| lesson that it has taught is a lesson that will not soon be forgotten by the people who have seen it. A Tribute. This is not a press-agent's story of the picture to be shown at the Lyric to night. It is a -newspaper tribute to a great film - a film which has opened the eyes of the American people to the inner meaning of war as no other agency on earth could have opened them.

Kipling, Ros seau, Blythe, Turner, Schilling, could not collaborate in a work that would bring to the mind a comprehensive idea of the gigantic conflict that is now being waged in Europe. It is a thing too vast, to awesome, to tremendous, to be conceived by the human brain through printed letters.
