TOLD OF TRENCH
FI6nTNG IN EUROPE

Scenes on the battie6elds of Elan
ders and France with their zig-zag-
ging trenches, their dead and wound
ed soldiers, burnt and battered cities,
armies of struggling men and all OF
the modern implements of war We're
shown in moving pictures on the
screen at the Opera House Thursday
night in connection with the lecture
of Sergeant Fred +. Wells of the Ca
madam oversea forces. who was a par
ticipant in the fighting at the battle
of Ypres. II was the best picorial de-
iienation of the world war now rag
ing that Canon City people have been
privileged to witness and gave an ex-
cellent idea of the great contest being
carried ON for supremacy between the
forces of autocracy and depo,ism on
the on hand and those of liberty and
democracy on the other.
The story Of the trench fighter was
told by Sergeant Wells in vivid phras-
ings. for they were the personal ex-
periences of man who had surviv
the holocaust of bomb and gas, and
bullet and shrapnel and been permit
ted TO return to the quietness of civil
life. The tale of the one-armed Ca
madam was eloquent and impressive
and made war grim reality to those
who listened to his narrative. Every
feature of the mighty conflict was de-
scribed by the speaker, or shown in
the pictures which accompanied his
lecture. 1t was an appeal to the pa
triotism of men and women who en-
joy the heritage of political freedom
to do their bit" to keep alive the
blessings they enjoy for the genera
tions yet TO be.
The animated war maps, which ex-
planned clearer than words or pho
tographs the maneuvers in the n.
battle between the British and Ger
man fleets off the coast of Jutland,
the siege and capture of Ypres and
the evacuation of Contalmaison, were
among the most illuminating scenes
shown in connection with Sergeant
Wells talk. although the others were
highly interesting and entertaining.
Verbal descriptions OF these epoch
making events are not clearly com
pretended; by means of the insen-
ious pictures displayed Thursday
night they are easily understood.
Sergeant Wells denied vigorously.
as a colonist, the stories that England
is permitting the Canadians and Aus
tralians bear the brunt Of the fight
ing. The claims of inefficiecy on the
part of the English officers were like
wise designated as instances of Ger
man propaganda.
Anecdotes OF his fellow fighting
men, intimate sketches of trench life
and his own impressions of under fire
added realism to the sergeant's story
while his story of his sufferings at
the hands of his German captors in
prison camp and hospital was a fiery
denunciation of the foes brutality
The pictures closed with realistic

ADVISE MERCHANTS
TO BUY CAREFULLY
Chicago Credit Men Speak on Margin OF
Credit During War, to Local
| Business Men.

Messrs Fast and Laurence. r"Presen-
tativcs OF the Chicago credit clearing
house, told their audience Of Wheeling
merchants and business men last night
in the assembly room OF the wheeling
Commercial association OF the erect
that war has and is having on the credit
system Of this country. Tho speakers
advised all to buy with care. US no one
could predict the outcome Of the future
during the crisis. The speakers declared
that the one important question con-
fronting the business world today In
this country is the margin Of credit.
While all merchandise and products are
higher today. the Wholesaler and re-
taller need just as much stock. but the
question arises as to their respective
margin of credit. 1t Is not case or
how much stock they need to conduct
their business but their margin OF credit
during the criSiS.
The speakers advised their auditors to
buy most carefully at present and not
tn stock up while the war is on, for
when peace shall be declared and the
mills and all industries over tho world
resume operation they will be unable
tn sell their goods at q profit, but at a
loss.
The speakers were presented by Rob-
crt Lee Boyd. director Of the Credit
Mems bureau OF the Wheeling CONNER
cial association, under which organiZa-
ton MesSrS. Fast and Laurence were
invited to come TO this city.

British Guns Work Havoc With
Flagship Lutzow, Killing
597 Men
nv Associated Prsss1

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, July To-
Scenes on board the German flag,
ship Lutzow during the Jutland naval
battle when some of the newest and
largest of the German battle cruisers
were battered or sunk by Admiral
Beatty's British squadron in June
1916. are yiVidly described by P. krug,
one of the Lutzow's survivors in a
pamphlet which has just been publish
ed here. 1t is believed TO be the first
detailed story Of that great battle
from the point of view of the German
sailor to reach the public eye.
:. Torpedoed- by a British warship
early in the engagement, the Lutzow,
which was the flagship Of Admiral
Hipper, was hammered numerically
BY the big guns Of the British vessels,
and soon became a complete wreck, a
sship Of the dead" as Krug describes
her.
{ According to his story q German
sailors were trapped in the Diesel dy-
namo room before the battle had been
long In progress and remained there
when the Lutzow, q disabled hulk, was
abandoned and sent to the bottom by
q torpedo. Two, Of these imprisoned
men had been driven insane and were
kept tied by their shipmates.
After describing the first part OF
the battle and telling how the arrival
Of British battleships turned the
tables on the Germans, Krug writes:
Suddenly the entire ship Is rough
Is shaken. The colossus heaves far
over, and everything that Is not fixed
Il upset. The first direct hit. The
torpedo pierces the fore part OF the
ship. Its effects are terrible. Iron,
wood, metal, parts of bodies, smashed
ships implements are all intermixed,
and the electric light, by Chance

sight, 49,. : $780,.

compartment has not been hit, and

terrible sight it presented on board
the Lutzow. and 1t needs iron nerves
to look upon It coolly. Hundreds have
lost their lives, while many have lain
for hours in torture, and the fight is
not yet over. The bow is now crushed
in and is entirely submerged. The
four screws are already sticking half
out of the water, so that the Lutzow
can only make to 10 knots an hour,
as against the normal 80.
The admiral decides to transfer to
the Moltke. He gives orders to turn
and get away from the scene of the
fight but the LutZow has not gone a
mile before she receives a broadside
of 3S centimeter shells. The entire
ship was filled with the poisonous
fumes of the shells, and anyone who
failed to affix his gas mask was
doomed to be suffocated.
1T was three-quarters Of an hour
before the lighting installation was
restored. Then for the first time
could the extent of the damage
wrought by the salvo be seen. One
of the shells had landed in the sick
bay. Here there were three doctors
and fifteen attendants besides 160 to
$50 wounded. OF all these only four
remained alive. These four were
hurled into the next compartment by
the air pressure, there they lay un-
conscious.
THE Lutzow was now a complete
wreck. Corpses drifted past. From the
bows up to the first 80 centimeter
gun turret the ship lay submerged.
The other gun turrets were complete
ly disabled, with the guns sticking out
in all directions. On deck lay the
bodies Of the sailors in their torn uni
forms, In the midst Of the empty shell
cases. From the masts fluttered torn
flags, twisted signal lines and pieces
Of wire Of the wireless installation.
Had not the lookout man and the three
officers on the commanders bridge
given signs Of life, the Lutzow would
have truly resembled a ship of the
dead. Below, on the battery deck and

reason? Honolulu will boast, for the
