us, although we had less dead men to

found only five bodies on board. There
were only two on deck, a giant, coal

man, his face pitted with smallpox.

an ugly scar down one cheek, lay out

ITO HELL WITH THE KAISER" IS A GREAT WAR PRODlJCTION

''To Hell With the Kaiser" the great seven-act Screen Classics, Inc, patriotic production, will be at the Coliseum on the Fourth. ''To Hell With the Kaiser" is the most vital of all the pictures dealing with the world war It strips bare the vile soul of Wilhelm of Hohenzollern, and shows the plot by which he and his "Potsdam gang" hoped to get pos session not only of Europe, but of America. ITO Hell With the Kai ser" shows the final destination of this mad monarch, as well as relat- ing his cruel deeds on earth
 A great cast has been chosen to interpret this magnificent picture, which has been directed by George Irving from the scenario by June Mathis, and photographed by George K. Hollister, a photographer and former war correspondent. George Irving also directed the Metro fea- ture patriotic screen drama, "Her Boy" Lawrence Grant plays the Kaiser, Olive Tell, a beautiful star of both stage and screen, plays the leading feminine part of Alice Monroe Betty Howe does a wonderful bit of work as her sister, Ruth, who meets tragic fate in a Belgian convent at the hands of the Crown Prince Frank Currier plays Prof. Monroe, and John Sunderland, himself an aviation n1ovS Win slow DOdpa who is seen in spectacular aeroplane flights which have a strong bearing on the story.
 "To Hell With the Kaiser" has some of the most unusual features even seen in a photodrama. The closing scenes contain a genuine sur prise, combining beauty and forceful- ness, and the Kaiser is shown in those accursed regions to which his base record has destined him.
 Scenes among the American sol diers in the trenches are shown, and genuine air-battle of two opposing aerial fleets is reproduced. The pages of history are unfolded to show the deeds of Frederick III of Prussia and the instruction of the present Kaiser in his war policies by Bis marck,-then the events leading up| to the present sacrificing of the flower of nations. Romance plays its part in this amazing picture, show a thousand wars.

plays of this kind, directed the pro duction. ''The Song of Songs" will be the attraction at the Coliseum Theatre next Sunday.
 Miss Ferguson's greatest laurels were won in emotional plays, and in this photoplay the director and the star have subject that enables them to demonstrate their talents to the fullest extent. The picture ends in a sensational dramatic climax in which it is said Miss Ferguson's artistry is wonderfully displayed.

Hartford's school reopened Monday
morning. There was a good at
tendance in spite of the fact that the
lifting of the ban for all ages had
not had time to be circulated very
for into the country. The authori-
ties feel that there is practically no
danger now as there has not been a
case of the FLU in the community for
over three weeks Parents are re-
quested to keen their children home
If they have a bad cold or any symp-
tom of the disease at all All pupils
becoming sick in any way at school
will be sent home at once. This
will not only prevent the return of
the flu but the spread of all other
diseases common among children at
this season of the year. There will
be no Normal department this spring
as the faculty is bending every eff
fort to put the senior class through
and will have no time to spare for
that work. The school day has
been heightened one hour and SEN
ior classes will meet Saturday morn
ings. Miss Muriel Wilson has been
| elected to take charges of the 9Th,
