Verues wonderful story. Twenty
Thousand Leagues Under the Sea"
The whole surrounding country will
avail itself of the opportunity to see
this great picture which is now
sweeping the nation. The proceeds
from this picture will go to the Sol
diers Knitting fund
The picturi2ation of this drama
tic story is notable achievement of
motion picture art, and represents
the highest development yet made
along the line Of progress that has
occupied the inventive genius of the
past fifty years the problem of con-
quering the mighty deep By means

seemed but the fanciful dreams of an
imaginative mind now unfods on the

half a million dollars, to give this pic

Dor of Nassau that the Williamson
brothers first demonstrated to the
world that under-sea photography
was not a probability. nor a POSSIBLE
ity but wonderful reality. For it
was here little more than two years
ago, that they dropped submarine
chamber. sent camerman down into
it, and there on the bottom of the
harbor, took several hundred feet of
moving pictures showing the beauti-
full coral beds, the remarkable species
of fishes that dwell below the sur
face, and then, just to give a real
punch to the whole business, Ernest,
stripped almost TO the skin, had
plunged overheard and killed man
eating shark in front of the huge
chamber as the camerman recorded
the struggle on the machine within.
So successful was that expedition
with the public that it gave rise to
the determination for great picture
to be staged largely on sea-bottom.
When Director Stuart Patton of the
Universal laid before the Williamson
brothers the proposition for filming
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under
the Sea" these wizards of the deep
gave him the assurance that the pic
ture could be made. And now we
have the realization of that dream in
the most thrilling and stupendous
production of the age.

mier Lloyd George, in a speech here
today, on receiving the freedom of
the city, declared that the whole al
lied cause and the freedom of the
world depended on supremacy at
sea and that he was certain it would
be maintained.
German statesmen, he said, had
been at great pains to impress upon
their people that the submarine fig
ures given out by him in the House
of Commons recently, were inaccur-
ate He declared these figures were
absolutely correct, and that they put
an end to all hopes of the enemy to
win
The Premier asserted he was abso-
lutely convinced that the German
submarine never would be able to
beat down the strength of the Brit
ish empire or beat down the hopes
of the alliance by means of all the
efforts the Germans could make with
the submarine.
The Premier said that the news
from Russia in, the last few days had
not been good He thought when

have the effect of postponing victory
