O O O
England Had No Doubt.

England Had No Doubt.
We had no doubt as to the ultimate
success of our policy. The old
Dynasty had sunk to the lowest
point of disrepute. The nobility were
corrupt, broken and degraded. The
townspeople and the peasants were
Wretched and distracted. Many of the
more distant provinces of France
seemed ready, nay, eager to break
off and set up as separate com
munities. All seemed to declare that
we could do what we would with
France and that we could reduce her
to a condition in which she would
never more be a danger. And then
a miracle happened! A woman chung
to Gods skirts and prayed.
Out of an obscure village In east
ern France arose the Maid of Or
leans Neither tho capital. nor the
nobility, nor the church, at first. gave
her any support. Yet soon her exam
Pile and her spirit brought unity to a
disunited and leaderless land 1t
made those who had seemed most
hopeless, and those who had most
cause to be hopeless, believe that the
Lord would yet have mercy on
France. She galvanized the dropping
dynasty into new life and gave it a
new Inspiration. She made a soldier
and statesman for the time CT the
indolent, selfish, disillusioned Dau
phin. She shamed those who thought
that France must inevitably break
into dozen pieces and that 1T was
too late to save the country. She
showed the world how the English
could be made to withdraw and how
France could be freed and re-estab-
lished.
Even when reaction followed the
reign of miracles, when the fate of
war turned against her. and when
she paid the penalty. her spirit still
prevailed. Though dead. she COM
manded the soul Of her people. Each
fatal triumph Of the English and of
the church only brought nearer the
inevitable end. In that handful of
grey ashes. whether blown about in
the market square of Rouen, or scat
tered on the waters Of the Seine
lived the fires Of her patriotism and
her faith. And hers was no tempo
rary, no fading victory. She re-
mains the most popular and the most
touching figure, not merely in
| French, but in all history.

What France Wants.
Does France want that? Does
France call that security? Does
France think that will stabilize her
power over Europe The English five
centuries ago thought like that. Ihey
burned Joan of Arc, not out of
hatred, but out of their hunger for
strength and security. Yet 1t was this
very desire, this wish to enjoy the
fruits of victory undisturbed, which
in the end drove them from France
and left them bereft, not only of their
conquests, but of their hereditary
and lawful possessions.

the Ruhr and in Germany as whole
the conditions which produced such
effects and such a leader as the maid
of Orleans. We conquered France at
Agincourt and we proceeded. after
the manner of the age. to demand
the equivalent of separations which
it was beyond our power to exact or
that of our enemies to pay. Against
the will of the people of France we
occupied large part of their coun-
try. We set up as best we could
military governments. We demanded
security from French attacks. We
calculated that the rulers of France,
the Dauphin and his advisers, were
too weak to resist our Just de-
mands." We summoned our Burgund-
ian allies to come to our aid and to
help US keep the common rebels in
their place.

THEATRES
Coming to the Strand

"Under Two Flags Is one OF the
few really great stories.
A love epic immortal, a tragedy
sublime, Under Two Flags" cap
tured the heart of the world when it
came as a novel from the pen Of
Ouida (Louise de La Ramee), and its
growth in popularity was heightened
by it's presentation on the stage by
many renowned artists, including
Blanche Bates. Now it has been
made into a picture by the Universal
Film Company. and will be seen here
Monday at the Strand theatre. Pris-
ella Dean, than whom there is no
more magnetic figure on the screen.
breathes the fire of her dynamic per-
sonality into the role Of Cigarette,
idol of a French regiment at Algiers.
There are street scenes in "Under
Two Flags that give a true insight
of the life of the masses in this
French province of northern Africa.
The military pomp of an army post
Is accurately presented. And the OPP
pressive luxury surrounding the
pampered beauties of a sheik's
harem add picturesque color to this
dramatic film.
The technical staff at Universal
City, a group of highly trained ex-
perts, spent months of study prepar-
ing for this production. Every inte-
rior setting. every street scene, was
constructed with faithful accuracy.
Hundreds Of photographs of different
parts of Algiers were obtained to
guide them in their work. Not an
inharmonious note was allowed to
creep in.
The result is that those seeing
Under Two Flags might well inn
agine they are spending an evening
in the African desert. While the pic
ture is superb as a spectacle, 1t is
also a work Of great historic value.
