AUDITORIUM
William Farnum in The Bondman Made Big Hit Yesterday-comins Thursday, The Cross Bearer. Show ing Cardinal Mercier.

William Farnum was never seen to better advantage, except possibly in Les Miserables than he was yesterday when William Fox's version of Hall Gaines The Bondman was shown at the Auditorium theatre The Bond man has been thoroughly revised and been made more powerful. and more thrilling. Love, hate and self sacri- hce radiate from the screen. MT. Famum's portrayal of the revengeflll son. who finally gives up his life for the man he hated. is probably the best he has ever done except the immortal Jean Vatican. The Bondman will be shown again today and tomorrow.
 A master picture is The Cross Bearer in which Montague Love, the immensely popular star in World Pictures is starred. This new World Picture Brady Made tells an intense story of love and hate, treachery and divine devotion, cowardice and cour- age in Belgium at the time of the German invasion. IL tells of one of the experiences of Cardinal Mercier the world-famous prelate, in which he saved his ward, Liane de Merode, from the Hun hordes, and united her to her sweetheart after the most thrilling ot experiences. The Cross Bearer is ar altogether exceptional. altogether ex- traordinary picture. It is a tremen- dous offering, an attraction you must not miss. See it on Thursday at the Auditorium theatre.

To Make Hairs Vanish
 From Face, Neck or Arms

Keep a little powdered delatone handy and when hairy growths ap- pear make a paste with some of the powder and little water, then spread over hairy suface. After 2 or min utes rub of, wash the skin and it will be entirely free from hair or blemish. This simple treatment is unfailing, but care should be exercised to be sure and get genuine delatone, otherwise you may be disappointed.

the Minister Of War, who had then
been scarcely three weeks in office,
was informed that munitions threat
ened to fail our artillery, and that
it was necessary without delay to
bring to the front 100000 shells
per day instead of $500 for the
rs guns. This was merely a be-
ginning. Three days later, on the

For this construction, as for all the
others, once a start was made there
was no stopping it.
"All orders for heavy guns had
been countermanded at the begin

resumed in the month Of September,
1914. Seventy-hve per cent Of the
orders for heavy guns, on which we
got along until April, 1917, had
been given out between September,
1914. and the 31st of October, 1916.
In the first seven months of the

April, 1915, there were constructed
