VIEW AMERICAS ANSWER" AT THE
 PARK THEATER
Immense Gathering of Bul lard Workers Fill House
 at Picture Production.

"The American lines extend from the first line trench in France to San Francisco, Califosnia, U. S. A." de- clared Corporal Mauvet. of the French Foreign Legion, when ad- dressing the 2,500 employees of the Bullard Machine company who crowded the Park theatre last night as guests of the company to witness "America's Answer" the great war film produced by the United States government.
 Continuing Corporal Mauvet, who Is an American, but who has been with the Foreign Legion since early in 1915, brought the house to the edge of their chairs when he shouted You hear about driving the Kaiser to Berlin, but let me tell you we will 1 have to drive him and his six un- 1 injured sons to Hell before this war | is over. We will have to fight the German in his own dirty mean way and not until you men working behind us fellows invent and send to us the dirtiest, rottenest, poison gas and other terrible weapons, will the Hun begin to think he is being licked" At the conclusion of his address the Corporal who wore the Gordon d'honeur of his regiment as well as the Croix de Guerre, was applauded wildly, but he checked the enthusiasm in a peremptory manner and again rising said: "In conclusion I wish to thank you for your kind applause, but applause will not beat the Hun. Roll | nd dren of these United States and sweat. like the men, women and children or France and England. The women Of France and England have done every thing that a man has ever done in the workshops and fields. We men at the front must have this support to beat the Hun"
 The picture followed immediately and there was not an American in the audience who did not swell up with pride at the picturization of the al- most superhuman accomplishments of our soldiers and sailors. The story in pictures began with the training of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and their transportation to the other side. It showed mile after mile of | houses equipped with travelling cleo tric, steam and hydraulic cranes Auto trucks, locomotives, boilers barges and other huge objects were being handled as though they were packets of groceries at the corner store. Mountains of supplies were piled up as far as the eye could see and all were being unloaded by Hur prisoners of war.
 American negro troops danced ant sang after their hard days work building docks, roads and railroads Thousands upon thousands answered the bugle that called them to dinner and their grinning faces showed how they enjoyed the good food they were served.
 Then the march to the front through smiling peaceful villages where only the crippled and the chil dren formed the welcoming crowds Tears came to many an eye whel the grandmothers of France wer' shown mending our boys uniforms The audience rose spontaneously a the majestic strains of the MarseiHsis
 burst forth and a rousing cheer wa
 given for the old ladies whose eye
 dimmed with tears for their depart
 ed loved ones. The audience wen
 wild when the avenging host o
 America's sons went over the top a
 Cantigny and the picture closed witt
 our troops still advancing.
 Workers in other ordnance an,
 munitions shops of the city wer
 given the opportunity this morning a
 10 o'clock to view this great pictur
 through the kindness of the Bullar
 management, which arranged for
 special run at that hour. All work t CTS who showed their night passe s were admitted free, and the theatr ' was well filled.
