but more especially his daughter

Bismarck, N. D.. June 6.-The first
showing Of "Pershing's Crusaders"
west of Chicago, was made privately
for the council Of defense and the
press in the Publicity Film Co. studios
in Bismarck this week. The small
audience which saw the picture. al
though all were there in a profession
al capacity, were thrilled by the won
derful vividness and the dash and
verve Of the scenes to the point of
frequent spontaneous applause. The
titles Of these pictures in themselves
constitute a patriotic appeal which
reaches straight to the heart OF every
American, and as one sees our Sam
mics, not only in tRaining camps over
here, but in the tIGnChes over there,
the same Bnappy, Happy, wholesome
