Gerard Picture Stirring.

Frequent bursts of applause broke
the rapt silence of the Grand theatre,
time and again, Thursday when Am
bassador Gerard's my Four Years
| in Germany" was shown in ten
reel, special production. 1t is one of
the greatest patriotic preachments
ever seen on the screen and serves
better than a corps Of recruiting Of
fcers. The deviltry with which the
German kaiser and his chief Hun
butchers set about to plan the war
is ably depicted.
The picture titles state that it is
fact from beginning to end and not
fiction.
An exceptionally strong cast is
used in portraying the various char
acters. The picture has the approx
al CT the national committee on pub
lie information. 1t is being shown
again today.

man Secrets.
as it not a shame that the world
should have been so disturbed; that
peaceful men who are compelled to
lie in mud and filth in the depth of
raw winter, shot at and stormed at
and shelled, waiting for chance to
murder some other innoffensive fell
low creature? Why must the people
in old Poland die of hunger, not find
ing dogs enough to eat in the streets
of Lemberg? The long lines of broken
peasants in Serbia and Roumania;
the population of Belgium and north
ern France torn from their homes to
work as slaves for the Germans, the
Door prisoners of war starving in
their huts or working in factories
and mines; the cries of the old and
the children wounded by bombs from
Zeppelins; the walls of the mothers
for their sons; the very rustling Of
the air as the souls of the ten million
dead sweep to another world-why
must all these horrors come upon a
fair green earth, where we believed
that love and help and friendship,
genius, science and commerce, re-
ligion and civilization once ruled"
In the introduction to Ambassador
James w. Gerard's remarkable book,
he so eloquently asks these questions
which all the world is so interested
in. In the big remarkable film pro-
duction of the book. my Four Years

Proud His Boy
Is Ii, Fight

While persons on land gathered In
churches and chapels for prayer
Memorial day, a river captain with
rosary in hand, said his devotionals
yesterday in a cabin on . steamer
which chugged its way up the Mis-
sissippi. His plea was that a higher
power protect and help the boys IN
the trenches in the hard pressure OF
the fight across seas.
Memorial day was a time OF anxiety
for Captain Hugh Mckenzie OF the
steamer Keokuk The boat was max
ing its first excursion Of the summer
to Burlington under his direction.
Captain Mckenzie's only SON,
Louis, is with the Rainbow division
in the trenches in France, and he is
proud of him.
Fighting Like He'll.
1--WE are fighting like hell were
words his son had written home two
days before. His boy was still in the
thickest of the fight.
Captain Mckenzie has been captain
of the keokuk for twelve years. His
son studied to be assistant pilot on the
boat at one time. This was before
he joined the army His father was
responsible for his son entering the
service for he signed his papers which
allowed Louis to enlist when he was
eighteen years Of age.
!
Saw Border Service.
Louis Mckenzie saw service Tor
eight months on the Mexican border.
Later he re-enlisted and went to
France with Company D, 16Sth in
fantry.
The family received three letters
from him this week This is the first
time they had heard from him for
eight weeks.
The father read every available
line of news from the western front,
Thursday. In fact, he does every day.
