AMERICAN FORESTRY

camp and on the fighting lines; what they 

 eat, how the daily tons upon tons of bread 

 is made, how the worn clothing is reno- 

 vated and repaired by French women in 

 the service of the American army; the 

 utilization of old hats and old shoes in a 

 wonderful salvage department; the sani- 

 tation of the soldiers' uniforms by ma- 

 chinery; the endless stream of the trucks 

 used to transport supplies to the front; 

 camouflaged guns, the acres of shells and 

 other ammunition, the American Aero 

 Squadron, and, finally, the actual fighting, 

 in which American soldiers have brought 

 undying fame upon themselves and their 

 country. 



"America's Answer" is a picture that 

 every American and every near American 

 should see; it is one's duty, but also one's 

 privilege to see it. The Government's 

 Division of Films has done no better work 

 for the stimulation of loyalty and the ac- 

 centuation of the spirit of giving than the 

 assembling and presentation of this most 

 illuminating war film. Every motion thea- 

 tre should show it. Every man, woman and 

 child in the city should see it, or if it has 

 not been booked in your town you should 

 insist on being given an opportunity to 

 see it. 



WOOD FOR STAIRWAYS AND 

 ARMY WAGONS 



WOOD, transformed into stairways and 

 escort army wagons, is performing 

 another useful duty in the war of 

 the United States against Kaiser Wilhelm 

 and his Prussians. One manufacturing con- 

 cern located here is devoting its entire 

 time to the manufacture of these stairways 

 and wagons. 



It is declared that one hundred fully 

 finished wooden stairways are completed 

 every day, and that fully half that number 

 of army wagons are turned out in the 

 same period. The stairways are for use in 

 ships and in the various cantonments. The 

 escort army wagons, of course, are used 

 around cantonments also although some 

 of them have found their way to France.
