FOR POSTERITY

To safeguard the valuable collec-
ton of Photographic negatives and
the thousands of feet of moving
picture films of the present war,
the war department has authorized
the building in Washington of fire
proof storage vaults.
Under the direction of the his
torical division of the General Staff
thousands of still and moving pic
lures have been taken, both in this
country and in Europe, for the pur-
pose of historical record. These
have been stored in various places
in Washington, because heretofore
no suitable place had been provided
for their safe-keeping. AS thou
sands of dollars have already been
spent in making the negatives and
many more thousands of pictures
are yet to be taken, the need for
fireproof storage became more
manifest.
The vaults will be located in one
building, but between each vault
here will be built fireproof walls.
The doors of the vaults will also
be fireproof. For the proper pre-
servation of the negatives, the vaults
will be so constructed that venti-
lation and fairly even tempera-
ture will be maintained.

1t has been the custom in the an
thracite coal fields for many years
for employees of colliery to re-
main away from work on the day
of the funeral of any fellow work
err who had been killed at the col
liery. In order to prevent the loss
of tonnage which follows the OBJ
servance of this custom, the oper-
ators and the leaders of the mine
workers have agreed that the collier
les shall work on the day of the
funeral
1t is agreed that a committee of
six shall be appointed to attend the
funeral and the company is to pay
the days wages of the six men on
the committee. In addition, the
companies have agreed to pay the
nearest heirs of the worker killed
the sum of $3.50 over and above
the compensation allowed by law.
This agreement, designed to in
crease production, is another indi-
cation, says the Official Bulletin.

FIRST ARMY SCHOOL
OPEN AT CAPE MAY

CAPE MAY, N. 1.-The first army
medical school for the reconstruction
of defects of hearing and speech of
soldiers has been opened here under
the Division of Physical Reconstruct
ton of the Surgeon Generals Office.
1t is part of Army Hospital No. II,
located in what was formerly a
luxurious hotel, built by land syn
dictate. Lieutenant Colonel Charles
w. Richardson, of the Army Medical
Corps, is the director of the school,
which is said to be the first of it's
kind in the world
Returned soldiers with hearing de-
stroyed or impaired or suffering
from partial or total loss of speech
are to be educated physically and
vocational.
The school opened with a full
corps of teachers and enough pa
tlents to occupy their time.
Lieutenant Colonel Richardson,
who came here to establish the
school, is professor of laryngology
and GEOLOGY in the George Washing
ton University. He joined the army
when this country entered the war.

Forces in the Marne-Aisne offensive,
it should be stated, says a war de-
partment bulletin, upon the basis of
the officially attested experience of
our associates during the four years
of this war, that of wounded SOL
diers sent to hospitals for treatment
fewer than l in 20 die.
Of all the soldiers sent to the
hospitals only as in every 1000 die.
These include those who die of dis
ease as we'll as those who die of
wounds. Of all soldiers wounded in
action more than four-fifths return
to service, many of them in less than
two months. 1t is necessary to dis
charge for physical disability only
14.5 per cent.
These figures are based on an
average of both British and French
official figures, including both Off
GERS and men. The two are aver
aged together, since American troops
are fighting with both the French
and the British under conditions
which vary.

CHAIRMAN EDES
EXPRESSES VIEWS
ON CONSTRUCTION

ANC1oRAIE. - After having
made a trip of inspection extending
over the Fairbanks, Seward and An
chorage divisions of the government
railroad, William c. Edes, chairman
of the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission, which has charge of the
building of the road, declares the
task of construction is progressing
satisfactorily. In every division
there is a scarcity of laborers, he
says, but despite this fact the build
ing of the line is going forward al
most in conformity with the plans
outlined last spring.
SIN the Fairbanks division this
season." states Mr.. Edes, trails will
be laid and trains will be operated
between Nenana and the coal fields
fifty miles distant from Nenana.
''In the Seward division, as we'll as
in the southwestern part of the An
chorage division, all grading work
will soon be finished and the gap
of about seventeen miles between
the ends of steel on the Seward
Anchorage line will be closed and
ready for train operation in a month
or so. The tracklaying machine is
busy putting down rails on the
Seward-Anchorage line.
''In the Anchorage division, grad
ing is practically completed between
Montana, which is the present end
of steel north of Anchorage, and
Talkeetna. Montana is about 95
miles north of Anchorage, and Tai
keetna is about twenty-five miles
north of Montana. The work of
laying track between Montana and
Talkeetna will begin in the imme-
date future. Grading operations
are progressing favorably between
Talkeetna and Susitna, which is
thirty-four miles north of Talkeetna. "
Mr.. Edes spent last winter, last
spring and part of the summer in
Washington city on business in con-
nection with the government rail
road.
"While the government railroad
enterprise, in common with other
enterprises not directly associated
with the carrying on of the war,
necessarily suffers from a shortage
of labor and material, there is no
reason at all for discouragment,"
he says. ga very friendly interest
in the work is evinced by Congress,
and there is every reason to believe
that with the restoration of peace
and normal conditions the compile
ton and operation of the entire sys-
tenn will be effected without trouble
or delay"

HOOVER HAS BEEN FRANK

When Herbert Hoover, Federal
Food Administrator, says the situa-
ton in reference to our wheat sup
ply is critical, the people believe
him; for Hoover has taken them
steadily into his confidence, without
any attempt to create scare. And
the people are trustworthy when
their intelligence is respected and
their patriotism put to the test.

