PROPAGANDA OF
ENEMY REFUTED

ican literature at the University of
Toledo, and member of the educa-
tional department of the Y. NJ. C. A.
Professor Holiday gives facts and
figures to show how much the United
States has done to help the allies both
since she herself entered the war and
before that time. The pamphlet also
outlines the program that the Amer
lean government has pledged itself to
carry out in the way of furnishing
men and food, to carry on the war to
victory. This folder is for the middle
grades In the schools.
p. A. F. Appelboom Of the faculty
of the University of Kansas, another
member of the Red Triangle educa-
iional department, is the author Of
the third pamphlet, written in simple
language for the pupils of the primary
grades. Mr.. Appelboom presents ma
terial similar to that used by his con-
freres
All three of the little folders have
the merit of being plain, readily I'M
Gerstood statements of facts. No eff
fort is made to launch into lofty lit
erary flights. The writer's have tried
to give definite information and trust

London.-The progressive effective
ness of the allies, both in the cOnstruc-
ton Of airplanes and in the air fight
ing, has never before been more clear
ly proved than in the recent operations
on the western front. In last months
offensive the marrying Of German cav
airy, marching infantry and transport
by lowfying airplanes was the first
example of a really large scale coun-
ter-offensive from the air.
From a r. A. F. officer of long ex-
perience 1t was learned that 1t is now
conducted on the tip and run principle
Of one swooping dive to earth, bringing
the airplane into close rifle range only
at the lowest point of the dive, but by
machines which fly audaciously low
until their ammunition Is exhausted, so
low that pilots have identified the
regimental insignia of the troops at
tackled, so low that the airplane wheels
have been known to skim the earth.
Transport Columns Broken Up.
The object of these low-fying pilots
has been to disorganize the Germans
by sudden burst of fire at close range,
and very successfully they have done
1t, especially when breaking up trans
port columns and causing stampedes
Of frightened horses. But the method
has developed until now British air
plane will fly alOng-not merely across
a trench, machine cunning 1t, and
such thing may happen, as at Hamel,
where airplanes and tanks co-operated

Pamphlets Tell French People of
Americas Ideals and
Promises.
HAVING BENEFICIAL EFFECT
Literature Goes Directly to Homes
and a Tremendous Influence for
Good Is Thus Being Exerted-
Distributed in Schools.
BY E. A. BACHELOR.

Paris.-America's ideals, Americas
past attachments and Americas defin-
1te promises for the successful prose-
sutton of the war are being present
ed to the French people in a trench
ant, convincing manner through the
medium of pamphlets prepared by the
educational bureau of the American
7. NJ. c. A.
Through the cooperation of the de-
partment of public instruction of
Frnnce, it has been possible to dis
tribute 10000 of these pamphlets in
the schools. A large percentage of
the literature so distributed has been
tremendous influence for good Is thus
being exerted.
The Y. NJ. c. A. became convinced
some time ago that a general distri-
button of concrete information regard
ing things and aims American would
be greatly appreciated not only by
The French people, but would also do
much to promote confidence and I'M
Outstanding between the two nations.
The French are always eager to
hear about the United States and
never tire of asking questions about
their great ally country. Much In
formation of this kind of course had
been spread by individuals but, I'M
fortunately, all of the Americans in
France have not a clear and accurate
conception Of their own national
3deals nor even a very wide variety
of exact information regarding their
own land.
Consequently it was decided that
pamphlets giving much information in
IA small compass would serve an ex-
cellent purpose. Three of these
pamphlets were prepared.

One, for the higher grades in the
schools or for the colleges, is by DIR.
John Erskine, formerly Of Columbia
university, head of the Y. NJ C. A.
educational department. Its title is:
1.-The Ideals for Which America
Stands" 1t deals mainly with the
causes that impeled the United
