Reported Eight Percent Be-
low Corresponding Pc
riod of Last Year

WASHINGTON, July %. (UP)
The commerce department last
night estimated income payments
to individuals during the first
half Of 1888 aggregated $50, $780,
600, 900, approximately eight per
cent below figures for the corre-
spending period last year.
Income payments during June
were II per rent less than for
June, 1887.
Some indication that the receS-
sion had been checked was seen
in the bureau Of foreign and do
meStic commences seasonally-ad"
iusted index Of income payments
which declined only 4 per cent
during June from the May level
of 1876.
The index, which takes 1929
levels as its basis, recorded re-
covery high Of 1876 last August.
The seasonally adjusted index
of employees compenSation-sal-
aried employees and wage-earners
declined from S2.2 in January
to 1872 in June following the
sharp drop from the recovery
peak of 90.l for August, 1897.
The department said the de-
cline in employees income appears
to be largely concentrated in the
commodity producing Industries.
Their compensation i'll the min
ing, manufacturing and construc-
ton Industries dropped 10 per
cent from January to June.
However, payrolls III the trade
and transportation industries dur
ing June were off only per cent
from January and per cent from

employees attached to the service
industries, including government,
was reduced only two per cent
during 1888 and was less than

A NKTEEM hgA


War without the glamour or
the glory Is graphically pre-
sented in the unusual French
film, Grand Illusion" which
was given its initial showing in
Washington yesterday at the Be-
lasco Theater.
It is a story Of a group Of
French soldiers interned in Ger.
man prison camps over period
Of several years, and their ef-
forts to escape.
While it reflects the view
point and cynicism of people
who have seen their country
trampled again and again under
the foot of the invader it is very
fair in its treatment of the
traditional French enemy.
FRIENDLY ENEMIES
The captured French captain,
De Boldieu, is treated with the
greatest courtesy and kindness
by his "host," Commander Won
Rauffenstein, as they are both
of the same ariStocratic caste.
The two, both cultured and tray
eled, have more in common than
the French officer and his fel-
low prisoners.
And when De Boldieu lies dy-
ing, shot while aiding the
others to escape, he holds no bit.
terneSs against his host.
In a touching deathIbed scene,
admirably acted by Erich Won
Stroheim and Pierre FreSnay,
the German commander apollo
gizes for his "gaucherie" and
bad aim in firing the fatal shot.
Won RauffenStein knows that
the war, regardless of the out
come. meant the extinction Of
his class.
THRILLING ACTON
The story is not all philoS.
ophizing and moralizing. It has
its thrilling moments in the des-
perate attempts to break out Of
the prison, and it has its humor
in the gay comradeShip Of the
Frenchmen.
For months they labor to dig
q tunnel that will carry them
outside the prison walls then
with only a few more days ardu-
GUS, back-beaking toll before
them they are all transferred to
another prison.
