''TRlLBY."
As Reviewed by vivid" Cunning.

This is the greatest combination
of artistic presentation, dramatic
strength. and effective atmosphere
ever shown in this country as a
film. From these view points. NJ
TOurneur has given US the great
est ocering to date. "Trilby'
places that genial gentleman def
initcly as a supreme master OF
the art of film production. Beau
tiful Clara Kimball Young has
given us a portrayal which un-
folds new depths in even this
most popular star. Her "Trilby"
will never be forgotten. She reg
istercd her emotions with an ar
.tistic touch that carried hidden
strength. Her bio scenes were
truly wonderful. Mr.. Lakay 'es
Interpretation Of "Svengali" has
now been transferred to the films.
To the millions. now he will al
ways stand as "The Svengali."
Chester Barnett handled "Litt'c
Billie" in a manner that adds
much to this Young mans laurels.
There was quiet STRENGTH and
appeal in his work which regis
tered strongly. The film is a su-
premc triumph for the great d.
rector. He has buildcd atmos-
phere that is perfect, he has car
ricd us from one landoto another
with convincing effects, his dra-
matte tempo registered evenly
throughout and builded to the big
climax with perfect and impress
sive contracts. The human touch
es inserted at just the right mo-
mcnts. along with exquisitely
lighted bits of artistry, are
enough to carry the apprcciative
members of an audience into
ecstasies. BY all means see
"Trilby" as presented at the 44th
street theatre it naturally has the
advantage Of perfect music but
this film will be success where
ever shown. To-day NJ. Tour
neur is known in the trade as 4
master and charming gentleman.
Tomorrow he will be known to
the millions as one Of the greatest
producers Of films the world has
known. "Trilby" is the sort of
production to make even the
initiated ask "who made it?"
Don't miss "Trilby" and when
you see it remember to pay
little mental tribute to one NJ

PUJO URGES DEMOCRATS TO

Man Deserves Reward For

An appeal to Democrats to

both Of his ability and the fight
he has made, and is making. to

by former Congressman \. T..

from Lake Charles. He said:
For the first time since the

ARMY AND NAVY NEWS
Best Service Column in City.

officials Of the War Department are
watching with interest the development
Of new hand grenade, the shape and
size OF baseball. which is described as
more deadly than any of those in use IN
the European war.
The weapon was invented by an Ameri-
can army officer on duty in the War De-
partment, who is spending practically all
his time in perfecting IT, This little in
strument of warfare, because of its SINH
lartty to the big league" baseball, can
be placed with deadly accuracy and
handled In such way as to offer no
danger to the person throwing IT.
A little instrument which Is held in the
hand and retained there after the ball
Is thrown figures in the use Of the new
grenade. The instrument gives the ball
slight twist as it leaves the hand and
sets a plunger in the grenade, So that
1t explodes when II reaches its destina-
ton. II thrown in the ordinary way IL
will not explode.
The throwing of the new grenade rep
resents the same theory as the famous
spit ball" army experts assert. With
the use Of this grenade. officers declare,
there is no reason why the army men
OF this country should not develop an
accuracy surprising that OF any soldiers
In the world.
1t is second nature for almost any man
reared in the United States to throw
fairly accurately. The accuracy with
which baseball players throw has lons
been the wonder of foreigners who have
watched the great American game.
An officer of the United States Marine
Corps recently said that the efficiency
exhibited even by raw recruits in throw.
ing grenades is marvellous.
II was with this in mind that the War
Department authorized the development
OF the baseball bomb. It can be throw
farther and more swiftly than any othel
form Of grenade. and these features to.
gether with accuracy and safety, place
II, according to the official view here, far
Ia advance of anything OF the sort eve!
before devised.
In spite OF every precaution, the hand
grenades In use in the European war
zones explode by accident and cause
great damage. Men drop them in handIin!
or when running over rough ground In
charge. These dangers are eliminated
by the use of the baseball bomb it is as
serted

AFTER DINNER POLITICS
The Gadsden Purchase.
By DIR. Y. J. EDWARDS.

Some time in the late sos c. c. Clarke
went from New York to Southern Cali
fornia. and after remaining there for the
winter returned and by choice made the
return trip by the same railroad GROUP
which he had used when going to Cab
fornia.
Mr.. Clarke could have Travelled on any
railroad in the United States and oc-
cupied any sleeping gear compartment
without paying any fare. He was for
many years vice president Of the Van
derbilt railroad companies, having charge
of the financial department
Il came back" said Mr.. Clarke TO me
few days after his return from Cali
fornia, ''by the southern route so that
might have second opportunity OF
looking at that part OF the country which
is commonly called the 'Gadsden pur-
chase l knew that we secured that
great area-1 think II is about as large
as the entire area Of the State Of New
York-through.the energy and persistence
OF William L. Marcy, who was Secre-
tary Of State under President Pierce, and
| who when I was a young man serving
as deputy State treasurer at Albany was
kind enough TO show friendship for me
! Either Marcy or some one person
ally associated with him told me that
the Secretary wanted 10 secure that
area for two reasons One was the
rectihcstion Of a state that had been
made by the police commissioners
who, with the Mexican commissioners
arranged a treaty Of peace in ls4s
Marcy knew-for he was Secretary Of
/ War at the time-thst the Mexican
commissioners had by excessive hospi-
tality hoodwinked the American com
missioners, leading them to accept q
different boundary from the one the
government contemplated. When Marcy
became Secretary Of State. he decided 10
persuade Mexico. by the payment Of a
large sum Of money, so to change the
| boundary line as 10 give us the great
area south Of Arizona and New Mexico.
The other reason why Marcy was
anxious to secure this territory lay in
the fact that at the time there was a
great deal Of talk about a railroad to
the Pacific Coast and the best route was
presumed to be by way Of the Gila River
valley. II the United States secured
that area then we would have a most
available route for a Pacific railroad
When I passed through this area
which became known as the 'Gadsden
purchase to my astonishment I found
that it was a superb garden land for the
| United States That was something
Marcy never thought Of In his view.
| the area was Practically worthless for
any purpose excepting the fixing Of a
and the providIn OF & suitable Pacific
route I wondered when looked al the
evident prosperity and great development
