film TEACHES GREAT
LESSON ABOUT WAR

One OF the most elaborate, as well
as one of the most interesting and in
structive, moving picture films ever
presented in Canon City. or elsewhere
for that matter, was. "Womanhood.
The Glory of the Nation" shown at
the opera house Friday afternoon at
a matinee entertainment and the fol-
lowing evening at the regular hours to
a larger patronage. Not only were
the scenes depicted remarkably good,
but the great war lessons taught by
them were stimulating to the patriot
ism of the community
II is the opinion or many people
that no series of moving pictures Were
ever delineated here quite the equal
of those thrown upon the screen Fri

more admiration and applause from
the audience They were highly spec
tacular and intensely interesting and
showed with great force and viyidness

country by predatory nations intent
upon military aggression II our gov
ernment neglected preparedness to
meet such emergencies. as those
which within the last few years have
overwhelmed Belgium, Serbia. Rou-
mania and some of the fairest por-
tions of France.
While many of the views presented
Friday night were saddening to look
upon they impressed upon the behold
er that war is always a possibility and
degree beyond the flights of the i'm
gination OF those who have never wit
messed the carnage and toll of death

What Responsibility Does.

The saying runs that as soon as a
lieutenant is made a commander he be-
gins to carry a stick. and as soon as
commander becomes captain he
turns religious" For justification of
the latter part of this assertion there
exists the undOubted fact that naval
captains are mostly serious minded
men who give some thought to the
greater things of life. Possibly their
hours of loneliness RSaK conduce to this
frame Of mind. for the most
part their leisure N Pare given up to
study Of matters connected with their
calling. One well-known captain there
was who used to hold prayer meetings,
which any member of the. ships COM
pany could attend. Remember there
are no rates to be picked up here" the
captain would warn them before the
meetings started. meaning that any
one who came there hoping to curry
favor and thus get promotion would
be disappointed. And in this the cap
tain was always as good as his word.
