NEW CRESCENT THEATRE.
Dorothy Phillips, James J. Corbett,
.1 Warren Kerrig-mi, Are Among
the Notables to Appear This Week.
Mi's. Vernon Castle on Monday and
Tuesday, tin: 10th and 20tli.
Good things are in store for the
patrons of the New Crescent theatre.
On Monday Dorothy Phillips and a
strong supporting cast appear in
"The Piper's Pri<^" a picture based
011 the story by Mrs. Wilson Wood-
row. The story is based on the un-
alterable law that for the evil we
<lo we must pay, in the words of
the play "Pay the Piper."
James J. Corbett in "The Other
Girl" does the strongest acting of
his entire career. % Tho story is a
beautiful one with many magnificent
settings.
Then Wednesday, J. Warren Ker-
rigan in "Tho Social Buccaneer."
It has been some time since we had
n Kerrigan picture and certainly
those who know the story will ap-
preciate that Mr. Kerrigan fits the
character to perfection.
On Monday and Tuesday, the 19th
nml 20th, Mrs. Vernon Castle in
"Patria." These are the same days
■that we will show the picture made
in Temple.
"MILLION DOLLAR DOLL."
Next Wednesday evening the Tem-
ple theatre will play this season's
latest musical comedy success, "The
Million Dollar Doll."
The first object that gives dis-
tinction to this show is the perfec-
tion of its production. In every de-
tail of the stage arrangements, in
the direction that has been given to
the principals and the chorus in the
character and tho prodigality of the
costumes and in the beauty and com
pleteness of its scenic accessories, it
has the pronounced individuality of
a $2 show. Aside from tho superb
excellence of the principals in their
respective parts, very much the best
part of the show is the musical num-
bers. Thsse are handsomely cos-
tumed and they reveal refreshingly
new novelties, all delightfully melod-
ious and of the snappy kind of com-

'•Intolerance."
FIRM PROTEST IS MADE AGAINST
NEW SUBMARINE POLU'V
OF THE KAISER.
iCONCERNED OVER PROBABLEi
BKEAK WITH UNITED STATES.
D. W. Griffith's "Intolerance," his
first and only production since "The
Birth of a Nation," Is the attraction
ot the Temple theatre on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, with matinees
Friday and Saturday.
Throughout the engagement there
will be daily matinees at 2:10 p. m.
In this stupendous spectacle Grif-
fith shows four periods of "Man's
Inhumanity to Man." As in a vision
One looks back into the far distant
past and sees Belshazzar in Babylon,
the magnificent. In another power-
ful, thrilling story of modern life is
realistically shown. The cradle "end-
lessly rocking" again turns back the
hands of time to the middle ages,
when the Huguenots of Taris wore
being massacred by thousands. Again
one sees the humble Nazarene in
Cana and Jerusalem. These swift
changing scenes keep the interest of
tho spectator keyed to the highest
tension. In every respct, "Intoler-
ance" is absolutely different from
anything ever shown before on the
stage or screen. It has been said
that Babylon and New York go well
togther and it is difficult to fell
whether the suspense of the spec-
tator is greater while following the
maddening ride of the mountain girl
in a chariot along the banks of the
Euphrates or in Sa frenzied rush
of a. modern rac.ng car speeding
after a fast recedUig train. Words
are absolutely inadequate to give any
impression of th<> magnitude anif
the comprehensiveness of this truly
wondrous spectacle. The Bcenes in
Paris are like the pages of Dumas
come to life. The episodes of Jew-
ish history appear like vivified paint-
ings of Tissot. To convey any idea
of the Babylonians scenes will prob-
ably never bo attempted for neither
the pages of history or of fiction,
nor masterpieces of great painters,
have ever made so real the splendor
and magnificence of that mighty city
of the past. An orchestral score
akin to grand opera, Is played by a
large symphony orchestra.

