Showing Pokes the war news in the day's paper, Jabs suggests that he (Pokes) lay in a profitable stock of munitions. Pokes is further inspired by conscripts full of the war spirit coming to him to ask for uniforms. He lays in a supply and business becomes brisk. Suddenly Pokes is called to the front as their commanding officer. In many thrilling skirmishes at the front Pokes is singled out by the enemy. A new invention, a chasing bomb overtakes Pokes, and blows him into the enemy's camp, where he fights a hand to hand battle with the champion of the foe. His troops, witnessing the conflict from afar, decide to rescue him. A lasso is thrown to snare the foe, but Pokes is caught instead and dragged over rock and rill - until he awakes and finds Jabs pulling his necktie to rouse him to another war bulletin. Pokes, after his dream, is through with war, and decides that Sherman was right. Written by Moving Picture World, July 7, 1917 See less
