REFUGEE CAMP;
INTERESTING SIDE LIGHT

Nunspeet, the Netherlands, Feb. 90
-(Correspondence of the Associated
Press 1.-The life of the nine thou
sand Belgian refugees who are en-
joying the hospitality of the Dutch
authorities in vast camp here, is an
interesting side light of the war. The
camp, which is one of numerous
similar concentration centers spread
about Holland, is situated on a sandy
plain surrounded by pine woods re-
nowned for their efficacy in the
treatment of incipient tuberculosis, 1t
consists of four villages formed of
capitally arranged and commodious
huts, in which each family has a
chamber. All have board floors and
are illuminated with electric light,
In each of the villages are large
workrooms for different trades, wash
houses, baths and a children's re-
creation shed, all provided with heat
ing apparatus, while there are four
schoolhouses and a wooden church
capable of seating about 1000 people
Hospitals for ordinary ailments and
for infectious diseases, a dispensary
and several small libraries have
been either specially erected or es
tablished in houses already standing
in the neighborhood and loaned for
the purpose by charitable people.
The camp is under Dutch mill
tary guard and besides the company
of $50 soldiers, a small detachment
of county police and Belgian gend-
armes patrol the villages to keep
order. Tools necessary to all the
ordinary trades are provided and
several small huts in each village
are fitted up as workshops. The
men make or mend all their shoes
and clothes, while the women do
sewing.
1t is interesting to observe the
pride the refugees take in the deco
ration of the huts. which are sepa-
rated by wide tracts of ground. Each
shack has received its name and the
differences in the two Belgian races
Flemish and Walloon-can be
marked at once by the inscriptions
in Low Dutch or French. A small
proportion of the people are bi-
lingual, but 5000 of them speak only

outside, and of a sudden, the hos
pital building is shelled and Clara
is killed
Maggie rushes to her aid, but,
discovering she is dead, is in the act
of getting the girls few belongings
together when she comes upon the
photograph of a child, together with
several letters belonging to the dead
girl, several of which she has al
ready seen. Among these is a letter
from Mrs. Grosvenor, Clara's
grandmother, welcoming her to her
home, and stating that as she has
never seen her granddaughter, she
is anxious to meet her.
At this moment Maggie is handed
cablegram addressed to Clara, and
she being her only friend, opens and
reads the message. She has an idea:
The girl is dead She, Maggie, is
without friends or money. Why can
she she not impersonate Clara and
answer the cablegram in person?
The cablegram notifies Clara Gros
venor of the death of her uncle,
Henry Grosvenor, and of the fact
that she has been named as his
heiress. Maggie decides to take the
chance.
This is a partial synopsis of a
very strong and interesting picture,
at Theatorium Tuesday.

ner in pieces of Silver" will be
presented. This very original motion
picture is built upon thought. There
is not a thinking woman or man
on earth but would be most deeply
interested in the story of Sister Ber-
nice and her struggle to express the
beauty and wonder of her soul
through the materiality of the flesh.
The picture is made in five chapters,
the projecting length of which is
about one hour and twenty minutes.
The photography is perfect.
Are the sublimest motives of a
woman's heart never understood by
men," This and many other
thoughts are brought out in this pic
ture. Helen Gardner herself plays
the lead, and it is photodrama
that will make you feel better for
having witnessed.

In this powerful drama, Miss

"MRS. WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE

Today and tomorrow, the world
famous Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage

people have read this book that they
feel they know 'Lovey Mary" and

Seeing them in motion pictures will
be almost the same as meeting them

staged and produced.

Dorothy Phillips, the creator of

greatest play, "The Thief"
Henri Bernstein has written many
good plays. Amongst them all THE
Thief" stands preeminent. 1t is
his supreme success. The plot may
be told in a few words.
The heroine, young woman of
weak character but with an infinite
capacity for love, has centered her
affections upon man of social posi-
tion. Without beauty or wealth she
has no means of attracting his at
tenton, and so, in order to make her
self desirable in his eyes, she steals
large sums of money from her
friends with which she buys beauti-
full clothes. Her peculations are dis
covered and attributed to a young
man who, knowing the truth, re-
mains silent to shield her.
That very love, however which at
first led her asiray, has ennobled and
strengthened her character, and in

