and for the development of drama by pictorial methods.
 Mir. Chaney, who up to now has been far from an obscure player, imperson- ates "Quasimodo," the poor. twisted dwarf who rang the bells of Notre Dame and served as fulcrum on which Victor Hugo balanced the plot of his novel. This performance tran scends anything that Mir. Chaney has ever done before. His makeup is un- canny and his spiritual realization of the role unusual, In ting this weird character he has used both-~ his make up box and his head to tremendous ad- vantage.
 That great actor, Ernest Terrence, is also present, appearing as Clopin, the king of the Underworld, and does some remarkable work. Every, member of the cast deserves praise for their ex- callent work. There is Patsy Ruth Mil Ter, an adorable creature, playing the role of Esmeralda, the dancing girl ]; Norman Kerry, Fully Marshall, Nigel de Brulier, Brandon Hurst. John Cos. sar, Kate Lester, Gladys Brockwell and Eulalie Jensen.

 'sThe Hunchback of Notre Dame" a picture as beautiful, as profoundly stirring, as naything ever hoped for Has taken Victor Hugo's famous novel rand converted it into a production that will reach argreat many more people and impress them more deeply than the book ever did. It is an indisputabiy fine achievement. This production will be presented at the Trinanon this week for the first time in Birmingham at popu- lar prices. ''The Hunchback" is the mammoth production that played in Jefferson theatre a few months ago at, $1.65 admission. ssThe, Hunchback of Notre Dame" has taken Victor Hngo's famous novel scale. The settings are magnificent be- yond words and stamped with authen- ticity and fidelity to detail that places them far above anything that has come out of Hollywood heretofore. So much for the mechanical details of the production.
 Turning our attention to the flesh and blood element in tbe ensemble, we find that two names stand out boldly Lon Chaney, the star and Wallace Worsley, the director. Mir. Worsley has done his job so thoroughly that he climbs to a place among the movie

COMING WAR

And if we agree with that which COM
rade Lenin wrote concerning the ma
tional wars resulting from the Yer
sailles treaty, we shall doubtless see
that at this moment the millions of
Germans of Germany and Austria will
not stand by with folded arms and
quietly wait the issue of the war be-
tween England and France. Nor will
the suppressed nationalities in Yugo-
slavia, Poland, Roumania, Czecho-
Slovakia remain Indifferent, and the
flames of national revolts, rebellions
and wars can spring up in Galicia,
Bessarabia, Pennsylvania, Carpatho-
Russia, Macedonia, etc.
The Japanese-Amerlcan Antagonism
and the War in the Pacific Ocean.
The spectre Of an imperialist war
is not only arising in Europe. The
aggravation of the Japanese-American
relations in consequence Of the inter
diction of japanese immigration into
the United States, an interdiction
which aroused greatest Indignation
among the broad masses, brings the
question Of Japanese-American rela-
tions again to the forefront. In the
period preceding the Conference of
Washington, the relations between
Japan and America were already so
strained that a war between these
two countries seemed to be inevitable.
Since the conference many pacifsts
have declared that the danger of a
Japanese-American war is now re-
moved. Harsh reality has, however,
soon dispersed these pacifist illusions.
When the United States started the
construction of the Panama canal, il
became apparent that America was
attempting to realize the program
formulated by Theodore Roosevelt in
the following words: "The command
of the Pacific Ocean belongs to the

United States"
In this way the United States col
lide with Japan, for whom China is
the chief market, which not only
absorbs the products of Japanese in
dustry but also represents the chief
field of investment for Japanese sur
plus capital.
If the assertion of several military
specialists be right, that a duel be-
tween America and japan presents
insurmountable technical difficulties
which under certain circumstances,
altho not preventing the outbreak of
war, nevertheless will render impos-
sible definite issue in favor of either
the~one or the other party. then the
character of the problem of the Paci-
fic Ocean is even more tragic. Be-
cause it follows from this that Ameri-
ca will not be alone in attacking jap
an but win be in alliance with Aus
tralia, New Zealand and perhaps also
with England, China, etc. If England
in her preparations for war against
Germany could obtain such allies as
Russia and France, not to speak OF
such smaller states as Portugal, then
America will be able to find the nee
iessary assistance when the occasion
arises.
The war in the Pacific Ocean will
also be accompanied, like any Europ-
can war, with big national upheavals
in the shape Of revolts, rebelIions,
perhaps even of great national revo-
lutions in a whole series of Asiatic
countries. The war will arouse the
masses suppressed by Japan and
Korea, in the Isle OF Formosa, in Sa.
chalin and will also not be without
effect in the American Philippines,
French Indo-China and British India,
etc.

The refusal of England to withdraw
from Europe, the concentration Of the
world policy Of Great Britain upon
the European Continent. was bound to
be followed by an aggravation of Eng
lo-French relations. Hence, the new
preparations of these two countries,
hence the increase of the air forces
of England, the creation of new air
ship bases, the establishment of
new permanent arsenal in the north
Of Great Britain and the extension of
the military depots in London, hence
the demonstrations in the Mediter-
ranean (the manoeuvres of a great

over the route from France to her

approaching OF England to Italy and
Spain. Hence on the other hand. the

which are intended to be placed along

America, and Japan at the present
moment prevent the approaching
war? To this question Comrade Len
in replies in the document already
quoted as follows:
'It must be definitely explained how
great is the secrecy surrounding the
birth Of a war and how helpless is
an ordinary labor Organization in face
of a really impending war. 1t must
be explained over and over again in
a thoroly concrete manner, how the
situation was during the last war
and as to the reasons why the situa-
tion could not be otherwise. Special
attention must be called to the fact
that the question of defense of ma
tive country will inevitably be put
and that the overwhelming majority
of the workers will inevitably solve
this question in favor Of their own
bourgeoisie."
Wherein lies the only real means
of fight against war?
In the maintenance and extension
Of an illegal organization for the per-
manent work against war of all re-
volutionaries participating in the war.
The Communists cannot prevent the
outbreak Of war, but they must
strive to change this war into a civiI
y ar, the world revolution.
