^rStttle An/ertchn soldiers, “But your foreign population
in the United States must he a trementdous problem in
these times?"
‘,! j • The American soldier’s answer to this question is to

m . fifty percent are men of foreign names. "No problem at

half feet wide. The framework is made of any material
that happens to be available, and the support is wire nett

eighteen inches from the floor. Where the men obtain the
material for their beds is a mystery.
In the trenches, of course, no beds are to be had. A

In battles between British and German tanks, the Eng

I carrier.” -n
This carrier was concerned in the recent attack on
the airsheds at Tondern. She reached a suitable point off;
the German coast in the small hours of the morning and a
number of airplanes were sent up with the object of de
stroying Zeppelin hangars at Tondern.
Captain Dixon arrived at Tondern in the early hours
of the morning and came so lpw in searching for hangars
that at one time he.was within 50 feet of the ground. i
lie found Tondern very much asleep and flew over
the main street unmolested, seeing only one human being
on a farm cart who waved a cordial greeting.
Observing what he believed to be a hangar, Captain
Dixon released one bomb from a height of 300 feet and re
ceived a shock when a munition dump exploded. He immed
-lately made out the Zeppelin sheds and unloaded his re
maining bombs which caused a fierce fire.
A heavy barrage .was-fhen put up by the enemy but
Captain Dixon flew off and reached home after three
hours in the air./ r $
The barrage indicated to other attacking planes
where to operate and another machine piloted by Captain
Smart, who was decorated by the King later, attacked and
accounted for the second Zeppelin shed.
I CUT MOB SCENES FROM MOVIES.

LOS ANGELES, Sept., 3— Few, if any, motion pic
ture plays containing “mob or crowd” scenes will be pro
duced in Los Angeavs studios, according to producers, if
a policy recently inaugurated by the police department of
Los Angeles is carried out.
The Police I department recently announced its decis
ion that appearing in Roman mobs, modern riots or wheat
pit panics was not work essential to the winning of the
war and that participation in a sham battle for the films
was not fighting in the sense intended by Provost Mar
shal General Crowder in his “work or fight” order.
The police order was directed at what the profession
termed ‘'extras" who were hired by the day, first by one
company and then by another to provide “atmosphere”.
Most of the men thus employed were of the age and class
included in the police order.
When the first warning was not generally observed it
was repeated and by way of emphasis about a hundred
men waiting for employment at several studios within the
city were arrested. Some of these were taken befonj their
draft boards, others allowed to look for more usefnl em
ployment while a number were held on vagrancy charges.
