AMERICA GOES OVER
This film is one of the official films of the United States Army Signal Corps taken under action and service conditions in France. At the beginning is a rare and unique sequence. It shows the actual sinking of several allied vessels as photographed by the Germans. The films were taken from captured German U-boats. Then follows a closeup of President Wilson signing a request for Congress to declare war on April 2, 1917. The audience is then whisked to France where the camera catches a British detachment returning from a raid through no man's land with German prisoners. Pictures are also shown of the French and Italian armies in action. Methods used to train recruits for the U. S. Army are illustrated. The film closes with an inspiring picture of the American naval ships on the way to join the British Fleet. An excellent historical subject.
