CRITICISM:

Chattanooga. Tenn. Times. No greater art has been pro- duced bys the world war than D. w. Griffith's film play. Hearts of the World All eff forts heretofore witnessed to portray the war are but feeble in comparison to the realistic depletion of one of the sweet est love stories ever told amid the anguish and the sublime sacrifice of wounded France. 2 The marvellous scenes. many authentic, and all taken in the France, brought wild applause that did not subside ever after the audience was out on the street.
 : So gripping is the play that enthuses until he forgets time and place. The Birth of a Nation cannot equal in theme or .technic. this great produc- tion."

Future of Railroad Stocks

| Jasper, III Leslie s.
 Many investors who go back to the ! period Of railroad depression, some
 odd years ago, and recall the panicky
 prices in the railroad market that pre- l vailed and the large profits that purchas-
 CTS of railroad securities at that time
 were able to take few years later on, 1 are wondering whether the low priced railroad securities today are not offer ing a similar opportunity for the pa 1 tient holder.
 There "a curious difference of opin- | ion on this question, as was disclosed at the American Bankers convention at Chicago recently My friend MT. E H. Sisson, vice president of the Guaranty Trust company of New York, in his in teresting address on '"The Effect of the War on Railroad Securities said In reference to the contract between the government and the railroads Ut seems seasonably certain that, after the con tract has finally been executed by the roads, railroad stocks will be placed In about the same class as railroad bonds, snce with their earnings definitely linn ited and guaranteed, speculative possi- bilities will be largely eliminated from them and their prices should not greatly fiuctuate.
 On the other hand, MT. Samuel Inter- myer, in his address before the bankers, raised a very serious question as to the future bf the railroads under the bind- ing provisions of the government con tract
 As I read his address, which for some reason the press dispatches did not re- port as fully as it deserved, he seems to believe that security, will be found hereafter mainly in the bonds of the railroads and decided insecurity even In their dividend paying stocks. though at the close of his address he admits that perhaps his judgment may not be wholly justified by events.

How Yankees Work in France

Robert NJ. Mcbride, in Leslie's.< [ Our American forces have already built across France a greater and more efficient system of telephone an telegraph service than exists either :n Italy or Spain The French service before the war was inadequate. How, then, could We hope to use it? So we have our own wires, and string, not theil poles, but on poles of our own, offices of our own. with switchboards of our own and-greatest joy of all-- operated by hello girls of our own We have put up along our lines of communication in that fam shaped ter rtory of ours in France 75,00o miles of wire enough to circle the earth three times!
 At the beginning the drawled "Are you there?'' of the English opera tors. or the even more leisurely "Qrs voulez-vous of the French operators, or their broken English, What eet ees you weesh?' and the terrible long waits, nearly drove our men frantic Then, one day, not very lang ago, a very busy brigadier- general took up the line. with a groan at the difficult ties and delays. he expected before getting into touch with bis .party From the receiver in clear, bright tones yet in the voice with a smile, came the query: Number, pleasee" The general was so delighted that he shouted Thank God!' Even the telephone girl laughed at thfs. Now they are there in force at the busy central offices. They speak French as well as English for the. most part, and they have speeded up the teie- phone communication. according .n the solemn statement made to me ''y a certain major fully 50 per cent

CRITICISM:

Atlanta. Ga., Constitution
 Never has the martyrdom. the anguish, the agony and the glory of Franco been portray ed as it is by D. w. Griffith's Hearts of the World Griffith has painted a picture that cluthches the hearts and souls of men. It is a wondrous story that will stand for all time as the most important contribu- tion of the great conflict.'
 Nashville. Tenn. Banner" Hearts of the World David w. Griffith's great war play, is one. of the most gripping photoplays ever screened in Nashville. It is a play that touches all emotions, that changes a tear to laughter and sends every drop of patriotic blood coursing through one's veins. The audience went wild. Not an eya in the theatre was dry, and such tumultuous' bursts of applause has seldom Only those who saw, the play can appreciate it's wonders"

Grif- fifth has been master architect behind m any stupendous screen successes but in none of them has he attained the heights of realism and, TO- nance that he has in Hearts of the World.' It canEonly be spoken of with superlatives for it is unquestionably the greatest drama of action that has ever been portrayed.
