PICTURES OF THE WORLD WAR

During the Civil war photography
was new art. Only one man was on

In an article in a recent number OF the
American Legion Weekly.
The very first ship that went over
carrying General Pershing also carried
a movie man. And from that time not

the height OF its operation 1t had oo
photographers. And for every photog'
rapher In the field we had three men
In the laboratory ready to push our
negatives through.
Although the photographs extant al
ford a remarkable history, one OF the
dlsappointments has been that even
the best Of the battle pictures 40 ho'
show tha real danger because most oi
the hard fighting was done at dawn
before the light was good enough
During the whole war there was never

fighting by the American troops Inc

this was never allowed by American
generals.

since he first started studying the
habits and mannerisms of spooks, five
years ago, he has been visited by 20

Bryson, who until recently was en-
ployed in the government service In Il

with the blanket statement that ghosts
do have bodily characteristics and,
contrary to popular belief, the hand
clasp of a spook is warm and not cold
