S SALEM 
SQ@WIFTMOOR,” at Pride’s Crossing, was opened by 
"~ Mr. and Mrs. Askel P. C. Wichfeld last Sunday 
ning for an illutsrated talk on “Fighting in France,” 
by E. Alexander Powell, the noted war correspondent, 
who is spending the summer at Manchester. About three 
hundred people gathered in the beautiful tapestry room 
and halls of the house. The motion pictures shown were 
n on the battlefields and in the trenches of the western 
ront by military operators under the direction of the 
Great General Staff and loaned to Mr. Powell by the 
sovernnent of France. Music by Phillip’s orchestra of 
Salem accompanied the pictures, which illustrated every 
phase of the campaign of the last two years, including the 
struggle for Verdun, the work of the hospitals and am- 
bulances, and the warfare in the sky. An interesting one 
that took the audience by surprise was one of Norman 
Prince and Elliot Cowdin in their aviation work. Mr. 
and Mrs. Frederick H. Prince, the parents of Norman 
Prince, were present. 
Maj. Henry L. Higginson of West Manchester in- 
troduced Mr. Powell, who gave a short and interesting 
account of what he had seen of the war while in Europe 
as war correspondent of The New York World and other 
papers and magazines. He spoke of the war as the great- 
est of all tragedies, the most colossal of all miseries, and 
graphically pictured the life of the allied armies. The 
alertness of the French, their endurance in the trenches 
‘and their actitvies in the sky warfare were among the 
many points mentioned. The utter impersonality of the 
vhole thing was-shown. A vivid description of the 
battlefield of Champagne pictured the great stretch of 
desolate country pitted thickly with the remains of shells 
‘and other instruments of warfare, until it looked as if a 
hardware store had burned on the scene. Hastily all 
this region, 15 miles in length and five in width, was
