NEO-MARXISM
LATEST "ISM'
German Socialists Gradu-
ally Turning to Pan-
€ Germanism.
By Associated Press.
London, July 22.—"Neo-Marxism" is
the name applied by the Frankfurter
Zeitung to the remarkable reaction
undergone by an apparently increasing
section of German Socialists, whereby
Karl Marx’s principles have been aban-
doned in favor of what is virtually
Ban-Germanism.
Thec hief organ of the new school is
the Glocke, of which the chief writer
is Dr. Paul Lensch. The Neue Zeit,
formerly in the hands of the Socialist
minority, is following in the same
course, trying also, with the hearty-
support of -the Pan-German papers, to
; give new meanings to Marx’s doctrines.
F The Vorwaerts and other official or-
| gans of the Socialist majority still pro-
t fess the "international" idea, although
i in practice they support the German
. government.
According to the Frankfurter Zei-
/ tung, much attention has been attracted
f to a book by Herr Renner, an Aus-
; trian-German, called “Marxism, War
and Internationale.” Renner denounces
! the "igoral jugdment point of view”
and regards war as the completion of
historical, and especially economic,
processes. He says:
“It is not impossible that in the
future also the world will find order
through warlike selection—that the
power which proves itself to be the
strongest organization is also sum-
moned by history- to perform the
greatest work of organization, and to
be by right the highest power, the
judge, administrator and law-giver of
the peoples.”
This appears to be the view of
Lensch and his supporters. They say
they are sick of “ethical flowers,” and,
the Frankfurter Zeitung puts it, “ridi-
cule any resolute will to peace and
peace by negotiation, and declare the
right of self-determination of the peo-
ples and parliamentarism to be barren
catchwords.”
The attempt, the Frankfurter paper
points out, to reconcile socialism with
Pan-Germanism is built upon the
theory that the only factors in the
world that really- matter are economic.
A CHILD GETS CROSS,
SICK AND FEVERISH
WHEN CONSTIPATED
Look, Mother! If tongue Is
coated clean little liver
and bowels.
If your little one's tongue is coated,
it is a sure sign the stomach, liver and
bowels need a gentle, thorough cleans-
ing at once.- When your child is cross,
peevish, listless, pale, doesn't sleep, eat
or act naturally; if breath is bad, stom-
ach sour, system full of cold, throat
sore, or if feverish, give a teaspoonful
of “California Syrup of Figs,” and in
a few hours all the clogged-up, con-
stipated waste, sour bile and undigest-
ed food will gently move out of the
bowels, and you have a well, playful
child again.
Sick children needn’t be coaxed to
take this harmless “fruit laxative.”
Millions of mothers keep it handy be-
cause they know its action on the
stomach, liver and bowels is prompt
and sure. They also know a little
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
"California Syrup of Figs,” which con-
tains directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on the bottle. Beware of counterfeits
soid here. Get the genuine made by
"California Fig Syrup Company.”—

PICK UP U-BOAT ORDERS.
Wireless Operators Frequently Hear
Them at Sea.
By Associated Press.
London, July 26.—Wireless operators
on American and other ships cross-
ing the Atlantic at night frequently
“pick up” orders being sent by the
German admiralty to submarines at
sea. The messages are in code, of
course, and the submarine never ac-
knowledge receipt of the orders be-
cause if they did some warship of the
enemy might get a clue as to the loca-
tion of one or more of the undersea
boats.
These messages to the submarines
are from Nauen, a small town near
Spandau, where Germany has its great
wireless station. Electrical waves pro-
duced there will reach some 6,000
miles.
Nine towers are in use, the highest
being 850 feet. Last year Nauen sent
to the outside world almost 5,000,000
words for the German government.
“Pershing’s Crusaders.”
Commencing Aug. 1, the* committee
on public information will present at
the Queen theater the first official
American war film, “Pershing's Cru-
saders.” The engagement will con-
tinue for three days. This feature
film pictures the grim earnestness of
the United States government in its
war activities and its determination to
stamp out kaiserism.
Following the flag to France, a
splendid idea is given of how Ameri-
cans fight. The last half of the pic-
ture, in fact, is entirely devoted to what
our boys are accomplishing over there.
A brief description follows: “You see
them in the front line trenches on the

