MES to Combine in Order to
Work Against German
Producers,
AMERICAN FILMS BEST
No Such Pictures as Those Made In
the United States, Have
Been Turned Out
in England.
limited Press Correspondence.J

UNITED Press Correspondence
LONDON, Nov. 2.-(By mail.) y
British moving picture producers
have formed triple entente with
the producers of France and Italy to
prevent American competition and
that of new German triple ALI
ance" driving them out Of business.
British, movies have been one Of
the English Industries hardest hit by
the war. When hostilities began over
a year ago there were in the British
Isles forty houses producing moving
picture films. UP to date twenty
three Of these have been obliged to
close. Others have been expected to
follow.
That the German houses have been
equally hard hit is not doubted. but
Germany has already taken steps to
prevent finding herself at the close
of the war too far behind the rest Of
the world "A triple alliance" has
been formed between the Germ an Oil
yer and the German Union companies
with the Nordisk house of Denmark.
The new alliance Is officially known
as the Nordische- Oliver Union.
Unless the few remaining British
producers can form an "entente" that
will tide them over until prosperity
comes after the end Of the war, Ger
many will have a lead they can never
hope to overtaek. With American
producers already miles ahead, the
Britishers admit that the prospects
are fairly desperate.
The movement just started en-
braces moving picture alliance with
the producers of the "allied powers"
only Russia, Belgium and Serbia do
not count much from movie stand
point, but france and Italy are two of
the big movie producing nations. With
two such allies, British houses hope
to keep from dropping behind Ger
many.
The plan is to organize handling
houses such as those already estab-
lished in the United States. They
would handle only allied films" and
in this way the British producers
would find a market.
Failing in this. they may be doomed
to produce merely for American
houses without even being allowed tC
place their names on the films. Ameri
can films have invaded London to
such an extent that there Is not q
heavy market for English produc-
tons. Americans have the knack.
they say, of being able to get motion
plays written to At the ability Of spe-
cial actors and also in being able to
spend unlimited am cunts of cash in
securing the proper sort of production
equipment.

Khaki, field grey and German green

in the field has proved that the most
invisible army of all would be one
whose soldiers were clad in models

Such at least is the verdict OF a
the front has made study OF the iy
visibility Of colors.
In clothing an army, the highest
point Of invisibility, he says, would
be obtained by garbing each man n
Ia different color: one in green, the
next in blue, another in grey, one in
red and so on alternately. according
to the color experts scheme If this
proved impracticable, each man should
be dressed in combination of soft
toned colors. Either scheme, says
the officer, would enable an entire
army corps to merge inconspicuously
into any background.
Like the Scottish kits. the olive
drab khaki of the British army today
is based On custom, not science, he
declared. Khaki originated In the
British Indian army and later got to
England. The European war has
shown that it Is far more satisfactory
on the Indian plains or the African
veldt than lined against the land
scape of France or Belgium.
Observers unanimously have report
ed that against the SHOWS Of winter
or the green foliage of spring or sum

spicuous target. The same Is declared
to be true OF the greyish green OF the
