Advised State Department of Plan
to Prevent Munitions Going
to Foes of Empire.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 10.—
It was said authoritatively at the
State Department today that Secre
tary Lansing had no objection to the
publication of the text of a commu
nication filed at the State Depart
ment by the German embassy on
June 13, in which the German gov
ernment gave notice that it might
consider it advisable during the war
to purchase arms and ammunition
in the United Statep for the express
purpose of preventing them from go
ing to Germany’s enemies.
This statement was made at the
Department today that while Secre
tary Lansing was willing that this
document should be printed in the
newspapers, he preferred that the
German embassy and not the State
Department, should furnish it to the
press.
The statement to this effect, made
at the State Department, was based
on the fact that the answer of Dr. H.
F. Albert, Imperial German Privy
Councilor, to the newspaper charges
that he was at the head of the pro
German propaganda in this country,
which was printed in newspapers this
morning. Dr. Albert quoted a por
tion of the German embassy’s docu
ment had never been mentioned by
either the State Department or the
German embassy.

JOAN OF ARC
AT THE LIBERTY TONIGHT.
“Joan of Arc” presents in its live
parts a splendid production. It is
a production that bespeaks the most
careful preparation and unusual ex
penditure. The history of the Maid
of Orleans from the year 1492 until
her death has been followed thru
out the film with remarkable accu
racy, and has been presented with a
cast far above par.
The story of “Joan of Arc" is no
doubt familiar to most people, and
it is unnecessary to do more than
briefly outline it. Joan, the daugh
ter of a peasant of Donremy, a young
woman of extraordinary energy ann
religious enthusiasm, being visited by
a vision of St. Michael and later by
voices of persuasion and encourage
ment, which are suggested in the
picture as emanating from angels,
which by. the way, are the “blot ou
the escutcheon,” with their wingless
bodies and pasteboard crowns, con
vinced that she is the virgin who is
to rise out of Donremy to deliver the
French from the hands of the Eng
lish and thus restore the throne of
France to its legitimate heir, calls
on the Governor of Vaucouleruren,
Robert de Baudricourt, to supply her
with an army with which she may
march against the English invaders.
Baudricourt refusing to treat the
matter as anything but a joke, the
courageous maiden journeyed to
Rheims to ask assistance in her pro
ject of the Dauphin Charles, after
ward Charles VII, of France, who
after much persuasion, granted her
requested and afterward expressed
his gratitude by allowing her to suf
fer death at the stake.
The entry to Orleans is a thrilling
scene, one to generate enthusiasm
even at this late day. The produr
tion is wonderful, artistic and high
ly instructive.
Among other popular attractions
the Liberty Theatre has booked the
following: Uncle Tom’s Cabin, One
in a Million, Lights o’ London, Rag
pickers of Paris, Lillian Russell in
Wildfire, Alias Jimmie Valentine.
