Assurance that toward our nation Thy

Not for the yeoman fathers who won
us the right to be free;
Not for our homes and hearthstones,
though soul of our souls they be;
Not that we dwell In safety, and shel
tered from war’s alarms,
But, mothers of men, we thank Thee
that our sons may die In our
arms.

frage. We wired our concurrence and
asked if she applied the same views
to the prohibition amendment. She
promptly and unequivocally replied
that while an ardent prohibitionist, her

Rain or Shine, Watch Crowds
Pour in for First Episode in
“The Exploits of Elaine.”
In part, here's what Margaret I.
MacDonald says in The Moving Pic
ture World in her criticism of the new
serial, "The Exploits of Elaine," the
first episode of which will he shown
at The Strand tomorrow, Tuesday;
"Following on the success of ‘The
Perils of Pauline,’ the new Pathe-
Hearst Serial, 'The Exploits of Elaine’
from the pen of Arthur B. Reeve and
picturized by Charles L. Goddard, bids
fair to surpass in popularity its pre
decessor, judging from the briskness
with which the first two-reel instal
ment, entitled 'The Clutched Hand,'
strikes the imagination.
"In this first instalment the audi
ence is given Just enough daylight on
the mysterious forms and happenings
which characterize the story to arouse
the most rabid interest as to what is
to follow. From the mysterious death
of Mr. Dodge, the wealthy president
of an insurance company, and which,
as the audience ig shown, is brought
about by the agent of ‘The Clutched
Hand,’ through some mysterious use
of an electric current and the fumes
of a certain chemical diffused into
the room above, where Dodge is in
the act of using the telephone, by
means of a connection with the heat
ing register, the clever scientific de
tective work of "Craig Kennedy” is
brought into play, when he discovers
with astonishment that the finger
prints on the safe and articles handled
by the murderer are an exact duplicate
of his own.”
