Robert Bacon former Secretary OF

France, has secured from the French
government a series of films showing
lances and has made arrangements
with the Triangle Film Corporation
60 distribute the films to theaters
showing its pictures.
Mr.. Bacon was very anxious that
the American contributors to the
fund should have some report OF the
way In which the money was being
used aside from the statistical
statements that have been published
and mean nothing but lot Of fig
ures.
He arranged. therefore with the

While the pictures were not made
for the purpose Of showing battle
scenes, 1t is stated that some Of
them are thrilling in the extreme.
and show closer views Of battles
than most of the war films that
have been exhibited In this country.
II should be borne in mind that
while these pictures have to do with
the ambulance work Of the Ameri-
can Ambulance Hospital. the work
OF that hospiaal Is absolutely neutral
in every way. The American men
are engaged In the highest service
Of humanity. rescuing not only
Frenchmen from the trenches. but
Germans and Austrians also.
These young men have displayed
such gallantry in the trying condi-
lions they had TO face, and have ex-
posed themselves so recklessly to the
effects OF shell fire that several OF
them have earned medals and have
been cited in the military orders for
conspicuous bravery.
