Crashes Of Shell.

The crashes of the shells are coming
faster every moment The air is full of
balls of black smoke fading into gray
The range guessers are trying every
thing. Some burst far above: some on
my level, but far away: some boom be-
low and I feel the upward toss of the
concussion.
1t is a certainty that the booming will
summon a. flock of the boche machines
soon. Somewhere near they are proba-
bly, already getting into the air.
At a depth of three kilometers the
Latour suddenly makes an upward vir-
age to the right and heads toward
home, climbing out of range as fast as
he can.
He has finished,
I drag my marche- barre back, to make
a virage of my own.
A sharp Observation-Disclosures breaks
behind me. 1t is machine gun fire. I
straighten out; look back I nearly
faint as l find myself staring at NAL

seated battleplane as fast as mine.
Sweat breaks out on my forehead. If
the boche pilot is a good man he will
get me. Gray streaks. the trails of in
cendiary bullets, shoot past on my left.
They are meant to set my petrol tank
on fire and send me down in flames.

without Honor" is the title of
tOmorrow's fve-reel photoplay at the
Lasalle tEeater in which AIargery
Wilson is starred. This is a very
human story with a really unusual
plot which has the rare merit OF
being distinctly original and NJ the
same time plausible. The action
throughout is developed so logically
that the spectator feels that y
might happen just as naturally Oft
the screen as on. Ii is the story OF
a weakling made so by an intoler-
ant family atmosphere. His forced
marriage to a girl of his fathers
choice, his escape to the city under
an assumed name, and his illegal
marriage 10 an innocent girl, are
all incidents that hold the audience
Cnthralled. Darrell F'oss gives an
excellent Interpretation OF the
weakling.
