Punches and Thrills
Feature "The Great
Air Robbery"

THE Great Air Robbery the
much heralded Universal feature,
with Lieutenant o. l.. Locklear as
the star, was shown here for the first
time at the Augusta Opera house
yesterday. and more than made good
the promises of the producers.
Those who came for thrills found
the production fairly alive with
scenes and situations that stopped
ones breath. In addition. the plot
was unique, original and interesting
in every detail. Never before have
such remarkable pictures been made
in mid air-they actually were pho
tographed from camera bearing
aeroplanes which lowered near the
planes participating in the story.
Lieutenant Loclllear is the U. S.
aviation officer who startled the
world with his feat of jumping from
one plane to another thousands of
feet up in the air. Many aircraft
are used in the picture. BY day and
by night, Illuminated by search
lights, they disport themselves in
mid-air maneuvers to add color and
atmosphere to the story.
In the play the lieutenant appears
as pilot in the service Of the U. s.
mail. and one Of the situations in
wolves the capture by him of q band
of air pirates who plot to rob the
registered mail on it's transcontinen-
tai flight. Allan Forrest is excellent
as his pal and fellow pilot: France
LA Ellington is prettier than ever
and just as charming in the role Of
the sweetheart; Ray Ripley gives a
splendid portrayal of the chief of the
air pirate squadron, and Carmen
Phillips is excellent in the heavy role.
Great credit is due to Jacques
Jaccard, who wrote and directed the
play, and to the cameramen risked
their lives to take close ups above
the clouds.-Adv.

WOMEN CALLED
PLANT TREES

Through the National Woman'S As
ISOLATION of Commerce. which has its
headquarters in Chicago. the American
Forestry Association Of Washington to-
day started a campaign for tree plant
ing and conservation OF paper with the
various business women's organizations
all over the United States. The plan Of
cooperation has been approved by
Miss Florence King. the president of
the National Woman's Association of
Commerce.. The Business NOman's
Club of Pensacola, of which Viva. Her
rinIan is an officer is the cooperating
organization here. 4 letter of congrat-
ulation of the fine work done from
Charles Lathrop Pack, president OF the
American Foresty Association follows
''Women's clubs are quick to see the
value of city beautiful plans to any
community. Tree planting is the big
part in these plans for not only are
trees the means Of Identification but
they give each individual citizen an in
innate part in helping make his town a
better place in which to live.
Tree planting leads to an interest
in trees Nhen this interest is awak-
cned the economic value OF trees is
more easily understood. The need of
a national forest policy in this coun-
try is one of our greatest reconstruc-
ton problems.
Glossy allied TO this is the print
paper and the pulp wood situation. Any
editor is Well acquainted with. that
problem and will be glad to join you
i'm this campaign Of education. Your
organization can take the lead in cam
paign for paper conservation and for
tree planting. The American Forestry
Association will be glad to send its tree
ulanting information and tree day pre-
gram to any one who will write for it.
Get your schools interested. Plant
trees. Our forests are being used or
destroyed by fire much faster than
they are being replenished. y great
work is before SoG."

GREAT BRITAIN
war COST HIGH

London.-Great Britain's adverse
trade balance for the year amounted
to 66s.ooo.o00 pounds. Against this
will apply Britain's invisible ex-
ports" which have been estimated by
the Board of Trade at 100000, 900
pounds for freight charges, $4,000. 600
pounds in interest and foreign invest
ments, and 10000, 600 in insurance
charges, bank charges, commissions.
etc. These would total $4,000 900
leaving an adverse balance of 149, 000,-
900. as compared with the pre-war
favorable balance of $4,000, 900.
A considerable reduction of the ex-
cess Of imports over exports is expect
ed IN 1920 for two reasons in partic-
ular, says the American Chamber of
Commerce IN London. First, the i'm
ports in the early months of 1919 are
stated to have consisted largely OF
balances of deliveries OF war materials
which, of course, will not recur in
year of Restocking for British manu-
facturers. In 1920, therefore. the
American Chamber says, Britain
should be able to save accordingly
on imports Of raw materials while the
exports of finished goods should be
increased.
Despite the fact that Britain's 1919
imports were more than twice the
1913 imports in value the American
Chamber points out that they were
less than four fifths the 1913 imports
in quantity. The average cost Of
1913 imports figures out at about IA
pounds a ton; in 1919 it was about
Al pounds a ton. Great Britain is still
importing less than her pre-war
quantities.
A review Of the monthly totals
shows an almost unbrollen rise in the
export of British goods. eliminating
in a yearly total of practically 793,-
oOo, 900. OF this 100000 pounds. or
almost 80 percent. were manufacture
ed articles a tribute to the degree to
which British production is under way
despite the crippling difficulties of
Industrial disputes since the armis-
tice.
According to the American Cham
Der. prospects for the coming year,
both for export and re-export, are
unusually promising.

EXPEDITION
PLANS USE AIR PLANE

Melbourne, Australia.-An airplane
will be Of little service in attempting
to reach the South Pole, in the opin-
ion of DR.. Griffith Taylor. of the
Austrian Meteorological Bureau, who
was formerly an Antarctic explorer.
DR.. Taylor said he believed that the
expedition TO the South Pole to be
conducted next summer by DR.. J. L.
Cope would find it difficult to reach
the South Pole by the air route. He
said:
Hurricanes blow for weeks in the
Antarctic and can spring up in half
an hour from nothing to SO miles an
hour. 1 do not think it possible that
an airplane can rise above a blizzard.
1t can not stay up indefinitely and it
can not descend"
DIR. Taylor is skeptical as to the
mineral wealth of the Antarctic, for
which DR.. Cope's expedition is special
~ to explore. Speaking from his own
experience, he does not think there is
anything Of economic value on the
coast of the Antarctic continent; and,
although coal is TO be found inland, the
extent of the deposits. he says, is I'M
certain and it is improbable on &C
count of its remoteness that it can be
mined within the next so years.
