sented at FoX's tomorrow evening"
"America's Answer" the 7. S. gov
eminent five reeler and Mary Mae
Laren the charming Universal star in
Bread
Americas Answer is a continual
ton Of the history of Americas part
in the world war and picturized by
photographers of the u. S. Navy
Signal corps and Allied armies, and
depicts the last of the great battle
leading to the downfall of Germany.
Americas Answer takes up, one
after the other, the war activities of
the French, British, Italians and
Americans, and shows stirring scenes
from all the allied fronts. Bread"
With Mary MacLaren, is the story Of
Candace struggling actress who tried
to sell her talent to a theatrical man
ager. Refused, and tormented by the
barbed thruSrS of hunger, she had
taken her few remaining pennies and
travelled the rain-sWept streets to a
cheap bakery where she bought q loaf
of bread. Coming out she slipped
into the gutter and the bread rolled
onto the pavcments, q wet soggy mass
of dough. A limousine stopped: in
1T was the man she thought she loved
and another man who loved her
Worthily. The man she thought she
loved stepped on the mass of bread at
his feet, spread it with his umbrella
and carried her aIoft into the
crowded cafe as a drunken trophy of
the boulevard. What did Candace
DO? That would spoil this thrilling
sensational photo drama that will
thrill you when you see it at Fox's
tomorrow night. Monday will see
VIM. Farnum at Fox's for three big
days, in his latest fighting drama For
Freedom. This new vehicle affords
Mr.. Farnum another opportunity to
show his remarkable dramatic ability.

scenes in the prison, on the battle

Heart Clutchers' all. In other
words they are all Farnum scenes of

in q real and strong way give relief
in what is restful and strengthening.

ALLIED AIRMEN
NOW SUPERIOR
UNEASlNESS UE GERMAN HIGH
COMMAND INCREASE

British Air Force Headquarters in
France, July Correspondence OF
The Associated Press) There have
been many signs recently OF the ex,
IRENE uneasiness by the German High
Command regarding the increasing
ascendancy of the allied airmen on the
| Western front. This has been especi-
ally evident since the American air
men have begun to appear in force
and have proveled themselves of the
same mettle as the French and Brit
ish filters.
1t has become commonplace a.
mong British airmen that their oppo-
nents will not face combat in the air
unless in strength of three or four to
one, and German prisoners have told
of German airmen being punished by
their flight commanders for returning
to their airdromes still laden with
bombs and ammunition which they
had been ordered to drop over the
British lines. 1t is becoming increas-
ingly hard to find German airman
over the allied side of the lines in the
daytime, as is proven by the Germans
own admission that when they man
age to bring down an allied machine
it is almost always oevr their own ter
ritory.
Pehaps Perhaps the most striking
evidence of German official aniexty
regarding the allied sure riority Il "a
air is to be found IL the official Ger
man wireless news. This, while always
imaginative and rarely accurate, has
of late been singularly wild and full
of fiction regarding the situation in
the air. In an effort to counterfeit the
the depressing effect of the real
facts of the situation, the German
statements, bordering almost on hum
or.
Thus recent copy of the German
wireless report says? Superior me-
thods of flying and greater skill have
secured for the German Air Force
successes on scale such as were
never known before" The same state
ment refers in glowing terms to the
reckless attacking spirit" of the pill
OTIS of the German chasing planes a
phrase which provoked much mert
riment among British and American
airmen, who of late have found that
even one of the reconnaissance ma
chimes can rely on putting to fight
the German machine which is not
accompanied by three or four of it
own kind
"If German is really pleased with
her air record for the past few months,
