AMERICAN TRAINING
IN EUROPE IS URGED
British Officers Point to Rapid
Changes in Methods of
Warfare.
PSYCHOLOGY IS IMPORTANT
Machine Guns Now Used In Indi
rect Firing, Especially to Pre
vent Night Use of Roads
Back of Enemy's Lines.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, June 8. Use of the machine
crun as a weapon for offensive opera
tions and for Indirect fire by elevating
' the run so that the bullets will fall
Into the trenches of the enemy Is one
of the recent developments of warfare,
which convinces the British army that
the American expeditionary force
should be trained within sound of the
guns at the front.
This change in the method of using
the machine gun has been brought
about within a year. It shows, says
the British officers, the rapidity with
which methods of fighting are being
altered, and that if capable officers were
to be sent to the front from America
the systems they learned might be out
of date before the troops they were to
reach arrived in France. Less than a
yar ago the machine gun was regarded
primarily as a weapon of direct fire;
' that is, for mowing down an advanc
ing enemy. It was thus chiefly a de
fensive method, and its usefulness was
limited to the rather rare periods when
the enemy was actually attempting to
attack. But today the machine gun,
though retaining its importance in this
respect, has become still more a weapon
of indirect fire, and by far the greater
proportion of machine gun casualties
nowadays are caused through this use
of the weapon. One highly valued use
of so-called indirect fire, a machine
gun is trained by day on a stretch
of road or communications which the
enemy is using at night for bringing
up supplies and reinforcements. The
machine gun tripod carefully is ad
Justed to command this road, and
stakes are placed so that the bullets
can be sprayed over the road. Then at
night, although the road3 are Invisible,
the machine gun is turned on at in
tervals of perhaps an hour, sweeping
the road clear of any enemy supply
columns that may be there, and In
effect making the use of that road Im
possible at night.
As in the case of the machine gun,
evolution is constantly in progress in
the use of the bayonet, in bombing.
In trenching, in sapping and in counter
attacks. Nowhere, say Army officers,
can the latest developments of each of
these specialties be taught so well as
in the training camps just behind the
trenches, where specialists from yes
terday's fighting are at hand to instruct
the novice.
Another valuable feature of the train
ing camp at the front is that the sol
dier is there brought rapidly, almost
unwittingly. Into the atmosphere of
modern warfare, so t"t when he is
finally drafted into hU front line unit
he finds nothing particularly new or
strange to him. No matter how well
American troops might be trained in
the United States, they would find the
melee of actual battle psychologically
very trying. And war experts no long
er laugh at psychology. "The training
of the mind for surprises and novelties
of the battlefield is as important as the
physical side of training," say the Brit
ish authorities.

Ml
AX'S WOMAN" Is another one
t those film tales of domestic
fe. with an injection of
political plotting and counter-plotting
in aid of the gambling element, and
Just sufficient underworld season to
make it exciting, that are proving so
popular with the motion picture public.
This photoplay, built along melo
dramatic lines, with a plot presenting
enough startling situations to keep its
interest alive at all stages, is featured
by the strong emotional acting of
Ethel Clayton, the golden-haired favor
ite, and Rockllffe Kellowes.
"Man's Woman" deals with a wom
an's revolt against her complete sub
mergence into a minor role in her own
home, by a husband and his two aunts,
and depicts the series of incidents
which lead to her assumption of a
position as the real mate of a man
pitted against criminals.
After three years of married life
Violet finds herself so utterly without
authority in her own home, due to the
influence of her husband's maiden
aunts, that she complains to Roger
(Mr. Fellowes), her husband. He is
so taken up as Assistant District At
torney in attempting to bring a group
of gamblers to Justice that he neglects
her needs.
The District Attorney, in league with
the gamblers, schemes to have a gun
man (Johnny Hines), put Roger out
of the way. Violet gets wind of the plot,
and lures the attorney to her home so
that he will receive the assassin's bul
let. In so doing she compromises her
self before her husband, but his eyes
are opened at last through the services
of an old family servant.
News weekly of world events. In
cluding glimpses of patriotic gather
ings and military scenes, is another
subject on the programme.
Globe.
Joe Knowles, famous "nature man,"
whose exploits have been featured
throughout the United States, appears
in a double attraction at the Globe
Theater on the week-end bill. - Knowles
appears in person on the Globe stage
in a lecture on woodcraft, also giv
ing a demonstration of fire-making
without the aid of matches or flint.
He also is presented in an interest
ing photoplay, "Alone in the Wilder
ness." Knowles Is the Robinson Crusoe
type of woodsman, who has demon
strated, under the strictest espionage,
that he can enter the wilds without
weapons or tools and clothe and feed
himself during a long period in the
forests. These stunts have made him
a famous figure. Not only that, but
he has achieved recognition as a
painter and nature scientist.
His early life as a trapper in th
woods of Northern Maine and Canada
suggested the photoplay, the scenes of
which, laid in the Canadian woods,
were filmed along the Feather River, in
California.
The story tells of a trapper who was
hounded to death by the Northwestern
mounted police for the killing of his
former partner, who, however, was ac
cidentally shot. The trapper's daugh
ter, in tryins to aid her father to

