T SALONIKA IN BIG ASSAULT Smallpox Breaks Out in the Captured City and Greeks Fear It Will Spread to Their Army. (Continued from Page One.) Ing disappeared when the troops left for the front." An army of 25,000 Kurds Is marching on Constantinople and it is feared they will attack the city. The plight of Christians here is deplorable. The dangers were heightened today by an edict from the Sheik Ul Islam, the head of the .Mohammedan priesthood exhorting all true followers of Mohammed to .rise. There is grave danger of pestilence in the city. The presence of thirty thousand wounded men, the scarcity of water and bread and the unsanitary conditions attending the housing of an army all combine to affect seriously the public health. Roman Catholics so far have been the greatest sufferers in Asia Minor. The French consul at Beirut reports that Mohammedans there looted several monasteries. SHELLING ADRIANOPLE. BULGARIAN HEADQUARTERS, Stara Zagora, Nov. 7. Under cover of a heavy fog a Bulgarian battery approached Adrianople early today and threw severl shells into the Sultan's Chinese mosque which was badly damaged. The battery was under fire for half an hour but withdrew without the loss of a single man. Members of the Bulgarian Red Cross are fired upon every time they attempt to care for the wounded lying outside the walls of Adrianople and three have been killed by Turkish bullets. A GENERAL ASSAULT. LONDON, Nov. 7. An assault on the Tchatlja defenses of Constantinople south of Lake Dorcos was begun at dawn today by Czar Ferdinand's army according to messages received by the Servian government at noon. The Bulgarians had made a breach in the first defense and had entered when a .Turkish land mine exploded and killed or wounded more than 3,000 men. The Bulgara fell back and the Turks again occupied an unbroken front. CITY IS OCCUPIED. ATHENS, Nov. 7. A telegram from Katerina on the west-coast of the gulf of Salonika states that the Greek army Entered Salonika this afternoon and formally took possession of the city.

DRAMATIZATION

Interesting Presentment of a World's Literary Masterpiece in a Moving-picture Theater. The Public Is an Uncertain Quantity.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. It's hard to tell about the public. Sometimes it seems entirely degenerate. Again to have noble aspirations. But if the critics of the moving-picture theatres had been out Monday and Tuesday, they might have learned a thing or two both about the public and the theatres. That is, if they had seen the dramatization of Homer's "Odyssey" at the Palace. Here was the moving picture drama at its apogee. In its pictorial, educational and theatrical phases. And that the public appreciated it was indicated by the crowds that thronged thither. And at just double the admission that is usually charged. Here was the pictorial presentment of one of the world's greatest classics. Which is supposed to appeal to the cultured and the academician rather than to the average. But that the usual patrons of the picture houses were interested, as well as those who go out only on occasion, was shown by the attendance of the former. What is the hold this great classic has upon posterity? Simply that it tells a story. And tells it melodramatically. For no melodrama was ever written that is, in the Bense that melodrama is understood which . exceeded in thrills the tale of Ulysses and his adventures. When you reduce the great literary classics of the world to their last analyses you will find that, ten to one, their interest lies in their story-tolling qualities. It's the same with the most famous ! of the world's masterpieces in other of the arts. The greatest pictures tell a story. The greatest musical compositions relate a tale. The most celebrated pieces of sculpture have that human interest without which the most finished product of art cannot make a universal appeal. And unless it makes that same universal appeal it cannot be ranked as a classic. For, in the end, the mass decides. It is the jury which sits in judgment upon the activities of humanity. And its pronouncements, whether right or wrong, just or unjust, are almost always final. And, , paradoxically enough, oftener than not, hit the bullseye. And art must have its seal and approval. Art cannot live without it. It is vital to art's existence. And, in this, makes for a sort of equilibrium which seems necessary to the life of society. If Art swings in its orbit unobstructed, it arrogantly ignores the humanities. If humanity beats its way unmolested toward its mysterious goal, it brutally tramples down beauty. One must have the other. Or neither can exist normally. It was interesting, therefore, to observe the complexion of the crowds which viewed the reproduction of the story of the celebrated Greek poem. It must be confessed that, now and then, the foreign film producers do a thing a little bit better than it can be done in this country. The character of those enacting the j roles of the Odyssy, in instance. It is to be doubted if Ulysses could be more realistically depicted. For he was, as the saying goes, "a splendid figure of a man." The Italians lend themselves to dramatic presentation with a fluency Americans are incapable of. And their goddesses and mythological heroes were the more convincing perhaps because they were posed by representatives of this passionate race. "Calypso," for example, was sufficiently alluring to make anyone understand why she caused Ulysses to tarry for a period of eight years. After all, Ulysses had little "kick" coming about Penelope's suitors. Ulysses was, however, typically masculine. I will do it but you musn't, he said in effect to the woman. I'll hang out eight years in the envirrons of a beautiful woman, even if she is a goddess. But these suitors are an abomination. To be sure you haven't noticed 'em. Have been true to me for twenty years. But, all the same, they're a nuisance and must be cleaned out. The story stops most happily with Ulysses and Penelope in each others' arms. When Penelope came to, and put Ulysses through a cross examination, Ulysses might have had some ado to explain that eight years hiatus with Calypso. Be that as it may, both these picture actors were uncommonly good and the whole dramatization admirable. The landscape settings were ideal. And the costuming added to the verisimilitude. The production, in short, is of the highest order of theatrical and educational value and its coming to Richmond was notable. While the usual patronage of the theatre was augmented by representatives from the educational and club element of the town, still, not-withstanding the doubling in the price of admission, the attendance from the former was as large as at the general run of picture plays. Which goes to dispute that pronouncement of the theatre managers that the public only wants the sensational and the banal and even if they want the good will not pay more to get it. The public is something of a coquette. You can never tell what mood it will be In.

