Secretary OF the Navy Daniels grant
ed special permission to Mr.. Howe to
produce this film In order to inform
the public what tremendous strides
have been made in our mighty naval
units within the past few months.
These havs been so rapid that 1t has
kept even naval exper is busy to keep
up to the minute"
The sceies throughout reflect the
spirit of the tense days in which we
live and the momenttus conflict in
which we are now engaged. They
radiate the atmosphere of serious bus
mess rather TRAN the mere pomp and
panopiy of wtr.l They depict the ac~
tivities and discipline that pervade
every nook al corner of our great
slant battle They take spectators to

most !nc!sive way. 1t proves not alone
the varied work that has to be done.
but how these duties are allotted and
how performed. One portion also
shows the rigorous training enforced
at the United states Naval academy at
Annapolis, Md. in qualifying the mid
shipmen TO become high officers in
the navy 1t proves that contrary to
the accepted beliefs. there Is no royal
road towards the achievement OF a
high command In tho feet. Dads po-

Another feature depicts the thrilling
episodes of broncho- breaking contests
and ride over the Cascade mountains
in Washington via the Great Northern
railway, Still another Aim reveals an
ina ginary battle in the air between q
Zeppelin and British airman over
London which ends in the total de-
struction of the former. Climbing
dizzy Alpine heights is another sub
tect replete with thrills as the fear
less climbers ascend almost perpendi-
cular cliffs and scale walls of tower
ing peaks where death turks at every
step.
The serious subjects are humorously
satirized by entirely new animated
cartoons created by Howe's artists
which simply must be seen to be APP
preciated.
