THE BATTLE OF GETTYsBURG

The Battle of Gettysburg was
shown at the Rex Theatre in Boise.
Idaho recently and the Boston Ev-
ening Capital News commented on
the picture as follows:
The stirring days of the civil
war and the great struggle on tha
field at Gettysburg were lived
over last night by a large number
of veterans and were brought more
7ividly before the younger genera
ton than the greatest painters in
history could portray in q wonder
fully realistic picture of the great
battle which was shown at the Rex
Theatre. 1t is a picture which
causes heart throbs and demonstra-
tion of patriotism such as have
never been witnessed before at a
moving picture show in this city.
The picture is one Of the masters
in the motion picture world of to-
day and was secured at an enor-
nous expen:e, the national guards
of several states being engaged
to make the production, while they
were ofcered by several OF the
greatest generals who took part in
that fierce struggle and their know
ledge Of the battle aid battlefield
shows the greatest struggle of the
civil war almost as it really was
during the three days fighting.
Several times during the picture
the audience was almost swept to
its feet with patriotic applause
the thriller in the picture being
the wonderful charge of General
Pickett's regiment, the flower of
the sauta, On General Meade's army
entrenched on the hill. Plainly
portrayed is the long column of
gray uniformed men as they charge
up the hill in the f.ce- Of a deadly
fire which cuts a wide sWath N the
ranks and when they are finally
routed just before the breastworks
and General Meade's men break
the charge with the stars and
stripes floating above the. smoke
covered fields strewn with dead the
crowds whic filled the theatre dur.
ing three perfor . ances vent wild
with applause.
A veteran of the civil war who
took part in the three days fight
ing at Gettysburg was asked how
tbs picture compared with the act
ual battle in 1868. He replied,
with the exception that not so
many men + shown and that the
field was thickly covered with dead,
it was as real as a prod uction could
ever be made. 1t is a great and
wonderful picture and l would not
have. missed it for anything"
The thread Of a love story is por-
trayed throughout the picture
which makes it ever more ia %cinat-
ing -

night and tomorrow afternoon

spirators, besides the principal
who engaged in the ASSASSINATION,
Austria claiming Servia's reply to
lite uitlmatum was unsatisfactory.
a. jealousy, hatred, suspicion
and dietrust by the great powers
of Europe of each other, this
causing Germany to issue an ulti
matum to Russia to stop mobil-
izing it's troops, the failure to do
this causing a declaration of war
against Russia by Germany.
TRIPARTTTE AGREEMENT
France aud England have tri-
partite agreement with Russia
which makes them allies and
and is likely to involve them in
the struggle.
NOW ARRAYED.
Thus the great powers arrayed
against each other are Germany,
Austria Hungary and probably
Italy on the one hand and Russia,
France and England on the other.
THE FIGHTING FORCE.
Assuming that Austria, Ger
many, Italy and Bulgaria would
be arrayed on one side aud Rus.
STA, England, France, Servia and
Roumania on the other. the total
numi'sr of men engaged in com
bat would be nearly twenty mill
lions; more than eighteen hun
dred battleships would hurl their
deadly missiles at each other and
human bodies, thousands, per-
haps millions, would be slain and
and huge amount of the wealth of
the world would be irretrievably
wasted.
