It will only be! shown in a few ,f the most import-| ant cities in Cahada. In the 12,000 | feet of film you see the American eivil 'war start, after being shown the causes which precipitated it. You see the great generals of the contending - sections playing their desperate games of human pawns moved upon the field of slaughter. Then comes the agreement for peace, and Lincoln sets about his super- | human task of healing the wounds| by the application of that great love which made him the towering fig- ure of his age. A fanatic's bullet stills the heart which peat so evenly for all humanity, and the south is thrown back into a worse fate than war. In two and one half hours one sees the happenings of fifteen years of the most ortiical periods of Unit- od States' existence. To watch "The Birth of a Nation" geems as if very history herself rose up as out of some magic cauldron and was visu-| alized before wpur very eyes.

The irritation of "cooties" is guarded against by the addition of a big nutmeg grater. This creates all manner of havoc when he hangs it on a convenient post in his dugout. Stories of tha rat pest suggests a mouse trap as a protective measure, but this fails to catch rodents, ana serves only to get his fingers into endless difficulties when he attempts to salute while it is fastened to his kit. A bath tub and soap tray are included in his toiled accessories, but the use of which they are put, once Charlie is blown into the first line trench, is entirgly different than the purpose for which they were manu- factured. A phonograph invites re- lief from possible monotony. But Charlie learns that there is only one monotony in war, and that is the censtant din of bursting shells, And his phonograph is not constituted to compete in volume of tone with the thunder of gunfire. A terrific rain floods the dugout, andi he discovers a practical use for the phonograph horn in saving him from drowning | when he is obliged to sleep with his head below water. An egg beater, ' coffee poty jug and a multitude of special pieces of equipment for his gun, bayonet and tent roll all find a place in his efforts to make trench life comfortable for himself io the misery of his bunkies. oe, The Convenient Bookstore.
