The comedy. Fair and Warmer" at

play. The leading man, Sager Midg-

pretty faces and fine forms, in fact
it calls for real actors and the COM
pany was well supplied with them.
Mr.. Midgley is mentioned as standing
out among a very capable cast, be-

Here is what the Waferfown Public Opinion
SAYS of the Picture

The Crisis" which showed to a
packed house last night, will be shown
again tonight. No finer picture has
ever been shown in Watcrtown
Winston Churchill made Lincoln a
VITAL parsonage in his novel, and vii
liam n. Selig in transferring the story
to the screen, took more pains with
this one character than all the Others.
Lincoln. as portrayed by sam ID.
Drane. is a gaunt. awkward, yet mag
netic backWoodSman, who rose by
sheer common sense to the presidency
in spite Of the scorn and contempt OF
his enemies, and even his enthusiasts

restrain a smile at the spectacle OF
such a leader. 1t is the human Lin
coin, not the Lincoln that history and

a demi-god.

He is not merely a shadowy figure in
a historical background, but is as nee
e5sary in tangling and hen unravel-
ing the threads of the story as any
ficticiOuS creation of Mr.. ChurchillS
Imagination. He Is shown in the pie
turesque campaign Of the sixties when
the flaming torchlight and the crack
ling bonfire added a homely excite
mcnt unknown in this day Of electric
Examinations; his debate with Douglas
is dramatically staged; the events are
then depicted that converted him from
a village humoriSt to a sublime Man
Of Sorrow, firm in his determination
to save the nation intact. yet ever
merciful to the individual sufferers;
and finally, North and South, en-
bodied in the Northern hero, stephen

a telegram announcing the death OF
his brother. 5. W. Gutridge. The tel

death, but while MIR. Gutridse was III

several days ago, stating that his
brother had been severely injured by

The Germans Cutters.

During the early part of the war
the Germans. thought it was the lin
est Of sport to take few Zeppelins,
fly over London or some unprotect-
ed English town and drop a few tons
of explosives, serving no military
purpose whatever, the only result be-
ing to kill women and children.
Finally the English built enough fly
ing machines and set up enough anti
aircraft guns to make that rather
dangerous form of amusement. Next
the allies sent their air craft over
into Germany and dropped a few
bombs on German cities. lhe
Chamber of Commerce OF the cities
Immediately asked that new treaty
be signed agreeing not to drop bombs
in the rear of the firing line.
Early in the war the Germans, in
defiance of all rules OF civilized war
fare, released large quantities of gas
which caught the allies unprepared
for such brutal way of fighting and
many were killed and many broken
in health by the poisonous fumes be-
fore a way to combat it was found.
Now the Germans have found that
the allied chemists can make a more
deadly gas than they can. The allied
soldiers are equipped with a much
better gas mask than the Germans
and that the prevailing winds in north
ern France is more favorable to the
allies than to them, when it comes to
gas fighting and the cry of Kan
rad" is being raised ard they are ask
Ing the international Red Cross to
ask that the belligerent nations sign
an agreement not to use poisonous
ga, for the remainder of the war.
Having let loose this pest of modern
warfare they are now forced to cry
peace when they see it about TO de-
vour them.
1t is hardly likely that their efforts
will have much effect in view of their
taking the initiative in that sort OF
fighting and their well known pro-
pensitv for regarding treaties and
ta2rrcmvnts as scraps OF paper
when ii suits their purpose to do So

Often Equaled 50 Per Cent.

Washington, April 2o,-Germany is
earpeting the western battle field
with dead and from many outfits has
lost so per cent or above, according.
to an official diplomatic dispatch re-.
ceived here tonight. :,
The Tenth Division of reserves at
Ctoix Du Bac lost hall its forces
March e6, and company OF the 37oth
Regiment could report only twenty
six out of ninety-six men April 10.
Other examples OF the reckless
wastage the boche leaders are inflict-
ing in their gamble follows:
The Goth Regiment of the Second
Bavarian Division lost so per cent;
company of the 18th Regiment mus
tered only one commissioned officer
and thirty men at the close OF an at
tack; the 5th Grenadier Regiment lost
at least twenty-six officers; in the
18TH Division sixteen hundred men

26oth Infantry OF the 4th Division Re
serves was nearly annihilated on

showed per cent decrease, while
the 131st Regiment lost more than
half in the Merris fighting.

ter gives a glimpse into the bloody
scene.
The, road from Arras to Cambria
is constantly under fire and our
losses are beyond description. he
wrote, according to the dispatch.
The bitches are piled high with dead
horses and certain batteries have only
two or three left. The losses i'll men
are not less, and every day the road
is strewn with dead and dying.
Germany herself is keeping figures
from her people as lar as possible,
but the grim fact Of severe losses IS
seeping through to le,non homes as

military leaders have prepared the
