THE PLAYS MESSAGE OF PEACE
IF THIS GRAPHIC PRESENTMENT serves no other purpose, its message for universal peace marks it of great importance. 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.

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.
