BELGIAN RESISTANCE.

The battling and irresistible moral
resistance Of the Belgian people is men
toned frequently in Brand Whitlock's
story Of German oppression now running
in Everybody's, One instance, men
toned in the August instalment, is the
phenomenon that occurred whenever the
Germans ordered down the Belgian flag.
Everywhere a Belgian flag came down"
says Mr.. Whitlock, "an American flag
went up. 1t was beautiful tribute TO
our ideals, and pretty compliment be-
sides, though not without its enbar-
easements and its dangers even, for while
the Germans said nothing, they did not
altogether like it and when their quick
intuition apprehended this, the Belgiahs
displayed American flags everywhere,
more and more, until Brussels, looked as
though it had been decorated for the
Fourth of July. lie Jeune, the barber,
said to me one day, speaking his French
slowly with the sayory Brussels accent /:
i must get me an American flag 'Why2'
! asked. TO put in my window, he re-
piled. And why do you wish TO put the
American flag in your window? oh, he
said, to rile the Germans Everywhere
the shopkeepers contrived TO replace the
flags they were forbidden to display. In
one shop / saw three spools of thread, one
black, one yellow and one red, set in row
in the window"

T|LDEN AND RICHARDS
STAR At LONGWOOD NETS
Philadelphia Expert and Brooklyn
Schoolboy Beat Massachu-
setts Doubles Champions.

Boston, Aug. 13.--Wiliam T. Tilden.
I'd, national clay court champion, ana
Vincent Richards, nation al boy champion,
provided the feature of the opening. day
of play in the annual national doubles lawn
tennis championship tournament yester-
day afternoon, on the turf courts oil the
Long wood Cricket Club. Playing against
Harry G. johnson and Irving G. Wright,
of Boston, who won this tournament last
year, Tilden and his partner won at
6-3, rs, 6-2 and the brilliance of their
play has caused many critics TO rate them
ns strong contenders for the championship
on Saturday.
Tiden, who has been playing the garne
of his career this season, fairly cxceiIed
all his previous efforts this afternoon. lie
was all over the court, smashing, volleying,
driving hard and deep, and the l0-year-
old Richards backed him up beautifniiy
in almost every instance. Two or three
times. when the rallies became furious,
Tiden forsook his own court for the mo-
ment to step in front Of Richards and take
the ball. generally finishing the point by
tremendous smashes Wright and john
son tried in vain to force the opposing pair
back by lobbying, but 1llden was not To
be passed, and was constant danger To
the Boston team at the net.
Ichiya Kamagau, the japanese star,
paired with Harold Tay lor, of Brooklyn,
the national junior champion, had little
trouble in defeating G. W. Wightman, OF
Boston, and Charles Shaw, OF Providence,
in straight sets.
Theodore Roosevelt Pell and Nathaniel
w. Niles were another pair of favorltes
who survived the opening day of play.
They eliminated J. A. Cousens and +.
first round. and were both In excellent
form. Niles was the stcadier and the
moro resourceful, showing up strongly IN
all departments, while Pell scored many
clean placement aces by ripping stinglng
backhand shots across deep court as the
opposing pair started for the net posi-
ton.

u. S. Practically Gone Into the
Movie Business and Will
Show World on Screens.

Mr.. Herbert Hoagland and Mr.. l.. c.
Wheeler, of the Committee of Public
Information of the United States Govern
ment, are now in London. They have
been sent to this country by the Cine
matograph Department described otii-
cially as the Division of Finn of the
Government, and they are buslly engaged
in developing plans TO extend the work
of that department In the United King
dom and the British Empire, and also
throughout Europe, including neutral,
Allied, and enemy countries.
Mr.. Wheeler stated in conversation
that when America entered the war il
was recongized almost instantly by the
political leaders of the nation that the
moving picture was destined to play o
tremendously important part in the
great task OF bringing the war to victory,
1--WE are out TO spread the truth about
this world-war, he declared, mot only
among our own people, but also in every
corner of the civilized world. We propose
to girdle the globe with moving pictures
that will show why Germany must be
beaten, why America came into the war
and what she is doing at home and abroad
to help to win it." Mr.. Wheeler went on
TO say that the American Government
had practically gone into the moving
picture business for propaganda purposes
on q worldwide scale, and In this under
taking II had ct every stage had the full
est and most enthusiastic support of
practically every section Of the industry
in the United States.
The first American official feature
film TO be produced in France was shown
at the Gaumont Palace in Paris a fort
night ago, and the large company which
witnessed it included the British and
American Ambassadors, Marshal Jof1re,
and General Bliss, of the United States
Army The film, which is about 4 200 #.

"BL|MPS," WORST FOES
Of KA|SER'S U-BOATS
Little Submarine Scouts Always
on Watch to Bag Boche
Sea Pirates.

An American Balloon Base In England,
July 3O.-The ''Blimp' is the nickname
which the American pilots have given TO
the little dirigible aIrships which are
technically termed IS. S. or Submarine
scouts.
The gas-bag of the blimp is about 80
feet long and 80 feet in diameter. The
lower structure is virtually that of q
scouting airplane of medium power, 30
that the whole effect is that of sort of q
cross between airplane and balloon. The
crew is usually one pilot and an observer,
and the speed is about 40 miles an hour.
The cargo is a load Of bombs which
work like destroyer's depth charges, ex-
ploding by waterpressure at q depth OF
20 to so feet. The carnage contains
steering gear, bomb levers, wireless ap-
paratus, camera and observation instru
ments.
Hundreds of blimpe are constantly on
duty around the coasts of France and Eng
land American pilots and observers are
Just beginning TO take up this work. 1t
Is the greatest U-boat destroyer in exist
ence, if the men who work the blimps are
to be believed. One enthusiastic American
pilot who had been dropping bombs up
and down the Irish sda for a month re-
marked te The Associated Press CORE
spondent, ''The blimp is not only one of
the ways of destroying Uboats; it is the
way"
The advantage that the blimp has over
the seaplane is that it can stand still in the
air If U-boat dives down and lies out of
sight on the bottom, the bliTnp sits over
it until it decides TO move on or come to
the surface. II the submarines does not
move, the blinp is just as well content
for in the meantime the wireless has been
at work, and trawlers are coming up In the
course of an hour or two with the neces-
sary equipment to smoke Mister Sub
marine out of his hole
Ii the submarine rises before naval
help arrives, the blimp tackles it alone
with bombs. If the submarine tries to
move away along the bottom of the sea,
the blunp follows its shadow until it
comes, sooner or later, 70 a shallow spot
where it can be effectively dealt with
Subject to the blInp's fuel supply and
its duration power" In the air, there is
little chance of escape for U-boat, once
it has been sighted by one of these handy
little dirigibles. The sighting or spotting
of the U-boats is the great difficulty, for
the seas around England are large places
and the range of the individual blimp Is
comparatively small.
A larger type Of blimp Is now being
used, known technically as the 9. p. or
coast patrol. 1t carries larger crew and
a greater supply of fuel and is used for
detecting mine-fields as well as subma-
Hnes.
