Tins WfDI Jt MOTION PICTURE CENSORSHIP The United States is made tip of almost as many diverse peoples as Europe. This diversity in a unified population has to be taken Into con sideration by the National Board of Censorship of Moving Pictures. The board is unable to censor for any par ticular audience; neither can it require that the tilm which it approves for adults be shown only to adults. Exist ing conditions of the motion picture business are such that every film ap proved by the national board goes to every audience, whether or not it is marked by the board "For adults only." Certain of the film companies have selected lists of motion pictures for children and the presentation of special programs for children Is being urged, but since adults make up the majority of the audience-, it is plain that pictures for them must be shown in majority. It is the public, the mothers and fathers of every community, who con stitute the wider national censoring board. Upon the parents depend tjif kind and character of every motion picture shown, determined by the nickel or dime which they or their children spend to see it. If they would realize their responsibility in connec tion with the moving picture there would be no need of the Federal board of motion picture censorship, the es tablishing of which Is now being agi tated. If parents would find out from their nearest representative of the national board, or from the film company Itself, whether a picture was judged suitable for mixed audiences or for adults only. It would be taking a long step toward the wider censorship. A still longei step would be never to allow a child to attend a motion picture theater un accompanied "by an adult.—Carolyn S. Bailey, in October Mother's Magazine. PALMYRA A. A. IN FIELD The Palmyra A.

On that j | Sunday 150 British soldiers held a| | position far too extended for such a | j small garrison, against a force of j | Turks and Arabs six times their own J i number, says the correspondent. ! The location of defense is a small j oasis in a depression in the sandy waste about 13 miles cast of the Suez | ; Canal. The British had erected two I | redoubts and several small isolated I j posts in the vicinity of a grove of i I date palms. These defenses were not | [completed at the time of the raid. [ In a mist so thick that the defend--' J ers were barely able to discern the 1 barbed wire fifty feet in advance of I their redoubts, the attack began at 8 | o'clock in the morning. Rifle fire I beat back the first assault very quick- ! I ly, according to the correspondent,! ! the Turks retiring to reform, i Capt. Roberts of the Royal Scots i i Fusiliers was In command. In the absence of communication trenches, ihe was unable, after the mist lifted | jat 9 oclock to send reinforcements, ammunition and messages to the iso lated posts, as the attackers' rifle .and machine gun fire swept the In tervening spaces. One post was held by eight men, three of whom were wounded early In the engagement. To the extreme right, some of the Brit ish lay out in the open and fought off enemy attempts to reach the rear of the defenses. Returning to the attack, the enemy brought up a mountain gun and with it fiercely shelfed the oasis, but, ac cording to the correspondent, the aim was wretched and little damage for the big motorcycle race program at Lebanon on September 30.

I The attacking force numbered 120 ! Turkish camel corps and about 750 , Arabs, together with two mountain j guns and 60 artillerymen. The Brit ' ish after holding their positions I throughout the day, resisted the fi j nal and most desperate attack. ! which began at 7 o'clock at night, 11his assault consisting of three rijsh- I es. When it had been beaten off, most : of the enemy dead were found with iin fifty yards of the British trench, I one Turk being found within twenty yards. The defenders had suffered a i great many casualties. Meanwhile news of the attack had reached brigade headquarters, seven ! miles away, and two companeis of in , fantry had been sent to the garrison, I which they reached about 9 o'clock, |after a trying march through deep jsand. The officer commanding these I fresh troops had orders to take the I offensive at the first opportunity and j drive off the enemy but found that the latter was too strong, and further infantry reinforcements were dis patched from brigade headquarters, | while two squadrons of Australian ; Light Horse hurried up from a place ! eighteen miles away. Before the arrival of these last re- I inforcements, however, the Turks and Arabs began to fall back, aud a 'British counter attack drove off the | rearguard, twelve of the enemy be -1 ing captured. The Australian Light Horse assisted in the full retreat, but | were unable to overtake the camels I on which the enemy was mounted, j Tho Turks and Arabs lost 70 dead, 1 one wounded and 31 prisoners, accord- I ing to the correspondent, who does 1 not state the British casualties. The latter included Capt. A. C. A. Brace, of the Army Service Corps, the only officers of the original garrison kill- I ed, and Lieut. Crawford, of the Roy al Scots Fusiliers, wounded.
