(th UL S SEGRE Treasury Presents Film oi Events in Great Conf.ici Showing- What Victory Lib erty Loan Bonds Fay For. Secrets of the war recorded by the motion picture camera and only now relea.-ed by the censors are revealed in "The Price of Pace," an official fd m 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 Liberly Loan. The picture opens with a scene tn President Wilson's office and a refer ence to that momentous April 6, when war was declared. It concludes with a remarkable view of the Statue of 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 reali ties of the front line trnchs, gas at tacks, army railroading under fire, the groat attack from Soissons to Chateau Theirry. infantry and artillery under heavy bombardment, a battle between aeroplanes, . and the downing of an enemy airman, the observation bal loons 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 Germnay. and the homecoming. Probably the greatest thrill of the picture is in the scenes where our troops are seen going "over the top" and into the wheatfields at 4:35 o'clock on that famous July 18. 191S. There is a dim, misty light, that gives these scenes a peculiar intensity. Other ecenes of desperate fighting show an American battery under heavy fire from enemy guns in the Argonne. ID yet other scenes American soldiers are shown bravely advancing undet shrapnel fire across an open glade Two are shot down near the camera The activities of the American nav3 furnish another important chapter o! the picture.
