Subtitles (Passed by the Committee on Information): Studying the different parts of the machine. The eyes of the army. Mechanics and woodworkers are needed to repair the airplanes. Enlist now in America's air service. Oakland, Cal: Safe from hunters' guns, thousands of wild ducks take up their winter quarters in the placid waters of Lake Merritt. Subtitles: They have become very tame and are easily fed on the lawn. Tarragone, Spain: Spain is greatly enlarging her undersea fleet, and Admiral Florez, Minister of Marine, inspects two new submarines. Subtitle: The submersibles successfully undergo their trial trip. The Victory on the Aisne: First pictures of the great battle of Chemin des Dames, where the French troops heroically attacked the Teuton lines and won a brilliant victory (French Official War Pictures). Subtitles: Vast quantities of shells are brought up for the assault. The artillery attack begins; every nook hides a monster gun. Quietly the infantry advances to the front-line positions. 5 A.M.; the charge. Soon the first batch of prisoners begins to trail in; they do not seem to mind the change. The Red Cross field hospitals give the first aid to the wounded. 11,000 prisoners, 180 cannon, miles of territory recaptured. Another step on the road to victory and peace. Nome, Alaska: The schooner, "Sea Lion," drifts ashore during a storm and coast guards brave the heavy seas to rescue the crew. Subtitle: Uncle Sam's men in the North are a hardy, fearless lot. Winchendon, Mass: Good little boys and girls will be happy on Christmas Day for toyland is making many playthings for Santa Claus' bags. Subtitles: The hobby horses are dipped in white paint and then dabbled with an air-brush. Drums will beat when grandfather takes his Yuletide nap. For the heroes of to-morrow. Washington, D.C: The eyes of the world are focused on Capitol Hill as the sixty-fifth Congress convenes for its regular session. Subtitles: Senator Lodge one of the staunchest advocates of a vigorous prosecution of the war. Congressman Dill (right) shows Speaker Clark the case of the first shell fired by Pershing's forces, Uncle Joe Cannon. Crowds gather about the Capitol when President Wilson arrives to deliver his message. "I earnestly recommend that Congress immediately declare the United States in a state of war with Austria-Hungary." "The war will be won when the German people are ready to agree to a settlement based on justice and reparation of wrongs done by their rulers." "Our present task is to win the war and nothing shall turn us aside from it until it is accomplished." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
