••Behind The German Lines,"
official German war piotore depict,
ing tbe German aide ot the recent
we*v|rBayaBtira a*p*ss»f _es*** at
the State theatre bere Monday
evening, aod was adjudged ooo of
the really fiae films of tha recent
World war. Tha film was aot
only informative bat highly
educational, and particularly
brought oot the indispensibility
of the cavalry arm of servioe
dariog combat.
The film was on official release
of the German war offices, a
majority of the scenes having
beeo filmed during actual battle.
Tbere was pleoty ot humor, path
os ood romaooe, end oot a little
to touch the heart strings. The
sacrafioes of those of the. 'Most
cause" were, iodeed, touching.
Tbe map of stragetio poiot* was
best understood by one versed le
matters military. Those who here*
totore sought to minimize ths
relative value of cavalry*in time
of war ware giveo oo insight to
its indispensibility which shoald
forever sileaee those who- argue
that the borse is aa obsolete factor
id matters of combat. The Germans ased their cavalry ia highly
effective manner.
Bellwood movie fans were
unanimous to voting "Behind the
German Lines" thi finest film
showo here ia years.

The following eulogy as to the
esteem of the deceased baa beeo
contributed by William Robert
Fuoss:
Tbe lite men live reflect tbo
character of testimonial given
them at death. Ho finer tribute
coold bave besa paid a citizen of
Bellwood thaa tbat whieh appeared oo tbe "bulletin board" to tbe
froot ot the Logao Valley Baptist
church followiog the death of the
Iato lamented James V. Smelker.
It read thoss
"Jsmes V. Smelker is oot dead.
He who believes id Almighty
God shall never die."
Folks wondered at the brevity
ot that tribute. Less thao fifteen
words and these made to express
a sentiment aod a troth whieb
shall live loog after meo aod
nations have gone into dost.
Words are tbe vehicles ot thought
They shoald convey tact. Some
times they ere resorted to io
covering op troth. Ho troth aeed*
ad aoy cover ta the lite of tbe late
James Smelker. His tribute
eptomizes f,he life complete. It
fitted nicely into tho days of the
departed, tbe character of person
devoted to Christian principles
end Christian services.
His Christianity waa ot tho
refined ood unoatentious kind,
developed oo tbe anvil of Christian service, too white light trom
which shall ssrve ia future years
