This photoplay retells the story of
an episode of the war between the
British and the Zulus in South Africa
in 1879 The film is remarkable not
only for the vividness of its photog-
raphy, but for the realism Of its
battle scenes. A real British army
marches through these, pictures and
Rorke's Drift is besieged by real
Zulus The photographers are so close
to reality that in the final scene when
relief comes to the besieged the spec
tator almost feels he can hear the
soldiers cheering.
Running through this realism is the
| fabric of a strong melodraTs-a a. Tommy
| Brandon, q British cavalryman in
valided at Rorke's Drift, falls in love
with his nurse, Grace Linden. The
camp, a frontier post set down in a
sea of yellow sand, swept by the
never resting wind and scorched by
the African sun, seems the last place
in the world for a romance. Never
theless the soldiers advances are not
spurned by the girl.
The day comes when Brandon is to
with his nurse results in marriage
proposal. Grace gives no definite an
swer, but the trooper finds in her
manner no cause for despair. A little
later he finds the reason for her diff
dence. Grace has a worthless brother,
, who is a soldier. Brandon sees him
begging money from his sister. She
begs her sutton TO protect her
brother from himself and in return
promises him her love.
| That same afternoon Ken, the
! brother, cheats at cards. Brandon.
to shield him from the contempt of
| his compan ions, accepts the blame
| himself. Grace learns of the incident
and, not aware of the real situation,
| tells Brandon never to see her again.
! Almost Immediately Ken Linden and
Brandon leave Rorke's Drift with a
column sent out to surprise the
| Zulus.
The Zulus however, have planned
a surprise of their own. The column
! had scarcely marched out of the
camp when Grace discovers the saw
ages creeping up for an attack on
Rorke's Drift, There is no time to
send a messenger and the girl resorts
to the use of the heliograph to warn
the departing soldiers that the out
post is athreatened.

MUSIC NOTES

Reinald Werrenrath, baritone, who
will give a joint recital with Clarence
Adler, the pianist, at Wallace Hall on
April l, has received high encomiums
from critics, notably those OF New
York. He is the son of the late
George Werrenrath, the Danish tenor,
who was celebrated twenty years ago.
The son inherited musical gifts as
well as a beautiful voice. The young
man sang solos in a Brooklyn church
choir at seventeen, and during his
college days the is a graduate of New
York University he distinguished
himself by his vocal accomplishments
and as a leader of the musical clubs
of his alma mater. He is well known
in Newark, having appeared repeat
edly with the Lyric Club and Elm
traeht Society.
1t not usual for the artist who is
praised for his solo playing to be
equally commended for his ensemble
work. This, however is not the case
with Clarence Adler. He has been
greatly praised for his artistic work
ut the piano and has been no less APP
plauded for his admirable ensemble
performances with both the knei5c's
and the Flonzaley Quartet

subscription concert of the season at
the Brooklyn Academy of Music on

Curtain Calls

Maurice Costello, the Vitagraph
motion picture star, who recently
completed a trip around the world
for this firm, during which he made
many photopiays, has turned some
of his knowledge gained on the trip
to practical use. While in Russia
ice-houses were constructed, which
are used by so many of the Siberian
eHiles as a protection during the
heavy winter storms. The recent bliz-
zard supplied the necessary snow and
ice, so Costello got busy \and wrote
a four-reel scenario of Russian life.
in which a snow house village is
necessary. VIII lie the story was being

houses and then directed his re-

whose management the pictures will
be presented, and who will act as
lecturer, WAS a member of the expe-
dtion which spent years in obtain
ing the pictures. On one occasion
Mr. Ruskin and a party of three 9TH
ers got lost in the Arctic SHOWS and
for seven days subsisted on moss.
They were rescued by a relief party

In the newspapers Of today we very
often find the words entente cordiale.
Most readers understand the meaning
of the expression. but it is rather diff
cult to make translation that ex-
presses the exact meaning of the orig
inal French. Prince Bismarck gave a
good explanation when his daughter
asked him what the entente cordiale
really was.
"Well," he said, ut is not so easy to
define literally. 1t means cordial un-
Outstanding, but it also has a little
different significance. For example:
You were in the courtyard this morn
ing when came from the garden with
Nero. Diana was in the yard, gnaw-
ing large bone. My Nero saw her
and ran to seize the bone. Then there
was little fight, until struck them a

