CANADIAN GIVES INTER ESTING TALK 6N THE WAR Although the moving pictures of the war shown by the Canadian sol diers at the Globe Saturday were not of the thrilling, hair raising battle pictures that were expected by some, the illustrated lecture given by Pri vate W.

Only 6.9JU feet of film were shown. of which all but one short battle scene of the worst prhaaea of the war were eliminated. There are 13. tJO feet of film Uken of the Canad ians but, owing to the fact tliat many mothers and relatives of American soldiers do not like to sec the wool, all of that was left out and the lec ture devotedto the educational and illustrative.

Especially interesting w ere the pic ture illustrations of the movements of troops and ships at the battles ol Ypres and Jutland. Many other in teresting things about the war were shown, and Private Collinge took time to explain, along with hospital scenes, the wonderful work the Red Cross is 'doing, and urged the un stinted support of that organization.
