Another heart was ruffed with the nine of trumps, the trump ten was overtaken with the jack, and dummy's last low heart was ruffed with the diamond queen. Now the diamond king was overtaken with the ace and the eight and seven of trumps were admir ably utilized to draw East's six and five.

The opening reels visualize the pre-war scene in a typical New England manufacturing town. What happens in far-off Europe, the assassination of archduke Ferdnand at Sarajevo, for Instance, seems remote and unrelated to life in the peaceful American community. But when Belgium is invaded by the Kaiser's goose-stepping hordes and Britain enters the battle, the effects of wsr soon mske their Impress In the United States.

They are touched by her brave efforts to remain calm and as she goes off (o jail all agree there is no doubt but that the jury will return a verdict of not guilty to the murder charge.
