Pamphlets Tell French People of
Americas Ideals and
Promises.
HAVING BENEFICIAL EFFECT
Literature Goes Directly to Homes
and a Tremendous Influence for
Good Is Thus Being Exerted-
Distributed in Schools.
BY &. A. BACHELOR.

Paris.-America' ideals, Americas
past attainments and Americas defin
tie promises for the successful prose
rution of the war are being present.
ed to the French people in trench
ant, convincing manner through the
medium of pamphlets prepared by the
educational bureau of the American
Y. NJ. c. A.
Through the cooperation of the de-
partment of public instruction of
France, 1t has been possible to dis
.ribute 10000 of these pamphlets In
the schools. A large percentage of
the literature so distributed has been
taken directly into the homes and a
tremendous influence for good is thus
being eXerted.
The Y. NJ. C. A. became convinced
some time ago that general distri-
ing things and aims American would
be greatly appreciated not only by
the French people, but would also do
much to promote confidence and I'M
Outstanding between the two nations.
The French are always eager to
hear about the United States and
never tire of asking questions about
their great ally country. Much in
formation of this kind of course had
been spread by individuals but. I'M
fortunately, all Of the Americans in
France have not a clear and accurate
conception of their own national
Ideals nor even a very wide variety
of exact information regarding their
own land.
Consequently ii was decided that
pamphlets giving much information in
small compass would serve an ex-
cellent purpose. Three of these
pamphlets were prepared.

One. for the higher grades In the
schools or for the colleges, is by DIR.
John Erskine. formerly of Columbia
university, head of the Y. NJ. c. A.
educational department. Its title is:
THE Ideals for Which America
Stands" 1t deals mainly with the
causes that impelled the United
States to enter the war. The point
that America is fighting for world lib
erty and not for anv selfish ends is
emphasized.
The second folder, 1.-THE Help
Brought by America to the Allies" is
by Carl Holiday, professor of Amer

.can literature at the University OF
Toledo, and q member Of the educa-
tional department of the Y. M. c. A..
Professor Holiday gives facts and
figures to show how much the United
States has done to help the allies both
since she herself entered the war and
before that time. The pamphlet also
outlines the program that the Amer
lean government has pledged itself to
carry out in the way of furnishing
men and food. to carry on the war to
victory. This folder is for the middle
grades in the schools.
p. A. F. Appelboom of the faculty
Of the University Of Kansas, another
member of the Red Triangle educa-
1iOnal department, is the author of
the third pamphlet. written in simple
language for the pupils Of the primary
grades. Mr.. Appelboom presents ma
.erial similar to that used by his con-
freres.
All three OF the little folders have
the merit Of being plain. readily I'M
jerstood statements of facts. No eff
fort Is made to launch into lofty lit
erary flights. The writers have tried
to give definite information and trust
TO the readers to form the proper
therefrom.

RATDING PLANES

! LondOn.--The progressive effective
ness of the allies. both in the construc-
ton Of airplanes and in the air fight
ing, has never before been more clear
ly proved than In the recent operations
on the western front. In last months
offensive the marrying Of German cav
airy, marching infantry and transport
by low-fying airplanes was the first
example Of really large scale coun-
ter-offensive from the air.
From a r. A. F. officer Of long ex-
perience Ii was learned that II Is now
a deliberate method of air fighting not
conducted on the tip and run principle
of one swooping dive to earth, bringing
the airplane into close rifle range only
at the lowest point Of the dive. but by
machines which fly audaciously low
until their ammunition Is exhausted. so
low that pilots have identified the
regimental insignia Of the troops at
tackled, so low that the airplane wheels
have been known to skim the earth.
Transport Columns Broken Up.
The object of these low-fying pilots
has bee to disorganize the Germans
by a sue den burst of fire at close range.
and very successfully they have done
1t, especially when breaking up trans
port columns and causing stampedes
of frightened horses. But the method
has developed until now British air

to such purpose that the infantry adj

1t Is routine work for the low-fiying
airplane to interrupt German working
parties far behind the lines with ma
chine gun fire. and when one remem-
bers that the same parties are likely to
be bombed I'm their billets from the air
by night, their heart for work may be
imagined. for both day and night the
bombing OF railways, airdromes. camps
and dumps goes on.
And this Is almost by the way. The
soldier comes before supply. and II Is
the soldier who Is the objective OF the
low-fylng airplane. the soldier who
suffers in person and morale. by the
ceaseless bombing of billets. 1t Is the
aggressive air war of the entente which
steadily and accumulatively depreci-
ates the morale of the German soldier,

Sprays Them With Bullets.
Here is Just one little incident told
by Lieut.. l.. Walmsley OF the X. A. r..
which may serve by way Of illustra-
ton:
The Germans were reported to ba
concentrating at the village OF \. A
little chaser was run out, and the pilot
ordered to confirm the report
Ten minutes flying brings him to
the trench lines, and :he deafening
noise Of battle browns even the sound
of the engine.
The Germans are attacking and a
long, ragged. gray line Of piled up
corpses. which the airman at first mis-
takes for sandbags, shows the terrible
price they are paying.
But sheltering behind this CHASTITY
rampant of human flesh are living
Huns, and the pilot dives down until
he Is only 80 feet above them. Then.
as he skins over the line. he opens fire
with both guns, pouring out hail Of
death that soon visibly thickens the in
animate gray masses.
But there Is even more important
work at hand The village of X Is
quickly reached. The market square
Is crowded with artillery and ammu-
milton carts. Diving to a height of less
than 500 feet, the airman drops
bomb, and turns, just In time to avoid
the force of the concussion caused by
the tremendous explosion that fol-
lows. A direct hit has been made on
the ammunition cart. and the havoc
wrought In that market square battles
description.
The roads leading backward from
the village are now carefully recon-
noltered. There Is no sign OF life
until large wood Is reached. Here a
squadron OF Uhlans Is found. A sec
ond bomb Is landed right In the midst
OF them. and in few seconds the adj
joining fields are brown with STAN
peding horses.
