WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. February 19.-A German patrol
ready to ambush an American patrol
was discovered early this morning by
a sentry who gave the alarm by a
rife shot; then the American machine
guns riddled the enemy. The Germans
fled. carrying their casualties with
them but leaving telltale red stains on
the ground.
The sentry saw two Germans near
the parapet and moved to a listening
post for a better view. He then chal-
lenged. A shot in his direction was
the reply. The sentry fired at the en-
emy and heard a German shout as the
bullet probably hit it's mark. Germans
then appeared to grow out of the
ground all around and started throw
ing grenades in the direction of the
American trenches. Machine guns and
rifles went into action from another
section of the trench. sending hail of
5uliers into tho enemy, who retired
on the run.
There were no casualties among the
Americans. 1t is thought possible that
tnlS was tne Same pdlioi ~hiSh See
a successful ambuscade last week.
Whether it was or not. the American
forces feel that they have at least ex-
acted partial reparation.
The American artillery broke many
shells over the heads of a large German
group in a trench, scattering the SOL
diers and undoubtedly hitting some OF
them. Gas shells in considerable num-
bers were sent against the American
batteries last night, but no damage was

Methods Of Defending Coast.
There are many methods Of defend
ing our coast line. and possibly our
m ethods have been changed from time
to time. But there are two main meth
DDS which had been advocated before
learn later on whether one or the other
has been used by U.S.
In the first method the main defense
is upon the actual beach. where every
preparation is made to receive the enc
my and oppose him. In the second
method the coast line Is only watched,
and the defense relies upon the rapid
arrival of reserves.
In the first method the enemy will
be more vigorously received on land
ing. but this method. which is really q
new application of the Gordon system,
has the defect of leaving troops weak
everywhere and liable to be driven in
by an attack provided with a suitable
covering of the force in the form of
warships using smoke screens to con-
ceal their movements.
In the second method the coast is
navy Supports are suitably placed to
arrive within a few hours. CycliSt
mounted troops and mechanical trac-
tion for guns all come into play. In
the rear are reserves at the railway
functions with trains prepared for them,
and this method has the advantage Of
enabling the troops to be kept assem-
bled for training and to reach a higher
standard of field efficiency.

NeI,on Has Eeur eood ones

In the Nelson's layout today are two
comedies. a Grant. police reportr4
story and an o. Henry. The latter IS
IN two reels and is called The Hiding
OF Black Bill" 1t is a western story
ending with a surprise climax.
Two tramps are sitting in the shade
of the station at some. remote Western
tank town, waiting for the next
freight to come along. To pass the
time one of them is recounting the
tale OF the hiding Of Black Bill. a no.
toriouS bandit. upon whose head was
a reward OF $1,000. The finn fades
into what he is saying and We see
how the story teller stumbled onto the
ranch owned by quiet little man,
living absolutely alone and herdinS an
enormous amount of sheep. Both for
the sake OF company and help the
rancher hires the tramp.
For some reason the tramp suspects
this peculiar man OF being Black
Bill, the bandit, and when the sheriff
and his posse pass that way in search
Of the fugitive from justice he tells
them Of his suspicion, but only after
the sheriff has paid him 500 for the
information The tramp ''borrows" a
team from the ranch and makes
getaway, while the posse IS Inc the
ranch house. Here the picture fades
back to the two tramps and shows
that the listener is rather skeptical re-
garding the truth Of the story. To
prove his veracity the tramp who re-
counted the story tells the other that
he is Black Bill himself. Just then
the freight comes along and the two
swing aboard.
ALI OF the o. Henry adaptations will
fit on any program and The Hiding

Exciting Scenes in Dixie Play


The theme of "For France" SEIZED
uled at the Dixie, is based on the as
sertion that Every man has two
Countries; his own and France" The
hero is a young lieutenant from West
Point who, when the war broke out,
was studying art in Paris and losing
his heart to q pretty jeunne file who
lives with her mother IN the environs
Of Paris. At the call to arms he en-
lists as an aviator IN the French Army
and, by fortunate accident flies over
the farmhouse OF his beloved Just as
a horde OF vicious Germans have en-
tered the house. The remainder Of
the action is mainly series Of skirm-
ishes In which the hero routs an en-
tire regiment OF Germans single-hand-
ed with the aid OF one machine gun.
Edward Earle made an exceedingly
good-looking and energetic young avi-
ator, who made the scenes seem con-
vincfng through the sheer force Of his
vigorous and sympathetic personality.
Betty Howe was pretty as the French
heroine though she seemed inclined
to doze through her most intense
scenes. Mary Maurice made q touch
ing picture as the aged old French
mother, and the remainder Of the cast
was Satisfactory.
A striking feature OF the film Is the
background Of little French farm
and a series Of narrow escapes
through which the aviator in his ma
chine lodges a regiment OF Germans.
