...which, although the photography is somewhat blurred, it is possible to see a real bayonet go through a real soldier; a squad of U. S. infantry going over the top into machine gun fire; a zeppelin picked out by searchlights over England; a chaplain walking through an evacuated battleground, making rapid gestures over minced bodies. There are good sequences of Italian soldiers scampering wildly in retreat across a bridge under shell fire; prisoners lolling about and scratching themselves in a barbed wire paddock; the bombardment of Ypres; a German officer burning his tongue on a spoonful of soup in Brussels...

The primary election was to be held Feb. 24, their battleground was the Loop, their prize the honor of being the city's First Citizen during the Century of Progress (1933). Their hooligan antics, their vulgar language blanketed other reasonable is sues, obscured other candidates...
