sALUTEs PHOTO OF PREMIER
Instructive Action of Officer Reveals
Respect of French for
M. CIemenceau.

Paris.--Little unconscious acts often
reveal the real measure of the popu-
larity of a great leader.
In the photographers showcase not
far from the fashionable Pare Mon
ceau there is among other pictures an
excellent almost life-size head of M.
Clemenceau. A young French officer
who was passing the shop the other
day glanced casually at the showcase
Perceiving the picture of his chief he
instinctively raised his hand to a sa-
lutte and passed on unaware that his
spontaneous tribute had been observed.
In the early days Of the long-range
gun bombardment of Paris, says the
Matin, it was stated that the shells
were made from a new type of steel
salloyed suit.h pnnnd dunn. which gave il
exceptional properties. Bg analysis
has shown that the shells are made Of.
ordinary nickel and chrome steel, such
as is in current use for making guns
both in France and Germany and
whose properties are well known.

THAT BOLO KNIFE
SURE CAME HANDY

meant for fighting save at the last
gasp. But the 14-inch bolo knife is
essentially weapon. 1t is issued to
six per cent of our infantry forces
not regularly to every seventeenth
man, but as occasion may require or
the immediate commanding officer may
direct. Henry Johnson was given his
because he was assigned to particular
ly dangerous duty in listening post.
Others may be equipped with bolo
knives-for instance, as members OF
a special detachment to accompany
raiding forces within the enemy lines.
Their work must be quick, silent and
thorough. From Luneville to Cantigny
the Germans have found it so.
The small arms division of the Unit
ed States ordnance department be-
lieves that the bolo knife has points of
superiority over any knife in use on
the European battlefield, else it would
not have been adopted for our use.

Altman, king OF all rattlesnake catch

"My idea would be to catch them

are so sharp that unless the warning Isl
given with the rattles q person would

for the FIRST four days OF the week

they are pictured In the leading roles.
"The Millionaire Pirate" is a pic
ture that utilities somewhat the same
device as was employed in The Road

stage. except that the process is re-
versed. The early scenes reveal the
innate cruelty OF a buccaneer who
makes his rivals in leadership and in
love walk the plank. The later
scenes are modern and disclose the
present day activities of the de-
scendants Of the characters who peo-
pied the earlier episodes.
The dramatic possibilities OF such a
theme are obvious. as IL the Opportu'

great beauty and highly developed
