There Is Another War

CUBMARINE operations on the At.
lantic Coast have inspired COM
~ parison between mans and nat
ure's methods of warfare. In a
communication to the National Geo
graphical Society John Oliver La GORGE
describes our Atlantic seaboard as one of
natures greatest backgrounds between
the forces of the sea and the fortified
areas of the land. The society has issued
the following extracts as a part of it's
war geography series
"The operations of the sea assassins of
Prussia on our Eastern coast in futile
effort to stay the mighty blow America is
beginning to strike against despotism,
brings into bold relief that ever changing
stretch of coastline we so proudly call our
Atlantic seaboard
"As the crow flies it is some sixteen hun
bred miles from the outharbor waters of
Eastport, Me, to the key-guarded shadows
of Cards Sounds, Fla, but as the shore
stretches southwark miles leagthen into
leagues, rocky citadels give way to shifting
sands, and both yield place to coral reefs.
"He who would follow the foreshore from
northern Campobello Island to southern
Largo Key has journey that while taxing
his legs would certainly stir his soul, for
in doing so he would traverse the length of
battlefront in the most ancient, the most
farfung, the most unremtting, uncompro-
missing war ever staged between puissant
forces OF nature-the war between land and
water, with the wind as shifting ally.
"This warfare, harsh in it's local results,
is yet one that by its analogies has comfort
for suffering humanity in the present hours
Of stress and crisis, for the final results,
however serious the momentary aspects, are
beneficial to mankind.
Before visiting the various sectors of
the seaboard battlefront to study the more
intimate details of the war between the sea
and the soil let US endeavor to get BIRDS

long before man appeared upon the face of
the earth and which can only end long

Flying Through Clouds

WHEN flying in cloud which OBJ ),

it is very difficult for a pilot to tell
whether or not his machine is on an
even keel.
at is true that he will be able to tell
from his speed indicator whether he is
flying level along sloping path but II
at the same time the machine is making
turn this ia difficult TO feel, as it may be
very slight. The compass should, theoreti-
ealy indicate turn, but what frequently
happens is this: A machine enters cloud,
and the pilot watches his compass and
speed indicator TO see If he is keeping
MS course. He then notices that the com
pass needle begins TO move, and rudders in
The opposite direction TO check the turn.
"As he can see nothing except his ma
chine, the horizon being Invisible through
the clouds, he Is very apt TO overcorrect,
With the result that the machine begins to
turn the other way The rudder is then
put over in the opposite direction, and very
iksly overcorrecton again occurs. In this
way the machine swerycs from side to side,
each turn being accompanied by bank

"The people of the British Isles are made

SOUTH OF THE RIO GRANDE.

Corporation his Mexican Topicals.
will return to Mexico next month &c
put before the Administration the
draft of a law for the proper protec-
ton of American film products in the
country south Of the Rio Grande.
The Importance of this step may be
gagged from the fact that hitherto
Mexico has been the customer OF Eu-
ropean film houses almost exclusively
or else of dipping thieves who stole the
American product outright. Mr.
Wright says:
THE only American stars who are
at all we'll known. in Mexico are
Charley Chaplin and Pearl White, the
former as q film comedian of world
wide vogue and the latter because the
French Pathe, of which the American
Pathe Is a branch, distributes her re-
leases. On the other hand the names
and histories of leading French and
italian stars are known to all MeM-
can fans. The reputation of the Amer
lean films in Mexico has been ruined
by the practice CT duping.
Most OF the dupes come from Cen
trail America and Cuba They often
arrive ahead OF the buyer Of the Gu-
thorized rights and cut the ground
