in the worlds defense. We all know
with what gentle and noble pride the
old G. A. Il. man carries his empty
sleeve. So now, in far greater de-
gree, we shall have an army of men
whose injuries are their pride ana
glory, If only they can have at the
same time the bodily power to move
and to work that sustains the life of
the soul.
Employment for All.
They can have 1t freely. The gov
ernment will take care of this. If the
peopIe will understand, and avail them
selves of what is offered them. Already
In France hundreds of men are work
ing skillfully in fields, shops and fac
tories with new and better appliances
than were ever known before. The skill
and toll of surgeons and inventors have
been earnestly and tenderly applied to
the deep need of this noble army OF
sacrifice, and with greater results thah
we could have believed possible.
1t is wonderful to see what these
Frenchmen, with their high spirits ana
fine responsive natures, are able to
do! Their smiling faces and keen ac-
tivity show their sane and cheerful out
look upon the future. They are men,
not cripples. The amazing contrivances
that help them, particularly the me-
chanical arms and hands, are not beau
tiful, but they have the attractiveness
of adaptability. They are creators. out
of the creative energy of mans soul
they come, bringing creative energy TO
another mans body. and thence also to
his soul. They are truly mighty eN-
tension of his power beyond the limits
Imposed by nature and by calamity.
From the soldiers this stream OF
beneficent energy will extend to others
and in time we shall see on the streets
no more crippled beggars. and in homes
no more helpless wretches, waited on
hand and foot by tired relatives ana
friends Men and women we shall have,
doing the work of men and women all
the more bravely for the handicap that
reused their energies. and made them
lay hold eagerly upon the means OF
restoration. They will have preserved
to them one of the most precious gifts
of life-personal Independence. Is not
this CLEAN of light in the darkness!

At the Majestic

"A Dogs Life" the initial subject
in the series of eight $1,0OO,OOO
laugh makers that Charlie Chap
lin is doing for the First National
Exhibitors circuit, will be shown
at the Majestic Tuesday and We'd
nesday. The story with which
Chaplin iu2UguTotes production TN
der his own management was Sc
iected by a process OF elimination,
after half a dozen scripts had been
rehearsed and found wanting for
one reason or another. Finally
Charlie himself hit upon the idea
of utilizing as his chief support a
homeless, unkempt white monSrel
that had sought refuge in the studio
one day. The shivering, neglected
cur furnished the novel note of pa
thos that the little comedian be-
lieves absolutely essential to the
type of screen humOr that he has
made all his own. so a story was
built about the pair-Charlie as a
tender-hearted Vagrant and the
dog as his only friend In order
to prevent imitators from stealing
a march upon him, the narrative OF
the adventures that befall this
knight of the road and his brindIe-
nosed retainer will be kept secret
until the picture is released EX-
hibitOrs can be assured, however,
that the scenes depicted show Char
lie under circumstances that
oblige him to display all of his YER
satility. From the moment at the
opening of the story when he is
aroused from profound slumber in
q fence corner by the aroma from
the wares of a passing hot dog ven
dor. until his final triumph over a
gang of cabaret crooks in a resort
to which he and the dog have wan
dered on the trail of a beautiful in
nocent-eyed young singer, there is
no occasion when the action does
not make full demands upon Char
lies powers of expression.

meantime the engineers corps OF

dig a drain.
Had it not been for the flood our
in Dode Paskert's territory, il
might have been possible to stage
a combat, because the huge canvas
covered the infield and preserved
it in fine condition. A lot of eager
fans believed there would be a
game, too, when the rain stopped
coming down not long after the
noon hour. There must have been
1000 on hand and hundreds called
up to learn the sad truth.

the greater part of the course. The
Princeton oarsmen made valiant
efforts to overcome this lead, but
all were in vain. At times they
gained a few feet, but were never
able to overhaul the crimson boat.
Both crews rowed beautiful races
and there appeared little to choose
between the two after the start.
Conditions for the regatta were
almost ideal. the water being COM
