The Athletics are not popular here.
The fans soured on them long ago, be-

But it is different today. The crush.

GERMAN INVASION
SHOWN BY MOVIES

The intrepid and fearless camera
men with the Belgium army and with
the German army were in the field at
the time the Germans made their first
advance into Brussels, and succeeded
in getting some admirable pictures.
The Hearst-Selig News Pictorial will
show over four hundred feet of film
depicting the various German troops,
cavalry, infantry and artillery, headed
by the celebrated Uhlan Lancers, max.
ing their progress against resistance
into the capital Of Belgium. Other
pictures have shown detached armies
and various bodies of troops, but this
will prove exceptionally interesting be-
cause so much comment has been
made in the newspapers about this
particular investment Of territory by
the Germans. 1t is possible that some
who view these pictures will recog
nize among the German soldiers rela
tives or friends who have recently de
parted from the United States to join
the German colors in the great war.

scantily attired, who rushed from their
dormitories and saved many OF the
trophies and much of the college prop
