WONDERFUL SYSTEM 0F
 GERMAN ARMY SHOWN
Battle of Przemysl Film Revelation in Military Methods of Teutonic
 Allies

Just as no mere motion picture can portray the realities of the Euro pean war, is mere phraSeology poWerless to convey a convincing picture of what the Fall of Prz- emysl'' looks like in movies. Sort of double back handed compliment be- ing paid to the product of one Daw son, who adventured among the Austro- Germans recently to film one of their great military enterprises the reduction of the chief city of the Galician marches.
 The Przemysl pictures were screen ed yesterday at the Columbia for a
 gathering of newspapermen and Wo- men, in order that the demands of the space bandits might not be met with cold looks and discouraging words While there was not the hand to hand fighting. and bayonets
 sticking into persons ribs, nor the human fragments charging the skies as the big shells burst, the photos gave a new line on what the world has been calling German system and ] organization" And this in itself constitutes a marvel far above the
 ordinary wonders of the war.
 1 How Germany has Withstood the ] assaults of the allied nations. and i how she has now forced her way deep into the surrounding hostile countries, is not to be wondered at.
 now that a glimpse has been had of the results of military ideas, inn planted in the German by lifelong association with things military. The Germans filmed in this production acted as though war were to them merely a business, to be handled just as economically swiftly and easily as any other carefully managed enter
 prise. To see army life in Europe
 displayed on the screen, from the
 baking of millions of loaves of bread.
 to the loading of huge mortars, IS
 to lose some of that incredulous won
 der at how they do it."

THE CRY OF THE FIRST BORN

And woman may bear twenty chll- dren again, or she may listen to all the cries of all the little children born into the world for as long as her life shall last, but the first cry of her first-born, she will know that little cry from out of them all. Sixty years and more that was, and 'tis singing again in my ears And always it will. And from that first cry my mind went -on-every hour or his growth to the last day had nursed him on the cliff in the sun, he looking up from my breast to my face and then wisely out over the sea, as if himself too, was waiting the sight of the brown yawl of his father sailing in from the West-F'rom Mother Machree" by James B.
