General decorating officers in a line, including a Moroccan who has to be supported by someone behind him. Biplane in background behind crowds (51ft). WAR WEDDING ROMANCE The marriage of Sir John Lees and Miss M. Pelly at St Peter's, Eaton Square. The bride's sister married Sir John Lees' brother who was killed in the Dardanelles.

GERMAN BLUFF Part of the film issued by the German Government to Neutral Nations illustrates the 'kindness' of the Hun soldier to the Belgian women and children. Of course this scene is carefully acted for the camera. A Belgian family (parents and two girls) is met on the road by two German soldiers. One inspects the papers of the father and the other makes friends with the two girls and gives them something (chocolate?). The family then pass along their way (34ft). THE HUN'S CONSCIENCE The murderers of Nurse Cavell deem it necessary to show how they are regarded by the inhabitants of the countries they have invaded. 'A guilty conscience needs no accusing'. A Belgian woman, her husband and small daughter come out of their house with a German soldier who gives them assurances and chalks a message in German (stating that the people living there are 'good people') on the outside of the door, with the admiring approval of the family (73ft).
