PARIS, Aug. ct Delayed France
is pouring her soldiers toward the
eastern frontier. Joy at the war was
over-shadowed today by the tragedies
OF farewells as women saw their loved
ones depart for the front. Troop
trains left throughout the day, carry
ing the reseryists, The military
guards, whose sole duty has been TO
look martial as they guarded num-
Der OF the public buildings, have been
replaced by the older reservists az
the pick OF the younger men have
been assigned 10 the lighting line.
French officers have furnished a
guard ut the Invalides In their chill
dren--boys under the legal military
service age---thus permitting the reg
ular soldiers assigned there TO re-
join their regiments.
Transportation in Paris is at
standstill. The guards on the street
car lines and the underground have
oil responded to the call OF the colors.
All taxicabs have been taken over by
the government Nearly all French
men have had their motor cars re-
QUESTIONED by the army. Not an auto
bus remains in service. ALI have been
transformed into army supply wagons.
Paris, therefore, walks--but cheer
fully. The people are confident. Brit
fish visitors, hundreds of them unable
to leave the city, are cheered by the
crowds on the bouelvards.

brought out by easy stages IN stereop-
ticon views to the time Of the Deiuge.
In delineating the story of the De-
fuse. the Bible account is strictly fol-
Lowed Here moving pictures begin.
The pictures which tel! the story 81
the Deluge and the building of the ark
by Noah, are probably the most In
spring and awful In the entire exhibit
ton.
The construction OF the ark by
stages gives a very realistic idea or
how Noah and his children worked to
complete the task. The old patriarch Is
shown pleading with his neighbors to
follow the word of God and 10 pre-
mare for the great catastrophe. But his
hearers, who having gathered to watch
Noah and his family toll, laugh ana
mock him as he speaks. Then, hnat'y,
the great ark is completed,
The Knockers, stlli gathered about,
see the old man lead in the beasts, two
by two, and still they laugh ana re-
fuse to listen to his pleadings Then
Noah orders his sons to enter the big
boat, and when the doors are closed
the people rush at it and pound at It's
sides, making sport Of what they be-
ieve to be foolish fanaticism Then
the sky suddenly darkens A flash or
Tightening cuts the clouds on the hori~
zon. A great storm arises.
The peoples rnockery now turns 70
terror. The rain falls in torrents ana
the sea swells rapidly, Men and women
rush to the ark for refuge. But they
find the doors locked fast against them
The moving pictures here are very real
.istic The ark floats upon the rising wa
ters until the last man, clnglns des-
perately to the craft, is swept away by
the angry waves.
