Judge Allen Would Divide First District The Pi ret Judicial District, u It ptands today, 1b exactly the tame size and contain* foat ai many counties as It did over a hundred years ago. Other districts hare been split up Into two and even three parts, but absolutely no change has been made in the First." The above statement waa made this morning by Judge O. H. Allen, who is presiding over the present term of Su perior ootirt In this county. "The district is so large," continued the Judge, "that It has to have two Federal courts. And yet, lp spite of the Increase In population, one Judge has to. preside over all terms of Superior court held. In otheV parts of the 8tate, the districts. Include as few as two and" three counties. It seems t^ fad that some steps should b| taicen toward divid ing the First." ' FATAL SHOOTING HBtEYESTTRDAY Y omae Boy. Watching QnamJ. Hit Another.

He said: "If CaVransa does not soon estab lish a firm financial system he will be forced out by internal troubles. There is no prospect of his doing this.

CATTLE CRY OF PEACE DRAWS LARGE CROWDS1, Picture Hm a Powerful Appeal. Will Be Shown Here for Laet Time Tonight. "The Battle Cry of Peace." a pic ture that is destined to take ran*! among the supremely great produc tions for the screen, was witnessed yesterday by capacity audiences at the New Theatre. The power of the picture made a tremendous impres sion; It Is startling in a sense, su perbly dramatic and eloquent in its forceful though silent appeal for a greater national preparedness against a possible Invading foe. *;TlJ$re isn't much story ? It's rsth Iekson, but to soe it Is to find oause fof Very serlosu thought. Not of those 'who have witnesses the Itpectacle believe that It is pot pos- j slble for sny Invader to accomplish what the "Battle Cry of Peace" pic tures. but. htfwever they Ittay diverse la opinion, not one has been heard i who did not command the* produc tion as worthy of patrotflge. Solely from an educational standpoint th? picture should be seen-^ whether you are personally In' favor of mltC tary and naval preparedness or in clined to a disarmament program, theer is no reason why you should, not tee this picture, qlessed as one of the greatest of the movie world.

For the first time since he took office Pres ident Wilson is considering the p' I slbillty of actual interve'- v Merico. This was learn ^\a high official source after ? cab inet meeting today. further raids into American ter ritory by Mexicans will not neces sarily force this step, but if the President becomes convinced that Carranza, Obregon and otber mem bers of the Mexican de facto Gov ernment are temporising and that they are insincere in their repre-j seniatlons to the United States, he will sever all relations with them j | and Intervene in earnest, f Evidence of bad faith on the part | of Carranza or Obregon will be suf ficient to cause President Wilson to intervene.. All military activity In this country now is directed with a view of possible intervention. / This new policy will be continued and the preparations for interven tion Increased, until it Is definitely established that Carranza is not only willlni but able to assist the Amer ican forces already in Mexico in their '?? of dispersing lawless i v ( ? ?corapllshing in full the 4 tho l'nlled States' expe vion. President Wilson was greatly Irri tated over the recent raid into Amer ican territory and there are indica tions that some persons associated with Carranza are attempting to put obstacles in the way of th?> punitive expedition. it can almost be said that the President Is wavering be tween greater preparedness forVu tervection, his new policy, and im mediate Intervention. There is not the slightest doubt in the minds of those who have talk ed with the President that he ha* nn intention whatsoever of withdraw ing the American forces from Mex ico before they have accomplished their object or of making any fur ther concessions to Carranza of any kind. President WUaon's mind Is set upon making a good job of the expe dition, even though it Is necessary to go ahead in defiance of the de facto government.

"If it takes ten or fifty years." The statement says in part: "Since wo have started, we may as well finish the Job. A temporary protection of the harder will accom plish nothing.
