One of the most striking scenes of

home in the vicinity of Appomatox
court house.
Donald Crisp is cast for the role of
General u S. Grant, while Lee is
enacted by Howard Gay. The men,

southern commanders are shown, and

It is we'll known that many sup

wished to prolong the struggle by
means of a guerilla warfare similar
to that used by the Beers toward the
close of the Anglo-Boer war. In
fact John Wilkes Booth supposed that

NEARS BREAKING POINT

Fear of embarrassing the president
as well as injuring their own cause
today quoted the "insurgent" broth
erhood element, who for time
threatened to disrupt the calm daily
meetings of the presidents with their
demands for action. The leaders had
pointed out to the insurgents that
thus far in the negotiations the
weight of the presidents support has
been with them and that to make
any move would embarrass him in
his negotiations and would be ex-
tremely unwise, at least. Further
more, word came from the railroad
headquarters that the managers and
presidents heard with unconcealed
satisfaction that some of the en-
ployes were clamoring for an imme-
date strike. Only by remaining calm
and exercising patience at such a
delicate stage of the negotiations, the
men were told, could the support OF
tie share of the public now in sym
pathy with them be maintained.