Queen Theater.
“Shark Monroe.”—Some of the most
beautiful photography ever seen in a
motion picture characterizes “Shark
Monroe,” the new sea picture which
stars William S. Hart and shows at the
Queen theater today and Saturday. The
setting of Alaskan waters and of
Alaska itself affords splendid oppor-
tunity for unusual exteriors and lovely
“shots” of the north, and Joe August,
the able camerman of Mr. Hart, has
taken advantage of every opportunity.
Mr. Hart plays with unusual strength
and effectiveness in this new sort of
role for him, presenting Shark Mon-
roe, skipper of the sealing schooner
the Gull, as a character not to be
forgotten. C. Gardner Sullivan is the au-
thor of the story which tells of the
softening of the heart of the primitive
man, Monroe, by Marjorie Hilton, the
girl from the East, and her dissipated
young brother who are going to Alaska
to seek their fortune.
“The Claws of the Hun.”—Charles
Ray, the versatile young Ince star, is
given just the sort of role that fits
him best in “The Claws of the Hun,”
showing at the Queen theater Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday. He plays a young
fellow who is prevented by his mother
from enlisting at the beginning of
the war, and the manner in which he
finally proves that he must go and
convinces his mother of the fact that
he is a thousand times a better man
in France than in America. The boy's
father is the inventor of a high ex-
plosive that German secret agents are
striving to steal. One can imagine the
sort of fights that young Ray puts
up when he comes into the plot and
works to save the formula of the ex-
plosive and to put the spies where they
belong. Little Jane Novak, recently
playing with Mr. Hart, is the girl in
the case, and Robert McKim and Dor-
cas Matthews have splendid roles in
the support.
“The Vamp.”—A comedy drama in a
new vein is offered next week at the

look on. Millions of uniforms are turn-
ed out with magic-like rapidity. You
begin to realize that every American
is doing his best to win this war. Did
you know, for instance, that Uncle Sam
is running the biggest laundry in the
world. It is worth seeing. Then watch
the jackies drying their wash. It is
not drama but it is life, throbbing with
virile patriotism. It is a picture that
every soldier’s mother, wife or sweet-
heart will want to see. You may see
your boy over there. ‘Pershing’s Cru-
saders’ is distributed by the First Na-
tional Exhibitors’ Circuit Inc.”
Dixie No. 1.
“The Rose of Blood”—Theda Bara is
at her best in her new picture, “The
Rose of Blood,” which shows at the
Dixie No. 1 today and tomorrow. Rare-
ly has the noted star attained the
heights of emotional success which she
reaches in this picture. Nor has she
often had a vehicle which affords such
opportunities for varying moods, con-
flicting emotions, and changing ex-
pression.
“The Rose of Blood” is a story of
the Russian revolution. Instead of
concerning itself with the circumscrib-
ed lives of czars and priests, however,
it goes into the heart of the Russian
people, and shows what they were
doing while (heir government was
being overturned. It is more real and
more vivid than any of the historical
I dramas of today which have been
filmed.

, John Merkyl, Miss Stevens’ leading
Queen theater with Enid Bennett in
the star part. It is "The Vamp” from
a scenario by C. Gardner Sullivan, and
was produced under the supervision of
Thomas H. Ince.
Those who have seen the dainty lit-
tle Australian actress in Thos. H. Ince
pictures recall her naivete and sweet-
ness in girlish roles. To see her, then,
still girlish, but endeavoring to assume
a worldly air, even to the extent of
“vamping” a man to such an extent
that he engages to marry her, is a
novelty indeed.
Such is the keynote which lends the
title to the story, but there is much
more to it.
Miss Bennett does the finest piece
of acting she has done in many months
in this role. She is ably supported by
Douglas MacLean and others,' includ-
ing Charlie French. Robert McKim

and others.

