PATRIOTIC FILM
To De SHOWN At
OPERA HOUSE ON
WEDNESDAY NEXT
FIRST OF PICTURES MADE BY
GOVERNMENT AND SHOWING
ACTUAL MILITARY MANEUVERS
OF UNITED STATES FORCES
WILL BE EXHIBITED HERE
THREE PERFORMANCES THIS
WEEK.

"Pershings CRUSADERS the first
official moving picture of the great
war authorized by the United States
Government will be shown in Amer
icus next Wednesday at the Opera
House. This is a patriotic picture of
real merit, and one The TimesRe-
corder hopes will be seen by every
person in the county. Manager Dud-
ley, discussing this remarkable film
today, said.
Into the widely popular domain of
motion picture entertainment has
come a new ald powerful factor.
Uncle Sam is now movie manager,
Coordination is the dynamo of eff
cheney and Capitalization of control
its, starting lever. Recognizing the
great value of the movie, the United
States Government has taken over
the work of visualizing on the screen
the scenes of the Great War in order
to show pictorial history of what
is being done over here and over
there"
The New York Tribune recently
said: This is the first war of sub
marines and aeroplanes-and it is
also the first war of movies. Just
at present we should rate the movie
as the most powerful ally that hard
pressed democracy has yet been able
to summon to her side" In order that
this powerful weapon may be utiliz-
ed to its utmost, the Committee on
Public Information, of which George
CreeI is Chairman, now controls the
work of the United States Signal
Corps and Navy Photographers and
arrangements have been made where
by the Committee will also handle the
work of official photographers OF
France, England and Italy.
With this comprehensive material
at its command the movie history Of
the war will be co-ordinated so that,
instead of detached scenes sandwich
ed in with other views, it will be
shown in complete episodes. There
will be a series of big feature pic
lures under the direction of H. c.
Hoagland, the first of which, entitled
"Pershing's Crusaders" will be shown
at the Opera House Wednesday, oc-
tober 9th, three performances, 1880,

While it is true that moving pic
tures were shown of the RussO-Jap-

in describing the battle. There were
five submarines, the nearest being five
miles away when we sighted them.
The Britannia came in between them
when the submarines had reduced the
distance to three-quarters of a mile.
The submarines torpedoed and sank
the Britannia while we made off at top
speed, sending S. o. s.. calls for help.
American destroyers joined US and gave
battle to the submarines, sinking three
with depth bombs. The two others es-
capped.
"The casualties on the Britannia
must have been great, for many bodies
were piled on shore"
A British admiralty statement on

1000 wounded, which already had been
published by the marine corps head
quarters here.

the enemy direct communication to
the front.
While the lower section is not
blocked, indications are that Stelvio
pass, which is the vital line in the
route, is blocked by from 10 to Is
feet of snow. The Stelvio is the
highest pass in Europe, exceeding
5000 feet, and connects the Adige
valley of Austria with the AIDA val
ley in Italy. Shows in that section
invariably are followed by avalanches
which further block the valleys and
available outlets.
The enemy's eastern communica-
tons in the F'riule region are SINH
larly. but it is believed not so seri-
ously affected. The railroad line run
ming southwark along the upper
Piave is blocked by heavy snow and
avalanches. Farther east the route
to Gorilla, which passes through the
trans-Alpine pass of Feistritz, is
snowbound, though two other routes
across the Carso range are less af-
Effected.
The indications are that the enemy
will be unable to carry on any large
operations, particularly on the noun
tain front, during the period that his
communications are snowbound.
