Creeping BARRAGE
REMARKABLE SCENE IN 1.-THE
GREATEST THING IN LIFE"

A great deal has been written
about that wonderful device of mod
ern warfare-the creeping barrage.
For the first time a creeping barrage
has been put on the screen with real
ly grapic details by ID. W. Griffith in
his new photoplay, THE Greatest
Thing in Life" in which Lillian Gish
has the stellar part and which will
be shown at the Lyric theater We'd
nesday and Thursday of this week.
1t is a remarkable battle scene.
No printed words can adequately de-
scribe this curtain of fire under the
protection of which our yank boys
have repeatedly marched into the
Hun trenches. You can see the heavy
smoke clouds sweeping forward as
though by the force of sor.le unseen
giant hand moving steadily toward
the enemy trenches on a Interest.
You can see the shells exploding. 1t
is SO vivid that o a almost hear
the crash.
Through the curtain of cloud a
bombing aeroplane takes it's p~erilous
flight; now up almost in the real
clouds; now darting like an angry
wasp through the smoke and reek of
the battle, just about the trenches.
The creeping barrage is a develop
ment of this a Before the days
of such intensive artillery fire such a
tactical device was never crea,aed of.
This is the first INSTALLATION avail
able to those at home.

victions, one acquittal, and one mis-
trial. Eighteen people were senten-
ced from one to 20 years in the peni-
Tertiary, while two were given the
death sentence. Two negroes were
sentenced to death in the electric
chair for the murder of restaurant
keeper at McGehee.'
DR.. l. N. Garrett, negro doctor
at McGehee, was sentenced to one
year for carnal abuse. Two one wear
sentences were given for selling
whiskey, and one seven year SEN
tence was given for perjury. The
case against DIR. j. C. Young, who
was indicted for carnal abuse, was
continued by the state because Of the
absence of material witnesses.
Four murder cases were on the
docket. Two of these were resulted
in 81 and 10 years Imprisonment SEN