OF A CLASSIC

Sometimes you think you have it classified, docketed and pigeonholed. And just as you settle back on the bleachers thinking you have at last solved its enigma you find it elusively slipping away and later see it wigwagging from the opposite outposts. You can't always tell. But in this particular instance it goes to prove the last hypothesis. Also that the critics of the movingpicture theatres base their criticisms on inaccurate information. This splendid presentation of a world's classic goes to disapprove it. And, as stated before, this is but one of a series that has been seen in Richmond. And would be seen oftener if the public would give the superior thing its undivided support. It is to be hoped that some theatre managers will bring to this city some time soon the recently released film giving a picture reproduction of Tolstoi's famous play, "Resurrection," with Blanche Walsh in the leading role. Rather is this play a dramatization of the great Russian's novel of that name. But its presentation by Blanche Walsh a few years ago was one of the sensations of that theatrical season. For in this drama the peculiar talents of this actress were brought into ideal play. It is to be hoped that it will be brought to this city. Don't waste your money buying strengthening plasters.

WILSON US! And Illinois Has Probably Gone Over to the Democrats by a Small Margin, Late Reports Show. (Continued from Page One) Philadelphia, give Theodore Roosevelt a plurality of 30,503 over Gov. Woodrow Wilson. The missing districts are expected to slightly increase his plurality. The vote of the leading candidates as computed from the returns received was Roosevelt, 395,028; Wilson 364,525; Taft 259,344. Taft carried Philadelphia by 10,000 over Roosevelt, but outside that city the in the state the president ran third. The returns for the Socialist party candidates have not been sent out in final detail but there is enough information to show that hundreds of votes that Eugene Debs was expecting, went to Roosevelt. Wilson also lost some Democrats of Roosevelt and the colonel picked up some Prohibitionists. Robert K. Young, for state treasurer, A. W. Powell, for auditor-general and John M. Morin, F. E. Lewis, A. H. Walters and A. Rupely for congressmen at large are easy winners. TAFT'S LEAD CUT. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 7. Late returns have brought Wilson's lead materially in Wyoming. Indications early today were that he would carry the state by 500. The re-election of Congressman Frank Momdell, Republican, is conceded by Democratic Chairman Hopkins. KENTUCKY RESULTS. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 7 The Republicans have saved something out of the wreck in Kentucky. They ran second to the Democrats and thus retain their right to election officers. It was thought at first that the Progressives had polled a larger vote than the Republicans, but the latest returns show Democrats 212,326; Republicans, 105,853; Progressives, 96,814. Counties not yet reported will increase the Republican lead over the Prograssives, while Wilsdn's majority will be over 100,000. NICK MAY LOSE OUT. CINCINNATI, Nov. 7 Complete unofficial returns from the first Ohio congressional district this afternoon indicate the defeat of Congressman Nicholas Longworth by Stanley Bowdie, Democrat, by 160 votes. The official count possibly may change this result. In the event that Bowdie is declared elected it is considered likely that Longworth will carry the contest to the house. KENT IS RE-ELECTED. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Nov. 7. Congressman William Kent, Progressive, i first district, has been elected, accord ing to returns received today. At first it was thought he had been defeated. Samuel Evans, Progressive, has been elected in the eleventh district. BRYAN HEARD FROM. LINCON, Neb., Nov. 7. Abolishment of the unit rule is advocated by William Jennings Bryan in a Commoner editorial today. Special reference is made to Charles F. Murphy of New York. "Let every Democrat gird himself for the fight to overthrow the unit rule," says the editorial. "The Baltimore platform declares that national committeemen should commence to serve as soon as elected. This puts an end to the hold over system, under which an old national committee could organize a new convention. Now let the unit rule be abolished. It has served to strengthen the power of the boss and it must go. Under the unit rule Charles F. Murphy, for instance, by securing 46 or more of the ninety votes of New York was able to use the remaining votes as his personal property." STUBBS IS DEFEATED. TOPEKA, Nov. 7. Complete returns from 94 out of 105 Kansas counties indicate the state has gone to Wilson by 15,000. W. R. Stubbs, Republican candidate for U. S. senator, was defeated by Thompson, Democrat, by 18,000. $50,000 Given Away To Nervous Men and Women It is not a question whether yon can afford or can't afford to pay for a health-giving tonic.

WHAT CLEAN BLOOD MEANS They used to accuse Dr. A. B. Simpson, one of the famous physicians of Indiana, of having a cure-all because his great reputation was established largely on one prescription, the most effective alterative or blood-purifier known. "No." he would remark, "It will not cure consumption, nor typhoid, nor any one of a hundred common diseases. It simply purifies the blood, but it does that very thoroughly." What are the symptoms of poisoned, impure blood? They range all the way from the dreadful syphilis to a muddy complexion. They include inflammatory rheumatism, catarrh, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, pimples, boils, running sores and a number of similar afflictions. All these yielded readily to Dr. Simpson's treatment. And during the forty years this preparation has been on the market as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound it has never failed in a single case. The very vi'nvxS- ikeA0 sf evrtrt ilia hvA Kaoti
