.Verodunum, as IL was then called, a
magazine for his legions.
The Germans first attacked Verdun
in the sixth Gentry, when the Franks
from the northwestern part OF Ger
man took possession OF the town. BY
the famous treaty of Verdun, made on
this date in the year SAB, Verdun
formed a part of the dominions of Lo-
thaire. 1t was taken and annexed to
the German empire in 939 by Ohio l.
and placed under the temporal author
lty Of the bishops.
Verdun surrendered to France in
1853, but was not formally coded to
France until nearly a Gentry later.
During the French revolution, in 1892.
the citizens of Verdun opened their
gates to the Prussians after a BON
bardment Of a few hours. The French
commandant committed suicide and
the revolutionary government executed
a number Of others who shared the re.
sponsibility for the ignominious sur.
render, including IA girls who had Of
fered flowers to the Prussian mon
arch. The Prussians were driven GU.
after having held the town 4S days.
The Teutonic hosts again swoope'
down upon Verdun in 1870. Unable t
take the town by direct assault, the,
invested and bombarded it. and tn

her guns and proceeded to sink thir-
teen vessels in the Atlantic, two Of

The final capture in the Atlantic was
a French bark, on which 300 of the

to Rio de Janerio. The Seeadler es-

An announcement of uncommon in

ers alike is that one of the greatest
Of the years output of extraordinary
attractions involving lavish film pro-
duction, Clune's ~multiple-reel pictorial
translation of Harold Bell Wright's
famous story of love and adventure,
THE Eyes of the World" has been
booked for presentation here at the
Auditorium theatre, October 9th.
The production is described briefly
as a INSTALLATION in photo-drama on
a lavish scale-with which is coordin-
ated a musical score much the same
as in opera-of Wright's red-blooded
and romantic novel of California
which has enjoyed a sale of more than
100000 copies.
This Clune production, like "Ra-
MONA" is said to be a gorgeous one
In every respect. It is the fruitage
of six months exclusive and unremit-
ting work at the big studios at Los
Angeles and on the actual scenes de-
scribed in the book. Those who have
seen the virile characters of this de-
lightful and stirring novel moving be-
fore the eyes as they clash in the
struggle of two opposing ideals de-
clare that it is the finest depletion of
a current story ever put upon the
screen.
"The Eyes of the World" consumes
an entire afternoon or evening in its
showing. The scenario was prepared
by the noted author himself and in
performing this work he considerably
amplified his tale. which now in Wis
ual form carries the characters
through two generations.

The national army draft
board has announced a decided
change in draft regulations.
Beyond the statement that the
uncalled drafted men are to be
divided into five classes, no de-
tails have been given out. II
is a reasonable presumption
that the new regulations will
upset the serial number plan of
draft, and that the men whose
; calling 10 service would work
the greatest disturbance will
; be called last, regardless Of
their serial number. 1t Is pos
sible that single men will be
put in one class, and married
men into another. From these
two large classes the others
may come, singing out the
skilled mechanics or men whose
occupations make them of more
than ordinary usefulness.
Married men may be classified
as those having children and
those without. The details are
promised in the near future,
before another general call to
} service Is issued.
