German Side of the War

On Monday afternoon and evening
at the Majestic, will be shown for the
first time in this city the real German
war films, these pictures are actual
photographs taken right on the battle
fields by the official staff of the Ger
man army and are presented here under
the special permission of the general
staff in Berlin and show not only the
German side of the conflict but also
the true situation of the armies OF the
allies and their modes of life in the
trenches and battlefelds. All the inter
esting and historical events to date OF
the great war win be shown and these
pictures will bring to the auditor the
war as it really is. The pictures are
ones that should not be missed by young
or old, and are being shown for the
express purpose of letting the Ameri-
can public judge for themselves the
status of the conflict, you may have
seen any number of war pictures but a
majority of them are fakes and posed
for by supers and actors, but these
German war films are genuine and taken
as before stated right on the ground
where the fighting is going on.-Adv.s

LECTURE BY SIR DAWSON
Australian Explorer and Scientist Will
Tell of Trip to South Pole

Australia no longer depends upon
weathermen' s forecasts for warnings of
the terrific and sudden storms that Oft
EN- sweep up from the Antarctic with
such disastrous effect.
Far down on the great ice barrier
that always and always guards the
South Pole lonely wire stations flash
the warnings from station to station
across some thousands of miles to the
coast masts Of the great island. As a
rule the people of Australia have the
advantage of twenty four, thirty-six
and even forty-eight hours warning in
which to hustle herds and focks from
the fields to places of safety, prepare
for snow -jambs, high water, protect the
crops and in otherwise get ready to
meet what in by-gone years had been
the most serious obstacle 10 successful
agricultural development in Australia.
All that has been changed by Sir
Douglas Mawson, the Australian South
Polar explorer and scientist who after
weary years of patient search and after
undergoing untold hardship, was able
to set up four wireless stations stretch
ing into the darkness of the Antarctic
Circle by which the first icy breaths Of
the on-coming storms could be flashed
ahead for miles before the storm-king
really got thoroughly on his job.
For that accomplishment incidentally
the Australian was made knight OF
Old England.
Sir Dougles, who has frequently been
a guest of King George and Queen
Mary, of England, will be the guest of
the Natural History Society at the Ma.
jestic Tuesday, when he tells of his re-
marka'ble trip to the South Polar re-
gions. The general seat sale opened to-
day and there was a big demand for
tickets. The fact that the prices have
been fixed at such reasonable figure
has been big drawing card.
The Natural History Society will
also entertain Governor Brumbaugh as
its guest and one of the boxes has been
set aside for the chief executive and
his party.

LOADING A SOLDIER
Weights the Privates in European Arm
les Have to Garry

The weight a soldier in active serv-
ice has to carry often becomes bur-
den, and frequently in retreat or a
fight much of it is thrown away.
Nearly all the soldiers belonging to
European armies have to carry about
with them in the field kit which
ranges in weight from thirty eight to
sixty-one pounds.
The equipment that the different SOL
diers carry about with them is very
similar. 1t generally comprises a rifle
and bayonet, with rags and so on for
keeping them clean; an intrenching
tool and, of course, number of rounds
of ammunition. Then there are the
various articles of clothing, with
changes, and a first aid outfit
All the soldiers with one exception
carry knife, fork and spoon, water
bottle and mess tin. The Russians,
who are the exception, carry a wooden
spoon only. which they keep in their
boots. There is also supply of food
carried and generally one or two re-
serve or emergency rations. Together
with an overcoat and the knapsack and
similar accoutrements, the load to be
carried in a considerable one.
The Russians carry most, the weight
working out at sixty y-one pounds, while
the British, French and Germans come
next in order, carrying weights of for
ty-seven, forty-four and thirty-eight
pounds respectively.-Pearson 8 Week

