this week, even though he still feels
that movie ballyhoo is a lot easier
than farming.
He might get some argument on
that score from Frank LaFalce,
head of the local Warner publicity
staff, plus the Washington and New
York Warnerites who have been
laboring to stage the Sergeant
York" opening. Those boys have
been busy, since more than three
weeks ago, when John j. Payette,
Warner zone manager, discovered
the Earle might get the first show
ing outside New York of the picture.
One of these gala premieres is a
great show, but before it is done
with, those staging it are expecting
an invitation TO nervous break
down any minute. From the mo-
ment the opening was set, those
three weeks ago they haven't had
time for much else than Sergeant
York" First the boys here had TO
look at rough cut of the film. so
they'd know what they were selling.
Soon S. Charles Enfield. Warmers
director of publicity and advertising,
plus pair of henchmen. arrived
on the scene. After lengthy meet
ing they went away, leaving the
local crew laboring. This week they
showed up again, along with several
more henchmen. They found the
Tennessee State Society, the Sena-
tors and Representatives from that
State, and others contacted and all
running smoothly.
Then came arrangements for Mr..
York's arrival and greeting. The

SABOTEURS FORCED
TO NEW TRICKS

DUT because the police and pro-
- lection methods are better
now than they were in the last
war, the saboteur Of today has had
to invent new tricks And now
and then a man will come up
with a strange device that is dis-
bolical in its cunning.
Take the case Of the photograph
needle that crippled battleship.
Here was one that could hardly
have been detected but for the
wonder of the X-ray. In this case.
the steel photograph needle was
imbedded in the insulation Of an

From July. 1888. through June.
1889. there were ESQ cases. while
in the year following there were
1850 Investigations Of national de-
Tense matters. On one day recent
" there were over 1850 national
defense complaints dumped in the
G-men's laps.
In spite OF the increase in the
number Of defense matters which
the federal bureau of investiga-
tion has had 10 handle since the
outbreak Of the war in Europe.
Director J. Edgar Hoover Is su-
thority for the statement that,
with the exception Of the recent
sabotagilg Of their merchant YES
sells in U. S. ports by sailors
OF interned German and Italian
ships. there have been revealed no
organized acts of sabotage by
foreign agents within the United
States
This does not mean that there
has been no sabotage in American
plants since the war began, and it
is not a fact that should lull any
one into a false sense of security.
The saboteur and the spy are still
on the job and 1t has become in
cressingly important for law en-
forcement officers and the gen
eral public TO keep the work OF
the organized wreckers under con-
