Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 154, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 July 1914 — War Theme of Many Reels. [ARTICLE]

War Theme of Many Reels.

War is furnishing the tneme for many motion picture reels now being prepared. A company is at work on a series of scenes that show Uncle Sam’s in every arm of the service—infantry, cavalry, artillery and the signal corps; in setting up exercises, in making and breaking camp, in drills and skirmishes, apd in cavalry tactics in which the troopers quite outdo the feats of circus riders. A reel will be devoted to the entrainment of all forces, including artillery, and their, movements tn the field. In this latter detail will be shown large bodies of men, full battalions of cavalry, and batteries of artillery up to the war standard, scouting, reconnoitering, making their way over rough country, fording rivers; in fact, all of the experiences that an army in the field encounters. The picture* were taken under the auspices of the United States war department.
