! The Hlppodrome war p'cturcs pro- ffiuced al the Best theatre this after | l'roon and night under the auspices of | The Graphic and shown for the firs' { time in public today give a far better | idea of the actual fighting han any heretofore shown in Pine Bluff. The pictures were taken by q camera man with th" all'es. If one thinks there is glamor and romance in war some ot the pictures will remove if and leave instead the impression that ShermAn's view was tde correct one. There js one picture in particular i'll which the dead strew the ground singly. n groups and in piles, so that they served as ramparts to protect their tive comrades. And when N came to burying them il was dona in great trenches and when bodies were carted to the burial they were dumped out of tho carts with as much ccrc- money as bags of salt are mloaded or the carcasses of pigs handled But With the dead by hundreds and thou- sands there was little time for cere- mony.
 One of the surprising sights was a battle at seat, 5n which a torpedo IS seen launched from a destroyer, en- ter the side of ship and sink it' The bombardnents from sea of a town and forts was another vivid eXemplfca- ton of the tcrrors of war. The fort is destroyed. much of the town set on fire and destruction is everywhere These and other pictures we're taken al a distance Of three miles. tele= scope lenses being used. Other pc lures show village taken by the Rus sians. the Germans and Turks evacu- ating. A distressing incident is 10 see the villagers. their homes fired and destroyed leaving hurriedly for other lands with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Re nforcc- men holding a weak position and changing the tide of battle. There ie some wonderful horsemanship shown ny the cavalry. The artillery escends steep slopes. where one would think it impossible for cannon to be carried but the strong horses take the hills at full gallop.
 Battle in the Air.
 A battle in the clouds is seen. in
 which one aeronaut manueyers his machine above that of the enemy, drops a bomb and smasnes his nfa chine and aeroplane and operator fall to earth. The trenches are shown and some of the modes of trench warfare, the use of mortars and hand grenades and asphyXiatilg gases. At one place engineers are seen building a pom icon bridge; at another the French are seen trying to prevent German force from crossing bridge and the Germans are plainly seen crossing it. At several places at close fighting men are seen to drop as they are struck by bullets. Part of the fam Gus battle of the Marne is shown and Gre of the striking pictures shows q night battle in the Argonne. in which the only light $ from the shells bursting on every hand and the fire of the infantry. The pictures are fascinating and exciting. They show troops of the British, French, Canadians, Australians. Belgians. King George of England is seen re. viewing his troops There are pic, ture of the wounded. one of the sad dest being one showing a number of brave fellows who have lost both legs, but contrive to hobble along on some- thing like the old-fashioned patterns.
 The war pictures will be on exhibi- tion this afternoon and tonight.
