Behind the German Lines. Diagrams are usually dull, including those which patriots and students kept during the War, marking on maps with little pins the lines of the combatants. It was hard to remember which pins stood for which side or what the irregular graph of a strategy meant in terms of life and death. In this picture, which UFA began to make in 1915, the lines of the diagrams move themselves, like animated cartoons. Neither a newsreel nor a story, it is a history of the War, seen from the German side, but impartially; most of the battle scenes...
...game in Cambridge. But from the very decadence of a past may spring the fertilization of new growth; let every man bear these words in mind when he takes his place among those who nourish fond hopes with absent treatment. And as the ball goes tearing down the grid-graph, damned be he who fails to cry "hold that line...

He first indulges his passion by buying an island where he is "The Master" over his own microcosm of necessary attendants-a butler, a housekeeper, a carpenter, a mason. Wearying of these servants, who cheat him, quarrel among themselves, and pine for the peopled mainland, he retreats to a smaller island where he is served by one old couple and their daughter. Out of sheer indifference he allows himself to be seduced by the daughter, whom he marries because...
