 England's King and Queen have greeted many of the returning prison CTS. Hundreds of patriotic societies have committees of loyal women on the docks where the exiles land to pro- vide them with warm drinks and food and express the gratitude of the na tion fer their self sacrifice to the en- tente cause. Bands play the familiar airs of the homeland as the victims of German prison hardships again set their feet on British soil. Flags line the streets and grateful citizens cheer the returning heroes
 But it's far different picture in disorgaiized Russia. Dispatches from the Russo German boundary announce that thousands of the consumptive and disa abled Russians released by the Ger mans, insufficiently clothed and with out food. are dying along the highways Of the once glorious empire of the Ro- manoffs.

 Conditions have gradually grown worse from week to week. Food has bee ome scarcer. Coal and oil are not o5tainable Spanish sickness has in- tensifed the disorganization.

 The odd part of it is that although all of us are actually happy in the thought of peace, the soldiers and sail ors with whom one talks on the subject are not as rejoiceful as they might be. If we had only kept on another month, '' an officer said to me recently. Just one more month, and we would have had the joy of giving Fritz just what he ought to have had, and in the right place. that is the cry of all the fighting men, British. French and American, to whom I have spoken on the subject And these men who have saved our souls alive say that the Germans never showed more subtle cleverness than in sueing for an armistice at the actual time that they did. Fritz knew what was coming to him, and it was coming good and plenty-so he elected to cut and run at a psychological moment''-this is another of the dark hints that the men from France invariably give to lockers on in England. I suppose they know but the cessation of casualty lists, the lack of the terrible echoes of battling hosts, is very grateful and soothing to the nerves just at pre- ient.

ly, Griffith employed a whole corps of history experts to ranssck thousand of printed volumes, pamphlets. bound files of old newspapers and manuscripts From their researches he built up his scenario. Not one of the historical incidents shown or the screen ca1 be successfully dis puted. He is teacher of historical truths, but he never becomes tiresome ir the telling. Distilled in the alembic of his imagination history takes on the aspect of romance with all of it's fascina- tion.
 Those who have seen '"The Birth of Nation' no more wonder that it cost S500,000 to produce. They only marvel that it did not cost more. Take the battle of Petersburg. for instance. The reproduction of that alone cost a small fortune. Then the burning of Atlanta and reproduction in replica of Ford's theatre, Washington. and of the legisa- tive hall in south Carolina, all cost large sums
 'The Birth of a Nation" is the art triumph of the twentieth century and no one can afford to miss seeing it's wen ders.
 It will be at the Trianon for one week only in farewell presentation.

WALTER REED OFFICERS
PAID STRONG TRIBUTE
Col. ]. D. Glennan, at End Of In
quiry, Says Hospital Is Among
Finest in World.

Investigation Of Walter Reed HOS
pital by the subcommittee of the spe-
cial House committee investigating
war expenditures was closed yester-
day with a formal statement by Col
James D. Glennan. eommandant at the
hospital, who said the institution was
zone of the finest military hospitals
in the world" that 1t is his ambition
to maintain it az such, and he paid a
strong tribute to certain officers who
have been harshly criticised during
the hearings.
The committee. Of which Repre-
sentative Mckenzie Of Illinois is chair
man, will next turn its attention to a
continued investigation of st. Eliza
beth's Hospital. under the same House
resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Thompson Of Ohio Arrange
ments are now being made to bar
irresponsible testimony.
Col. Glennan was not 'gril1ed" by
the committee and the few: questions
asked him were in the kindfiest spirit.
The committee let it be plainly evil
don't that there was no question re-
garding the professional standing and
character of Walter Reed Hospital,
but that the complaints hAYe been
against rigors Of discipline BY young
men FESTIVE to get out OF the service.
and to get to the bottom Of charges
of brutality by officers toward enlist
ed men.

Tells Of Expansion

How Walter Reed Hospital has met
the demand for war time expansion was
graphically shown by Col. Glennan.
The hospital has grown from an in
stitution of less than 200 beds to
capacity Of more than 1000 beds.
During American participation in the
war more than $4,000 patients have
been treated at Walter Reed Hospital,
and there are now Lose patients
Two officers especially have been
criticised and harsh1y scolded before
the committee while scores of en-
listed men gloated from the side lines.
Both of these officers-Lieut. Col.
Mahlon. Ashford and Capt. Cecil H.
Anderson-were loyalty defended by
Col. Glennan. He said that Lieut..
Col. Ashford had been made execu-
tive officer. by himself and that he
selected him to testify before the
committee, partially that he might
get credit for the system Of discharge
through priority which he had in
augurated, and which, Col. Glennan
believes. is the best system that could
be devised.
Capt. Anderson was bitterly ar
raigned during the hearings, and of
him Col. Glennan said: HE is a
thorough soldier and very consci-
entious."

CITY ASSESSOR At WORK
ON OMITTED TAX LIST
Assessor Harney Began Work This
Morning Going Over List Of Omit
ted Taxes Handed In by
School Teacher.

City Assessor Walker Harney began
work this morning going over careful
ly the list of persons whose taxes were
shown to be omitted from the city's
tax list by the comparison and investi-
cation made by Superintendent W. ].
Caplinger and his helpers in the past
two weeks work.
The Assessor will call on all those
whose names are on the list and learn
whether or not the property found as
sessed to them on the county's books
and. not found on the city's books is
assessed to some one else in the city's
records. If the property owners found
omitted cannot explain that this prop
erty returned by them to the county
has been assessed In some other name
in the city, the names will be certified
to council by the Assessor and they
will be assessed as being omitted by
council at their next regular monthly
meeting.
1t is expected that some part of the
sS1 900 shortage recovered by this in
vestigation will be explained away but
it is also thought that the most of 1t
will be found omitted and thus the
city will pick up goodly sum in taxes
through the investigation.
