PRICE Of PEACE
REVEALS SECRETS
Treasury Presents Film OF
Events in Great Conflict
Showing What Victory Lib
erty Loan Bonds Pay For.

Secrets OF the war recorded by the
motion picture camera and only now
released by the censors are revealed
in '"The Price OF Pace" an official film
issued in behalf Of the Victory Liberty
Loan, and being shown all over the
country.
The Price OF Peace" is the only
official picture ever assembled which
purports to cover the war from the
day it was declared down to date.
The purpose of the picture as an
nounced by the Department OF the
Treasury through Frank r. Wilson,
director OF publicity, is to put before
the public a graphic accounting and to
make clear why there is now a Vic
tory Liberty Loan.
The picture opens with scene in
President Wilson's office and refer
ence to that momentous April s, when
war was declared. It concludes with
a remarkable view Of the Statue or
Liberty, in New York harbor, and the
homecoming of our army.
But there is a vast deal between.
including the embarkation Of troops,
their landing in France, final training
over there, then the desperate reall-
ties Of the front line trnchs, gas at
tacks, army railroading under fire, the
great attack from scissors to Chateau
Theirry infantry and artillery under
heavy bOnbardment. a battle between
aercpianes. and the downing Of an
enemy airman, the observation bal
looms under fire, then the battle dead,
the prisoners. captured guns. our
troops marching over the Rhine into
Germany. General Pershing and his
men in Prussia. Christmas with the
Army of Occupation in Germany, and
the Homecoming.
Probably the greatest thrill Of the
picture is in the scenes where ouI
troops are seen going 'over the top"
and into the wheatfelds at 4:35 O'Clock
on that famous July 1S, 1918. There
is a dim, misty light that gives these
scenes peculiar intensity. Other

Senator l>noN's speech in the senate
against the treaty Of peace ana the
