Will the Films Stop War1

The cinematograph as an institu-
ton has come to life since the last i'm.
portant war. 1t remains to be seen
how a battle, or the awful fringes of
a battle, will look upon the screen.
For assuredly films will come into
play. Soldiers have always said
and correspondents have In measure
agreed with them-that the truth of
war cannot be told. How If the truth
of war were now to be seen?
The late Colonel Stanley has pho.
tographs (daguerreotypes they would
perhaps be called) Of the dead and
wounded taken after the Crimean en-
gagements, but they were too horrible
for exhibition He showed them,
long afterwards, to those who could
bear it, sometimes to those who could
not-and they will never forget
them.