"CHANGED LIVES" AT
THEATORGUM TUESDAY

Otis Turner has achieved another
tremendous artistic success in
Changed Lives" a three-reel modern
war drama featuring Herbert Raw
linson and Anna Little, which will
be shown at the Theatorium Tues
day. The photography and locations
in the drama are in all cases beau
tiful and well selected in some in
stances they show the hand of a
master who is not satisfied with the
expected but constantly is striving
to outdo even himself.
The war views excel in realism
the scenes of warfare taken on the
firing line in France and Flanders
by the Animated cameramen. The
shelling of a hospital and the scenes
of destruction in a quarter of Ant
werp exposed to the fire Of hostile
artillery are little short of marvellous.
The story Of the play surpasses any
thing of its kind in excitement and
realism of enaction.
Maggie Cline, a slavey, is sudden
ly discharged from her position and
registers as a Red Cross nurse in
an improvised hospital on the firing
line.
She meets and becomes the conf
dant of Clara Grosvenor, also a
nurse, who tells her much of her
past life. While they are about their
duties, great havoc is being done

HOW THE BRITISH MAKE
THEIR EXPLOSIVES S

London, Feb. 20.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. )-How the
British make their explosives is de-
scribed by writer who was given
permission to go through a factory
that is now turning out much of the
materials used in the British and
French shells.
The factory grounds are connected
by telephones and tram lines, says
the writer, and in addition to the
buildings there are a number of en-
bankments. Some of the sheds are
highly dangerous. First among these
comes the nitrating room in which
a tank filled with mixture of nitric
and sulphuric acid is kept in a state
of violent agitation by means of COM
pressed air jets, shot up from the
bottom. Above the acid, a small
stream of pure glycerine trckles in.
Below the vat is pool of water, in
which the vats contents may be
drowned were the mixing to go
wrong. The acids, when mixed with
the glycerine, become nitro glycerine
ten times more powerful than gun
powder and likely to explode at the
slightest shock.
The fumes arising from the tank
are closely watched while the con-
tents are cooled by means of chilled
brine, forced through a coil OF pipes
at the bottom. Should the slightest
trace of red appear, the attendant
must drown the stuff in a second
When ready, the crude explosive
runs through lead pipes to another
room. There it is allowed to settle
in vats, and the surface is SKINNED
off. If the compound has not been
properly mixed, a ring of peacock
green appears on the surface Of the
tank, and the attendants dash out
of the building, to save themselves,
if they can.
The third building is devoted to
the washing of the nitro -glycerine
to get rid of the excess free acid
Two washings are gone through, the
first in purewater agitated by COM
pressed air jets, and the second time
in water to which a strong solution
of soda has been added to neutral
ize the remaining traces of acid.
Nitro glycerne is now used for
many purposes in the form already
reached. But to make dynamite, it
is taken to a fourth shed, where
finely ground wood pulp and Chilean
saltpetre are added. This yellowish
soapy mixture is harmless unless
fired by strong concussion, generally
by a cap of illuminate of mercury,
an explosive that goes off at the
merest touch.
Dynamite is rarely used in tor
pedoes, because gun cotton is more
convenient. Some forms of it, how
ever, enter into submarine mines.
The making of melinite and picric
acid and of trinitro toluol, the ter
rible explosive used in aerial bombs,
is kept from the public, while abso-
lutte secrecy surrounds the making of
cordite, lyddite and the mysterious
''B" powder. Not even the work
men and chemists employed in max
ing these explosives know the COM
binations into which they are mixed
for service use. 1t is said that. some
of the materials turned out in the
explosive factories, which employees
and chemists think are absolutely
necessary to the production of SER
vice charges, are not used at all
They are asked for simply to mis-
lead possible traitors who would be-
tray government secrets.

THE HARVESTERS
By Walt Mason

The harvest is ended the harvest of wheat and toilers who wended around in the heat, at stacking and shocking and leading the racks, are cityward walking, with aches in their backs
 they're cheerfully going where troubles are burned, intent upon blowing the money they earned. They labored like thunder their money to get; you'd think from that plunder they'd part with re- great you'd think they would save it. and, when it must go, with teardrops they'd lave it, the teardrOps of woe. But that sort of action would give them a pain; there's no satisfaction in any thing sane. Their thoughts they are giving to painting the earth, to nights of high living and wassail and mirth. And that is the reason why hOboes aboutn; in harvesting season ten mill lions are found. The children sorrow, who never can win, all thoughts of the morrow connected with gin. When farmers are calling for help, for their wheat, you see the buns falling all over their feet; you see them come drilling from alley and news. to sweat for a shilling and blow it for booze.