OUR LUCKY ESCAPE IN MEXICO

This country's escape from ac-
tive military intervention in Mex
leo during the past year and a
half is now seen to have been an
extraordinary piece Of good for
tune. For Intervention would have
meant the military conquest of
the neighboring country, the ty-
ing up in foreign land of large
American army. and an enormous
war expenditure-all at time
when the European conflagration
required of us the outstanding of
all our resources.
No one could have fOrseen what
has happened, and no one, in the
light OF events, NAV claim thepos-
session of extraordinary preset
ence.. but circumstances as they
are do justify an expression of
thankfulness that President Will
son was able to execute his Mex
lean policy without involving the
United States in an adventure
whose dead weight by this time
would have appalled, his country
men. So long as the European
war lasts. it now appears, it would
be extreme folly for the United
States to undertake to exercise
more than it's moral influence in
the Mexican situation, in the pres
ent shaping of affairs. Mexicans
must work out their own fate

Thirteenth Century Fire Prevention.

Thirteenth Century Fire Prevention.
One wonders what fate would have
overtaken the captured starter of fires
in thirteenth century London, for
after the blaze Of 1912, which lasted
ten days. swallowed up part Of Lon
don bridge and was the cause of over
1000 deaths. every precaution was
taken against fires. For instance. all
builders Of houses were ordered to
roof them with tiles, single boards or
lead, and to stop an outbreak any
house could be pulled down. Thus. Mr..
II. B. Wheatley on the safeguards:
"For the speedy removal of burning
houses each ward was to provide
strong iron hook with Il wooden ham
die. two chains and two strong cords,
which were to be left with the bedel
of the ward. who was also provided
with a good horn loudly sounding"
And, moreover. every householder was
ordered to keep a barrel of water be-
fore his door.-London Standard.

Us the sympatKl9s OF the world.
Why, should she, q peace
full. prosperous, happy, lit
tie state, be forced to
suffer the brunt of war she had
no part in making? The courage
and patriotism of the Belgians in
resisting the violation OF their
neutrality and refusing to give
way to the invaders, without q
valiant struggle must be applaud
ed by all lovers of justice. Even
Germany does not contradict
Belgium's right in the matter, but
excuses the German invasion on
the plea of military necessity.
Thus it is shown that war knows
no rule but the rule of might.
The herOism of the Belgian u.s.
tense is the one shining star in
the black night of European hor-
rOrs. Wherever home and loved
ones are cherished there must the
heroism of the Belgian peasants
in the defense of their firsesides
and their families be honored. and
the bitter ruin that has over
whelmed their once beautiful
country be deplored.

NO TIME FOR POLITICAL
CHARlATANlSM

If Republicans in Con-
gress think they are going
to make political capital
for themselves by intro
ducing resolutions design
ed to embarrass the ad-
ministration in it's conduct
of the foreign relations of
this country they are very
much mistaken. Senator
Gallinger is the latest Of
fender. He would have Con-
gress adopt resolutions
that in effect would ques-
ton the good faith Of ia
pans assurances to the
United States with regard
to China and the Pacific.
The American people are
in no mood to permit poll
ticians to trifle with the
delicate international re-
lations of this country
in this great crisis,
What Japan has de-
clared her intentions of do
ing is wholly within her
rights. We may not agree
with Japan's contention
that Germany's China
leasehold is a menace to
the peace of the Far East,
but she has done nothing
and contemplates nothing,
that j eopardizes any Amer
lean interest.
If there is one thing up-
on which the people Of the
United States are deter
mined it is that this coun-
try shall not be drawn into
war or into serious COM
plications with any nation.
They will make short shrift
of politicians who do any
thing to embarrass the ad-
ministration in Carrying
out a policy of neutrality
and peace.-New York
