(by the Associated Press) An
American in a mess outfit
brought down a German aviator
during the Franco o-American of
fensive south of Scissors by
shooting the enemy in the head
with a rifle bullet.
Commissary wagons were en-
route to site back of the lines
when the German swooped down
and attacked the wagon train
with machine gun. flying low.
The young soldier leaped from a
wagon as the enemy flier came
near and shot him. The machine
fell nearby.
A German lieutenant and
eighteen men who were captured
by the Americans were question
ed concerning the remainder of
the battalion. The officer re-
piled:
"Those eighteen are all that are
alive"
The lieutenant said the speed
of the Americans was the biggest
surprise of his army experience.
He said the Americans even out
classed the Germans when the
latter were attacking the Rus
slams, and added that he was glad
to be a prisoner.

time tonight.
The man has abused the wife
neglected. her, deserted her, and then
as the browning ignominy he at

What They Saw.

From Minneapolis Journal, April
30.-Two years ago a photoplay like
my Four Years in Germany" would
have been impossible. Producers
and directors would have thought it
necessary to have a melodramatic
story with the war atmosphere as
a background. No more striking
proof Of photoplay progress could be
shown than this film, which carries
no tale of romance, which is made
up of a series of incidents from AM
'bassador Gerard's story, which shows
the underlying causes Of the present
war and which is as highly dramatic
in it's progress of events as anything
yet shown on the screen.
This film will be seen at the Rex
next Monday and Tuesday, matinee
and night.
