War is the Biggest Part of the Daily Life of Every One of Us -- November 3, 2018

Moving Picture World, 23-November-1918
The United States joined the First World War in April, 1917. Learning from the British, the United States put its propaganda efforts into the hands of one organization, the Committee on Public Information, also called the Creel Committee, after its chairman, George Creel. The Creel Committee produced the "Official War Review," a series of weekly one-reelers about war subjects. 100 years ago, World War One was rushing towards its conclusion. The Allies continued their 100 Days Offensive, which pushed the German army back towards the borders. This ad reminds people "War is the Biggest Part of the Daily Life of Every One of Us."

"Great in war, it will still be great in peace times."
