REEVES TO LECTURE ON MILITARY PHOTOGRAPHY

Army Officer on Special Leave Will Give Second Free Public Speech on Aerial Observation

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Captain D. M. Reeves, of the United States Army Air Service, will speak on "The Romance of Military Photography" at 8 o'clock this evening in the Harvard Institute of Geographical Exploration. In his lecture he will cover the gathering of intelligence, one of the most exciting factors in military operations, and the development of visual and photographic observation from the air, which has tremendously influenced the technique of modern warfare.

Captain Reeves is one of the four officers of the Army Air Service who are on special leave from Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio, in order to assist in Geography 36, the new course in aerial photography which is being given at Harvard this half year. During his 16 years in the Army he has devoted himself to this study and his book, "Aerial Photographs" is regarded as one of the standard works on the subject.

This evening's lecture will be the second in a series of four free public talks which have been arranged in connection with Geography 36. Last month Captain A. W. Stevens spoke, his subject being "Over Two Continents with an Aerial Camera." The remaining public lectures will be "Mapping the Earth from the Air," by Captain B. C. Hill, on Wednesday, March 22, and "From the Log of a Flying Photographer" by Lieutenant J. F. Phillips, on Wednesday, April 26.
