AMoviss" at odson Depict Scenes Of
European War.
Glimpses ,of the great war from the
German side were shown large audi
ences at the Odeon Saturday and Sum
day. Those who expected ITO see battle
scenes of fighting spread out before
them were disappointed. To describe
correctly the pictures they are rather
views Of the munitions, Announcements
and machines Of war, ships guns and
arms. of soldiers marching, of wagon
trains in service and some views OF
battlefields. A few glimpses Of 'skir-
mishes early in the war, between the
Germans and French. in Alsace, were
the nearest to real fighting the audi
ence saw. Some Of the more interest
ing scenes showed the utter ruin that
is left in the wake of the armies
:. In fact all of the films wsra~ taken
in the early months Of the war. Ruins
in Belgium and eastern Prussia, Eng
fish, Scotch, French and Russian pris-
oners in concentration camps were
thrown on the screen. Some views Of
the Germany navy, were shown. and
some OF the heavy artillery Of the army
was seen in action. Altogether the
films were fairly interesting, altho
some Of them were poor and caused
eye strain watching them.
Sol w. Seelig, formerly Of this city,
explained the pictures as they were
shown. The company prodncing the
pictures gives Is per cent OF tnessnst
proceeds Of each performance to = fund
for the building Of a home for wa
orphans to be built in Germany after
the close Of the war.

heard the principal speeches Of the day
at the Odeon Sunday afternoon. After
an Invocation by Rev. ]. n. Rich and
an Introduction by Rev. o. d. Elicit,
Miss Ray Beverage, in the costume Of
a Red Cross nurse. told Of some Of her
experience in Europe, and made a
plea for unhyphenated Americans
Miss Beveridge contended that Amer
lea was suffering from the effects Of
the war because all energies were de-
voted 10 them anufacture Of war ma
terials. Miss Beverage contended that
America should be making her own
war materials to use In case there
should be Q need against our enemies.
the Japs.r
In describing the suffering she had
Witnessed among the warning nations.
she used several striking figures to A.
lustrate the great carnage and slaugh-
ter that Is taking place, Speaking OF
the regent woman suffrage parade
which marched up Fifth avenue, New
York, Tor three hours, she declared 1t
would take sixteen days and sixteen
} nights. for, all the dead to march up
Filth avenue, and were the. wounded
edded ito the procession. II would be
Jbrty-sfx days and nights before the
desolate procession ended. Miss Beve-
ridge closed her address with an appeal
to Americans not to "let this blood be
= upon their heads"
cummins eafs a. Nations Head.
Colonel Darling appealed to the audi
( ence to be neutral He gave Web
ster's defnition Of the word, "Not en-
gagged on. or assisting either side" From
this he drew many conclusions. inti-
mating that America was constantly
violating this definition by shipping
arms. and stating that the American
people should protest strongly and
vshemently against such state Of at
fairs.
Turning to the farewell address of
washington. the speaker called upon
his hearers to remember what the nrst
father OF his country told his people
concerning the insidious wiles Of for
eign influence" and how the jealousy
OF free people oughtsto be constantly
awake. Colonel Darling drew hearty
applause when he referred to "a man
from Iowa." who were he at the ma
tion's head, would manage and plan in
such . competent and diplomatic man-
ner," that all doubts for the safety Of
the nation would be set at rest.
Colonel Darling spoke on the same
subject, that. Of an embargo on arms,
at the Presbyterian church in the
morning and the Methodist church in
the evening. At $3.50 he addressed the
members Of the soldiers home in the
chapel. Cards were passed among the
audience at the Odeon In order that
the audience might sign them and de-
clare themselves in favor Of promoting