RIO JANEIRO. Feb . .10 —The
note handed to the German secretary
of foreign affairs by* the Brazilian
minister at Berlin in reply to Ger-
many's declaration of the resumption
of unrestricted submarine warfare
was made public here today. The
note, after acknowledging receipt of
the German communication, says:
"The letter of your excellency said
that the German government having
confidence that the government of
Brazil would appreciate tho reasons
for the methods of war which Ger-
manymany was forced to take on ac-
count of the actual circumstances,
hopes that Brazilian ships would be
warned of the danger they ran if
they navigated the interdicted zones,
the same as passengers or merchan-
dise on board any other ship of com-
merce, neutral or otherwise.
Policy Unjust.
"I have just been directed to in-
form your excellency that the federal
government has the greatest desire
not to see modified the actual situa-
tion as long as the war lasts, a sit-
uation, in which Brazil has imposed
itself the rigorous observance of the
laws of neutrality since the com-
mencement of hostilities between na-
tions with whom she had friendly re-
lations. The unexpected communica-
tion we have just received, an-
nouncing a blockade of wide extent
of countries with which Brazil is
continually in economic relations by
foreign countries and Brazilian ship-
ping has produced a justified and
profound impression through the im-
minent menace which it contains of
the unjust socriflces of lives, the
destruction of property and the
wholesale disturbance of commercial
transactions."
"In such circumstances and while
observing always and invariably the
same principles, the Brazilian gov-
ernment, after having examined the
tenor of the German note, declares
that it cannot accept as effective the
blockade which has just been suddenly
decreed by the imperial government.
"Because of the means em-
ployed, such n blockade would bo
contrary to the principles of law
and the convention rules estab-
lished for military operations of
this nature.
"For these reasons the Brazilian
government, in spite of its sincere and
keen desire to avoid any disagree-
ment with the nations at war, with
whom it is on friendly terms, believes
it to be its duty to protest against
this blockade and consequently to
leave entirely with the imperial Ger-
man government the responsibility for
all acts which will involve .Brazilian
citizens, merchandise or ships."
Dr. Dlnshab T. Ghadiali, late of
India, compromised on a green skull
cap after he had fought a valiant but
losing fight to retain his turban in

Press Not So Radical as at First of
Crisi'—Attitude of the Other
Neutrals Discussed.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
\ IK.VXA, Feb. 10, via London.-
Government circles and the public!
generally view the delayed action of
President Wilson regarding the rela- i
Hons between Austria-Hungary and,
the United States as a somewhat fa-
vorable omen and wonder if no rup- [
ture is to occur. ^
The newspapers in a" majority of
cases hold a similar view with the I
result that tho tone of the editorials
is losing all its sharpness, save in the
ease of a few radical papers of which
the lteichspost is the chief Instance.
Fling at U. S.
Tho Reichspost had three large
white spots, inflicted by the censor in
an editorial attacking President Wil-
son this morning. Judging by the
little censors permitted to appear tho
editorial must have been extremely
rabid. All the others papers this
morning confined themselves to dis-
cussing the attitude of the other neu-
trals toward the president's act re-
garding Germany and expjressing tho
hope that the American government
would learn therefrom that the cen-
tral powers case was not so one sided
as the friends of the entente would
have tho world believe.
Old Question Bobs Up.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Washington, Feb. 10.—The old
problem of whether tho constitution
follows the flag came u.» today In
the house ways and means commit-
tee when it took up the Flag bill
for establishing a government in the
Danish West Indies. The bill provides
for an export tax of J 8 a ton on
sugar, and tho constitutionality of
such a provision immediately was
raised and may be fought on the
floor of the house.

Whatcha Know About
COTTON
Oh, yes, you Live in a
Cotton Country, do you,
and you Know All About
Cotton?
WHAT You Probably
know is that it is raised
on the Farm, is marketed
In Bales, and after Com-
pressing, it is Shipped Off.
You probably know also
that if the Crop is Light
or the Prices Low, there
is Hard Times in Temple.
A further bit of infor-
mation, absorbed from
Statistical Reports is that
Cotton is the Largest Sin-
gle Crop of America, in
the Amount of Money it
brings to our country
from Abroad. There is an
Did saying, familiar—and
luscious in pronunciation
of Southern tongue, that
"COTTON IS KING."
John Erhard
for many years a Cotton
Buyer and Shipper, and
furthermore, a STUDENT
of Cotton in all its phases
of Raising, Marketing,
Transporting and Manu-
facturing, is going to
make a talk Monday
night to the YOUNG
MEN'S BUSINESS
LEAGUE and he is going
to talk about COTTON.
After you have heard
that talk, and someone
asks you What you Know.
About COTTON, you are
going to reply: "I know

improvement of methods of teaching
