 Motion Picture of War.
 One of the biggest and most en- thusiastic crowds that has ever been assembled in the Congressional church was on hand last night to see the moving pictures of the war that were taken on the French and Italian battle front by official government photographers and which are being exhibited under the auspices of the State Council of Defense throughout the state of Connecticut. The doors of the church were thrown open at o'clock and immediately the crowd began to arrive in a steady stream until the church was filed The amount of tickets sold was around $50 and the crowd in attendance last night was estimated at about 525, so it seems that most all those who bought tickets for the event took ad- vantage of the affair and were pres ent The pictures were highly satis- factory and showed some interesting scenes from the battle front.
 Sergeant Pimlott of the British army gave an interesting address on his experiences while serving on the front in the first line trenches. It was while on duty in one of the big battles that he was wounded to such an extent that he was forced to go to one of the field hospitals and from there he was sent back to England be- cause of the fact that he had served that required length, of time in the trenches.