ships of the trail that the father braves
capture in endeavoring to save her.
The battle against the snowdrifts and
raging torrents shows some action
which no one but a seasoned woods
man could survive.
Heilig.
"The Eyes of the World," the ten
reel photoplay version of Harold Bell
Wright's well-known book of the same
name, not only presents a cinema pro
duction of unusual scenic beauty and
strong dramatic interest, but to mil
lions introduces once more characters
with whom they are well acquainted.
There is the burned-out, bestialized
roue, Mr. Taine, wrecked by his own
excesses. There is the young and
voluptoua wife of Taine, a siren as
polished in manner as sinister in pur
pose, who intrigues to entrap the
young artist in her meshes.
There is Conrad Lagrange, the cyni
cal story-writer, who confesses that he
"haunts the intellectual slaughter pens"
for material for" his "successful"
stories, but in whose heart still burns
many of the kindly sentiments of his
earlier days.
There is the young artist, Aaron
King, ambitious for fame, who is on
the point of debasing his talents for an
easy way to success and becomes the
shining mark for a designing woman.
James Rutlldge, the bull-necked art
critic who covets the virgin charm of
a sweet young girl of the mountains.
This girl. Sybil Andres, whose in
nocence threatens to make her easy
prey for the libertine until a menacing
crisis and her dormant protective In
stinct arouse her to a strength un
known to herself.
John Willard. the convict, the hunted
criminal, who for a rash deed commit
ted in behalf of a distressed sister, is
sent to prison. Brian Oakley, the for
est ranger, a hardy, rugged and fearless
specimen of manhood.
Tee Kee, the Chinese man-servant,
keen, devoted, merry, contributes much
to the gaiety of the story an element
all too rare in photoplays.
Star.
"The Immigrant," that ludicrously
funny Charlie Chaplin comedy that has
been attracting large crowds to the
Star Theater all week, will be con
tinued until Saturday night. The bill
will be augmented by the 10th enisode
of the Pathe serial thriller, "The Mys
tery of the Double Cross," starring
Mollie King. "Wrist Watches." the
two-reel smuggling yarn featuring
Grace Darling and Harry Fox. and
Screen Magazine, complete the enter
tainment. "The Immigrant" presents Chaplin
and Edna Purviance, his pretty leading
woman, as immigrants, and Eric Camp
bell, the giant of the Chaplin studios,
as a restaurant waiter. The merri
ment Is divided between shipboard and
a restaurant. On the former Charlie
wins money and the eyes of a girl; in
the latter he worsts the waiter, wins a
couple of meals and a bride. In so do
ing he furnishes fandom with more
laughs than It has had for months.
Sunset.
"The Sin Te Do," an unusually strong
photoplay starring Frank Keenan and
featuring Margery Wilson and Howard
Hickman; "Twenty Thousand Laughs
Under the Sea." a cartoon burlesque on
"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the
Sea," and Sunset Travel Pictures Num
ber Seven will comprise the Sunset
Theater photoplay offering, commenc
ing today.
"The Sin Te Do" tells the story of a
man who does not believe in the "un
written law"; he thinks a woman should
be able to protect herself or take the
consequences. His best friend Is killed
by his stenographer. The whole com
plexion of things is changed when he
discovers that the stenographer is his
daughter. He goes into the case on
behalf of the girl and wins. Then he
makes atonement for the wrong he has
done another man. Margaret Thomp
son and Jack Gilbert, the latter a Fort-
land boy, ara other members of the
cast. ,
Majestlc
"The Captain of the Gray Horse
Troop." a stirring photoplay dealing
with the redskins and presenting the
West in romantic colors, will be
screened at the Majestic Theater to
day, with Antonio Moreno and Edith
Storey as co-stara. This will be one
of the last appearances of these play
ers together, for both have severed
their connection with Vltagraph.
Thia picture Is said to be one of the
best of the Indian "Westerns" made In
years. Moreno plays the role of Cap
tain George Curtis, who undertakes to
see that fair play is given the Indians
on the Government reservation. The
Indiana welcome the coming of their
friend, but the ranchers and their po
litical pals resent his Interference and
plan to "get him." An Indian kills a
rancher and confesses to save his tribe.
Curtis is determined to give him a fair
trial, but the ranchers are bent on
lynching. He saves the redskin by the
use of the Gray Horse Troop, and Cur
tis is a final winner, likewise victor in
a game of love.
Vltagraph comedy, conbitone scenic
and Hearst-Patha News complete the
bill.
Columbia.
Louise Glaum, Triangle's vampire de
luxe, headlinea today's Columbia Thea
ter programme in "Love or Justice."
She is supported by Charles Gunn and
Jack Richardson. "Wheels of Woe" and
"A Marriage Failure," two Triangle
comedies, also will be screened.
"Love or Justice" presents Miss
Glaum as a sort of uncrowned queen
of the alums, a beauty gifted with brains
and a sense of single-hearted devotion
to the one who has aroused her love.
She covets culture and refinement,
things she does not possess, and when
a newcomer. Jack Dunn, once a 'bril
liant lawyer, but now a drug addict,
comes within her realm she wins the
derelict away from the drug and re
awakens ambition. Through her ef
forts he gradually regains his footing

