Rev. T.B. Gregory said: 'I don't believe the American lives who could see this wonderful film without feeling that unpreparedness is a CRIME. If I were a rich man i would make Thos. Dixon a present of a million dollars just for the one scene in which the Hon. Plato Barker meets the brutal invaders of our country with pink tea words of love and peace- and is set to peeling potatoes for his idiocy. the great audience recognizing in the Hon. Barker a likeness of WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, came pretty near lifting the roof off the building.' (Print Ad- Newburgh Journal, ((Newburgh NY)) 2 December 1916)
