New York, June 24-Aside from
several sectors in the region between

farm in The region of FauXail!on,
which the army of the German crown

the region of Hurtebise and Craonne
the violent artillery duel continues
and the French guns have put down
an attempted infantry attack by the
Germans.

payne the French have been COM
PEELED under heavy concentration of
artillery fire to evacuate ground they
captured from the Germans in two
attacks last week.

Germans on various sectors in Bel

stopped the attack but themselves
took the initiative and drove back
the enemy. inficting heavy casualties

and ways Of peace, stands the autocra
cy of Germany, with her military life
Today autocracy and democracy are
in death grapple. Today we nave
revealed a nation which for years has
been using every power of the intel
lect, every secret of science, every
form of organized efficiency, not so
much to build up and better the Ger

Of the globe, to ruin the peaceful in
habitants of other countries.
Against the free peoples Of the globe,
who have placed all emphasis on in

stands autocratic Germany, that has
turned its land into q military ma

a calculated and remorseless use Of

prosperity stands in the way OF the
ambitious Pangerman scheme: AC.
cOrding to this scheme the nations
were to become mere pawns in the

The people were to bow low before
the 1900, 900 Germans and allow them
to have full sway over their future as
we'll as over their present.

DESTRUCTIVE DECEPTION

Let no man deceive you with vain
words. '-EDh. -5:G
These words of the venerable Apps
tie, st. Paul, have singular applica,
ton today when the world is confront
ed with international conflict, when
there are those who are plotting
against all that we ever considered
sacred, when there are those who ary
selling themselves to do evil, to betray
the sacred trust of their country int
the hands Of the enemy, when there
are those who after years Of peace and
comfort and prosperity in this fair
land, have suddenly cast aside their
sleeps clothing, that they might stand
exposed in all their loathsomeness a.
traitors to the land in which they have
dwelt, and from which they have reap
ed their harvests Of abundance.
Not since Fort Sumpter was fired
upon has the sky Of this republic been
so black. With France and England
we have now entered upon this war,
this war which will go down in his
tory as the most terrible, the most hor,
rible war ever waged by human beings
And the reason behind our entrance
is the need of assuring the world that
the free institutions which have been
the foundation stones of the republic
are sufficiently large and sufficiently
strong to carry the weight Of the
superstructure Of the republics life,
civilization, institutions. Yet in the
midst of this endeavor there are those
who would seek to-deeeive us, to plot
against our very life, to destroy that
which we have purchased at the cost
of the shedding of blood, that which
has been our Inheritance for genera
tons.
In the early years of this republic
the founders dedicated it to equality,
independence and self government
From this idea of a free people, frs:
made clear in the little strip along
the Atlantic coast, which was forme4
of the thirteen colonies, this idea of
the equality of the peoples, of the prin

MOTION PICTURES
ARE FEATURED in
TRAINING CAMPS
Y. NJ. C. A. Has Already Con-
Structed lis Buildings to
Show Best Films

Preparatory to the mastering in Of
the national guard and the selective
draft army Of a million men, the work
council of the Y. nj. c. A, in conjunc
ton with the Fosdiek commission on
training camp activities. has installed
motion picture machines in about go
army and navy training camps in this
country.
Nearly two million feet of film are
being shown weekly and this will be
increased eight times over when the
greater army is modified. An average
weekly attendance of one quarter mil
lion enlisted men is reported at the
motion picture exhibitions in the asso,
citation huts. BY arrangement with
the community motion picture bureau
the photoplays are now accessible at
the Y. M. c. A. buildings wherever
young men are training for the army
and navy, for aviation work and am.
bulance service, for engineering du-
ties and for coast defense.
Provision is made for one building
for each 5000 men, or, in some instan-
ces, one for each 5000 men. There
are now lis buildings and large tents
at the 80 camps, and plans are made
to double this number when the Sc
lective draft army goes into the can
tonments.
In most of the camps an average of
five exhibitions a week are given,
which aggregates 5000 showings, a
record in the motion picture bust
nees. The leading motion picture pro-
ducers and distributors of the coun-
try are cooperating in this work.

Thirty secretaries have been sen;

work is planned is a building for
each group Of about 5000 men and i
staff of five secretaries and assistants
