In which Tneaa Ban asanmee tha role of Egyptian tamptreaa, la declared to be the most elaborate presentation of a film scenic drama that has aver been attempted. Tha expense In volved In making the picture was tremendous. It being announced that the production cost $500,000. Those who hare seen the plctuiitatlon of "Cleopatra," declare It can easily be CONFLICTING IDEAS To say that the war sprang f r jrn lb deaira of Austria-Hungary to oppress Serbia, or from the con flirtln ambitions of Russia and Germany In Southeastern Europe, or from commercial rivalry between Germany and Great Britain, Is sim ply to delude oneself with super ficial appearances. It Is a case of camouflage. The cause of the war and the reason that the war was In evitable (as we can now see) Is a conflict of ideals in the life of the world. It Is clear now that the old notion of a world-dominating power was not dead. This was the notion which sent Alexander the Great and his army into Asia. Thia was the nation which took possession of the mind of Charlemagne. This was the notion which harnessed to its service the dynamic energy and the military genius of Napoleon Bona parte. This notion was not, as men generally thought In 1114, dead and gone and a matter for the historian alone. It was first slumbering and then taking active form in the minds of the ruling caste of the German empire. With them it was based upon a philosophy of history and of life which made the German people, like the Hebrews of old. the chosen partners of God himself in the sub jection and civilization of the world When this notion took possession of so powerful,, so active-minded, and highly disciplined a people as the Germans, it became only a ques tion of time when It must find Itself In a life and death struggle with the opposing principle. This is the dominating fact which stands out above and beyond all particular ex planations of the origin of the war. The war Is at bottom a final strug gle between the principle of world domination and the principle of a group of friendly, cooperating na tions, all equal In sovereignty and in dignity In the eye of the world's law, however varied they may be In resources and In power.
