Battle Cry
of Peace
A CALL TO ARMS AGAINST WAR!
An Inspiring Appeal to National Patriotism Based on
Hudson Maxim's Defenseless America
9
Reds i
"The Battle Cry of Peace" is the first motion picture to
be used to exploit an important, nation-wide propaganda.
Its object is to bring to the notice of the greatest number
of people in the shortest possible time the defenselessness
of our country; not only to make the American people
realize our condition as a nation, but to show them also
the consequences to which this comedy may lead, and
finally to show them how to remedy this condition.
Scores of prominent Americans in Army, Navy and
Administrative1 circles of our government have contrib
uted to this great production. Notable among its spon
sors and endorsers are Dr. Lyman Abbott, the Honorable
Lindley M. Garrison, Major-General Leonard Wood and
Admiral George Dewey, representing the Church, the
State, the Army and the Navy.
30,000 Soldiers, 17 Aeroplanes, Sub
marines, and Dreadnaughts, Machine
Guns and Field Artillery.

TUB MOTIIEK OF TIIK MAX
After man, the Lord created
Her, a, being sanctified;
In Hia wladom He endowed her
With a grace to man denied.
Clave her a form of lissome
beauts.
Heart of tenderness divine,
Oh, the weakest creature ever
Sought compuaaliin at her shrine.
Here the tar -hat listened fondly
Kor that fei-ble cry at birth:
Hers the pain n,an fathomed
never
Woman heritage on earth.
Hers the hand that guided ever
Upward to his manhood strong;
Laired his bbrow and smoothed
his pillow
As the night i rept slow along.
Aye, forever, down the ages
Shall the mother peerless be;
Hy her tenderness redeeming-
lifting up humanity.
Sacrtflc ng self, ennobling,
By example, woman's place;
Teawhing other to succeed her,
'Senile aavlor of the race).
When the gathering ahadows
Imtthen
And the sun la settling fast,
CmMsM her mlaalon ended,
Weary hands to rest at last.
By Hannah DoPPfnnna, In the
N. B o V Journal.
VHETHER or not Villa is
"ffr dead is an open ques
tion. It will take sub
stantial confirmation to con
vince the public of his demise.
If he is dead, however, he is
where he belongs and the raid
on Columbus is avenged. If he
is dead the Mexican problem
i is solved for the present as far
jas this country is concerned,
j If he is dead he will be mourn
jed by those Mexicans who be
jlieve in him. He will be
mourned, even more so per
ihaps, by those Americans who
wanted to see him make all the
j trouble he could not only for
iCarranza but for our adminis
tration so as to force a con
quest of Mexico by the United
j States.
If Villa is dead it will be sad
I news for our tories.
INCOMPREHENSIBLE
2& ORTLAND has had some
JS3 jolts of late and they
T" have awakened substan
tial citizens to the need of ac
tion. There are signs Portland
is going to see to it that real
water transportation is estab
lished on the upper Columbia.
It seems Portland's only hope
of saving her wheat business
But of course a million boats
on the upper Columbia could
not get Umatilla county's
wheat unless there is a way of
getting that wheat to the
river. Meanwhile we have a
$980,000 bond proposition be
fore the people and thus far
the generals in charge of the
matter have provided for no
outlet from the wheat belt to
the Columbia, though the situ
ation has been pointed out
many times and the value of
such a freight road is obvious.
The East Oregonian fails to
understand their line of
thought.
COMMON SENSE CALLS FOR
WILSON'S REELECTION
flL ATURDAY night's dem
fy onstration in Pendleton
proved what is also ob
served elsewhere that Presi
dent Wilson has an immense
popularity in the hearts of the
people and has the confidence
and esteem of hosts of repub
licans as well as of the forces
in his own party. In fact there
is more sincerity for him on the
part of some republicans than
on the part of some democrats.
A republican supporting the
president does so out of a gen
uine sentiment for him. There
are democrats who shout his
praises out of political advisa
bility. The reason why there is
general confidence in the pres
ident are simple.
1 He has put through a
constructive legislative pro
gram of vast benefit to the
country, the most important
feature being the new banking
law. That this and other items
if legislation have been vastly
beneficial to the people as a
whole, though often disliked
1... ,.,...w.l tnAMAola f 'I T I, ,
proven just as often as the sub-,
ject is debated on its merits.
2 The country under Pres
ident Wilson is enjoying the
greatest prosperity in many
years.
3 The president is a man
of peace and wishes the nation j
to remain at peace. He is no
weakling but stands firm for,
all important American riehtsj
under international law. He is;
for greater military nrebared-:
ness, but he is no militarist. He
prefers to get results by diplo--
macy rather than by slaughter
and he gets results, despite the
sneers of those who rail at him
because he does not sit strad
dle of a cannon and wave a
sabre at every country with
which we may have some tem
porary differences.
President Wilson has mad
good and the logic of events
calls for his reelection. To
ask his defeat is to ask people
to throw away their common
sense and jeopardize the coun
try's best interests for the sake
o a partisanship that deserves
no such consideration.
