their school books they read of what
was done by Americans in the vari-
oCs wars In which this country parti-
cipated. To them and to many others
who know nothing of war, the tales
of these achievements are as a dream
in printed words, a dream Of honor,
but seen only in the perspective of
imagination.
They read of bloodshed of Ameri-
cans for America, a sacred thing, but
hidden forever from their eyes in the
closed book of the past. In Powder
River" one sees in actuality that
sacred event-the shedding Of Ameri-
can blood that others might be free.
One sees the soldiers fall, killed or
wounded, as they pass into the hell
of shell and shrapnel fire; sees them
borne from the field of honor by the
minions of the Red Cross, who APP
pear as if from nowhere with their
stretchers and first aid.
The film gives a closeup of the
four great battles in which American
forces participated-Cantigny, Cha
teau Thierry, st. Mihiel and the
frightful Argonne, in which the Ger
man armies literally were blasted to
shreds by the most terrible artillery
fire ever concentrated upon a foe. 1t
shows the three things which really
! won the war-the efficiency of the
] navy, the heroism of the American
soldier and the overwhelming prepOn-
derance of artillery Which blazed the
way to victory.
If you go to see Powder River
you must go prepared to study as
well as to be thrilled. There are
thrills in plentitude, but there also
is a remarkable opportunity to study
the true conditions of war; to note
how men act under fire; how military
actions are conceived and carried tC
successful completion; how airplanes
are cornered and brought down by
relentless artillery fire from which
they are unable to escape; how the!
swOOp down within a hundred feet o.
the ground and empty their machine
1t guns on the infantry, and hundred
It. of other features which the motion
d camera caught and now disclOses sew
IN en- years later to a new generation.
IL All this is unfclded in film reel
which last more than two hours, an

numerous injuries to residents, sew
en- deaths were recorded, majority
being caused by shock. The property
loss was exceptionally heavy in the
valley Of the Ottawa River and the
St. Lawrence and Saguenay basins.

Thus did Frank Stearns come to
be called by some "the Colonel House
of the Coolidge administration"
Those who know Mr. Coolidge and
Mr.. Stearns best, however, declare
there is little comparison between
the part Of Mr.. Stearns in the Cool
idge administration and the role of
Colonel House when Woodrow Will
son was in the White House.
Although Mr.. Coolidge's best
friend, Mr.. Stearns, who now practi-
cally has retired and is worth sew
eral million dollars, makes no effort
to enter into any Of the public af-
fairs with which the President is
dealing. He scarcely ever attends
any of the conferences that take
place at the White House. He knows
all the cabinet members, but seldom
talks business with them. He is ac-
quainted with Republican leaders in
the Senate and House, but when he
goes to the Capitol he will be found
sitting in the gallery, and generally
when the President acts on a matter
it will be found that he discussed it
with Mr.. Stearns after and not before
the action was taken.
Mr.. Stearns likes to be near the
President. but he does not like to
project himself into the limelight
of publicity that constantly plays
on the White House. He says he
never made speech in his life, and
never intends to; and when the I'm.
ion League Club of New York recent
ly listed him for an address he took
a train for the metropolis at once
to squelch the proposal.
"Ill tell them I'm sick" he said,
"and I'll be sick, too, if they call
on me for speech"
According to Washington society
editors who are sticklers for form,
Mr.. Stearns resides in Boston, but to
the newspaper correspondents that
are assigned to the White House it
would seem that he lives. at the
White House and frequently makes
trips to Boston. He may be seen
about the executive offices most any
day, wearing his hat as though he
had just arrived or was on the point
of departing, but he seldom does
either. He is as approachable as an
Indiana politician, and will talk at
length on his favorite topic-Calvin
Coolidge diligent inquiry has
revealed not one single instance
where he ever disclosed an admins
traton secret.
Frank w. Stearns has the greatest
possible admiration for and conf
dence in Calvin Coolidge, he honest
ly believes him to be the greatest
natural executive produced by the
present generation, and he is salts
fled to stand on the side, assist
where he can, and watch the fulfill
ment of the expectations he develop
ed ten years ago.

Observation-Disclosures
COOLIDGE WOULD BE PRESIDENT

Washington, March 3.-When
President Coolidge takes the oath
Of office tomorrow, near at hand will
be a man, a little under medium
height, rather portly. and slightly
gray, who will be thinking even
though not saying: told you So"
That man is Frank w. Stearns,
friend, counselor and ardent sup
! porter of Mr.. Coolidge. He some
times is described as the one who
"discovcred" Mr.. Coolidge, but he,
himself, makes no such claim, hold
ing that Mr.. Coolidge needed no
discovering.
| Mr.. Stearns is Il Boston merchant
and makes no pretensc Of being a
politician. Yet he was the first to
predict that some day Calvin Cool
ldge would sit in the White House
and tomorrow will be the day Of
J. days for the Boston man because
he will see not only prediction but
| a dream come true when Mr.. Cool
| idge becomes President by vote Of
the American people.
Calvin Coolidge as President of
the Massachusetts, Senate in 1915 first
came under the notice of2Mr. Stearns.
He represented the Northampton
district and Amherst College, of
which Mr.. Stearns was constructing
sewerage system and the trustees
; wanted a connection with the city
system Of Northampton. An act of
| the legislature was necessary, and
Mr.. Stearns sent representative to
| see Senator Coolidge. 1t was just
: three weeks before the close of the
session and the legislative calendar
was damned.
, The representative of the trustees
made his plea for the legislation,
hoping for favorable response des-
pite the early ending of the session.
Mr.. Coolidge said little and prom
ised nothing. The representative
was bitterly disappointed; and when
the report of the interview was made
to Mr.. Stearns, he was as he, him
self admits, plain mad
When the legislature convened
again the next winter, however, Sen
ator Coolidge without a word took
up the legislation ana put it through
The quiet and efficient way in which
the bill was handled attracted the at
tention Of Mr.. Stearns, and from that
beginning developed warm friend
ship that has had much to do with
bringing Mr.. Coolidge to the point
he will reach tomorrow.
1t was at Frank Stearns' urging
that Mr.. Coolidge become candi-
date for lieutenant governor. II
was. with Frank Stearn's aid that
he was elected governor. 1t was
Frank Stearns who backed the move
to obtain the Republican presidential
nomination for Mr.. Coolidge in 1920
That move failed, but it won the
Massachusetts governor the Vice.
Presidential nomination. His cleo
tion with Warren c. Harding follow.
ed, and Mr.. Harding's death made
him President. And in the recent
pre-convention and election campaign
the Boston man had a quiet but, the
campaign managers say, not in.