CLEANLINESS MADE WORTH WHILE

Children are very often averse to cleanliness for
no better reason, perhaps than that it is easy for
them to be dirty while no incentive is given them
to be clean. They may be told that they look better
when they are neat and spotess, but children are
not self-conScous enough to care much for looks
when they are having their fun. They may be in
structed then, toO that cleanliness is essential to
good health and that it is next to godliness, but
they can hardly be blamed if these statements un-
supported by substantial evidence, do not fully
convince them.
The Bristol Welfare Society is seeking to make
cleanliness worth while by offering the children of
the town moving picture entertainment in return
for neat appearance. From four hundred to eight
hundred youngsters are every Saturday afternoon
literally admitted on their good looks to movie
theatre, and it is reported that the little applicants
for tickets have been careful to meet all require
ments that so far not one has been turned away
The Saturday afternoon cry: II don t wanna be
washed" is probably replaced in Bristol by the
plea: Wash me, ma l wanna go to the movies -
and the mothers of the community must be graft
fed by the change conditions have taken. When
soap and water, instead of being avoided are in
vited, mothers probably great deal of energy
that they would ordinarily expend on Saturday aft
ernoons, alternately coaxng and commanding dirty
little insurgents to submit to the necessary scrub
bing.
The advantage obviously lies in rewarding chill
dren for courting cleanliness rather than in pun
lshing them for abstainng from it. A washing
is generally punishment enough for children who
prefer dirt to soap suds, and the only way it can
be made desirable to them is to put it in the light
OF means to definite end, an end which holds
out all the glorious promises of, for example, a
movie" show.

RocKEFELLER CARNEGIE, ENTERTAINERS

John D. Rockefeller Sr and Andrew Carnegie
yesterday afternoon appeared on the same bill in
what might almost be described vaudeville act,
but which actually was hearing before the United
States Commission on Industrial Relations which is
investigating charge that philanthropic founda-
tions such the Oil King and the Iron Master
have created out of their millions may become a
menace to human liberty. incidentally both of the
great captains of industry said they did not believe
there could be anything harmful in the foundations
and told their for such belief but the great
est public interest in the hearing centered in the
opportunity presented to the big crowd present to
be entertained by these two noted men,
Mr. Carnegie was dressed in sober black while
Mr.. Rockefeller was arrayed in mixed business
suit and wore green tie with an emerald pin
thrust jauntily through it. Yet the Iron Master
was by far the more jovia of the two, despite his
sombre attire Both, however, were very willing
witnesses Indeed Mr.. Rockefeller had not been
expected to be present in person but he of his
own free will while Mr. Carnegie evidently relished
the opportunity to air his views on lots OF subjects
and to give voice to lots of genuine wtticisms that
kept the audience in constant uproar of laughter
and completely banished dignity from what pre-
sumaby were originally intended to be very earnest
proceedings
The fact that one of Mr.. Canegie's erstwhe en-
ployes at the Homestead plant had ON one occasion
referred to him Andy, in an affectionate sort
Of way, seemed to please the Iron Master i'm
mensely. In fact he referred to the fact two or
three times, from which it may be concluded that
even great capitalist who has given away 1924
657 1893 in his lifetime and still has enough left to
keep the wolf from the door, is not above feeling
keen of pleasure in the fact that one of his
wage-eaners refers to him in terms of intimate and
friendly familiarity.
Mr.. Rockefeller regarded the proceedings more
seriously. Among the interesting things he said
however, was that he would be very glad to feel
that laboring men, employed by his great enter
prises, were his partners. When asked how that
could be brought about he replied
1t is very simple. The who has money to buy one
share becomes shareholder and part owner of the
enterprise The shares he Has the greater will be
his partnership.
He didn't give any estimate Of how rapidly the
employees of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Companx
could acquire shares at the rate of wages that com
pany pays
One thing that is certain, however, is that the
testimony of Mr.. Carnegie and Mr.. Rockefeller
proved very entertaining to large and appre
ciative audience Whether it will serve as an, aid
to the commission in trying to solve the problem
it has tackled, we are not prepared to say.

Berlin View of Russians

The Russians, the critic said, had
displayed an unexpected capacity to
utilize the terrain and an accuracy in
artillery.
'.The fact that we found none of
the $4,000 enemy wounded in Lodz,
they all having been removed in good
time and transported to Warsaw, and
the further fact that Immediately after
we compelled them to retreat they of
fered such a stubborn defense are
proofs that the Russian command has
learned much from celebrated retreats
of Kuropatkin in Manchuria. -
