On The Screen

MURRAY

Lovers of good singing and dancing will find the Murray the place to go thia week where Tom Lindsay and his lady bugs are the attraction. This is one of the best musical tabloids on the road this season and packed houses should be the rule for the three days. The girls in the act are possessed of good voices and nimble feet while the comedy in the act is clean and wholesome. Mr. Lindsay being a comedian of exceptional ability. The numbers are all new and bound to be popular with the audience.

Man Who Stints and Does Not Give to U ttermost Worse Than Draft Slacker

To the People of Indiana: We are in the world's great struggle for human freedom. If Germany wins, the fate of Belgium, Servia, Roumanla and Russia will at last be ours; cities destroyed and pillaged, the land laid waste, the women outraged, the men slaughtered or pressed into slavery on foreign soil. Think not that we are too great to be invaded. Russia has nearly twice our population and more than three times our territory, yet Russia 13 helpless today under the terrible war machine organized during the last forty years for the purpose of conquering the world We cannot consign American to subjugation even though we may not our

selves see the day when the yoke is fastened up the neck of our people. We cannot let our children be selves. We must fight it out now and fight to the end. Every man who can serve should be eager to go to the front and those of us who cannot should be willing to sacrifice, if need be, every hour of our time, every cent of our property, all our personal convenience and comfort and all our most cherished tims. The thing to do at this moment is to loan every dollar we can to the goverment. , The man who stints and "will not give to the uttermost is far worse than the slacker who tries to avoid the draft William Dudley Foulke.

REDMOND OPPOSES DRAFTING OF IRISH (By Associated Press i LONDON, Wednesday. April 10. Irishmen maintain the right to say whether they shall be conscripted or not. Captain William A. Redmond, son of the late John E. Redmond, declared today in his first speech in the house of commons since he was elected to the constituency formerly held by his father. His speech was during discusion of the government man power bilL The captain was in military uniform and occupied his father's old seat in the house. In 1914. he said, Ireland was almost ablaze with enthusiasm on the side of the allies, but the sentiment of the Irish people had since changed toward the war, owing to distrust of tho British government and in the word of British ministers. By the government's present action the Ireland of tomorrow, he added, would be in open hostility to the war. It would require, armies in Ireland to recruit battalions, while if the government trusted Ireland, that trust would not be betrayed. Captain Redmond warned the house that if the government pursued its present policy there

would soon be no Irish party in the house of commons, but there would be a much harder nut to crack Ireland. ;
