"There is nothing academic in this proposition. Public opin- ion stands recognized as a vital part of national defense, a mighty force in national attack. The strength of the firing line is not in trench or barricade alone, but has its source in the morale of the civilian population from which the fighting force is drawn. "As the Nation is united, resolute and convinced of the justice of its cause, so may heroic efforts be expected of its de- fenders. Disunity and disloyalty tear at the very heart of cour- age. The Committee fights ignorance, misunderstanding, and disaff"ection. It works for the maintenance of morale by every process of stimulation. We do not call it propaganda, for that word in German hands has come to be associated with lies and corruptions. Our work is educational and informative, for we have such confidence in our case that we feel that no more than a fair presentation of its facts is needed to win the verdict. "Under the pressure of this necessity the Committee has grown to be a world organization. Not only does it reach deep into every community in the United States, but it carries the aims and objects of America to every land." GEORGE CREEL. The expansion of the work of the Committee on Public Information has brought about the growth of a business organ- ization, divided into eighteen different departments, or divisions, each playing its definite and important part in bringing the facts concerning the war to the people. DIVISION OF FILMS Organization.

HART Director Division of Films motion pictures brought about the organization of the Division of Films, of which Charles S. Hart is Director. The beginning was made with the pictures which the Sig- nal Corps was already making for the historical record. It was decided that these should be used, and the scope of the pic- tures enlarged, so that the peo- ple might be informed of the activities of the Government in the War. " Pershing's Crusaders." For many months the Army and Navy photographers worked on the photographic record of the happenings in training camps and "over there" before the first big feature film, "Pershing's Crusader's," was ready for release. Completed, it gives an of- ficial record, in scenes of exceptional photographic merit, of the achievements of America, not only in mobilizing and training the men, but in shop and shipyard, factory and field as well. The second part of the picture was taken altogether in France, show- ing our boys landing, then in training and finally in action in the front line trenches. "Pershing's Crusaders" met with phenomenal success and has appeared, or will appear, in 2,500 motion picture houses in this country. It will also be shown in many hundreds of theatres in foreign lands, everywhere it goes carrying the story of America's nation-wide activity in taking up the battle for Humanity. Official War Review. With the co-operation of the Govern- ments of Great Britain, France and Italy, all the Allied war pic- tures are now released through the Division of Films in the form of the weekly "Allied Official War Review." "America's Answer," the second of the feature series, made under the personal supervision of General Pershing, carries a re- lease date of July 29th. The Division now in co-operation with the Army and Navy, maintains a huge staff of photographers, working directly under General Pershing, so that the official weeklies, and the features which are to be released at intervals of six weeks to two months, will contain the very latest and most accurate records of events "over there." g I I I I I I ^t tip ^^» ^ ^M|i I I i 1 Allied WarExposition CHESTER I. CAMPBELL Director Bureau of Exposition From observing the enthus- iasm aroused by the motion pic- tures released by the Division and the keen interest in the dis- plays of war trophies which some of the Allied Governments had been making in a few of our cities, the idea of the Allied War Exposition was evolved. Opening at San Francisco — Coming under the direction of the Division of Films, but being distinct in character from the other activities of the Division, a Bureau of Expositions, of which Chester 1. Campbell is Director, was organized to gather together displays of war trophies and evidence of war preparations, for the Allied War Exposition opening at San Francisco on July 7th and to present this Exposition thereafter in as many of the large centers of population as practical. With the co-operation of the departments at Washington and of the Governments of Great Britain, Canada, France, Italy, and Belgium, fourteen different exhibitions have been gathered together and built up into sections of the Exposition, making in its entirety a vast panorama of war activities, including not only war trophies but educational displays showing the mighty scale on which the activities of the Allied Governments are going forward. "Over here" do your part to win the war "over there," is the keynote of the Exposition, and surely no one can witness these priceless trophies, bought with the blood of those who have died in the Battle for Humanity, without being stirred to the depths of his heart, and aroused to even greater efforts to do all in his power to bring Victory to America and her Allies. ^I|.|i fc 1 i ^ ^ S ■ •J EARL READING British High Commissioner M.

I I ■ EXHIBIT OF COMMISSIONS ON TRAINING CAMP ACTIVITIES "Both sides of the picture," the drab, ugly scene in the sandy Mexican village where the men hung around listless and uninterested, with no place to go and nothing to do unless they patronized the few dirty saloons, and the men today, singing, playing, writing, attending a theatrical performance, or an educational class, are vividly portrayed in the Training Camp exhibit. There is a model of the typical scene on the Mexican border in 1916; adobe huts dot the brown sand which stretches away into the far distance; dispirited soldiers are standing about, some straggling into or out of the saloons, one lying in a drunken stupor on the ground. In vivid contrast are the scenes which follow. Out on the cantonment grounds men are boxing, playing baseball, tennis, pushball and other sports. Several care- fully colored pictures show the boxing drill, which includes 1,000 men practicing the movements at one time, and a moving picture apparatus displays the close relationship between boxing and bayoneting, which is the main reason why this sport is being taught to every soldier and sailor in training. A regment is singng with a will under the direction of the Commission's song leader; there is a group singing around a campfire and troops singing on the march. It is lots of fun and unequaled in inspiring a fighting spirit. There is a model Liberty Theatre, built exactly on the plans of the real ones. The lights are on and the play is about to begin. The last of the long line of dough- boys is filing, with their open books of Smileage in their hands. A life-size soldier and sailor pore over their studies and the nearby replica of a camp library shows the wide variety for improvement and recreation which is being afforded the men in service. And in the clubrooms they are writing letters home, playing games or attending some entertainment. Community hospitality, organized under the Com- missions, and the way it reaches soldier and sailor are also depicted. A frieze, showing the various activities promoted by the Commissions, runs around the entire exhibit, with special ones in the athletic and music scenes. The opening is marked by a triumphant arch, with a striking painting of an eagle with one wing around a soldier and the other around a sailor, by James Daugherty, the well-known poster painter, who is in charge of camouflaging Uncle Sam's big fleet. Another striking painting representing the "Spirit of the Commissions" — a beautiful woman sending forth a sailor carrying a magnificent flag and a soldier with fixed bayonet, both manifestly "fit to fight" — is the logical close of the exhibit. 1^ PUSHBALL CONTEST, GRFAT LAKES NAVAL TRAINING STATION ^-^^ WAR DEPARTMENT I I I I I I I 1 NEWTON D.

