Under Four Fla
In 1870 Germany had the Mighty Old Man of Politics in Prince Bismarck, but her line of Cabinet antiques today puts up a sorry front before the Venerable Lion of France, Premier Georges Clemenceau.

Excerpts from the Government's Fourth Official ~War Film
THE Division of Films, Committee on Public Information, has already given general circulation to three patriotic and inspiring ensembles of photographic motion: "Pershing's Crusaders,'' "America's Answer," and "The Bridge of Ships." Th^ first was the Division's hastily mobilized shock unit, a varied assemblage of reels visualizing the Expeditionary Force. It was received with general enthusiasm. The second — the "Answer" picture — must have hurt the home-grown Huns deep down. for it showed the tremendous material preparation, at home and abroad, for this war of liberty. And the third must have been an optic knell for these same Huns, since it showed that we could not only make the land, but the sea, safe for democracy.
The fourth picture, named above, is not only a general look at the great business now being carried on by America-England-France-Italy & Co.. but is the first specimen of film production as a genuine government industry. The United States motion picture establishment is at last under full headway, and is delivering pictures not only effective as propaganda, but worth while as matters of history and specimens of art.
