SEWARD, ALASKA, MONDAY. MAY 15, 1916.
At the movie theatre last night were shown pictures of General Joffre
and King George reviewing troops. There they were, the nominal head of
one groat empire at war and the actual commander-in-chief of the
magnificent armies of the mighty French republic who has now in his bands
the task of holding back the most awful flood that ever swept over a conti
nent. If the allied nations win thisjvar the name of JotTrc will take on a
halo as the years go by until for the French it stands in ages to come as
representing almost something superhuman. He is the one, gieat outstand
ing figure on the allied side. The rest are pygmies anil the disappearance of
the others of them as years go on will cause a concentration of all historic
and romantic thought on him alone. He will be in the event that l-tan o is
saved the very incarnation of the spirit of triumph in the eyes ot his nation.
In other words he will stand out in the minds of generations to come as
something sacred and glorious. Think, then, what it will mean to see him
in the movies just as he was!
If they only had moving pictures a century ago imagine what we should
be looking at today. Down at A. F*. hall on the canvas we could see Napoleon
himself standing on an elevation with “the glorious sun of Austerlitz mov
ing majestically above the horizon and bringing victory and glory to the
French arms. A little more than a century ago a movie camera could have
“caught” Washington crossing the Delaware. Hardly a little more than a
generation ago and we could have seen Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg j
speech. ^
What a difference between battles of a century ago and the battles today, j
The story of an oldtime battle, even on*’ of the greatest, reads something like j
this: At midnight the advance guards came in touch and that of Genera! Joe
Bush was driven in. Daylight was awaited and the First corps of the Lim- ,
burgers was sent against the fortified farmhouse on the left of the village of
Frogville. From the right came word that the Moosers had swept over the
enemy’s position at Mulberry, and at the same time an orderly galloped up
on a foam flecked horse to announce that Jones had emerged from Porcupine
City and had attacked the Mile Sixers on the flank. It was then that the
genius of General Bush shone forth. Rushing in person to Resurrection
bridge he ordered a general advance ami three hours after the beginning
the flower of the Limburger hosts were fleeing, a broken and disordered mass.
A battle today: The Germans are said to be moving westward, evidently
with the intention of pressing the present attack until a year from next
August. Hill 23 is said to be in danger and it is feared cannot hold out more
than a year or two.

ed fire. The man surrendered.
Patrolman John C. Caspers will get
the Rhinelander medal for an attempt
to arrest “Andy” Lewis, cocaine pod-!

The medal of the Automobile club
of America will be awarded to Police

ammonia plant. He entered the
building after he had been warned

plosion occurred went back for a man

engine room.
Policeman George Hagerty will get
the Brooklyn Citizen’s medal for the
^ capture of a man who had mortally
