  • Beschreibung: In Havana, Cuba, 6,000 factory hands thrown out of work by the effect of the war on trade protest outside the Congress. In Lisbon the Portuguese send troops, shown leaving by ship, to Angola (Portuguese West Africa) in case of an attack from German South-West Africa. In New York a parade led by women demonstrates in favour of immediate peace. The SS Hamburg, bought and equipped by the US Red Cross as a hospital ship, sails from New York for Europe. Italy, proclaiming neutrality in July 1914, sends troops to its mountain borders with Austria-Hungary for training. The troops march through the mountain passes, throwing up a lot of dust. Veterans of Garibaldi's uprising and the unification of 1860 hold a mass gathering to encourage the liberation of Italians within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. An Italian Cavour Class battleship leaves harbour and practises gunnery at sea. Lord Kitchener visits General Joffre and his staff at Compiègne. He is met by Joffre, by General Foch, and by Minister of War Millerand (August 1915). They watch a demonstration from a training trench. Kitchener is also seen in London talking on the steps of a building with the Minister of Munitions, David Lloyd George. British troops (seen from a high angle) marching through a street to the cheers of the crowd, probably in France. British and French soldiers sit together at a rough table behind a lorry, talking and drinking wine. "Meanwhile the German hoards swept through Belgium." Led by their mounted officers men of the German 36th Fusilier Regiment march though a Belgian town, and then rest by the roadside. In reaction, recruiting sergeants of the London Regiment address a London crowd calling for volunteers. The reel ends with a montage of scenes of the Western Front and the British involvement in it, mainly from the later part of the war.
    The effects round the world of the outbreak of the First World War, and its progress into 1915.
