"Soldiers' Oath" Brim Full of Great
Feature Moments.
William Fox's splendid sensation,
"A Soldier's Oath" tfdaturing Wil
liam Farnum the $100,000 star, will
be at Sherry's theatre tonight. In
realism, scenic effects and strength
of appeal the film surpasses photo
play of any kind, its friends say.
Features to be seen include the prison
fire in -wihich real convicts appear,
the bursting of a 42 centimeter gun,
and a group of other features. Its
equal is seldom produced.
AT THE ARCADE.
ARCADE FILM PLAY MAKES
PLEA FOR DEFENSE.
(By Heywood Brun In N. Y. Tribune)
War is the tihome of "The Rntt.la
Cry of Peace," the feature film which
was produced last night at the Vita
graph Theatre. The picture shows a
war not at wireless and cable .range
but well within the corporate limits
of New York.
"The Battle Cry of Peace" is frank
ly a propaganda play for preparation,
ana as sucn it is always earnest, al
ways persistont and at times decid
edly eloquent. The personal inter
est in the drama is lost now and
again, but the central theme of the
necessity of armament is always in
mind.
Enormous crowds are employed in
the scenes of pnnic and big masses of
tToops pictured as they charge in the
face of shrapnel. There is also a
large scale naval battle and some de
cidedly interesting views showing the
manoeuvring of. submarines. But the
best of all the picture concerns one
of the horrors of pence the shoot-the-shutes
at Coney Island. It was a
picture taken from the prow of a boat
as it came down the long slide, and
when the craft struck the wntcr an
entire houseful (of spectators wtos
bounced high, in the air once, twice
and again.
The Coney Island scone is shown
before the declaration of war when
everything is peace in the homes of
the Harrisons and Che Vandergriffs.
In particular' peace rests bn the home
of the Vandergriffs, for the head of
that family is an advocate of disarm
ament. An enemy spy urges him on
in the work. John ' Harrison, who
loves Virginia Vandergriff, is an advo
cate of preparation, but his words
are little heeded and the dread day
comes when there are no box scores
on tihe first page of (the1 evening
papers, but only war in Cheltenham
types of about 200 point.
The announcement of the beginning
of hostilities is made in a salmon
sheet which has been the greatest
thorn in the side of the German
armies ever since the war began, and
we for one were inclined to doubt the
authenticity of the ireport until a shell
came in the window of Harmony Hall
ana di-oko up a peace meeting. Shells
ously interfering with the growth
of the bush should bo .removed. The
tips of the limbs, however should
not be cut off nor should any young
wood that does not interfere with the
growth of the bush be removed. It
must be borne in mind that the blos
som buds for this yearns flowering
were formed last year, afid every
shoot removed takes off that much
of the prospective blossoms.
Trees and shrubs that bear their
flowers in midsummer and which
were not pruned in the fall may be
pruned at this time. Plants of this
sort are the Rose of Sharon and the
shrubby hydrangea. Where the larg
est possible mass effect is desired,
these plants srould be pruned but
little. If the aim is to secure the
largest nossibla trasses
i heads, last year's growth should be
prunea DacK to two or three eyes to
a stem. Such severe pruning, how
ever, is not conductive to the most
attractive development of shrubs.
Climbing roses should not be prun-,
ed at this time except for the re
moval of surplus or interfering
branches. Everv bit vf wH I
moved now reduces the amount of
bloom the plant will bear during the
coming season. Roses used in bord
er planting should be treated in ex
actly the same way as other shrubs,
except that many of these species
go houses, sheds, bridges and all in , VI1 be improved by having all their
the face of the devastating fire. The 01d yood cut away once in every five
guns of the harbor forts are shown
in action, but they are outraged bv
the fleet of the enemy and the army of
umanon lands in New York.
With the foe come the horrors.
John Harrison and Mr. Vandergriff,
the peace advocate, are shot. Harri
son subsequently recovers in miracu
lous fashion only to die of a bayonet
thrust. Virginia Vandergriff shoots
the enemy spy and in the most hor
rible scene of all Mrs. Vandereriff
kills her two daughters to save them
from drunken soldiers. The shooting
of the little girl by her mother is
quite the most horrible thing we have
ever seen on statre or screen . The
agony is piled on in a fearful fashion.
nut if the success of the campaign
for preparedness rests upon scaring
people into a realization of the needs
for defences we can stand any horrors
pictured for a good cause. Prepara
tion may keep our horrors on the
screen. Lay on Macduff, say we.

Pruning Time Here
Washington, D. C. A little early
care given to the pruning of orna
mental trees and snruhs during the
early part of March will do much to
control their growing and flowering
habits, and enable the home owner to
have well-formed plants and well
trained hedges or boundary plantings.
The pruning of ornamental trees and
shrubs is, in fact, one of the first
duties that may profitably be per-