NIGHT BOMBING

An alrplane flare with Dfllllancy
equalling that of 100000 candles has
been perfected, according to a state
ment recently issued by Maj.-Gen.
C. C. Williams, chief Of ordnance.
When hanging from its parachute
over German munition plant it
lights up an area so brightly that an
airman, thousands of feet in the air,
can select any building he is directed
to make target for his aerial bomb,
and, it may be added, American avn
ators are becoming so expert in
bombing that they can usually hit
the target at which they shoot.
In every European city within the
zone or aerial raiding operations, the
rule is rigidly enforced against the
burning of lights in any building
that might possibly be used as a
target. Therefore, the airman must
be able to supply his own means
of locating the object of this attack
When orders are received to bomb,
say particular railroad center, the
aviator proceeds very much in the
same manner as does the captain of
a vessel. The cities and their en-
virons are charted and the night
flyer proceeds by compass, due al
lowance, of course being made for
atmospheric conditions. He is also
frequently aided by prominent mark
ings, such as the reflection of moon
light from river.
Having reached the particular dis
trict sought, he must locate the par
ticular object of his attack from his
position, which may be 5000 or
10000 feet, or ever higher, above
the earth, Equipped with the air
plane flare, the aviator pulls lever
and releases it. AS it drops, the re-
sistance offered by the air sets the
fuse mechanism in operation. The
result is the emission of a powerful
light of from 100000 to 100000
candlepower, which completely illum-
mates the terrain below The amount
of light given is equal to that of
a battery of from $50 to IT'S street
lamps, or from $4,000 to 1880 or
binary incandescent lamp bulbs such
as are used in the home
AS soon the the flare gets into
operation huge parachute made Of
the best quality of silk opens and
holds the brilliant light in suspension
in the air for a sufficient time to
allow the aviator to select his OBJ
Jective target. Having located the
factory, railroad depot, ammunition
dump, hangers, munition plant, or
whatever the target may be, the avi-
ator drops the bomb and proceeds on
his way
The height at which an aviator
flies when attacking depends, of
course, on surrounding conditions.
If the enemy is aware of his pres
ence and is preparing for attack, he
must keep up and out of range of
anti-aircraft guns. An idea of the
effective light thrown on the ground
by this flare may be gained from
the fact that, when suspended at a
height of from 1900 to 1000 feet.
it will clearly light a circular area
one and half miles in diameter.
When on a bombing raid an aviator
seldom flies at such a low height.
more generally keeping 5000 or
more feet above ground, in which
case the effectively lighted area is
of course slightly diminished.

STIRRING DRAMA
MEETS APPROVAL
OF NOTED DIVINE.
Rev. Charles H. Pankhurst Offers
His Opinion After Seeing the
Great Play.

drama, 'The Birth of a Nation" to
be shown at the Coliseum tonight,
and not want to say something
about it.
Everyone who has seen it is say
ing something about it. When one
has been crowded upon, pressed down
and run over, it is against Nature
not to make some kind of an out
cry.
The thing is vast. 1t is over
whelming. Nothing like it has ever
been put before upon the stage.
The tension of the performance is
but single feature of it-but it
is that which one feels most poign-
antly after three straight hours. 1t
begins in an easy way but COM
mences soon to find its muscle and
goes on to the end pounding upon
ones senses with blows that come
heavier and heavier more and more
rapid.
The intimate familiarity which Mr..
David w. Griffith has shown with
the events of the Reconstruction
Period along with the detailed schol-
arly study which he has made of the
wider territory of events which the
play covers renders the production
one of surprising educational value
to those who were either young
children still or even unborn in the
stirring years of go to 10. A boy
can learn more true history and get
more of the atmosphere of the period
by sitting down for three hours be-
fore the film which Mr. Griffith has
produced with such artistic skill
than by weeks and months of study
in the class room.
This darma is telling illustration
of the possibilities of motion pic
lures as an instrument of instruction
in history.
The criticism that it exhibits the
Negro in an unfortunate light and
that it is calculated to engender
racial animosity is fully met by the
consideration that it represents the
Negro, not as he is is now at all,
but as he was in the days when he
had just had the chains broken from
him, and when he was rioting in the
i deliciousness of a liberty, so new
and untried, that he had not yet
learned to understand it and was ig-
norant as baby of the way to
use it. 1t is in this respect exactly
true to history and if it reflects
upon the Negro as he was then it
is a complement to the black man
of today.
There are also scenes of sur
passing dignity and beauty done by
a master artists hand-the signing
by the President of the proclamation
for volunteers which marked the end
of the old regime, the surrender of
| Lee to Grant and the assassination
of the President in Ford's theater.
The tender affection in which Mr..
Lincoln is held was manifested in
the way the great audience received
the scene of heart broken South
ern mother pleading with him for
her son sentenced to death as a
guerilla. Every eye was dim with
tears in the strangling hush that
fell on the theater. What might
not our country have been saved had
the problem of Reconstruction been
left to the Great Heart-the one
man who compassed within himself
, the resources of the intelligence, ex-
perience, breadth and sympathy of
Abraham Lincoln!

An Outgrowth of the War

The most evident outgrowth of the
present war is deepening of the re
ligious life of the Christian nations of
the world. The reports are coming
from even the wartorn nations OF
Europe that people are attending
church services as never before. The
religious press of America conveys the
same message and testities to the same
facts in our own nation. We cannot be
surprised at this because in times OF
great national crises to whom can the
people go for help but unto the Lord?
If America is to win this war she
she must win it upon her knees, and
the quicker she realizes this the better
it will be 1t is possible for one to be
a Stacker religiously as any other way.
