WAR PICTURES WILL BE
 SHOWN TWO MORE DAYS

while the children perch upon their knees
 The series of scenes showing the desolation in Belgium are remark able while the effects of modern artillery fire are vividly shown.
 For thrills, two scenes are unrivalled when it is considered that the pictures were made at the risk of the photogra~ pher's life. The first and perhaps the best shows a cavalry charge by a regi- ment Of Bavarian troopers. The pho tographer was stationed on one side and the entire regiment swept past the camera. There was a ditch with a high embankment immediately in front of the camera and the scene as troop after troop swept over, men vel ling and officers brandishing their swords is indescribable. As the troop CTS move forward the camera turns and follows them until they disappear in the smoke of battle.
 The second scene shows the crossing of the River Lys by the Germans in the face of French infantry fire. The picture shows both sides firing and a hand hand struggle for possession of the bridge.
 Another thrilling picture Is one showing bayonet charge and hand to-hand fight for a village The pie lures are vivid and clear-cut and there is no trouble in picking out details.

A dispatch from San Juan Del Sur, Tues- day night, said a revolutionary move- ment had begun in the state of Esteli, Nlcaragna.

Only two more days remain in which The Age-Herald pictures of the war in Europe may be seen at the Jefferson theatre. Today and tomorrow there will be four performances each day. The shows begin at 2:3O. 1. 7:so and g o'clock.
 These pictures of the war are the most remarkable ever shown in Bir- mingham and offer the people of this city an opportunity, to witness the greatest drama of the ages almost "in the flesh" The only thing lacking to make the scenes which flash across the canvas real is the noise of the thunder of the guns.
 The pictures show the intimate life of the trenches the photographer not confining himself to the spectacular and sensational One of the most char acteristic incidents shown is the meth cd of the German soldiers in shelter ing themselves from the rain. An other shows the men answering mess call' and gathering around the famous travelling kitchens. Another scene shows the soldiers fraternizing with the inhabitants of a captured French town, swapping cigars and stories

The Wrong Dope

The Wrong Dope
IN it's issue of Tuesday, Sept 7th,
the Arizona Gazette contains an ar
ticle to the effect that Reese Web
ster, who went to Oswego, Kansas,
with the body of his wife, had died
at that place from injuries which he
received in the automobile accident
near Deming last week. There is
no truth whatever in the statement
as Mr.. Webster telegraphed Hon.
Ben M Crawford of Clifton on Mon
day stating that although still suf-
ifering from his injuries he was all
fright And on Thursday Mr.. Craw-
ford received a telephone message
from Mrs. Frank Webster, of Pima,
to practically the same effect and
that he would not be able to travel
for a few days. This is supposed
to be a prohibition state but we are
doubtful of the brand of soda water
1.-THE Gazette reported has been i'm
bibing and would advise him here
after to adhere strictly to water.

Du,'can to Celebrate

pu"can to Celebrote-
Duncan will celebrate the compile
ton of the new 1900 foot bridge
acros the Gila river on Saturday,
September 18th, with a Watermelon
Day. The celebration is in charge
of the Duncan Improvement Club,
and will be held in the afternoon.
Several tons of watermelons have
been contracted for, besides loads of
peaches, pears and other fruit, and
the people of Duncan invite all to
come and participate in the celebra-
ton. There has been no bridge in
Duncan since last December, and
now that the river can be crossed
without disagreeableness, the owners
of automobiles will again be tempted
to make trips to the Duncan valley.

The trip to Springerville and st.
Johns was made without mishap, but
heavy rains in that section made
travelling in cars very slow, and the
boosters received hearty encourage
ment all along the line. The Board
of Supervisors of Apache county
held meeting on Monday night at
which time they gave their endorse
ment to the Springerville-C Clifton
highway. The, Clifton representa-.
tives are exerting their utmost eff.
forts in behalf of this highway which
will mean so much to this district
and the example set by the Apache
county Board of Supervisors in their
action on Monday will undoubtedly
be followed by other official bodies
along the route of the proposed new
road.
There is no question about the value
of the road to the Clifton-Morenci
district should it materialize and up
on the return of the Clifton party il
is expected that they will have good
news to report concerning the ulti
mate success of their efforts in that
direction.

The probabilities are that Hatties-
burg has the most neutral mayor of
any city in the country.
The neutrality of Mayor Batson was
exemplified in most striking way in
Police Court this morning, as follows.
John James, Pole, was arrested
under railroad trestle by Policeman
Buchanan and Beverly, and brought
into Police Court on the charge of
vagrancy. Where the prisoner got
that distinctly American name OF
John James he didn't know enough
of the English language to explain.
He tried to tell Mayor Batson what
he was doing in Hattiesburg. The
only words the mayor could under
stand were mo job" and mo money"
why aren't you back home fight
ing?" the mayor ashed the prisoner, a
stalwart looking fellow.
Eight? What about?" James ask,

Russian or the German. James init
mated taat he wanted to get bach
home, any way.
He said that his partner" was tt
