BELG|UM' FATE
IS VISUhLIzED IN
STIRRING DRAMA

A story that will appeal to men and
women of all ages is THE Belgian,
Sidney 0lcott's stupendous INSTALLATION
of the tragedy of Belgium. which comes
to the Isis today.
The story opens in Belgium just be-
fore the terrible mailed fist descends
upon the peaceful nation and brushes
out the life of the country. One of the
artistic touches with which the picture
abounds is the shadow of cross show
ing Belgium crusified and the heel OF
the Hun about to trample her under
foot.
Jeanne Destree and Victor Morenne
portrayed respectively by Valentine
Grant and Walker Whitesfde, are be-
trothed, but when a great sculptor dis
covers Victor and offers to take him
to Paris Jeanne offers her little saw
ings to help him defray his expenses
so that he, too, may become a great
sculptor.
And so he goes away and forgets
Jeanne and loves the Countess de
Vries. Then comes the war, and there
are some stupendous scenes which
show the pitiful call to arms and the
handful of gentle Belgian peasants try
ing to stem the tide as the forces of
the Prussian army devastated their
homes.
None of the stereotyped methods are
resorted to, and the ending of the pic
ture is wonderfully artistic. Suffice
to say that the people who viewed
THE Belgian" at its trade showing in
the Strand theatre, New York, were
moved to rise and cheer as the Amer
lean troops appeared on the screen
marching to the aid of Belgium.

and a loyal, kindly husband could give.
And yet because she could not snare
her husbands interest, because he had
progressed while she stood still-sha
now felt pitifully helpless and alone.
Her husband had outgrown her. Ant
for a woman there Is no greater trag-
edy than this. Always 1t seems slow
but an inevitable growing apart. AS
the mans interests broaden, the wo
mans seem to grow more and more
narrow.
Under any circumstances woman
ages more quickly than man, and
when he lives "a vigorous active life
and she an Inactive one-the differ e

AN IMPORTANT MEETING

Tonight'S meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce will have an important bearing
upon the future of Pensacola.
The development of our unapproachable
natural advantages, our industrial growth
and our future prosperity will be infu-
enced in large degree by the efficiency OF
our commercial organization.
The Chamber of Commerce has accom-
p1ished much good during the past year
more than most of us realize. 1t has COM
piled data and supplied information which
has been directly responsible for the bring
ing of new people and new capital to Pen
sacola 1t has also done great deal OF
work which will be realized upon in COM
ing years.
Dr. Blocker and Mrs. Beck have worked
untiringly and have made the utmost of
their resources, but the organization could
have accomplished more with heartier sup
port and closer cooperation of the mem
bers. It's work has been hindered and the
scope of its activities limited through lack
OF interest on the part of many who seem
ingly believe that payment of dues covers
every obligation of membership.
The Chamber of Commerce will be just
as live and forceful and helpful to our civic
and commercial welfare as its individual
members wish it to be. It's usefulness rests
entirely with them.
Right now, Pensacola IS to decide wheth-
Ell it is to be the metropolis of the Gulf
Coast. The opportunity is here, whether
we accept it depends largely upon the
Chamber of Commerce.
Because this is so, let every member at
tend tonight's meeting and assist in select
ing directors and officers who will make
the most of the good work already started,
men who will enlist the whole-souled Co
operation of every member and of every
citizen, so that the organization may eN-
pand to the fullest extent of its usefulness
1t should be truly get-together meeting,
with all interests solicited and pledged to
the upbuilding of Pensacola.

A VALUABLE WAR ASSET

Dispatches from Washington state that
the government is to spend many millions
in the Improvement of terminal facilities at
Southern ports. Every port of con-
sequence south of Hampton Roads, save
one is mentioned-the exception is Pensa-
cola.
Galveston, New Orleans, Mobile are
listed, but no mention is made of what is
admittedly the finest harbor in the South.
1t IS more than passing strange that
Pensacola is so often overlooked-that we
are not given first consideration when the
government seeks the port which could
most readily relieve the congestion on the
Northern seaboard. 1t is scarcely to be
believed that our representatives at Wash
ington are notlalive to Our advantages.
Quite probably they are bending every
effort to have Pensacola added to the list,
now that the announcement has been made
But the regret is that we failed to have in
the hands of the department heads informa-
ton which would have compelled them to
turn to Pensacola first, without congress
sional or senatorial suggestion.
Pensacola's greatest hindrance is its
complacencv. Knowing that we have the
finest harbor on the gulf, we feel that, fol-
lowing Emerson's proverb the world will
find its way to us. 1t might, in years to
come, but, meanwhile, we are wasting OPP
portunity through failure to make our ad-
vantageS known.
Pensacola does rot want government
patronage, in the widely accepted sense
does not need it, would not welcome it.
But having the facilities which the govern
ment needs, we would be grossly unpatri-
otto if we do not send to Washington every
bit of data necessary to- convince even the
most skeptical bureau chief that we have
a harbor here capable of handling vast ton
mage more expeditiously and satisfactorily
than other ports which have been quicker
than we in presenting their merits.
Pensacola harbor is valuable war asset
But 1t IS up to us to prove it.
