LIFE
OF tl|HU ROOT
ANARCHISTS ATTEMPT LIFE OF
NOTED AMERICAN BY SETTING
FIRE 10 BRIDGES OVER WHICH
he TRAVELS.

TOXIC. Aug. An attempt to
wreck or burn the train on which
Eiihu Root. head OF the American
mission to Russia, was riding was
made BY anarchists at viatka station.
In Siberia. according to travellers from
Russia arriving here today.
BRIDGES ahead Of Roots train were
set afire just as Root was entering
Siberia. The train was stopped be.
fore It reached the burning structures
and was delayed for 80 hours while
the damage was repaired. Then, as
Root was about to start again, Viatka
station and storehouse were set afire
aud the blaze spread to the railway
coaches there. ~
Three trains were burned and the
Root train was threatened, but the
American mission escaped.
Mrs. Gregory Mason of New York
declared that after the storehouse
aid coaches caught fire, blazing cars
were pushed down the track to the
w'ndward OF the Root train, 60 that
the breeze carried the flames directly
against the train occupied by the
American mission. The coolhess Of
the engineer Of Roots train saved
the mission. As the blazing cars ap.
preached he backed his cars rapidly
out Of danger.
Mrs. Mason declared Root remained
perfectly calm during the fire.
While en- route thru Russia the
Americans saw German prisoners
freely fraternising with Russian SOL
diers and workmen and joining In
their speech-making.

ANOTHER BLUE BIRD FILM

AS exemplifying her views, Miss Full
Ter is called upon to interpret in ''The
Strength of the Weak" the role of a
girl betrayed by her legal guardian. Her
eagerness to gain an education and bene-
fit herself in ambitious ways, plus the
lying promises of the man who should
haze protected her, directly led to her
moral undoing.
Some years later the son of the man
wEo betrayed her, meets and falls in
love with the heroine of the story; she
loves him in return, and once again is
LETT to solve a momentous problem ac-
cording to her individual lights. Her
problem is solved in photoplay realism
by Miss Fuller, and an excellent COM
pany of which Edwards Davis is the
leading man.
Although feminine weakness, over
come by the strength of villalnous pur-
pose, is the inspiration Of the story, there
IS a great moral taught II II the problem
and in the manner il which the girl and
the man, she at length truly loved, solved
it for themselves.

AMERICAN ENTRANCE

London, March 27.-The possibility
of American participation in the war
on the side of the allies was dismiss
ed as a minor matter by General Won
Stein, Prussian minister of war, in
an interview with the Berlin CORE
spondent Of Budapest newspaper,
according to Berlin dispatch to Reu-

General Won Stein said he did not
know whether the American fleet
would support the British feet, but
that there could be no question Of an
American continental army in the
near future. He added
"Our military situation on all fronts
is good and justifies our best hopes.
It appears that the enemy is preparing
an offensive, but we shall resist even
a stronger attack, not only at the front
but at home. 4
"What may happen then we do not
know, but come what may, we shall
confront everything imperturbably.
Our sufferings are great and our
sacrifices gigantic, but it is just in
these things that the greatness of a
nation finds It's expression" IT,

WONDERFUL COLOR EFFECTS

Gre cannot view D. ". Griffith S
new colossal spectacle ''INTOLER-
ANCE', which will open its local
Engagement at the Mankato Theatre
March 29-3o-31 without, being impr assed
! to the point Of wonder by the marvellous
coloring Of the various scenes. Here
! tofore all attempts at colcr photography
in connection with the silent drama have
! brought. very crude results. Mr.. Grit
filth, whose innovations and inventions
on the technical side Of picture making
have done so much to bring the photo
play to its present projected state, by
the use Of special prism and double
negatives has succeeded in getting color
ed effects never before deemed possible
Due to this unique process many of the
scenes in INTOLERANCE" take on
tie appearance OF oil paintings executed
by matters OF their art. For instance, the
views of ancient Babylon, chat most pct
uresque and prodigal living OF old world
cities, present some Of the most beauti-
ful color effect photography in the his
tory of motion pictures. In the Baby
lonian episode are shown thrilling battle
scenes on and around the mighty walls
and towers of the stronghold of Bells
hazzar, the magnificent, that were pho
tographed after dark scenes startling in
their novelty, their grandeur and their
reality. The feast of Belshazzar, the
most notorious revel Of all time, as re-
produced by Mr.. Griffith, sets a stand
dard in production and photography,
that even this master director may find
it impossible to excel in any future work.
Overlooking nothing that might con-
tribute to photography Of super-ex-
cellence is an important feature of Mr..
Griffth's production methods. For
example: eight cameras working at the
same time, was no unusual sight during
the making of INTOLERANCE"
For the night battle scenes one camera
was mounted on a tower that was $50
feet in height. In this instance to offset
any vibration to the camera it was
necessary to have guy cables extend
from the top of the tower to cement
bases at the foot of the structure.
