Don't miss the thrilling War Pictures Fighting In France" at the Lyceum Theatre, Friday and Saturday, afternoons raid evening: , April 28 and 29 GREAT WAR PICTURES The First and Only Real VNar Pictures in this District Marvelebof modern warfare will be revealed at the Lyceum Theatre on Friday and Saturday of this week. For the aceomodr tion of the big crowds that are certain to flock to see the of• ficial motion pictures of the Fighting in France which are being shown un- -der the auspices of THE WINOIIAM ADVANCE, the flimsevin be exhibited both afternoons and evenings. People • have already signified their intention thie coming for miles to get th s fir st glimpse of war as it really is. Foot• of the photographers who were taking • these pictures were shot down by the Germans. These are the ONLY official motion illctareo of the war that have been presented at the French Embaeey in Washington. The first presentation of these pictures in this country was a private one on November 18 before the french Ambassador, M. Jueserand, who had among his guests at the em. bassy on the occasion the British Ambassador, %Sir Cecil Spring•Riee; the Italian Ambassador, Count Macchi di Celero; the Belgian Minister, M. Havonith; members of the French •Commercial Commission, headed by M. Datnour) and several members of President OVilson's Cabinet and Judges of the United States Supreme le.. Court. The sensational inside view they give of the great conflict in Europe is hevond the power of the imagination to conceive. They are a revelation even to those who thought they were experts in wars the war they knew being that of a past generation. It is hot merely the magnitude of the, struggle and of the appalling devasta- tion a battle to -day causeseneut one of the most amazing and interesting features of these official films is the ingenuity they ,reveal on the part of the men engaged. The spectator gets from these official filme, glimpses of things that have never been mentioned in the des- patches, because not even the war cor- respondents have been permitted to go to the extreme battle front firing line while a • battle was going on, as fthe enemy camera men had to. Even in simple things the films have their surprises. • No one who would apprec- late the meaning of the war reports can afford not to see the pictures at the Lyceum Theatre, Wingham.

When Officer Phippen is after a man he never "late up" until his man is e ' naught. He proved this when n on Tuesday -he arreeted the man Patty who escaped from him in Wingham last June. On the 23rd of June, Patty was ar- rested by Officer Phippen on a charge of attempted suicide, he having tried to hang himself after making an un- successful a'tempt to murder his wife who was nursing a neighbor's wife in Wawanosh, because she re- fused to go home with him. Patty was brought to Wingham wlier•e he was committed to Goderich for trial, but while Phippen left him for a moment het made a successful dash for liberty. A chase was instituted but the prisoner keeping in the bush and swimming the Maitland river eluded Chet constables. Some weeks ago a soldier led a girl to the marriage. altar at Burford, but alae! the preacher, a former Wawa - nosh man, recognized Patty and Ofilc- er Phippen was notified who set out on the trail once more. In the meantime Patty left the soldiers at Burford and. enlisted in the 170th Battalion at Tor- onto. As the 170th is billetted in Tor- onto it was not an easy matter to lay hands on the man at once, but on Tuesday Mr. Phippen brought him back rejoicing and he is now in Gode- rich jail, awaiting two charges, that of attempted suicide and escaping from an officer of the law. There is also a rumor that a third and morel, serious charge will be brought up. Mrs. Patty is at present keeping house for a farmer 'near Walton.
