many years chairman of the commit

to secure as large an appropriation
as possible for this work. And he
secured much that he went after.

have the appropriation in the original

view to curtailing the work of i'm

country. On the other hand, those

Senator Burton saw in the present

necessity of curtailing expenses, and

with the same spirit which imbued
Senator Burton, and went over TO the

HOW THE MOVIES ARE
HELPING THE THEATERS


In the October American Magazine
Walter Prichard Eaton, dramatic edi-
tor of that publication, writing an
article entitled "A New Epoch in the
Moxies," explains as follows why the
movies are not really menace to the
theaters:
"Our actors used to fear that il
they appeared on the screens the
public would no longer pay to see
them in person. That fear has been
dissipated. James X. Hackett took
out The Prisoner of Zenda' after he
had acted it for the camera and the
film had been widely shown, and he
has testified that in all towns where
the photoplay had preceded him the
attendance upon the real play was no.
ticeably larger. Feature films, then
with real actors in them, or made
from real plays, are potentially 9
feeder for the dramatic stage. The
step up from short, scatter-brained
films to the long photoplay telling 6
sustained story for two hours ol
more, is step forward in the pro
cess of educating wider public fol
the enjoyment of dramatic art. WI
can say even more confidently thar
we said in this place year ago that
the movies are not menace to tht
theater."

MIR. FITzGERALD's DILEMMA.

Some of the members of the Demo-
cratic party in congress are becoming
nervous over the outlook and are anx-
ious to get back to their constituents
in order that they may explain
things. There are numerous things
which need to be cleared up in the
minds of the people. For example,
the Colorado delegation is going to be
busy explaining why it is that on
every occasion the members of the
delegation voted against the indus
tries of Colorado when the Democrat
ic party cracked the whip.
The members of the party in gen.
eral will have great deal of ex-
planning to do with respect to appro-
priations. The river and harbor bill,
particularly, was an unwarranted as
sault upon the public treasury, par
ticularly in view of the fact that the
Democratic party cannot find money
enough to run the country, but is
obliged to resort to war tax to pay
the ordinary expenses of government.
In the lavishness of its expenditures,
the present Democratic congress ex-
cceds the biggest Republican year by
at least s50,OOO,OOO.
Representative Fitzgerald, of New
York, who is the Democratic chair
man of the house committee on ap-
popriations, spoke right out in meet
ing few days ago when he said:
In few months, l shall be
called upon in the discharge of
my official duties to review the
record that this Democratic
house shall have made in its au-
thorization of the expenditure of
the public moneys. Whenever l
think of the horrible mess that l
shall be called upon to preesnt
to the country on behalf of the
Democratic party, l am tempted
to quit my place. am looking
now at Democrats who seem to
take amusement in soliciting votes
on the floor of this house to
o9erturn the committee on ap-
preparations in its efforts to car
ry out the pledges of the Demo-
cratic platform. If l placed my
political fortunes above my
sworn duty under the law,
would not attempt to carry out
the promises of the Democratic
platform, but ! should place my
self at the head Of this band Of
treasury looters upon every oc-
casion. I appeal to them now,
before it is too late, to stop the
conduct of which they have been
guilty.
1t is not Republican who is say
ing this, but Democrat in the very
best position to know what he was
talking about in regard to the profit
gate expenditures Of his party. There
fore. out Of their own mouths, we con-
denim them, and that In enough to
bring down upon them the condemna-
ton Of all the people in the country.

A REAL TEST OF THE FLYING
MACHINE IN WAR.

If ever there was any doubt at all
of the efficacy of the flying machine
in war, surely the terse reports of
Sir John French must have dispelled
it. "One of the features of the cam
paign on our side has been the sue
cess of the Royal Flying Corps"
writes Sir John. "In regart to the
collection of information, il is impos-
sible either to award too UGH praise
to our aviators for the way they have
carried out their duties, or to over
estimate the value of the intelligence
collected, more especially during the
recent advance"
Sir John does not say so, but it
may safely be surmised that the re-
trea after the battle of Mons might
have been an utter rout had it not
been for the air scout. With the
watchful eyes in the air, it seems to
have been comparatively easy mat
ter for the allies to concentrate
troops where they were most needed
in order to permit the main body to
retire in good order and take up a
new position.
During period of twenty days up
to the tenth of September, Sir John
French tells US, a daily average Of
more than nine reconnaissance flights
of over one hundred miles each was
maintained. The information obtain
ed was so prec Sc and so valuable that
Field Marshal Lord Kitchener convey
ed his thanks for the services rem
dered by the English flying corps.
The present conflict is not the first
in which the flying machine has fig
ured, but it is the first in which there
have been real aerial encounters.
Military officers .prophesied that the
air scout would not be permitted to
reconnoiter with impunity. In the
present war we have heard of at least
a dozen aviators who were thwarted
in their attempts at scouting by the
armed aeroplanes of their opponents.
On this point Sir John French's COM
ments are Illuminating. "The tactcis
adopted for dealing with hostile air.
craft are to attack them instantly
with one or more British machines"
he tells us. "This has been so far
successful that in five cases German
pilots or observers have been shot
while in the air and their machines
brought to ground. AS consequence
the British flying corps has succeed
ed in establishing an individual as
tendency which is as serviceable to
us as it is damaging to the enemy.
How far it is due to this cause it is
not possible to present to ascertain
definitely, but the fact remains that
the enemy have recently become much
less enterprising in their flights.
Something in the direction of the
mastery Of the air already has been
gained in pursuance Of the principle
that the main object Of military avia-
tors is the collection of information"
II this means anything at all, it
means that the command of the air
must henceforth be attained before a
modern general can hope to win a
battle. Until the last air scout of his
enemy has been shot, his own forces
and those Of the enemy must fight
until physical exhaustion sets in and
point Is reached where it is i'm
possible to draw upon fresh troops.
Thus may be explained the alternate
advances and retreats Of both sides
IN the present war. In the last an
alysis victory or defeat would seem to
ninse upon the presence or absence
Of aerial scouts.
