It was stated positively on Thursday

Mud Preventing Operations
In view of this assurance that the
United States will be able to maintain
It's place as fighting unit ON the battle
fronts, reports from the western front
are being scanned more eagerly than
ever by officers here for the first signs
OF the 1913 campaign IL Is felt strongly
that the opening of major operations In
what President Wilson has predicted
will prove the decisive year OF the
great war win not be much longer de-
layed. Mud has been the determining
factor of many previous western front
operations. SO long as the ground is
soft with the winter rains It is inn
possible TO move forward great guns
and necessary transport trains to sup
port an advancing line. Even in Fian-
dcrs, however indications this year
are that the ground win harden early
Ia spring, permitting either side TO UNI
dertake the enterprises planned.

THE GOOD OLD TIME,

Bill StoWell was talking about the
good old days the other night. The
industry being still in its infancy, nine
years is a real smart time. Bills ca
reer on the screen is just that long.
Some people still remember the first
real moving picture, The Great Train
Robbery | do. but | would not, be
able to tell you what. was in it. Any
one would be able to claim that hon
or, for the picture was shot so far
away that the faces do not show. And
even a few years later, when Joined
out in 1909 to be exact, all the action
was so far from the camera that it
was impossible to recognize any Of the
faces. Facial expression was of course
lacking and acting was entirely physi-
cal. 1t did not make any difference
whether you were laughing or crying
so long as you made perfectly obvious
gestures.
when I first applied for an Oppor-
tunity to do picture work | was not
asked if | could act. Can you ride?
Can you swim?' were the questions
asked me. Then l was given tryout,
but not in front of a camera. Oh, no!
They took me out on great big open
faced lot, and put me on bucking

do any more acting for more than a
week.
"The thing that retarded screen
acting for long time was the full
length foreground which every pro-
Queer insisted upon. They chung to it
like a sick puppy to hot brick.
"They thoroughly believed that the
entire figure must show on the screen.
1t would be gruesome sight, they
argued, to see man or woman walk
ing about without any feet. 1t was
almost three years before they real
lied that there was no expression in
feet. with the single exception Of those
belonging to Charlie Chaplin. Now
all dramatic moments are expressed
in close-ups. with the characters cut
off anywhere between the neck and
the waist, and | will venture to say

How Patriot Soldiers Suffered.

In all the camp sites Of the Revolu'
ton a surprising quantity Of broken
black bottles are found, sindicating that
the allowance Of liquor must have
been liberal. The elaborate prepare
tons made today to protect the SOL
dlers against the cold contrast oddly
with the equipment Of the men at Val
ley Forge. One of the surgeons who
served at Valley Forge has left the
following description of one Of the
Continental soldiers who was brought
In to camp hospital:
"His bare feet were seen through
his worn shoes-his legs nearly naked
from the tattered remains Of an only
pair Of stockings-his breeches not
sufficient to cover his nakedness-his
shirt hanging in strings-his hair d.
sheveled-his face meager-his whole
appearance pictures person fOIsaken
and discouraged" =,
