AIT C7XZZH dlAKB" By AUDRED BUNCH ! It doesn't much matter what one is looking for, chiefly, in the tremendous film epic, "Abraham Lincoln Whatever it Is, he will be sure to find it. - And, moreover. it is bound to find something is him,: too. X And that is about the biggest response he is capable of giving. ' A large guest-audience present yesterday morning at the pre-viewing lived, some for the first time, and some for. the second time, through one of the ' most dramatic visualizations of the nation's- history": 1 If one has a tendency toward research work, he will find abounding satisfaction time and again. He will revel at lh sight of the old shovel on whicl the future president did his "iigger in' "; in the way the son of Thom as and Nancy Lincoln got his name; what Mary Todd confident ly surmised a whole halt decade before her marriage, and who it was, anyway, that , gave Lincoln this idea about growing a beard. The love idyll between Abraham Lincoln and Anne Rutledge, the loveliest girl in all New Salem, i a drama apart. He who. sees Lincoln as standing for- all that ' is typical ' and trium phant in human character will be glad for the gamut that honor and justice and mercy may run in the life of a school-boy without any school, a rail splitter, a grocery clerk, a post-master, a husband, a father, a president of the United States. If this regard has been great before, it can only be more so after seeing the picture, t It hasn't been in Lincoln's life alone that many have had to put on the cap and bells in order to divert themselves ' from a heart that is breaking. Perhaps , that Is one reason the drama is so moving. He who sees not in the charac ter of the man, but in the events that encompass him. a philosophy of history. will be engrossed to the quick in. what took place between the years of 1809, when on Febru ary 12, a perilous blizzard swirled about the cabin on Rock Spring farm where a -mother, two days without food, lies with her new born babe, and 1865 when the whole country' is startled at the ghastly mingling of .orchestra strains and pistol shot. "Abraham ' Lincoln," a First National picture, and opening to day at the Oregon theater to con tinue for three days, is heartily endorsed by practically every club fn Salem. The Better FOms com mittee of the American Associa tion of University Women is re ceiving the splendid cooperation of Mr. Stille, the manager, in bringing an' important group ' of pictures to Salem. v In speaking again"of "Abraham Lincoln it isn't the sort of film one wants to talk about volubly. That is like clapping when the moment is too .'intense, too big. Yet one wants to feel sure that all his friends are going to see it, not for any personal satisfaction that it is going to bring him, but be cause he would' feel that' some thing vital, something vast, had been left out of their lives if they missed it. ' " . Not only representatives from various local clubs, but the tesi dents of the Old People's home and the GAR comrades were in the audience - for a successful pre viewing.

C. Nelson, princi pal of the Salem high school. The matter of teams, question and other matters have been ar ranged, but the prohibitive ques tion of expense has not been set tled. At first the Salem, Mass school wanted to send three men bff the tfeam. but due to the re quest of the local organization the team- was cut down to two men and the debate coach. The elimi nation" of the third man has cut the expense down to- a minimum. but even with that the difficulty Is to be faced In securing the funds. v I v l - Practically all the money in the high school funds has been placed at work, and It is up to the school officials to get the money from some other source. From all considerations the ex pense of the trip can be cut to about $1000, of which the eastern school will pay one half. This would leave the local 'high school to pay their, share 6f the expense in addition to the entertainment of the visiting team. "We would have to depend very largely upon the business men of the city," declared the principal yesterday, "and they. are crowded to support a number of projects already.; rj It was pointed out that the big debate -would . detract from the state championship debates i by eliminating some of the high class debaters, of the Salem team. The state question would have to take a Jack seat. In order to meet the ErBSSSSTi2i easrenr ream, tnerocarteam would have to put on 'the two strongest men to handle the question. As result' the work on the state question would be shortened. Thij is a problem facing the Salem team but they think they can overcome it" some way, although it j will mean slighting : the state i question.' . . - " ; A ;.'. The two high schools decided upon tne question or tne federal child labor amendment, - and will j be stated so as not to apply to any particular state. Originally the easterners wanted to defend the stand taken by Massachusetts in rejecting the amendment. It was shewn that the advantage of the eastern team could not be faced Lby the local team. ; 'i. Students are working on the proposition of securing money for the trip, but from all indications the trip will fail. ; The original plan called for a return debate be tween the two schools in 1926. the contest being slated as a part of the 300th anniversary of : the founding of Salem, Mass. firing of torpedoes. Destroyers -darted back and forth, simulating the ramming, torpedoeing, train ing rifles and setting depth charg es in attack ' and . defense. The new scout cruisers of the defend ing forces took part in the attack; Divisions darted about in devious lines and all' conditions of battle were present. . One hundred and nine United States navy fighting craft, dark ened in battle array maneuvers. formed the mightiest demonstra tion of night naval - warfare ever engaged in by American forces in the Pacific. Observers aboard each ' vessel surveyed its move ments and staffs of the high com mands were on the alert through out the night .to study the results of contact and engagement. Messages, ' orders, reports of positions, poured through in code and the fortified cities, aggregat ing 25,000 men, were active with burning excitement. All . naviga tional dangers of battle were pres ent as dreadnaughts, cruisers, de stroyers, submarines, mine sweep ers and auxiliary craff worked in and out in perfect tactical posi tions at all speeds in the moonlit waters: That many of these vessels were not actually rammed and sunk is a monumental - demonstration of efficient seamanship. At 5:25 o'clock this morning. Admiral Coontz dispatched the command ending the battle and terminating the problem after nine hours In which the fighters had been engaged.'
