In Midst of Destruction Conservation Is Achieved.

In the midst of monster destruction an enormous conservation is achieved. Only the dead are laid away. Nothing is “scrapped.” They make laces out of cast-off shoes, redeem shattered guns, convert refuse fat into glycerin, replenish the flickering fires of life itself. War is not all waste, writes Isaac F. Marcosson in Everybody’s Magazine. And when this moving picture, more animated than any ..imagination play ever thrown upon cinema screen, has passed before you, you realize, even before a single shot is fired, that energy and organization of the highest order have been tested to a well-nigh incredible extent. It dawns on you that war is work !
