Birth, of a Nation
Film Will Be Shown
in Entirety Here
The photo-play, "The Birth of a Na
tion," will be shown In Its entirety at. the
Brands la theater, starting Sunday this
much boa been vouchsafed by Manager
Butphen of the playhouse. But In order
that due credit may be glren the negro
race, he has consented to print In the
theater program a statement prepared by
a committee which called on him for the
purpose. The statement was prepared by
Mra F. H. Cole, Mfa H. C. Sumney, Mra.
. A. Stewart. Rev. John Williams, Robert
CowelU W. T. Osborne and Rev. John Al
bert Wllllama and Is aa follows:
"It Is a noteworthy fact that should
never be forgotten that during the civil
war, while the men of the south were
absent from home fighting to keep the
shackles on tha slaves, their women and,
children were left solely under the pro
tection of the slaves and there is not a
single case on record, aa has been pointed
out by Henry W. Qrady of the Atlanta
Constitution and by other equally repre
sentative southerners, where a negro ever
betrayed his sacred trust. The negro men
ware tha protectors of the white woman
ef the south during those dark days In
the nation's history. We regret that this
significant aide of the story has nowhere
been adequately portrayed or even sug
gested In this photo-drama m which so
much of the darker aide of human nature
and passion baa been heightened and
dramatised."

F. D. Johnston, superintendent of the
Vnlted States railway mall service for
the Fourteenth division, has Just com
pleted arrangements for employment of
a large number of additional malt clerks
and mall cars from December 17 to De
cember M. He Is doing his Christmas
planning early.
He held a conference with the superin
tendents of the seven districts of the
Fourteenth division at his office In the
poatofflce building and full arrangements
were made for handling the big crush of
mall.
The Fourteenth division takes in the
statea of Nebraska, Colorado and Wyo
ming, and there are normally about l.MO
railway mall clerks working In the di
vision.
Fifteen hundred extra days of work
and pay have been allowed the dlvtalon
for thia big rush. This means that 150
extra mall clerks can be used each day
of the ten days that the rush continues.
Extra mall cars which are held in reserve
by the railroad companies will be pressed
Into service.
An Important change has been secured
by Superintendent Johnston in getting a
"through-car movement" from Chicago to
the Paclflo coast Hitherto the mall has
been transferred In Council Bluffs from
the mall care of one company to the
mall cars of another. This took time and
work. Mr. Johnston believes the through
car movement will prove such a success
In experiment that It will be made permanent.