To the
Voters of
Galveston:
PLAYING LEADING ROLE IN “CONFESSION”
I do not believe that a political campaign
should consist of controversy based on per-
sonalities. In asking for re-election I have
nothing unkind to say of my opponent, but
stand squarely on my own record.
I was the author and passed the Dry Dock
Bill in the house. Its passage has given em-
ployment to many men when there was much
idleness in Galveston. I have supported
EVERY MEASURE PROPOSED AND IN-
DORSED by organized labor and I will con-
tinue to be the friend of the laboring man.
I have supported and helped pass the Suf-
frage Bill and am in favor of a constitutional
amendment giving women full suffrage.
I worked diligently and succeeded in having
ten years’ taxes remitted to Galveston, and this
amounts to more than $1,500,000 saved to our
taxpayers. The Galveston Grade Raising
Assn., Galveston Commercial Assn., city com-
missioners, and county commissioners all
passed resolutions thanking me and my fellow
workers for our efforts. It is on this record
that I ask to be re-elected to represent and
work for the best interests of Galveston, the
city in which I was born and with which every-
thing that I have or expect to helve is bound up.

reputation that Miss Carmen has ac-
quired as a star and also because of
the nature of the picture in which she
is to be seen. It is described as a
•thrilling drama of mystery which holds
those who see it in suspense from be-
ginning to the end.
It begins with a wedding. The bride
and bridegroom slip away from their
guests. They are held up and all their
belongings, including the bride’s wed-
ding’ ring, are taken. The loss of the
wedding ring starts a series of events
that will stir all motion picture fol-
lowers. The climax is remarkable. It
is something’ new, done in a clever and
exciting way. Miss Carmen does the
best work of her career in this photo-
play.

The Crystal Vaudeville is showing for
the latter part of this week, a new

mor and fun. A feature Pathe picture
and a Lonesome Luke comedy are also
scheduled for the last of this week.
COLONEL FABRY
NOW AN EDITOR
Joffre's Staff Chief Be-
comes Military Critic.
Paris, June 30.— (Correspondence of
the Associated -Press.)—After a long ,
period of anonymity, made necessary
because of his active connection with
the army, Lieut. Col. Fabry, chief of
staff of Marshal Joffre and his com-
panion on the marshal’s visit to Amer-
ica, has come out under his own name
in the new paris daily, “Gui.” He will
hereafter write the trenchant military-
criticisms under his own name rather
than as “Bouchavesnes,” whose iden-
tity- has always puzzled the readers of
“Oui” puite as much as the articles
have pleased them.
Lieut. Col. Fabry retires from the
regular army in consequence of his
many serious injuries while fighting.
He has become one of the principal
editors of “Oui,” with the direct,
though, it is said, reluctant permission
of Marshal Joffre, who deeply- regrets
having to part with his faithful chief
of staff.
Lieut. Col. Fabry's war record is as
brilliant as his journalist work. At
the beginning of the war he was a cap-
tain of the staff of Gen. Dubail, the
recently- supplanted military governor
of Paris. He wanted a more active life
and was transferred to the command
of the Twenty-third battalion of the
famous Alpine Chasseurs.
He led them through battles in the
Woeuvre, at St. Mihiel, Ypres, Dixmude,
Arras and in the Vosges, and at Reich-
sackerkopf was so seriously- wounded
that one leg was amputated. He was
carried to a hospital and lay there for
fifteen months before recovering. His
life was despaired of at times, but his
indomitable grit and pluck carried him
through.
Discharged from the -hospital, he
amazed even his friends by expressing
a desire to continue on active service
of some kind. Marshal Joffre called
eoke
him in as chief of staff and the colonel
has been constantly with the "grand
old man,” “Papa” Joffre, ever since.
A’s “Bouchavesnes” has has achieved
a reputation as a military critic and
has done much to build up the circula-
tion of “Oui.”
CINEMA A MEDIUM
OF UNDERSTANDING
Nations of World to Reach
Each Other Thus.
By Associated Press.
Woshington, July 26.—“It is through
the cinema that the nations of the
world will get to understand each
other; the cinema will be a tremendous
power in— cementing the projected
league of nations which is to maintain
a world peace,” declares a writer in
the London Evening News, urging that
British motion picture manufacturers
should best themselves to overcome
American “domination” of the market.
Calling attention to the powerful in-
fluence of the screen in affecting the
thought of the public, the writer
further demands that the government,
possibly through the colonial office,
should assist in pushing British films
on the markets of the empire and see
that “the heart of England is not Amer-
ican.”
“Ninety per cent of the ideals and
sentiment emanating ' from British
screens is American,” the writer con-
tinued, according to a copy of the ar-
ticle transmitted ‘in official dispatches
to the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce. “We shouldn’t grumble, I
am sure, if 10 per cent of the ideals
and 1 per cent of the sentiment shown
on American screens were British. But
they are not. American ideals and sen-
timent dominate the screens
whole world.
"The British dominions, as
of the
far as
the cinema is concerned, are in the
hands of the cinema ‘kings’ of the
United States, some of them of German
origin, but as keenly American as any
to see the Stars and Strips flutter on
the screens of the world. There are
few pictures nowadays in which ‘Old
Glory’ does not get a look-in.
“Americanization of the world
through the moving picture has been
going on for the past four years.
American ideals, the American flag,
railway stock, motor cars, police
courts flood the screens. To the peo-
ple of the British empire the greatest
men of all time are George Washing-
ton and Abraham Lincoln. Nelson,
Drake and Wellington have no place
on the screen.”
Canadian pictures are almost wholly
made in America, the writer asserts.
Australia will have none of the British
pictures, except topical films, and there
also is no market for the British prod-
uct in New Zealand. India is the one
“bright spot” in the empire where
British films are welcomed.
“Let us have some reciprocity with
America,” the article concludes. “Let
us exchange our pictures and learn of
one another. It is that or the Ameri-
canization or Germanization of the
world through the cinema. And it is
going to have a big effect.”

