WAR TO ACCELERATE
MOVIE BUSINESS HERE
Paralysis of Eliminating Industry in
Europe Opens Big Field to
American Producers.

Paris, Sept. 5.-The war in Europe is
playing havoc with the moving picture
business. In all parts Of the Continent
movie operators were forced to flee for
their lives and in most instances they
left their machines and many valuable
reels behind them. The moving picture
concerns Of Paris and other French cities
have been paralyzed by the war. Their
actors have been called TO the colors,
leaving only the women employees. who
are good actors and expert operators. but
who cannot impersonate men very we'll
With only women left. the firms cannot
make the military. historic, serious and
comic reels that they would ordinarily.
The war, therefore. should give q
tremendous impetus TO the movie bust
ness in America. The American producers
will reap a harvest by finding a field for
their entire output and not having to
compete with the foreign reels that here
tofore have held q favorite place on the
American screens.
As for war pictures, It is a weII-known

war were not seen for seven years after
that conflict and then they were turned
out by American movie concerns with
such accuracy and semblance of the real
thing. that the films were sent to Eng

thousands, many Of whom were veterans
OF the Boer war. The latter said that
the pictures were wonderful in their

Terrible with Their Knives.
In close quarters the Ghurkas throw
away their rifles and take to their
knives, which they use with telling effect
When charged by cavalry the Ghurkas
stand up and fire at the horsemen until
they get in close. Then they drop to the
ground. As the cavalry passes over them
they hamstring the horses and. clinging
TO stirrups, stab the riders
This method Of fighting is not unlike
that OF the French Turcos. The Ghurkas
like the Scotch Highlanders, use bagpipes
and carry their bipes with them when
they go into battle
In contrast TO the little Ghurkas are
the Sikhs and the Pathans. who are Of
more than ordinary size. They. too, are
brave fighters. but they have taken read