colors.
Arnold Nobello. the New Tork Hip
podrome clown known as "Toto." is
ready to make comedies for Rolin. Kath
leen O'Connor, late of Keystone, will
be his leading woman. The change
means that Harold Lloyd will direct his

mm
Harry Ham, formerly of Christie
comedies and more recently with Fox,
has gone back to his first love.

(OFFICIAL)
JN drying both fruits and vegetables
hop dryers may be made to serve
admirably. "There Is no reason why
buildings so constructed as to maintain
the desired temperature should not be
utilized! for .the evaporation of fruits
and vegetables," says Professor C. I.
Lewis, chief of the division of horti
culture at Oregon Agricultural College,
who has Just written a very compre
hensive bulletin on preservation of
fruits and vegetables.
The superior advantages of commu
nity drying are emphasized in this new
bulletin, which has been issued by the
extension service. In many communities
this plan would make a great saving
of labor, fuel and other expenses. The
plan would enable the different grow
ers of the district to co-operate in
grading, which is Just as essential with
evaporated as with fresh products.
Prune dryers are also adapted to dry
ing fruits of various kinds. Both the
tunnel and the stack types can be used
for fruits and vegetables. A good
many growers are using prune and hop
dryers in Oregon with good results.
and during the rush times of the
Alaska gold discoveries much good
grade fruit and vegetables were turned
out In this manner. The main factor
in good work is to keep the trays clean
and the building so arranged and the
work so managed that the products
can be handled rapidly.
Directions for construction of dry
ers of the kind and size best suited
to the needs of grower or community
co-operating can be had by getting in
touch with Professor Lewis at the Ag
ricultural College. Much information
about the various materials for evap
oration, how to evaporate and special
care for particular products will be
found in the bulletin, which may be
had on request. Ask for "Preservation
of Fruits and Vegetables," Extension
Bulletin 187. If it is necessary then to
secure further help it may be had by
writing direct to Professor C. L. Lewis.

In his article Mr. MacRae told how
