4 n FAIRY Y STORY TINT =
APPEALS TO ALL Times

Tales of witches, fairies, of enchant-
ed princes, of cruel step-mothers, have
enthralled generation after genera
ton from the earliest times down to
the, present day, and will probably
thrill as long as the world rolls on.
In the days of antiquity when peo-
pie believed in fairies these stories
were told tc beguile the long winter
evenings, as the family sat around
the fireplace.
In much the same way are they
told today, although many children
al the fairy tales themselves and
never know the charm of hearing
mother or father tell of them.
That these tales have a widespread
pp5a today was shown recently dur
ing ne presentation of Jack and the
Beans 5alk" at the Globe theatre in
New York city. Every afternoon
children would pack the house and in
the evening the older folks came in
crowds. 1t was estimated at those
record performances that during the
afternoon ninety-fve per cent of the
viewers were children and in the even
ing ninety per cent were grown-ups.
/ These old stories have had for long
I gea.q a strong hold on William Fox,
lead of the Fox Film corporation.
He owed to hear them when child
and to tell them to his children in later
years. He believed they would make
strong appeal in picture form. He
began with "Jack and the Beanstalk.
He did not misjudge human nature.
For the crowds that went to the Globe
hog he to see Jack, his beanstalk, the
giant and the princess were a pleasing
testimonial to Mr.. Fox. for his effort
in beginning the perturbation Of fairy
tales.

.PHILATHEA CLASS EnTERTA|Ns

Trinity M. E. parsonage was the
scene last night of a jolly social given
by the Philathea class to few of
their friends. The parlor was prettily
decorated for the occasion, and several
bouquets of orange blossoms and roses
were about the room.
Following a scripture reading by
Mrs. Northrop, and brief prayer by
the pastor, a short program was en-
joyed. Aleitha Coachman very charm
ingly sang two beautiful songs, Miss
Ernestine Moore gave a reading in a
very pleasing manner, and Mrs.
Nofthrop and Roscoe gave very
pretty piano and trombone duet. Sew
eral games were played, one especially
causing much merriment. Each guesi

IN DEFENSE OF CREEL

Attacks on George Creel have been
numerous and severe. Now comes an
article from d. F. Rogers of Long

ing Creel in his attitude on prepared
ness.
George Creel expressed joy that
william Hohenzollern had not had the
chance to give tone and character to
Young and middle-aged manhood Of
our country for the last fifty years.
Rogers agrees with him and declares
that the preparedness craze would
lead to the "saddling upon our public
life that curse of all curses, an or
ganized militia, the nursery and hot
bed Of war. the powder magazine into
which any Of the vicious powers who
infest every nationality may thrust
careless or an intentional match and
so set the world on fame.
Mr.. Rogers says that there is not
principle Of human equality or fra
ternity that is not outraged by this
preparedness" and that the form OF
government that the fathers set up
here and that some of US have hoped
to parpetuate," would be defeated by
preparedness" which Mr.. Rogers
calls "kaiserism."
We do not want to make war our
greatest industry or even one OF our
great industries. As Mr.. Rogers says,
War is only a frightful eXigency-a
last resort: to be avoided, not invited"

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.) }
LIVERPOOL, April 25.-How every
man of a German company lost his
life in an attack on the Armentieres
front is told in a letter from a Liver

THE fiercest fight We had" he
writes, was when the enemy massed
troops with the object of widening the
gap he had made. The attempt was
made in open country. where We were
able to mass a number of battalions
against him. and the fighting was very
fierce.
Our Liverpool battalion had the
post of honor. When the Germans
started to throw their troops against
us we poured a heavy fire into their
ranks and did terrific execution.
Immediately in front of us. Ger
man company got caught between our
fire and that of another English regi-
ment, with the result that they could
neither advance nor go back. They
kept trying to reach our square, but
were shot down one by one until only
six of them remained. These six
threw down their rifles and signified
that they wished to surrender. But
they were seen by a German officer
near by. who gave an order to his
men, and the six were shot down by
their own comrades before they could
reach us"