The big feature of the exhibit by the War Department, in addi- tion to the Trench Battle Scene, described on page 32 in this cata- log, is the Army Mess Kitchen, where meals are served in the same manner, and using the same "grub" as is the fare of the "doughboys" in France. A din- ner in the Army ]\Iess will con- vince the most skeptical of the great care taken to provide our boys with the right kind of food for fighters. One of the most interesting branches of the service is the U. S.

IModels of battleships, cruis- ers, submarines, and the other types of fighting craft, as well as photographs, show clearly the high state of efficiency which the Navy has attained, and make plain the tremendous part the United States is playing in hunting the Hun off the sea. But ships and sailors are not all of the proud assets of the Navy. The glorious iMarines, "soldiers of the sea," hold a prominent place in the Navy section of the Exposi- tion, aud sliow full well why the "Marine is first to fight."

To a great many, the "trenches" are still nothing more than ditches; but to the student of modern war- fare the trench is an interesting, scientific and effective part of both offensive and defensive tactics, complicated to an extent the imagi- nation could not conceive of, without the aid of actual visualization. The "Trench Battle Scene" at the Allied War Exposition, with its reproduction of No-^lan's Land, of front-line and communicating trenches — a veritable network — with Red Cross shelter and camou- flage, brings home to many a side of warfare which has hitherto been very mysterious. Down to the little keepsakes, photographs, and mementoes which the boys pin on the walls of the trenches, the "Trench Battle Scene" is a faithful reproduction of life as it is going on day by day in miles upon miles of trenches "Somewhere in France." Not the least interesting part of this exhibit is the famous British tank "Britannia," which each day crashes up and down the field, through barbed- wire entanglements, over stones, trenches and trees, just as it did so many times in the gallant battles it fought on the Front. & s s s ss ^ ^s I I I I I ! I I I I I 1 EXHIBITION BY COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC INFORMATION The exhibition by the committee is designed to show some of the ways in which it is being made possible for the public to become familiar with the prin- ciples involved in the war, the aims and aspirations of each nation, its prepara- tions, and the progress it is making in the Battle for Humanity. One of the most effective divisions of the committee is the Division of Dis- tribution, which is distributing several hundred thousand copies of the publica- tions of the committee each month, in response to requests. Many of the publications are sent out entirely free of charge, but for some of the more expensive ones a charge is made, which, however, is far less than the cost of the publication. The most comprehensive of these publications, the War Cyclopedia, which is for sale at the booth of the Committee on Public Tnformation, is best described by the following written by Mr. Creel: "Throughout the Uuitod States today thousands of Americans in civil life are doing their part to win the war. They come from all professions and from every trade. From the office, from the school, from the editorial room, and from the platform they are sending out their message of truth and democracy. Their desire for service is complete; their chance to find easily the facts they need is limited. It is to provide them with a body of information, simply arranged and clearly stated, that this War Cyclopedia has been prepared. "Other handbooks have been and will be made by other agencies; all will serve their end, for this war is not to be won by an established doctrine nor by an official theory, but by an enlightened public opinion based upon the truth. The facts of history and life are the only arsenal to which Americans need resort in order to defend their cause. The deeper their study, the firmer becomes their conviction. The War Cyclopedia represents an effort to arrange in simple form the facts most needed. Persons have been left out except so far as bio- graphical notes are absolutely indispensable; a knowledge of American public men in particular has been taken for granted. The map (at the end of the book) makes clear the German plans and conquests. The Chronology includes only outstanding events, but even a selected list of dates should prove helpful." George Creel, Cliairman. i Ask at Booth of Committee on Public Information for Free Loyalty Booklets EXHIBITS BY WAR WORK ORGANIZATIONS Not only does the interest of the American public center in tiie weapons, food and equipment of the fighting man, but all are keenly interested in knowing of the work of the many agencies which, hand in hand, are working to make life more comfortable for him when he is well, to look after him when ill or injured, to minister to him, to keep him at all times "fit to fight." No one will begrudge the position of the American Red Cross at the top of the list of these organizations, and the Red Cross booth at the Allied War Exposition will indeed be of great interest. The other organizations co-operating in exhibitions of their war work are : War Savings Stamps Y. M. C. A.
