When the United states war films,

Academy Monday and Tuesday and

spectators to watch very closely for

be seen in all the pictures where large
bodies of Uncle Sans famous liberty

There is scarcely hamlet of any
size throughout the whole of. America
but has sent its quota of gallant men
TO join the colors; consequently, as
the pictures deal largely with the
preparations of our own boys I'm their

there IS every possibility that those

When For the Freedom of the

ever made with the world war as a
background was filmed it was necee-
sary TO dig on short notice, a trench
system approximating that OF the en-
tente allies on the Western front.
To have dug the trenches by hand
would have taken many days. so the
producers of the picture called into
service a newly improved American
machine originally used for digging
irrigation bitches in the Western
states, With 1t the trenches were
gouged out OF the face of the earth in

The sensational exploitation of the

formed great services for the father

flights at the front. Several pigeons
are shown painted in camoufage col

gas attacks are also exhibited.
Many stories of the heroic deeds of
these birds of war are told by the
men in charge of the exhibition Sew
eral cases in which pigeons delivered
their messages after being hit with
shrapnel. 1t is said that the percent
age of casualties among the birds is
very low, as they very quickly get to

to avoid it. The older birds, it is as

Paying for the Privilege to Fight
for Uncle Sam; That's What Many
Of our Soldiers are Doing Today

Nearly all our fighting men are saw
ing money. That is the latest word
from France. Many Of them are 1pay-
ing for the privilege Of fighting for
Uncle Sam by buying liberty bonds
and saving war stamps enough to
make the folks at home who aren't
fighting ashamed of themselves. Al
most all American soldiers send mon
ey home on payday.
A. E. Hungerford, one of the Y. M.
G. A. men at the front who is in a
good position to know their finances,
writes: ''The American soldier is the
thriftiest American alive. 4 have lib
erty bonds, war savings stamps, mill
tary insurance, and have allotted fif-
teen dollars a month to the folks back
home, said an artillery man who was
in the hut last evening. There are
thousands of Uncle Sans soldiers in
France who can truthfully say the
same thing.
81 want to send some money home,
is heard constantly by the Y. M. c. A..
worker in France. The 'Y' has pur-
posely made it easy for the soldiers
to send money home. All he has to
do is to leave his money with the man

in the hut, get a receipt for it, and
indicate the name and address Of the
person to whom he desires the money
ssnt The n a. C. has arrange
ments with banking institutions which
make possible the rapid and inexpen-
|sive transfer of any amount of money
to any bank or person in the States.
"Our soldiers are thinking straight
about money matters. They are not
misers, by any means, and they are
willing to spend a small amount on
things that go to make life more en-
joyable, but the chief thought is to
insure their economic independence
when the war is over and they return
to civilian life.
"The average sale to the soldiers
who come into our Y. M. G. A. center,
and they are artillery men, engineers
and dough-boys, is almost exactly
franc day, thirty francs, or about six
dollars, a month. But the soldiers
could gamble, and they could, at
times, spend money even more foolish
ly. They just don't do it. The per-
centage that could be accused of such
an unwise expenditure of money is
negligible, much smaller than in civil
ian life.
