Last of Chronicles of
An1erlca. .

TUESDAY afternoon at the Ambas.
sador Theater will be shown the
last two of the Yale University
Press Chronicles of America photo
plays, Alexander Hamilton" and
Dixie" These unique historical
films, which have been presented
every Tuesday during March and
April, have aroused great interest in
Washington, and the series of matt
nees sponsored by the Yale Club and
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton have been a significant success.
The public service and education de-
partment of the CrandalI theaters,
also. in cooperation with the Yale Uni
versity Press, has rendered distinct
public service in making possible the
presentation of these historic films.
The final showing, therefore, should
meet with gratifying response. predi-
Gated upon the attendance throughout
the past two months.
Alexander Hamilton and Dixie
are two of the most remarkable films
of the entire series. They treat vastly
different periods in the annals of
America both of which are full of
rare human interest and absorbing
drama. Hamilton" discloses the -Iaan-
ner in which Washington's youthful
Secretary of the Treasury took hold of
the financial affairs of the new gov
ernment and established order, stabil-
ity and public confidence at time
when il appeared doubtful that the
new government would survive.
Dixie" the second film to be shown
is declared the true story of the South
behind the lines during the war be-
tween the States, emphasizing the
heroic part played by the women of
the Confederaey during the years of
the bitter struggle. This is claimed
to be one of the most impressive pic
lures in the series. 1t traces the eX-
periences of what might be termed a
typical Southern family from the time
it's men ride off to the war until the
final months when. the courage of his
cause unbroken, its spirit undaunted
and it's cause hopeless, Gen. Lee, to
prevent further sacrifices, met with
Gen. Grant at AppomattoX to arrange
terms for the surrender of the Army
of Northern Virginia.

with her inimitable rendition of the
role of 'Lisbeth in Augustus Thomas

"THE MOSCOW SPIRIT"
To the Memory of the Murdered
Workers and Students of Shanghai

Of the Times, 1--WE have always said
that our conservatives work for Boil
shevism." And this also is true. The
conservatives, or rather the reaction
aries-all capitalist parties are now
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS an enormous
historical force which is supported by
capital and gives expression to its
chief interests. Macdonald is right
in that there would be no Bolshevism,
either in the east or in the west, If
the forces Of capital did not exist.
AS long, however, as the force and
the yoke Of capital does exist, the
Moscow spirit" will make its way
thruout the world.
For the adjustment" Of events in
Shanghai, and in order to counterfeit
the influence Of Moscow" the liberals
and mensheviki suggest the idea Of
an international conference on the
Chinese question, but they are shut
ting their eyes to the fact that at
this conference the decision would lie
in the hands Of the same gentlemen
at whose command workers and stu
dents are shot down in Shanghai.
DOSSIBLY Macdonald has a pro-
\ gram ready for this conference.
If not, we can submit our own to him.
1t is very simple. The Chinese house
belongs to the Chinese. No one has a
right to enter this house without
knocking at the door. The owner has
the right to admit none but friends
and to refuse entrance to those whom
he considers his enemies. This is
