WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN?

The official Australian correspon-
dent at the in France gives the follow
ng account of Australian machine-gun.
ners claim to have participated in the
shooting down of Baron Won Richtho-
fen:
((About II O'CLOCK on the morn.
ing of April Il the troops along the
Somme and Ancre had heard distant
popping from two fleets of British and
German airplanes which had been figh-
ting high over the German lines, when
a German plane was seen diving after
a British plane,
These two, detached from the fight,
came so low that they were temper
arily hidden by hills from the sight
of the Australian gunners and troops
around them Presently the sound of
approaching engines was heard, and
low over the crest of the hills by the
river came the British plane. making
directly towards position where
there were two Lewis guns.
Behind his plane could be seen the
wings of the German plane pursuing
The German was pressing the Eng
fish plane desperately close and fir
ing short burst from a machine gui.
when about a hundred yards
away from the nearest Lewis gun the
German plane which at first mad been
ohscured by the British plane. was
now sufficiently clear TO enable the
guns to fire on it without risk of hit.
ting the British machine Both guns
fired a burst.
Itch German plane the next in
slant wavered unsteadily TO one side,
banked up. and veered in a sharp
circle to the left. then shot in line
sheer down a steep long angle to the
ground about 400 yards from the
Lewis gunners.
when the burst was fired. an
officer told me he clearly saw frag.
ments of wood or metal licked from
the machine.

to get IT.
The consoling fact is that if Amer
lean factories are late in making
planes, so long as the raw material
flow to France and England is main
tanned, the Allies will have machines.
Mr.. Ryan's first move was to call
in Colonel Disque, head of The spruce
division, from Portland, Ore, and
thereafter something was started.
There had always been less criticism
of the spruce production efforts than
of anything else that had been done,
largely because the expected con
sumption of the raw materil did nc.
develop. About 100000 feet of spruce
was the by.product of normal fir and
other lumber cutting in the northwest
each-month. The allies were getting
all of that from the open markets, and
it was simple matter for the Amer
lean Government to step in and take
it all 1t was also comparatively simple
to increase prices trifle, and double
the normal production.
But when 1t comes to running the
output up to the mark Mr.. Ryan Is
credited with setting, a task is pro
iected that is immense when compared
to even the inflated standards of
war work. 1t is because of the pecu.
liar qualities of Sitka spruce that it
sustains the stresses of high speed
airplanes better than any other sub
stance the world knows, and it is be.
cause of its peculiar distribution and
habit at that the United States is find
ing it difficult task to get enough of
1t. 1t had but.low-esteem as a CONNER
cial wood in the pro-war days, most
of it getting into the waste piles of
saw mill yards, though a little of the
best and thickest, specially prepared,
went into the sounding boards of
pianos. Queerly enough, Germany
was always big buyer of that pro,
ton of the product.
Now that the world needs spruce,
lot of Americans will have to buy
Liberty bonds and keep on doing il
indefinitely just because the Sitka
spruce has retiring disposition and
is finicky about the places where it
grows. 1t grows only when surrounded
by trees of different species, which
habit the lumberman is describing
when he says that from to 40 percent
of given timber stand is the best
that spruce shows. 1t likes the sea-
log from the Pacific ocean, and grows
to valuable size only in scattered
belts where the fog comes regularly.

AIRPLANE SPRUCE

John NJ. Ryan. financier and copper
magnate, has been saying nothing
ever since he took over direction of
aircraft production, but considerable
evidence has accumulated that points
towards definite accomplishment in
one direstion that military men say
it would be most dangerous to neg
lect.
That is the production of airplane
spruce.
War figures are all too large for most
people to digest, but lumberman say
that Mr. Ryan has demanded 15,OOO,-
600 feet a month from the Cascade
forests. and little things like the draft
ing 5000 men, the planning of logging
railroads, and the mobilization Of a
rather large existing industry for war
production, indicate that he intends

The Actor and Self-SaCrif.Ce
The Most Ungrateful of All Economies Is Economizirg
at the Actors Expense.

(eprned from Page of Thursday
You know in a general way that theaters and conse-
qhenty actors managers paywght and that great indus
try made of modern genius and energy called 1.-THE moving
picture, suffering because Of the war.
In England close to the theaters of all kinds and
the moving picture houses especially are crowded and have

to understand the idea of the citizen to be that is

the theater- going habit.
We say that stay away from theaers destroying their
prosperity dscouragng the men that supply the nation with
amusing inspiration and information is FALSE ECONOMY.
And FALSE ECONOMY it is, for many reasons.
In the first place. of the great assets in in
peace, is CHEERFULNESS.
The machine that wins the through fighting or
through industry is the human brain.
And what the brain requires the theater change

better fit for work next day.
The theater necessary part Of fe its prices are
adapted to all pockets, all classes.
And practice economy at the expense of the theater

What is more important such economy is not only
unwise it is extremely UNGRATEFUL Year in year out

For the money necessary to give happiness to children

The actor is of the nations hardest workers.

Lectures and Musical EbentS

Newman begins his annual series
OF traveltalSs at the BelascO Theater
this evening and tomorrow afternoon.
''Our National Parks" is the first of
the Eve wonder journeys TO be shown
here. One OF the striking and inter
esting features Of the national parKs
OF our country is that each one Of
them is quite different from all the
others; each has a marked person
atty OF it's own. The motion pic
lures and true color views in this
rare traveltalk will reveal scenes of
unequaled dignity and beauty which
have no counterpart elsewhere in the
world. There are more geysers OF
large size in Yellowstone than in all
{, rest of the world, and the Gram
Canyon is unequaled. Nothing can be
more magnificent or inspiring than Mt.
R@inier, the great summit of which is
negotiated by only hardy professional
mountaineers. Newman in 1917 I'M
dertook the task Of taking a motion
picture camera far above the snow
line OF a treacherOus glacier through
