and the German people. General Wood
said. He added that America should pay
more attention to the Italian situation
and suggested that Americans of Italian
origin be sent to Italy to combat the Ger
man propaganda, which has been active

Associated Press dispatches from the
American front telling OF the freedom
with which German airplanes flew over
the American lines owing to the lack of
American airplanes with which to COM
bat them were confirmed by General
Wood. The French on both sides of the
American sector have been protecting the
American front against the enemy air
raids, but at times they are too busy
elsewhere to afford adequate protection,
with the results that the German air
planes have absolute freedom At times,
he said, the Germans flew so low that the
Americans were able to fire at them with
revolvers.

the necessity for activity In America in

that more ships are absolutely essential

taking over men, but in transporting sup

THE general had some criticisms to
make and many IDEAS" said Senator

He felt that the American industrial
programme should be pushed and not
slackened in the least He thought, also,
that more raw materials might be sent
abroad to be manufactured in France and
that, l understand. is the policy OF the
war department, to increase shipment of
raw articles for French manufacture.

said, according to Senator Chamberlain,
should be used mostly in bombing ma
chimes.

been tried and proven, should be used In
the combat planes" said Senator Cham

The electric resistance of the metal

The general was before the comnittee
for three hours and frankly discussed
the situation in Europe and at home.
Stating that the French are disap-
pointed in the size of the American
army thus far sent to Europe, accord
ing to committee members, he recon-
mended immediate steps to increase
both the American expeditionary forces
and the army in training in this coun-
try Chairman Chamberlain said Cen
eral Wood recommended that an army
of 100000 men be maintained in
France at the earliest possible moment
and 100000 more in training at home
Another committee member placed
General Woods recommendations at
100000, one-half in France as soon
as they can be sent there. In this con-
nection General Wood also recommend
ed compulsory universal military train
ing.
GIVES REASONS
In urging that the American war
programme of men and ships and mu-
nitions be speeded up and increased,
General Wood said no American artil-
lery or airplanes are yet available to
General Fershings- men, and that, al
though there are 1000 American avia-
tors they are without planes. Use of
Liberty motors in bombing instead of
fighting machines also was recon-
mended by General Wood.

While declaring that General Per-

that they are without American artil-
lery or airplanes.
PRAISE TO AMERICANS
Training of the American forces, the
general said, has been rapidly accom-
plished and supplies are plentiful.
In urging the necessity for more
ships, General Wood criticized present
shipping arrangement and said he had
suggested to the war department that
fast and slow ships be segregated in
the conveys, so that fast ships will not
be held back by the slower vessels.

William Farnum in '"The Rainbow Trail''. The long looked for sequel to Riders of the Purple Sage" is the attraction at Fox's tonight. Riders of the Purple Sage" was witnessed by many thousands when presented at F'oX's in September and '"The Rainbow Trail" if anything, is even better than that wonderful drama. It is a typical Farnum production with all the thrills and punch that this sterling master of screen craft can inject into it. The fast riding, particularly stands out, and we see MT. Farnum enacting daredevil stunts on the backs of some of CalifOrnias fastest mounts. MT. Farnum again plays 'Lassiter" the avenger of the Utah border. In fact he plays two roles in '"The Rainbow Trail" that Of Lassiter and Shefford. Needless to say, this sterling actor portrays his two roles in a manner that cannot be duplicated by any other player.
 Tn addition, Fox's offers an excellent vaudeville bill of four acts. Percile, the magician and his company in an entertaining assortment of parlor magic; Seabury and Price in a sing ing and crayon sketching novelty; Monarco, the monologist. and '"The Society Girls,' a big musical comedy, with pretty girls, a funny Irish come dian and an unrivalled array of cos tuning Some of the creations worn by the chorus ladies in "The Society Girls" would do credit to a Broadway show With Mr. Farnum and the above array of vaudeville talent, Fox's
