Scenes Of World War I
America's particpation in WW I, from beginning to end, portrayed in a montage of quick shots. A blindfolded man selects a draft number. Soldiers and sailors parade, board and leave ships, march, run through clouds of smoke in battle holding bayonets. Explosions, a dead or wounded soldier hits the gound, corpses. Citizens wave flags at war's end. Soundtrack uses snippets of patriotic songs.
