WITH THE FIGHTING FORCES OF EUROPE

"Fight on! Fight on! Fight on!" That is what the little Belgian army has been doing since it was chased fighting across the broad acres that lay between Liege and Ostend, but it fell back fighting against a formidable host, and, praise be, is still fightingfighting on Belgian soil. Never lias the gallant King Albert set his foot off Belgian ground since the war began, and come what may he does not intend to. Who can measure the extent of such patriotism? Who can ever give praise enough to the gallant little" nation, which the world never contemplated would fight to the last gasp, as she is doing? In the picture in kinemacolour, "With the Fighting Froc.es of Europe," special attention has been given to the fighters of Belgium., whose great achievement will go down in history as one of the outstanding features of the war. Scenes in natural colours will be shown of the early operations on the river Mense. and the surrounding country which has never ceased to reverberate with the shock of cannon for a year; the bridge and citadel of Namur, once the strongest fortress in the whole world, and the scene of terrific struggles in the reign of William and Mary; King Albert is shown leaving one of the Royal residences; the fine horsemanship of the Belgian Hussars is displayed, and the mobility of their artillery is capitally demonstrated. Views are also shown of the Belgian coast from Antwerp down to Ostend. where a gay glance of that seaside city is shown at the height of the season. Tl" 1 kinemifolour pictures ''With the Fighting-Forces of Europe, will be shown a - the Opera House on Saturday and Monday nejt. with a special matinee on Saturday. Box plans open at Millar's to-morrow.
