eminent cameramen have been busy
registering the activities of our sol
der and sailor boys on thousands OF
feet of motion picture film.
AS a result, the people of Pleasant
vile will have the first chance on
Wednesday at the Strand to see what
has been done by our boys up to date
over here and over there.
"Pershing's Crusaders" is the title
of this first official government fea-
ture film of the war. and it really con-
stitutes a motion picture history of
our first year at wal.
A successful effort has been made
to picture the governments handling
of the gigantic task of preparation
for war. The recruiting of u army,
the building of huge environments, the
clothing and feeding of Il troops, the
making of arms to equip them, the
building of enormous ship yards and
the rapidity with which ships are be-
ing built and launched.
You will see our boys in training,
fleets of aeroplanes in dizzying flight,
our great floating f%ortresses on vigi-
liant guard. our swift destroyers
searching the sea for the hated Ger
man ~periscope.
The greater part of the picture
shows our boys-maybe your boys
in France. 1t follows them along the
long road to the front. 1t shows the
vast stores of munitions and supplies
flowing like rivers through the quaint
French villages up to the front line
trenches. 1t depicts the first Ameri-
can field gun to throw a she'll into the
German trenches, the first American
troops entering and occupying a first
line trench, the first batch of German
prisoners taken by our soldiers, the
first baptism before a battle.
Secretary of Wal Baker is seen or
his first tour of inspection in France.

plane squadrons and the American
boys who man them. General Per
shing and staff accompanies him in
his visits to the camps of our "Cru-
saders."
1t is a picture every mother, sister
or sweetheart of a soldier should see.
It is better than a letter from the boys
over there for at the Strand you can
see him actually at the grim business
and the light-hearted play of war.
