WHAT "AMERICA'S ANSWER" 

 MEANS 



AMERICA'S ANSWER," the U. S. 

 Official War Picture, issued by the 

 Division of Films, of the Committee 

 on Public Information, is not the ordinary 

 press-agented film play. It is a chapter 

 of the great drama of the war, registered 

 by U. S. Signal Corps photographers, by 

 direction of General John J. Pershing. It 

 is purely a Government enterprise. No in- 

 dividual has any profit interest in the pro- 

 duction. The picture has been made and it 

 is presented for public consideration, not 

 to make money although it must neces- 

 sarily produce a revenue in order to meet 

 the expenses involved but in order to show 

 the millions of contributors to the several 

 Liberty Loans, the purchasers of Thrift 

 and War Stamps, Taxpayers, and those 

 who have so generously given in other 

 ways for the needs of the war, just how the 

 great sums have been expended and what, 

 in a physical way, has been accomplished 

 in France during the first year of America's 

 participation in the struggle for Democracy. 

 It shows the wonderful 3-mile dock 

 "Somewhere in France," built on swamp 

 land by American soldiers, and now being 

 used to expedite the landing of our troops 

 and the handling of the stupendous volume 

 of supplies with which the sea from the 

 United States to the coast of France is 

 being bridged; it shows one of the mam- 

 moth refrigerator plants established be- 

 hind the lines, a great plant with a capacity 

 for 10,000,000 pounds of meat, and capable 

 of producing a million pounds of ice daily; 

 it shows the assembling of American loco- 

 motives by our soldier mechanics ; the 

 building of railways, the leveling of French 

 forests to secure needed timber ; the erec- 

 tion of hospitals and the building of a great 

 dam in order to create a reservoir to sup- 

 ply one of the largest hospitals with water; 

 it shows how American soldiers live in
