ceNsoRsAoP OF MOVING PIG
 TURES By Mrs Walter Rennett

The moving picture show is. l be- lieve one of the greatest inventions of the age. pr. Von KleinSmid said Tn his lecture here, Tt is the great est influence for good or evil of any thing in our midst
 IL is one of the greatest inventions of the age: because it appeals to all races. ages and classes and because it ministers to the leisure hours of all the world
 Someone has wisely said ''The problem of the poor mans leisu is the cruX of the social problem, ' and he might have applied the same idea tO the rich man. as the hours not filled by labors are those most fraught with temptation to us all.
 IL is not necessary for me to talk to you about the instructive work of the moving pictures. You perhaps like myself can recall the time that you had not seen great pineappie plantations made real by the films of 1he pi-tureman and had always won dered Gas lady confessed to mel If the pineapple tree made a shade tstt tilVuSii tp BiNiiN tilNt'i-
 You have perhaps also enjoyed the sight of the coffe beans being picned from trees by men upon ladders anu have seen beauties of Yellowstone Park and of our own Grand Canyon as brought to our doors by the mo- ries. and can testify to the wonders of the scenes of Switzerland and the beauties of the fiords of Moray made vivid and real to us by ine same means.
 To the poor man the value of these ifaVelpictures is inestimable.
 But the pity is, that the picture man often brings before us most clearly scenes of the bar-rOom auo other places of vice. And in so:n' instances history is too vividly DOT trayed for the good of our children I recall one picture displayed 1T Phoenix at which time ] chaperone' some children. It was the murde'

ter-offensive movements against the
attacks from the Vistula, near Ivan
qorod, between the upper Vistula and
the Bug, and in the Narew sector near
Rozan.
In the eastern sector of the Lublin
region, where for days the fighting has
been extremely violent, several addi-
tional points have been evacuated by
the Russians, according to Berlin, and
they are declared to be in retreat on
both banks Of the Bug and on the front
between the Bug and south of Leczna.
The Teutons have passed through
Chelm on the heels Of the Russians.
The Russians have been elected
from the heights near Podzamcze, on
east bank of the Vistula, in the region
of Ivangorod, and to the south, near
Kurow, which lies eastward Of Nowo
Alexandria.
Thus the Teutonic allies are driv-
ing their wedges both eastward from
the Vistula and northward between the
Bug and the Vistula in their mighty
effort to capture the capital, and, if
possible. to envelop these forces Of the
Russian Grand Duke who are endeav-
oring by rear-guard actions to hold
them back in order that the main Rus
sian army may gain the positions as
signed to it on the new line along the
eastern border of Poland.