AGAINST SINN FEINERS.
Old Irish Priests Oppose Methods of
Recalcitrants.
Correspondence of Associated Press.
Dublin, June 30.—Some of the older
Irish priests, particularly in County
Wexford, have been speaking out
strongly against the Sinn Feiners. Very
Rev. Canon Walsh, presiding at a
meeting of the Crossabeg and Bally-
mum branch of the United Irish $
league, said the prospect before Ire-
land was a gloomy one, as the “crimi-
nal lunacy of Sinn Fein” was turning
all Ireland’s friends against her. By,
insulting and trampling upon the
American flag and cheering for Em-
peror William, he said, the "unruly
Sinn Fein faction” was turning the
French republic, the American nation
and the English democracy into bitter
enemies of Ireland.
Rather than gain independence for
Ireland they were more likely to gain
twenty years of coercion and martial
law, if any general support were ac-
corded by Irishmen to the antics of
the “miserable faction” whose record,
said Canon Walsh, so far, was one of
dissension, disruption and disaster. The
democracy of England, he continued,
was favorably, disposed towards Irish-
men and was willing to do them jus-
tice, but they would' never consent to
the sheer lunacy of total separation
and, until the evil spirit of Sinn Fein
was banished from the land, Ireland
would labor under the yoke of oppres-
sion.
Resolutions were passed at the meet-
ing condemning the latest German out-
rage in murdering seven innocent fish-
ermen off the Galway coast; and de-
nouncing the Gaelic league as “a feed-
er of Sinn Fein.”
AMERICAN ROSE WINS.
Flower Is Awarded Gold Medal at the
Paris Competition.
By- Associated Press
Paris, July 26.—A rose of American
origin was awarded the gold medal
the highest award, at the annual com-
petition of new roses at Bagatelle, the
famous rose garden in the Bois de Bou-
logne. Varieties had come from all
parts of France, England, Holland and
the United States, the winning rose
being one named from the city of its
origin, Los Angeles.
The jury, composed of celebrated
rose-growing experts, considered the
claims of an English climbing rose,
the Paul Scarlet Climber.
GERMANY’S POTATOES SCARCE.
Supply Not Enough to Last Until the
Next Harvest.
By Associated Press.
New York, July 26.—Secretary Steg-
erwold of the German war food board
announced in a meeting in Dresden that
Germany’s supply of potatoes was not
quite sufficient to last until the next
harvest, according to the Berlin Tage-
blatt.
