fully rehearsed and posed for the

removed from actual fighting have|
been shown; but Edwin P. Weigle
went to the actual fields of battle and
brought home the pictured present

the dramas of human emotion he saw
there.
In order to secure close at hand
those heart-rending scenes, he had

many of the risks the soldiers ran,
while his machine made its records
of death and desolation. The moral
support he had lay in the knowledge
that he was there by authority of the
Belgian government with whom The
Chicago Tribune had made a special
arrangement to secure the exclusive
motion picture rights on Belgian soil
in return for fifty per cent of the
amount earned by the pictures being
given to the Red Cross.
There will be four reels exhibited
Friday and of the 4,500 feet shown
there will be shown many details of
the battles of Alost, Aersthot and Ma
lines, the pontoon bridge across the
river Scheldt, the flooding of l.ierre,
the shelling of Termonde, the burning
of Antwerp, and always that endless
procession of refugees with their air
of utter hopelessness.
So appallingly real is w'hat is seen
tha it is not difficult for the specta
to to imagine himself standing by
the side of Mr. Weigle in the tower
of Notre Dame, listening as he listen
ed to the martial airs played by tha
cathedral chimes, and watching as he
watched the beautiful panorama of the
city of Antwerp before its capture.
There are indications of busy life und
peace and apparent prosperity; and
then a sudden, blighting change, as it
is announced that Germans are
close at hand. A hurrying figure lure,
a face lifted In mute appeal there, a
soldier kissing his bravely smiling
wife, a hundred little Incidents caught
by tho camera tell the tale of horror
as not the most gifted pen could de
scribe it. For it must be remember
ed, that this is the real thing—actual
war itself!
Every possible phase of fighting Is
shown in one battlefield or another, in
the city streets, and in the houses of
the small towns, through all the length
and breadth of the miles of territory
covered. Infantry is seen in action
and the most devastating artillery
fire where clouds of white smoke oc
casionally obscure the action. Sol
diers fall by the hundreds, their suc
cor being continually attempted by
their brave comrades, while the Red
Cross nurses and the black-robed
nuns gather like angels of mercy
around the wounded and dying.
Soldiers digging trenches with their
little square shovels in the fertile beet
fields are driven from one position to
another, always making bravely a
fresh stand, never daunted until death
stops them. There are many little in
timate details that accentuate the re
ality of It all. Here one man finishes
an apple before taking his place in
the trenches, and here another non
chalantly smokes a cigarette while ac
tively fighting.
All the machinery of war is In evi
dence. An armored motor car covers
a Belgian retreat, _and there are am
munition wagons and ambulances and
the light machine guns drawn by the
tireless teams of dogs, who alone seem
unmindful of the horrors around them.
Perhaps the most dramatic part of
the picture shows the explosion of a
shell ruining a house back of the fir
ing line near Termonde. Another
house is burning, helplessly watched
by the soldiers in a nearby field. A
small force of Belgians fire at the
Germans and advance. As they pass
beyond the line of vision the house
is veiled in a mass of smoke and then
the stone and brick fly.
Most pitiful of all is the view of
widowed women and fatherless chil
dren retreating down a railroad track
while the Germans tear down the
roofs of their houses behind them.
Everywhere, from the battle of Alost
to the fall of Antwerp, is the entiless
succession of the helpless victims of
hideous, shuddering war, the women
dry-eyed, stunned; the children
driven into they know not what fresh
terror, but hugging tight to some
pitiable small possession, sometimes a
cat, or a bird in a cage.
War has its contrasts, from the pa
thetically appealing to the terrifying
ly horrible, and most of these con
trasts are shown. The cruelty of the
spirit of mllitiarlsm and the marvel
of the man-made invention have com
bined to make this spectacle possible.
Mr. Weigle has accomplished, where
others have failed; from the first day
of the presentation in Chicago, there
was almost a riot of people frensledly
eager to see the war picture.
There will he no advance in price.

Progressive Leaders of Twen

cago. Future Program. The
Colonel Not Present.
Chicago.—Progressive leaders from
twenty-five states met here today to
discuss the future of their party.
Those in attendance included mem
bers of the Progressive National Ex
ecutive Committee, of which Geo. W.
Perkins, of New York, is chairman;
State Chairmen and others prominent
in the party councils. O. K. Davis, sec
retary of the committee, said a state
ment regarding the future program of
the i>arty would be Issued at the close
of the conference.
Impossible'Yet.
"Until the views of the various com
mitteemen are presented and consid
ered, "he said, "it will be impossible
to state exactly what the nature of the
action will be."
The impression prevails among the
early arrivals, it was reported, that the
conference would not attempt to for
mulate a policy for the presidential
election of 1910.
Neither Col. Theodore Roosevelt nor
Gov. Hiram Johnson of California, vb'o
presidential candidate In 1912 ’ was
present. California, however, was rep
resented by four delegates, reported to
be prepared to launch a boom for
Gov. Johnson for president In 1916.

The Emergency Value of Big Organization
IJ7HEN a real catastrophe happens to a telephone system;
" when a fire destroys an exchange and the terminal appa
ratus, or a storm lays low the pole lines, the value of a big or
ganization is quickly shown.
When a conflagration swept the city of Chelsea, Mass., it
burned the Bell Telephone exchange and destroyed the tele
phone equipment.
The next day a temporary central station was established,
amid the ruins, and the service restored.
With similar promptness telephone service was re-estab
lished in Baltimore, San Francisco and Bangor, and after the
more recent disasters in the Middle West.
To meet great emergencies, complete switchboards and ap-
Raratus valued at over SIOO,OOO are kept at Chicago and
few York, crated and ready for shipment whenever the call
for help comes from any part of the organization.
