Williams. Too. Was Confident
Perhaps Mclaughlin will come back
and regain his laurelS when he stems
upon the courts AT Newport in 1915.
Williams may never again attain the
splendid heights he reached on Tues

[By William Philip Simms, Paris cor

PARIS, May 1.-THE first Police
mans college" III the world has just
opened here with a talented motion
picture machine as chief lecturer and
dean of all courses. The principal
recitation hall is motion-ptcture

ed of the mechanical professor. BY
the aid Of movies, Project OF Police
Hennion hopes to give stalwart
youngsters, greenhorns on the force
twenty y ears experience in six months
time. or even less, graduating them
A No. /, first class ceppers in this
phenomenal time.
The movie course is arranged with
skill. First, magnificent views OF the
city OF Paris are reeled off in a way
which fills the recruits with pride,
which, OF course, is just what the
pictures are intenGed to do. The
views OF wonderfully rich mus sums,
public buildings, famous boulevards
and avenues, and SO on, teach the
new officer the importance OF his JOB
as the citys protector as nothing else
would.
Next come the pictures Of the
heroes OF the force who died for the
city; next those who have been
wounded in the performance OF duty,
and those who have been decorated
by 'the French government for BRAY
cry on the field Of action. Large por-
traits OF oficers wearing the cross OF
the legion of honor smile down upon
thu fledgling brother. These pictures
are admittedly mere preface to tho
real course, nicely calculated to awak-
en- patriotism, pride and ambition in
the breasts of beginners on the force.
