Ambassador Gerard's my Four Years in
Germany"

At the Biiou theatre Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, that dramatic motion pic
ture, my -Four Years in Germany"
adapted from the story Of the same
name as told by Ambassador James w.
Gerard on his return from Berlin after
the war had extended to the United
States, will be presented.
As the filming of the play was carried
out under the supervision of Mr.. Gerard,
its truthfulness to the situation cannot
be gainsaid The notables--or rather no.
torious ones-concerned in fomenting
war are pictured as they actually ap-
pear, even tricks of speech and gesture,
as well as other characteristics being
faithfully reproduced.
One is shown the kaiser and his advis
ors in conference over weighty questions
which are to decide the fate of nations
One sees the invasion of Belgium, with
its attendant horrors; the cruel treat
ment Of prisoners and internes; the
staggering German officers; the goose
stepping German privates and all the Sc
cret workings of the German high Office.
During the seven months past there
has been but one opinion on the part OF
the thousands who have seen the film, as
to its standing in the ranks of motion
pictures And that is, that it easily
leads them all in vital interest and in
real worth as an educational exhibit

evident from the fact that the shore batteries in these
Belgian ports known to be among the most powerful
in the world and the ships to- have accomplished the
desired blockade, must have been sunk well inshore.

of auxiliary vessels and six obsolete crisers-five of
