+pedient in the present circum-
stances"
Many cinemas have booked the
picture and others are anxious to
obtain it. The question was raised
today as to whether they should re-
spect the ban or repudiate the board
Of censors which they themselves es-
tablished in their own interests. Dis
obedience would entail no legal con-
sequences as neither the censors nor
the government possess the fegal
power TO prohibit the showing of the
picture.
Herbert Wilcox. the producer, in
dignantly said that when the produc-
tion was announced seven months
ago and during the preparation Of
the picture no objection was raised.
He declared now that 30.00i pounds
(Sl50,000) has been spent on it, the
film is forbidden in Difference to a
foreign power.
Wilcox asserted he would exhibit
Dawn" in England and Berlin and
is confident he will be able 10 get
theaters in which to show 1t. He
cited the testimony of George Ber-
nard Shaw, who said:
"The only question requiring con-
sideration is whether the film as a
work of art is worthy of her edith
CaveD and you may take my word
for it. that it is"
BERLIN, Feb. 21.-(P)-News that
a license had been refused to the
film Dawn" on Nurse Edith Cavell
il welcomed by German newspapers
and political circles generally.
A semi-official note says that the
decision is to be welcomed from ev-
cry point of view, that IL is fresh
proof Of Britain's time-honored chiv-
airy and shows how strong is her
sense Of desire for understanding
among nations. The note also ex-
presses the hope that the British at
titude will not be without influence
on the Belgian authorities who must
soon consider licensing the film.

THE TENTH ARMIsTICE DAY.

NEXT Saturday the Nation mourns her soldiers dead

Yet, do we realize the full burden that we bear? It
not enough that have she will for peace 1t is not

War or peace is determined by the course of govern

in the long by the expressed opinion the people,
people eager for peace with honor will not uniu.hy
be plunged into war. What the people do for
peace? Think well of neghbors Give the stranger

patient of misunderstanding Be proud but ntolerant

PROSPEROUS YEAR AHEAD

PREDICTIONS that this year would witness slow
ing down in business compared with 1927 have al
ready been confuted and November and December no
doubt will put 1928 ahead of the preceding twelve
months in business volume
1t will be recalled that about year ago the perpet-
ualy down n-the mouth had forebodings that this was
to be bad for the railroads. which, combined with
building slump and the arrival of the automobile in
du1ry at the saturation point shut down many
OF the steel mills Apparently the only they did
not predict panic fear of creating prematurey
This time the business pessimsts played the wrong
horse Railroad freight loadngs have records 1t has
been year OF bumper and in the MAN, favorable
markets. Automobile manufacturers have established
new records for earnings and production Building oper
atoms have continued above normal throughout the
country. And the United States Steel Corporation re-
ports record earnings.
Signs more favorable for prosperous 1929 than
they were year ago for prosperous 1928

ished in intensity.
The disaster 40 stunned the simple
fclk Of the countryside that gen
darmes and firemen sent TO the

il necessary to use force to drive
them to places Of safety.
The three casualties were a father.

They had returned 70 their home 20

slept the lava surrounded the dwell
ing. Fellow townSmen were forced
to watch death overtake the three
from beyond the lake OF lava.
The spectacle of relentlessly flow
ing lava seemed TO exercise terri
BILE fascination on men and beasts.
A number Of cats were lured into
Mascali by the fiery sight and de-
stroved by the molten mass. Birds
which hovered over the river of lava
were caught by the fumes and flut-
tered down into the fire like dead
leaves.
Mn poor peasant N0nitH NtaA TUT
begged the authorities for permiS-
sion to disinter the body Of one Of
their relatives so a. TO bury X IN 2

made il necessary that the request
be refused.
The principal stream Of lava was
flowing in the direction az the rail
way station at Mascali. Altho<h II
