aMY FOUR YEARS IN GERMANY" t

"MY FOUR YEARS IN GERMANY"
The film version of my Four Years
in Germany" which is dramatiza-
ton of eX-Ambassador James w. Ger.
ards book of the same name, will be
shown at the Warfield theatre, Mon
day, Aug. 26.
The picture is the strongest kind
of win the war propaganda. The
characters playing the principal parts
such as the Kaiser the Crown Prince
Hindenburg and Won Tirpitz, are true
to life, and the impersonation of every
character is extremely good.
What the Germans did to Belgium
and to Northern France is shown with
marvellous and realistic fidelity to
fact. Ambassador Gerard's visits to
the German prison camps are also pic
tured in a manner that leaves no doubt
that he was equal to many trying oc-
casions. 1t is the kind of picture that
will awaken many to the realization

FOREST AND PRAIRIE FIRES.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 40, 1918
Editor Chronicle:
The fall and winter season is fast
approaching when disastrous prairie
and forest fires prove so very de
structive to the owners of both small
and large land holdings near and ad
iacent to the large trunk line railroad
systems.
Our lands are adjoining the Louis
vile e. Nashville Railroad tracks.
Last winter, as you will likely remem-
! Der, we suffered to great extent by
| fires that originated on the l.. & n.
right of way, through lack of spark
arrestors.
If there is no state law compelling
the use of such device on locomotives
of public carriers. il is possible that
our county can afford some relief. If
you will kindly use your efforts in be
half of The tax payers Of Jackson
county I am confident it viii be very
much appreciated.
The l.. e. N. r. r. uses about the
cheapest and poorest grade of coal
obtainable, of any railroad system in
the south.
Anyone who will take the trouble
to examine the coal in their bins, both
at New Orleans, Bay st. Louis and
Mobile, will be convinced that it is
almost criminal negligence to allow
the use of such Stag without having
spark arrestOrs on every engine OF
their system. On railroad systems
where a better and larger grade of
coal is used, also, where spark arrest
ors are adopted and where mostly fuel
oil is used are almost wholly free OF
prairie and forest fires.
II seems to me the Director General
OF railroads should be appealed to for
relief There should be law on the |
statue books of every state, protecting
owners of land and property against |
destruction by fire caused by sparks |
IRON locomotives. Out West the U. S. |
Government protects with their armed |
and fire equipped forest rangers all |
timber and other lands. Won't Won
make fight along these lines through
the columns of your valued journal
with view to lettering not alone the
conditions of your readers. but for the
good of humanity and the South. /
am confident If you will persist in the
advocacy of some such relief we will
before long place ourselves in line
with the rest of the country where
such occurrences are an exception. not
the rule.
These fires spread with such rapid
ity that it is almost useless to attempt
to control them. They consume our
timber like finder. 1t is
an unbearable hardship and absolutely
an injustice to the timber and land
holder, 1t offers no inducement for a
person to own such holdings.
Yours very truly. :
T. w. KRACKE.

Pascagoula, Miss, August 10, 1918.
AS the outcome of mass meeting
held at the county courthouse here,
