NEW METHOD OF WARFARE
Shown by Griffith in "Hearts Of the
World"

According to D. w Griffith, in
modern, battles the nearer you 80 to
the actual front the less you see Mr..
Griffith has shown a great deal OF the
methods of modern warfare in his
Hearts of the World" which will be
seenat the opera house Thursday
evening and again on Friday after
noon and evening and several of the
most important scenes very vividly
demonstrate how the battles were
fought on the very ground where the
Americans were engaged in France.
The veterans who recall the bat
ties of Gettysburg, and the readers,
who know their history of the Old
Guard at Waterloo, would be dumb
founded at the sight of an open field
OF desolation right in the thick of the
struggle. There was no such thrill
as the spectacle of troops OF cavalry
laundering across the line of fire at
a full gallop. In the recent struggle
the enemy was seldom in slght-noth-
Ing but ragged tangles OF barbed
wire, shell holes, tumbled and torn
ground, with only an occasional heap
Of war-stained clothing to show
where some poor fellows lie unburIed
IN No Mans Land
The soldiers on the firing line sell
dom SEQ whom they are firing at; the
artillerymen never see their target
Guns are sighted. just as ] have tried
to show them in Hearts of the
World entirely by mathematics at
signals from the airmen, who give di-
rections as they go weaving their
figure eights through the air.
Mr. Griffith shows in Hearts Of the
World" the tremendous activity one
finds far back from the firing line,
where he says there was more action
and more excitement than in the
front lipe trenches.
