A war drama which develops some phases of modern warfare in the suggestion of wireless telegraphy. The love story woven into it is based upon the usual jealousy of one man because she accepts another, and there is a complication of charges of traitor and the death of the false accuser by a shot from a sharpshooter's rifle. A battle occurs, the lover is wounded. His fiancée, now a nurse, finds him unconscious and succeeds in restoring him to health again. The inevitable wedding follows. If any more exciting and not unpleasant action could be crowded into one picture the producer deserves a special certificate for good work, faithfully performed. This film will be popular. It contains just the kind of action and is based upon just the kind of plot a majority of motion picture audiences delight in, and they testify to their appreciation by close attention throughout and applause at the end. A good war drama of this sort stirs the blood in a healthy way and serves to arouse an audience that may have become partially indifferent because of the monotony of previous pictures. - The Moving Picture World, October 23, 1909
