TRUTH REGARDING U. S.
WAR PROGRESS IN
OFFICIAL FILM
"Pershing's Crusaders" Offers
Graphic Refutation of "Scare"
Stories About Our Unprepared-
ness.

The Truth About the War" Is
one of the sub-titles to "Pershing s
Crusaders" the U. S. official war
firm, at the Palace theater. 1t IS
interesting to note that this truth,
with relation to the air program OF
America, causes much relief 10
those who have heard SO much
about the failure of the aviation
program. There is nothing of fail
ure in what is shown in these films
of what America has done in avia-
ton thus far. In fact, it is astound-
ing that SO much has been accom-
plished in SO short space of time.
General Pershing and Secretary
Baker are shown inspecting hun
dreds of American aeroplanes in
France and the American aviators
are shown in action, and display
the ability to take their place III
the air at any time along with the
allied airmen.
The American machines are there
llOH III lOlIC, hl0 oNiNNii SiiO" N'''-'
and if much more impetus is given
to the aviation program 1t may well
be expected that the United States
will soon have thousands Of planes
in the field and plenty of trained
airmen to operate them. 1t would
appear that there are enough Amer
lean machines and trained tliers
over there now to take care OF all
the bombing, scouting and fighting
planes needed over that part OF
the front held by the American
troops.
This exhibition of how far the
country has progressed in the air
program is but another OF the en-
couraging facts shown by this great
war film which puts heart and con-
fidence in the American people,
That America is already taking part
and has made marvellous progress
in her first year of the war is evil
dent to all who see these films.
