AMSTERDAM, June 3.-Amertcau
Ambassador Gerard already has taken
steps to safeguard Americans In Ber-
lin in case of any unforeseen events.
This was learned today from authort-
tative sources.
The American ambassador asked
the German foreign Office for assur-
ance that the embassy staff and their
families, American Red Cross work
ers and Polish relief commissioners
and American newspaper correspon-
dents be permitted to leave Berlin on
a special embassy train In event OF
any breach between the two countries.
Secretary Won Jagow gave full assur-
ance Of every protection.

MOVING PICTURES IN WAR.

= Airmen have proved to be the most
valuable and reliable scouts in the
European war, and have practically
eliminated the element OF surprise,
witch played such a large part Ia
most Of the wars 81 the world s,s
Recent repor Is indicate that the use
OF photography, and especially Of the
moving picture camera, have greatly
increased the efficiency OF reconna&s-
eance from aeroplanes. 1t Is report
ed that q high speed cinematograph
camera has been invented, which en-
aaaes the aerial scout to photograph
country over which he Is passing at
the rate OF sixty miles an hour Thus
"a panorama OF the enemy 81 position
and environment, much more accurs
at and rich in detail than q map, Is
made by the scout. The machine Is
almost a1tnmatic in its operation. II
Is fixed to the aeroplape, so that the
lens Is always directed toward the
ground, and a. small auxiliary prol
'pellor regulates the operation Of the
shutter in accordance with the speed
OF the aercplane.
The greatest value OF this machine
Is that "a fine lens will often catch
what the eye has missed Dispatches
indicate that concealed artillery has
been located by photographs when 1t
had wholly eluded the eyes Of the
'atImen. ~

According to the Democratic excuse
Tor the Democratic war tax, that In
iquitois measure was forced upon
this nation because the European
war shut of practically all the foreign
imports, thus cutting down the reve-
nue. expected from that source.
Well informed people know that
this theory has in reality gone by the
board and that the real cause Of the
WAR tax was Democratic ineficiency
and extravaganza. II those who still
cling to the old .'hog wash that is
still being dished out In certain Demo,
cratic headquarters will hut read The
daily newspapers they will find ample
evidence to correct their erroneous
belief. For example, here is an item
