J, president of Hely Cross college. Father Dinand has_been actively engaged In war work in New England during the past few months, having visited many of the larger cities of Massachusetts and Connecticut, thrilling his audiences by his, eloquence and inspiring them by his' patriotic fervor, thereby arousing greater interest in the many phases of war work which the people are called upon to do as a means of help- ing the government in the present crisis.

In co-operation with this movement inaugurated by the Red Cross national| committee 'on publicity the manage- ment of the Breed theatre has arranged for an exhibition on Monday and Tues- day of this week of the official ilm en- titled The Spirit of the Red Cross. The .picture has a’ sustained story throughout, in the course of which the work of the Red Cross is demonstrat- ed in all its branehes, such as caring for refugees, ministerigg to the wounded and providing resting places and refreshments for the soldiers. Stirring battle scenes, life” in _the trenches, bayonet charges and other thrilling incidents of the war are shown in graphic action. The picture shows Sammy, a typical American youth, leaving his family and his sweetheart anq arriving in France. is sweetheart has volunteered as & ed Cross nurse and she follows shortly thereafter. The dash “over the top” by the American troops clearly depicts the method, of trench warfare and the life in the dugouts under ground.
