TANKS IN ACTION
 AT TIE TRIANON
War Picture, Indorsed by the British Government,
 Will Be Shown

The Trianon offers a genuine war pie ture Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
 The Battle of the Ancre' is an official picture, made for the archives of the Brit- ish government, and bears it's indorse- ment.
 No battle scene picture yet filmed has created the interest as has The Bat tie of the Ancre.T The tanks are here for the first time shown in action and every phase and every vital scene in the terrible and terrific battle of the Ancre are depicted.
 The all-seeing eye of the official British camera tells story beggaring description by mere words. The advance of supply trains and troops, the soldiers eagerly waiting in the front line trenches for the command to charge--then over the top into the maelstrom of furious hand . to-hand encounters. Behind them giant howitzers hurting out curtain of fire to beat down the first three lines of enemy defenses, while machine gun and small arm fire riddle the visible enemy.
 Pictured here are whole regiments of captured Germans scenes in dressing camps and hospitals, Red Cross workers salvaging human lives under murderous shrapnel fire and the scenes of jubilation in the 'victors camps at the triumphal return of the allies.
 Nothing so remarkable In all the world S history has ever been pictured as is seen in these official British war films.

How the Airmen Fight

From "The Latest Types of Fighting
 Airplanes," by Carroll Dana Wins.
 low author of With the French
 Flying Corps"
 The tendency in airplanes has been to run to two extremes-for fighting, as small and fast as possible, and for bombing, as large and powerful as possible. In three -seater one passen ger sits out in front mounted in a machine gun turret. The pilot comes next, immediately behind the motor, while the second passenger sits behind him mounted in another machine gun turret This airplane is capable of carrying many hundred pounds of ex- plosives and, being very fast and heav- fly armed, generally accomplishes its mission.
 The German "Albatross" is capable of a horizontal speed of 300 kilo- metres (about 137 miles) an hour. It is a single scatter and carries three ma chine guns which, being controlled by the motor, shoot automatically ana simultaneously through the propeller. The sight of these weapons converges at approximately 50 yards in front of the airplane making the chance of hitting the opponent three times as sure. The motor is equipped with ar electric self-starter It has also elec- trical devices for keeping the water warm in the radiator while flying at great heights. The wing surface is less than 20 square yards.

One of the most pretentious film of ferings ever presented at the Strand will make it's initial appearance there today when Mary Pickford is seen in her new est Aircraft picture, "Rebecca of Sun rybrook Farm.
 Little Mary" with her effervescent youth, her genuine comedy and her won derful knowledge of dramatic technique, is the ideal person to immortalize the little girl of the New England village, who, though dominated by two old crabbed aunts, does not permit it to crush her sririts.
 How she figkhts with the Smellie chill dren, sells soap to get lamp for Mrs. Simpson, gives a circus in barn from which she is routed by the aunts, and
 How she fights With the Smellie chdl- after graduating from school they are again brought together is all brought out in typical Pickford style.

In Germany, where almost all the copper is needed by the army. some in genious substitutes have been found for 1t in the peaceful arts. In house wiring, for instance, iron wire has taken the place of copper. Iron cannot. however be used as conductor of electricity for long distances, nor where exposed to the air, because it would cost too much and because it rusts too quickly. Nor can 1t be used for telephone wires. Locomotives are now built with scarcely any copper Siemens steel taking it's place Enam- eled iron is now used in breweries, Kitchens and other places which had to give up their copper tanks and kettles
