question is agitating French histori4

is little of these questionings in the
practical military mind and it is be-

ancient forest will resemble lumber

There is a pang Of regret in artistic,

OF time have without exception OBJ
served the custom of serving imita-
ton food in pictures. The notable ex-
ception occurs in "The Widows
Might" new Paramount picture
starring Julian Eltinge. In this pic
ture an important scene occurs around
a dinner table while the characters
are eating. What to do was a prob
lem, for the scene was too important
to omit. The director, however, found
a pleasant and profitable way out of
the difficulty. This was to have the
scenes taken at just about dinner time
in the Maryland hotel at Pasadena,
where the company was staying, and
allow the entire company to enjoy the
meal with not cent nor mouthful
wasted, while the camera man stored
up the scene in his 'little old box"
"The Widows Might, which will be
shown at the Royal tonight, is the
story of young New Yorker who de-
cides to dabble in ranching and mar
rowly misses being robbed by a no
torious crook. How he succeeded in
foiling the designs of this gentleman
through the disguise of woman, how
the disguise gets him into a lot of
trouble with the girl he loves, but how
he at length wins out and saves both
his girl and the ranch, makes a story
of fun and adventure throughout.

Pefshing Displeased With De-

Promised Several Hundred Ma
chimes; Gets Mere Handful.

Washington, March 1S.-General
Pershing is understood to be far from
pleased with the results so far OBJ
tanned by the signal corps in its air
plane program.
There are virtually no American air
planes flying over our front in France,
protecting the Sammies from the OBJ
servation of boche filters. For our
protection, the expeditionary force de-
pends to a great extent on the French
flyers, altho a number of American
aviators have been in the air in French
machines.
General Pershing has been prom
ised several hundred machines by
April /, but thus far only an insig-
nificant "handfuP' has been delivered.
Apparently not many more will be
shipped abroad before the end of the
month. This information came from
an authoritative source at the war de-
partment today.
Many Probes Under Way.
AS a result of the delays by the sig
nal corps, that branch of the service
has succeeded the ordnance bureau as
an object of attack and investigation.
The aeroplane problem is being in
vestigated from several sources.
The president has a commission
headed by H Snowden Marshall
Chairman Howard E. Coffin of the air
craft production board is probing de-
lays; GulZon Borglum, sculptor, has
made preliminary probe. apparently
with Secretary Bakers sanction; and
besides the inspector generals depart
ment is also digging into the signal
corps.
And congress has been inclined to
be critical of the vast sums spent in
aeroplane construction, especially as
the results have been more closely
shielded by censorship and official Sc
work.
