of War Garrison, Major Gen. Wood,
Major General Scott, and other emf
nent men, all of whose material is
edited by Frederick Palmer, the great
est of war correspondents, an author
ity on the question, and Of whom it
has been said, she has seen more war
than any other American citiZen."
These Photographs have visualize0
thought. They have brought to the
screen the gross inadcquacy Of our
army, in the departments Of the cav
airy, infantry, gunnery and its other
Eparticulars, ard have cOnstructiVely
compared it with what it should be
under adequate conditions, If the gov
eminent had carried out Unhampercl
at any time the stated requirements
of the officers who were DESTROYS foG
years of bringing the army and navy
to a standard as high numerically as
it stands efficiently.
Installation of thought, may it be
explained, is the first real attempt
made through the medium Of the
screen to have people think. The
photo dramatic theatre, since its very
inception, has been the peoples best
possession. 1t has given them history,
manners, travel and drama, but the
chief function for years was to furnish
amusement. The majority thought of
it in no other way. The new method
of stimulating thought is entirely up
O-date. The theory of schooling the
young. the principle upon which the
successful kindergartens are operated
Chat teaching should be in such pleas
ant form that the pupil does not realize
that he is being given dose of knowl
edge-he thinks it is all play, just
something to delight him for the mo-
ment) is what is being accomplished
in the INSTALLATION of the thoughts of
the great thinkers on the subject of
preparedness, through these Para
mount Photographs.
Visualized impressions are valuable.
Torcible speech will make deeper
impression than written words. So
visualized thoughts are more potent |
than speech. They make people think,
and think of vital things; they are be-
coming virtual motion picture uni
versity.
Is there then any wonderment in the
minds of the American layman why |
the motion picture screen should have |
been brought into play for the foster
ing of the campaign for our prepared
ness for defence? Is it to be wondered |
at that the country's greatest men have
come forward and told on the screen,
not merely their words, but their words |
first and then their thoughts visualized |
in pictures, their vital ideas on pre-
paredness. |
AS a concrete example Of the method
of the utilization of the screen for the |
the thoughts on prepared
ness, take for instance the fact that |
Mr.. Palmer states on the screen 1--WE |

NEW LAND MAP
FOR MANHATTAN
Discrepancies in Old Map Are

The Tax Commissioners have filed in
the Registers Office the certified o p OF
the new land map for New York county,
This map has been prepared under the
authority Of an amendment to the CITY
Charter passed IN 1915 and takes the
place OF the land map established in 1891.
The original land map. which was pre-
pared in 1890 and tool effect January !,
1891. divided the city into numbered
blocks for indeNing purposes. Since 1891
many street changes have occurred.
notably because OF civic Improvement
OF one Kind or another.
In spite of these changes, the technical
land map remained unchanged. The re-
suit WAS Increasing confusion in deter
mining the legal or technical iudeNinr
block for lots within areas where changes
have occurred.
The confusion was increased by tho
fact that while the land mar stood as
of 1891 the tax map has been kept un
to date and in pace with actual street
changes, Commercial aliases In genera,
use in real estate and other Offices have
been prepared from the tax maps. Ta>
bills are rendered according TO the blocks
and lots OF the tax map Land owner,
therefore, have become generally familiar
with the tax map. but often have not
known that the land map differs from the
tax map, which has resulted In inuumCr-
able errors in recording Instruments.
The new land map will correct this.
