BERLIN, March 17. I What is claimed to be the greatest { war-time film giving a complete and !.monumental record is about to be ' released', The producing company ■ was granted official assistance and J also access to the Government's vast ■ archives. Firstly, it reviews Europe j before the war, with the nations' ! bristling bayonets. The prologue i makes it clear how the militarists j made an outbreak inevitable from | the mobilisation. The battle pictures range from the openning skirmishes in Flanders to the battle of;the Marne and include Hindenburg's march to attack Russia, and a thrilling series of pictures, naval and aerial battles, taken at the time. The Radical journals .attack the film, dcclaring that the employment of trick photography has made possihle a gigantic trick film, which ought to be entitled "The Vanquisbpd Were Victorious."
