It was during the discussion Of the
motion picture work of the reclamation
service that Mr.. Blanchard brought up
the question of what other nations are
doing with respect to the movies"
IT am Informed" said the statistician
of the reclamation service. that the
Canadian government has set aside a
considerable sum of money-in the
neighborhood of a quarter of mil
lion dollars-to be expended on con-
certed and well planned motion picture
campaign for the advertisement OF the
Dominion.
"The Canadian authorities realize
that. at the close of the European war,
Canada will be greatly in need of men
to replace those who have fallen dur
ing the fighting abroad. Where are
these to come from? Certainly not
from Europe for the belligerent coun-
tries will be themselves very short
handed. while the neutral nations will
probably dispose Of their surplus popu-
lation nearer home.
Canada therefore considers that 1t is

1t was while exhibiting this picture
IN one OF the very sparse1y settled sec

ITO date. the United States govern

no direct appropriation for this pur-

the nest was placed was cut away 80
that the camera could command a COM

refused to lay while the movie man was
looking at her. The minute he turned
away to adjust the light or to make
sure that everything was all right with

No less than eight hens were tried

tain day an advance was planned. The
Royal Naval Division, operating with

himself It was too deep and too mar

captured Turkish fortification and went
back to his own. En- route a bit of
shrapnel got him. He was laid up, on
