Germany looks much the same as
france from up above" replied Lieut.
Eddie Rickenbacker, American ace 10
a question.
aWe get to look at 1t quite often,
naturally. OF course we go down low
very often. Once In awhile the excuse
oEsers itself for making a close inspec-
lion of Germany from above. When
we get a Heinie on the run and can
follow him home we sometimes drive
him down near the tree tops II the
Arches are not too busy.
"Once In q while we take a chance
and strafe the German trenches from
ahove. / once got down so low after
an attack that l could see the men
very clearly and could get a target
TO shoot at. But it's only on rare oc-
casions that we ever get close TO Ger
many, and most of our views are from
high up.
Its surprising how much ike
France Germany does look. your
imagination pictures something diner-
ent as soon as you cross the lines. But
there are<the same rolling plains ana
Tilis and woods and villages. Civilian
activity that can be seen from high
attitudes Is less, I think. than on our
side. though that may be because we
fy lower when on the home side.
1--WE can see autos n trains ana
strings OF wagons 10Y and then on
the roads. The German trenches are
more In evidence than ours. and they
stretch back for miles behind the
lines. Right UP TO them though, the
Germans are ~cultivating the soil. and
their farms are easily spotted. The
railroads over there look about the
same as those on this side of the line.
In several places the lines of this SIDE
run up 10 No Mans Land and then
ere smashed up for a ways, but con-
tinue from the Germans side OF the
line. II seems wrong that there should
be the connection.
mo Mans Land usually looks very
much plowed up. We are glad to see
that. though probably we are-the only
ones who are. 1t gives as a definite
assurance OF whore home Is. often
you are in doubt and IL you happen
to cross the lines whore No Mans

sure OF your position. Some OF the

Film, Gives the Very Latest News of What Boys Are Doing in
 France

The committee on public informa- ton. division of films of which Charles S. Hart is director, will offer al the Trianon theatre all next week starting Monday. the first official United States war film entitled Per shing's Crusaders" in eight reels. This feature has been photographed by the United signal corps and navy photog- raphers and cameramen of the French general staff.
 It shows how every man. woman and child is helping Uncle Sam, with in teresting scenes showing the progress being made in shipbuilding. airplane construction and gun and ammunition making, as well as interesting phases of cantonment training.
 The big feature of this picture. how ever is that portion which, following the flag to France, gives the very lat est news of what the boys are doing in the front line trenches and all over France. There will also be shown in this film number of stirring scenes which have been taken for the govern ments of France and England. cover ing phases of American activities abroad As all of the war pictures now being shown are controlled by this committee, the film will be the first to show the true conditions now pre- vailing where Americans are on the fighting line. There will be daily matinees and popular war time prices will prevail
