The Thirty-second Division, which waa composed originally of national guard troops from Michigan and Wisconsin, is scheduled to start home early In April.

First "Movie" in U. S. Produced in Richmond by Use of Trolley Wire and Pail of Water

Few Richmond persons know that the first exhibition of a motion picture was given in Richmond on June 6th, 1894, in the store of Jenkins Jewelry company. Homer Croy in a recent book on "How Motion Pictures Are Made" credits C. Francis Jenkins, a brother of At wood Jenkins of this city, with the production of the first picture machine and the first exhibi 'head A GENIUS C. Francis Jenkins Formerly a Resident of This City His new Invention, The Phantoscope The Most Wonderful Ever Invented By a Wayne County Citizen, The book states that on a certain morning a young man with reddish I hair, a stenographer of the Life Saving Division of the Treasury Departt at Washington, mounted a birvrlp and stnrtpd nn a cross country ! J " ride to Richmond. Ind. He became a hero of the hour by reason of com-1 unyuu-, uui a. siwiei cvem a.a forthcoming, Croy says, when he un packed his trunk the next day. "He asked his parents to accompany him down to the store of his cousin, Charles Jenkins, to see something he had invented. All morning he made ready to show his friends the object that had been the center of his atten tion for two years. He needed electric current to run it, but there was not electricity in the store, the source of illumination being a large-bowled lamp. The only current in reach was the trolley wire that passed the door To the wire he attached a lateral and brought it down to the proper voltage by means of a pail of water He placed the machine on the counter and hung a bed sheet on the opposite wall. The window blinds were drawn on passersby while the young man's father and mother together with a few friends and newspaper men stood in the half-light wondering what was about to be revealed to them. "The arc began to sputter and out from the wall stepped a girl clad in garments more picturesque than protective, who began to execute the intricacies of a butterfly dance. The dancer in question was Anr.abelle, a in that city and other parts of Germany the Ebert government distributes large amounts of propa

NOTHING LEFT BUT THE SQUAWK

vaudeville favorite of the day who had been engaged by the young inventor for one special performance in the backyard of his Washington boardinghouse, with the audience consisting of him and the camera. The lady's remuneration for interpreting the insect's terpsichorean movements had been five dollars, which seemed to cover adequately all the artistry displayed. "As the sputtering grew louder and the grinding more fervid, the girl began to reproduce on the wall the movements she had executed in the boarding house backyard. "At last the arc ceased to sputter, the window-shades were rolled up, and the people began to ask one another what they had seen. It wae not clear. Thpre was no jord t0 express it; the impression could be conveyed only by wuuuua .unuuu. nr viewers went ueniiiu me Hcrreu iu tflumb the wall and ascertain that there was no trickery "Not only was this the first showing of motion pictures in the acceptance of the term, but it also was the first exhibition of colored pictures, Cray says. Laborously the film had been stained by a Mrs. Boyce of Washington, each frame having been done with minute and painstaking care. "The machine used consisted of an arc at the rear, wholly unhoused, with the light passing through a round concondensing lens. To keep the arc from setting the film on fire, the heat rays were eliminated by a water cell. The film was protected by means of a toothed sprocket wheel, which passed it down in front of an aperature corresponding in size to the fram of the picture. Further down, the film was taken by means of another toothed sprocket whel. To the left of this lower sprocket whel was a circular disk with a finger projecting out at right angles. As this turned round it struck the film at each revolution, giving it n slight forward jerk which resulted in the necessary intermittent movement. This was known as the "beater" movement and was continued in use 1 until superseded by the toothed . sprocket rotated intermittently by 1 1 ' means of a Geneva gear. "The film was made by taking rolls of Eastman film into a dark room and Wagonload of propaganda distributed in Berlin. being ganda literature directly to the people by throwing it to them in the streets from vehicles.

splitting it at the desired width. Even with a strip of film of small lateral measure the question was yet to be solved of how this could be progressed through the taking apparatus. The solution was reached by using a camera employing the beater movement. A small V-shaped double-hinged clasp Jenkins made, so that by raising up the top and slipping a width of film in between the jaws and clamping them together, something after the fashion of a punch, he was able to accomplish the desired perforations. By chance he happened to hit on four marginal holes to a frame, one row on each side. This has become the world's standard by an interesting process. The standard of square face rectangular perforations employed first by Jenkins came to be the type now used the world round, whether the machine be in Guinea or Guam."

LOAN DISTRIBUTION TO BE MORE LIMITED WASHINGTON, March 17 Doubt that the Victory Liberty loan, consisting of short term notes, will meet as wide distribution as past issues of longer term bonds, was expressed by the federal reserve board in its March bulletin issued today. The discussion was written before the Victory loan act was passed by congress and before Secretary Glass announced definitely that the forthcoming loan would consist of notes. "Short-term .securities are not on the whole as well adapted for investment by private individuals as longer term issues," said the reserve board's bulletin, "while financial custom has usually dictated the absorption of short-term issues by investment institutions. Practically, therefore, the alternative plan (provided in the bond act) would tend toward the placing of a great volume of the new issues definitely in the hands of the banks and ! of investment institutions throughout the country and less in the hands of nrivato individual . . . . ... This Is equivalent to saying that it may probably be more difficult to obtain a wide distribution of the fifth loan if it be offered in the form of short term notes than if it be sold as longer tehm bonds. The alternative plan would also tend to make the whole operation more transitory and temporary in its working than would the original plan of a bond issue. It would necessarily imply that the early maturity of the notes must be looked forward to and that an extensive refunding operation must take place when such maturity arrives. "On the whole, the note plan would therefore operate to increase the inflationary tendency already noticeable in the present banking situation and would add relatively speaking to the burdens carried by the banks." Mothers' Class to Hold First Session Tuesday The Mothers' class that has recently been organized will meet for the first time Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the lunch room at the high school. The class will be in charge of Miss May Newman. This class will meet every Tuesday and Friday afternoons from 2 o'clock until 4 o'clock.

Mission Students in Korea Join Movement for Liberty (By Associated Press PEKING, March 17.

President Wilson effectively silenced the discussion in the United States as to whether or not the League of Nations would be in integral part of the peace treaty, preliminary or otherwise, to which the Germans put their signature. The President flatly said it would. His statement was oflicial, and was issued in behalf of the American peace delegation, the President making it plain that the Americans never had considered the proposition of divorcing the league provisions from the peace pact. The attitude of the American delegation was outlined later to the correspondents. It is this: Decision Irrevocable. The program of the first sesson of the peace conference 1 provided that upon being drafted the constitution of the league should be an integral part of any peace treaty. Finality was given to this and the whole conference gff jfc A V X. The Americans held that the decision is irrevocable and that the outstanding feature of any pact with Germany will be the league. The text of the official statement issued by the President follows: "The plenary council positively has decided that the League of Nations is to be part of the peace treaty. There is absolutely no truth in the report to the contrary." REPLACES SIMS IN U. S. NAVY SHIFT Rear Admiral Harry S.
