Morally and educationally it establishes the futility of armed conflict. A member of the senate of the United States expressed the foregoing sentiment. "Anyone contemplating war should see this picture," added the Senator. "I sincerely believe it will do more to deter people from engag ing in war than anytling written or spoken on the subject in years." Great care has been taken not to glorify battle. Even the music stops in its motif of glorification to sound the note of terror and desola tion which is the reap truth of war. Armies seldom settle disputed questions of state. But where they accomplish this much, in the wake of conflict arise newer and more terrible questions. But for the hatreds engendered in the civil war the suffering of the reconstruction period would never have been known.

VAUGHAN One of the most striking scenes of I "The Mirth of a Nation." coming to the Oregon, Is the surrender of iie at the historic McLean home In the vicinity of Appomatox courthouse. Donald Crisp Is coat for the role of fieri I'. H. Grant, while Lee Is enacted! by Howard Oaye. The members otj the staffs of the northern and south-j ern and southern commanders are I shown, and the tableaux presented; when the scene opens Is a reproduc- lon of the familiar painting of this occasion. It occurred April 9. 186 Lee had dressed for his last pub lic occasion with great care. Grant .r, the contrary lacked his full dress and appeared in the "fatigue" and dusty Jackboots of the hard cam palgn. It la well known that many sup porters of the defeated confederacy wished to prolong the struggle by means of a guerilla warfare similar to that used by the Hoera towards the close of the Anglo-hoer war. In fact John Wilkes Boots supposed thul In killing president Lincoln he would have the support of the south in a new struggle. But Lee was of a dif ferent temper He realised that th south ha'd been beaten In a fair strug gle on the fields of battle and that prolonging the fighting would merely add to the horrors anil miseries en dured by his people. Therefore, aft er the battle of Five Forks, he open ed negotiations with (Irant and on the morning of April 9th. under the luiil- ding apple trees of an Appomatox or-j chard were determined the terms of peare which were formally written j down at the Wilmer-McLean house ln the afternopn. When Oeneral Robert Lee wished' to make some marginal notes on thej papers of the final surrender, he ask ed the bystanders for a pencil. Htrnngc to say. not one of the nu merous officers and aides-de-camp was able to offer him one. At last, an officer of Lee's staff extracted a pock et inkstand and feather quill from his kit, and with the aid of these the his toric document was written and the names of Grant arid Lee affixed at the bottom. Afterwards an effort was made to arrest and Indict I,ee for treason, but (rant, who knew Lee's nobility of character and how he had fulfilled to the letter all the surrender obliga tions, prevented any such disgraceful se(ue tk the great event. 4'JtJsBUshIp Is Denied.
