wasn't II the great Bacon who said:
Whoever is delighted with solitude is
either beast or a godr-and this
particular solitude, confess. some
times seems to me little too much
like that enforced solitude OF the
Pomtic marshes of which Ovid walled

could not help noticing at last
as he talked on with fantastic magnifi-
cence, the odd contrast between his
speech and the almost equally fantas-
tic poverty of his clothing. The suit
he wore. though still preserving a
certain elegance of cut, was so worn
and patched and stained that a negro
would hardly have accepted 1t as
gift; and his almost painful emacia-
ton gave him generally the appear
ance OF an animated framework OF
rags and bones, startllngly embodying
the voice and the manners Of prince.
Yet the shabby tie about his neck was
bound by a ring, In which was set a
turquoise Of great size and beauty.
Presently, as we loitered on through
the palms, we came upon two negroes
chopping away with their machetes,
trimming up the debris Of broken and
decaying palm fans. They were both
sturdy, ferOcious-looking fellows, but
one of them was a veritable giant.
Behold by bodyguard!" said my
magnificent friend, with the usual pos
sessive wave Of his hand; my
Switzers, my Janissaries, so to say"
The negroes stopped working,
touched their great straw hats. and
flashed their splendid teeth In a de-
lighted smile. Evidently they were
used to their masters ways of talking,
and were devoted to him.
''This chap here is Erebus," said
my host, and the appropriateness of
the name was apparent for he was
certainly the blacklist negro had ever
seen, as superbly black as some wom-
en- are superbly white.
"And this is Samson. Let's have a
look at your muscles, Samsm-there's
a good boyl"
And, with grins Of pleasure, Sam
son proudly stripped off his thin calico
jacket and exposed torso Of terrify-
ing power, but beautiful In its play of
muscles as that of a god.
Leaving Samson and Erebus to- con-
tinue their savage play with their
nachetes, we walked on through the
palms, which here gave particularly
junglelike appearance to the scene
from the fact Of their being bowed
out from their roots and sweeping up
ward In great curves. One involunta.
rily looked for a man-eating tiger at
any moment, standing striped and
splendid In one of the openings.

Then suddenly to the right, there
came flash of level green, suggesting
lawns, and the outlines of a house,
partly covered with brilliant purple
flowers-a marvellous splash of color.

1t was large rambling stucco

and evidently built on the ruins Of an
older building. We came upon Ii at a
broad Italian-looking loggia, supported
by stone pillars bowed in with vines
very cool and pleasant-with messy
slabs for its floor, here and there
tropical ferns set out In tubs, some
wicker chairs standing about, and a
table at one side on which two little
barelegged negro girls were busy set

purtenances of luncheon, on dazzling

Douglas Fairbanks has produced a

has also produced a film to be used
during the campaign.
Liberty Loan films made by twenty
seven motion picture stars for the

shown in many sections of the Unit

cause Of the influenza epidemic.
A committee Of the biggest motion

the Treasury Department in this

to all the exchange men and exhib1-

the fullest cooperation. Film commit

The Price of Peace
100000 Feet of Film Exhibi
ton For Victory Liberty
Loan Appeal

Washington, April 5.-Nfore than
two million feet Of motion picture film
has been supplied to the treasury de-
partment by the motion picture in
dustry for use in the Victory Liberty
Loan appeal. Many pictures hereto
fore banned by the censor on account
Of the information they contained,
have been released and are included
in this lot. 1.-THE Price Of Peace" is
the stellar feature, containing 5000
feet of actual activities on the battle
front in France, photographed by the
signal corps of the United States ar
my during some of the hottest fight
ing One Of the photographers was
killed while on this work.
The treasury department got all
| this film at the actual cost Of the
film itself, and without profit to any
individual or any concern in the mo-
ton picture business. The exhibition
of all the Victory Liberty Loan ap-
peals will be made by the theatres
without charge to the government.
'"The Price of Peace" contains the
pictorial record Of the first American
attack at Chateau -Thierry. and :he
spectator sees American Soluiers drive
back the Germans when it seemed al
most impossible to check their ad-
vance. This picture also shows a
spectacular air battle in which the
German aeroplane is destroyed, and
this particular feature affords an op-
portunity to see a German aviator IN

/ then he is shown in actual battle for
, peace. Because the men who fall
are really dead is why THE Price OF

est spcctacles in the history OF motlon
pictures.
Dramatization of ten of the best
deeds of ileroism of American soldiers
is another important feature Of pic

! ganization publicity bureau. Repro
ductions of the heroic deeds were

soldiers used as actors. The staging
