GERMANY's WAR GAME ENDS.
Defe ndinG Army Surrounded and
Completely Defeated.

opStNt CuOF btspOtCNiO hr Own
BERLIN, Sept. l3.-The army man9u-
vres. which have been going on for
several days ended to-day with a COM
plete victory for the invaders. The
morning opened with thick mist.
above which invisible aeroplanes could
be heard humming. The rival armies
exchanged fire with each other without
seeing where they were shooting.
When the mist cleared 1t was seen
that the defenders had been unable to
complete the turning movement which
they began overnight owing partly
Ito the exhaustion OF the troops and
partly to the brilliant work of the
invading cavalry which had repeated
its dashing charges OF the previous
day.
In the end. the Blue. or defending
army was almost surrounded and
wholly defeated. At the close OF the
nlanceuvrcs all the commanders and
many other officers gathered around
the Kaiser and listened to his criti-
cisms in some cases and received con-
gratulations in others.
The kaiser's health was not in the
least affected by his busy participation
IN the mannuvres and he returned to
Potsdam in the afternoon.
The work of the aeroplanes through
out has been most interesting. II seems
that the German authorities do not sp-
prove of flying above the enemy, aiming
rather to reach a point where they can
scan his position and then returning.
This was probably illustrated by the
fate OF BLUE" biplane which passed
| over the RED" army this morning. The
pilot OF the machine was apparently de-
celved by the mist and came too near
the ground The machine drew the in
stant fire OF a whole battalion Of in
fsntry and must have been shot to
fra gmcnts in actual war Another aero
plane while attempting to land during
the mist collided with tree. Both
officers were thrown out and seriously
injured.
The General STAR while praisins the
aircraft emphasizes the fact that /,
will in no wise replace the cavalry for
observations. On two days out of the
five that the manoeuvres lasted the
weather prevented the aviators from
flying and the mist made the machines
useless to-day.

| Biblical photo-drama of exceptional
merit, one treating of a most delicate
subject, but so worthily that none
could take offense at it. 1t is, in truth,
such an offering as should find wide
favor among the church folk and re-
ligious gatherings. 1t tells the story
of the final days of the life of Christ,
presenting the character of a youth
who becomes a worshippers Of the
Master and succeeds in converting his
own people as well as the Roman gen.
eral of Jerusalem. Splendid and awe
inspiring is the finale, when the tenn
pie is shaken by the lightning and the
darkness of the tempest covers the
land, following the crucifixion. In
the portrayal ofthe characters there
is little to be said save in praise, for
each role is handled with rare dis
tinction and intelligence. AS a pro-
duction it reflects the highest credit
on the one responsible for its making.
The Vitagraph Company has created
a masterful offering.
In addition to the above, THE Fish
ermaid," featuring Pearl White and
several other new subjects, with spe-
cial music will also be on the Gems
program.
There will be no advance in the
admission price at the Gem so that the
small admission of five cents will en-
able whole families to see this mas
terpiece.
