Bo Insistent is the public demand to Bee “Fighting in France,” the official French Government motion picjures being shown under the auspices of The World, that from to-day these re- @Markable films will be exhibited at @o fewer than five theatres in this olty. The pictures are also thrilling Pig audiences daily in Boston, Phila- @eiphia and Chicago and creating mide enthusiasm in Montreal, Canada. “Fighting in France” will be on @ontinuous exhibition to-day at the Vorty-fourth Street Theatre as well @4 at the Fulton Theatre, where they have been stirring crowded houses for three weeks. Both theatres will from now on give continuous exhibi- pions daily.

It ie the unanimous opinion of ail who have seen them that these of- ficial pictures grip the mind and stir the emotions to a greater degree than any play ever staged. This is because they show the actual scenes in the @reatest tragedy the human race has ever passed through, scenes that will be talked about as Jong as the world exists. Yet these pictures were not taken for ths purpose of being thrilling, They are simple records by the cam- era of the events in the great war taken by order of the Great General Staff of the French Army for preser- vation in the national archives, and they were lent by the French Govern- ment to The World at the request of ita war correspondent, E. Alexander Powell, that the people of this coun- try might see for themselves what the war is like. Every scene is a revelation, vivid, convincing, thrilling, Whether tt be "ani lew of the “Steel Walls he preparations for the in Champagne, the battle, with guns seen pouring tons of mm the foe's lines; the battle of Metzeral, with the polson gas seen creeping along the ground, and where the famous Alpine Chasseurs are geen sticking to thelr machine guns though shells burst within a few yards of them; the warfare tn the bkles, the 21,000 prisoners of war, or @ny one of the many other glimpses of Ife at the front, no description can tell it so that it can be under- *etood as it ¢an be from these pictures, Scalietaediinabereseae DOG BITES A POLICEMAN. {Bossom Trying Deore When Va- grant Bull Leaps at Him, Patrolman Samuel Bossom of the East \Pifty-first Street station was trying a Store door on First Avenue near Fifty- ‘“tth Street early to-day when a bulldog it the index finger of his right hand, fearing away the tip of the finger, ‘The dog was leaping at him again hen rots drew his revolver with hin t' ft hand and shot him in the head. jossom then called an ambulance trom jower Hospital and after treatment by ir, MoCallum was relteved from duty. ere was no collar or marks on the log to indicate the owner, Photo d; P.
