At VERtDUN,

Men who have served at Verdun
are said to have "a strange look in
their eyes," and the wounded thence
bear "the unmistakable stamp" of
that still most terrible spot in all the
arena of war. Here in peaceful Amer
lea we cannot see into that inferno Of
battle, or conceive of what has been
endured for six months by the heroic
defenders of France and their deter
mined foes armed with the most for
midable accumulation of artillery the
world has record of. But some idea
OF the strenuousness and horror of
Verdun may be obtained from the
following statements in a French off,
GERS account:
"Verdun is real hell. Those who
return from it may count themselves
fortunate and say that they have seen
the worst of this war. ave ar.

Germans they sent us gas cloud

the wind was from our side they fired
suffocating shells about half a kilo-
meter (one-third of a mile) behind
us, so that the wind brought the gas
back on us. Thus we were obliged to

TREASURE TROVE.
Like to hunt for buried treasure?

Like to hunt for buried treasure?
No trouble at all.
Next time you meet man with a
Crouch, study him. He may look grim
and forbidding, but you'll find his
face lights up, perhaps, at mention of
his grandchildren, or the new flivver,

There's your buried treasure,

play, "The Rack" The original stage
drama was written by Thompson
Buchanan, who provided the famous
theatrical manager with material for
one of his most conspicuous success
es.
The story is an ideal one for pic
lures. Blanche Gordon permits her
self to be involved with a disreput-
able admirer, in a roadhouse adven-
ture. The man is shot and Blanche is
tried for the murder. At the end of
narrowing scene with the district
attorney she confesses that she shot
her assailant in defense of her honor.
She is about to be sentenced when the
real murderer, an enemy Of the dead
man, who is present in court, declares
himself guilty of the crime.
Emile Chautard is the director of
the picture, and there is powerful
cast supporting Miss Brady, including
Milton Stills.
"The Rack" will be shown at the
