[By Wilbur S. Forrest, United Prees

LONDON, May 20.—(By mail to
New York.)—An interesting insight
into the activity of moving picture
operators at the various fronts and
the dissemination of their product
was given today by a representative
of The Cinema, a London publication
circulated among "the trade" in
Europe.
The German government, according
to the informant took advantage of
the moving picture machine almost
from the beginning of the war to show
the world what the German army was
doing the Held. Other belligerents,
notably France were not slow to see
the value 'of the innovation, and at
present the idea is being embraced by
the English military authorities. Rus
sia thus far, has not seen nt to pro
vide a very wide latitude to the
'movie."
"An entire government department
in Berlin has charge of cinemato
graphic films," said the informant.
"As the Alms are approved they are
officially stamped and disseminated

moving picture theatre in Germany.

THING, En?., May 20,—(By mall

little cottage-homo in this quaint old
Hortofordshire
town today that's the
proudest and saddest in all England.
On the wall of the plain homey sit

the breast of the aged lamp-lighter of
Tring. the father of Private Baker,
swell with pride a month ago and
brought proud tears to the eyes of his
aged mother
"For the most conspicuous bravery
on March 12 at Neuve Chapelle, Pri

Victoria cross. He ran speedily in

which he belonged and threw bombs
on the erfemy with such offect that a
very great number of them immedi

pany reached him they found him
qnlte alone and unsupported with the
enemy surrendering all about him."
Then came the sorrow that failed
to alter the pride In the home of
Tring's lamplighter. It was a letter
direct from tho front. It told how the
here son had fallen, shot through the
brain by an enemy sniper's bullet..
The message came from Lance Cor

at Neuve Chapelle. He saw their son

[By William Philip Slma. United press
Staff Correspondent.]
PARIS, May 20. (By mail to New
York.)—"Aren't you overdoing this
spy mania an American business
man asked a French army officer here
the other day when, after devoting an
entire day to an attempt to get out ot
Paris he had still another day's work
ahead of him waiting in line
visas at consulates, prefectures and
commissaries.
"What do you mean by overdoing
the spy mania?" the officer wanted to
know.
"I mean simply this," the American
explained. "Every few days the mili
tary authorities issue new orders
about passports, permits de sehour,
laissez-paseers and what not.
Or
course, the changes are designed at
least in part to discourage spying.
Isn't the spy danger exaggerated?
Have you really much to fear from a
spy? Could a spy do much damage
if you actually allowed him to movo
around all he pleased back of the firing
line?"
"Heavens yes!" the officer exclaim
ed.
"I ask you because I am an average
American business man," the man
from-toome went on, "and frankly

every town in northern France has

v:an
the weather cold and his potatoes al

brown, but best of all from the sol
diers' point of view, he gave more for
a sou than any other peddler.
"The military authorities look after
everybody in a town. Of course, they
looked after this man. He proved to
be a spy. And, since he was at his
fried potato stand early and late—he
was up by daylight and did not close
up until the streets were cleared a
night—one might ask, &B you did, what
if he was a spy? What could he learn,
there, working away at his one corner?

the simple soldier who bought a cont

It was pn easy matter to ilu'l approx

so on.
"As a matter of fact this man was

see we can't afford to overlook any
