wonder whether the great Emancipa-

world from some vantage point in his

graduated himself that he did not

belongs to Mr. Wilson. And then
again he may have been lowering

track that was not known to book

He had a faculty of hitting the ball

birth OF A NATION"

In the list of accurate battle scenes
and maneuvers in Griffith's Birth of
a Nation" noted pictorial drama OF
the Civil War, which visualizes the
problem of slavery and state sover-
entity, now attracting large audiences
in several Of the large cities, and
which Manager Bradley is bringing
here for presentation at the Bradley
theater, is an accurate reproduction
of Sherman's march 10 the sea. 1t
depicts realistic views of the Union
troops passing through Georgia, the
burning OF Atlanta, etc, etc.
Sherman's move was one of the de-
cisiye acts of the long, hard-fought
war as 1t divided the south and took
away food supplies which were need.
ed for the support of the Confederate
army.
The siege OF Atlanta and the flight
OF the population to the country is
also a realistic reproduction of a his.
torical event. In this and in all of the
battle scenes, d. W. Griffith, the pro-
Queer, obeyed the directions of mill
tary experts who mapped out the
movements of the Union and Confed-
crate armies as described in the &C.
curate reports in the possession of
the United States government In
fact many weeks were spent in the
requirement of data for the staging
Of the battle scenes.
Many old soldiers have witnessed
and approved of these reproductions
saying that they recalled with vivid
impressiyeness the hazardous exper-
fences which they endured in army
service.
Portions impress one with a lasting
sense of the suffering due TO hunger,
showing Confederate soldiers on the
firing line eating sparingIy of short
rations of parched corn-in another,
the capture of supply train is an i'm.
prcssive lesson of the hardships of
war
The splendid bringing of this
mighty attraction to this city, by
Manager Bradley, Is not alone con,
spicuous for the enormity of the nc,

There is simple, easy way by which every family
III the United States can stand up and be cOmted-by
which every man. and child can enlist in the hun
dred million, all-American army which the Germans
dread.
One of the most significant utterances made during
the entire made by prominent German official
when America cast her lot with the allies
eve do not fear the American soldiers because they
cannot arrive in time; what fear is the intelligence and
devotion Of one hundred million Americans trained to
faith in individual initiative The day that those hundred
millions act as one that day is Germanys doom!"
Today Germany is fighting with new and more
desperate energy because she fears that the American SOL
dlers will arr1ver in time.
But Germany still refuses to believe that our hundred
million people will "act as one"
How prove it to her? How can we strike to
the heart Of the Hun? How convince the kaiser
that the day of his doom approaches?
That way is to lend our money to country.

If you cannot pay for it in immediate cash buy u
S. Thrift Stamp for % cents and keep buying them

change them for the War Saving Stamp
Begin to do this Save every cent you can and
put it into these stamps.
The money will be used Immediately to provide guns

diers and sailors.
This will be bad news for the kaser-the worst he has
ever heardfOr it will prove to him that we are ready to
act as one. 1t will prove that not only our men, but
every dollar have is behind country It viii prove
