GET BEST RESULTS i ARE RESULT GETTERS fully rehearsed and posed for the camera, and occasional maneuvers far removed from actual fighting have| been shown; but Edwin P. Weigle went to the actual fields of battle and brought home the pictured present ment of ail the tragedies, the terrors, the dramas of human emotion he saw there. In order to secure close at hand those heart-rending scenes, he had to keep near the firing line, running HARALD WANT ADS 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. Pony and Cart Free Pony and Cart Free Pony and Cart Free PONY AND CART FREE. BULL MOOSE OF NATION GATHER Progressive Leaders of Twen ty-Five States Meet in Chi 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 U. 3. XMAS GIFTS.

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. rl L‘ i l. i I NONE SO GOOD We think that COLE’S HOT BLAST HEATER 1b tho beet heater on the market.
