text: LA VICTOIRE DE L'AMÉRIQUE
CHATIMENT, c'est le mot que le président Wilson, à la face de l'Univers, a proclamé; c'est celui que répètent les Américains, Chtiment de
l'Allemagne spoliatrice, chtiment des Hohenzollern.
Depuis des mois, ce mot fatidique courait les villes de l'Union, entrait dans les yeux du peuple, éclatait sur les murs, flambait en
lettres de feu, le long des avenues.
CHATIMENT, M. Th. INCE l'a crié à ses compatriotes ce mot inéluctable. Il leur a montré, emblème saisissant, le malheur d'un peuple
opprimé, l'enfer d'une race assaillie par le complot infme des Turcs et de Allemands, l'infortune de l'Arménie.
Les Américains ont frémi, ont compris, ont suivi. Grande victoire de la conscience.
CHATIMENT, ce mot et cette histoire nous reviennent à présent. Ils ont accompli leur besogne de persuasion là-bas; ils vont sceller ici la
résolution magnanime qui lie désormais les deux grandes Républiques.
CHATIMENT, Symbole de la mission de liberté des démocraties, Annonciation de la Victoire.
CHATIMENT est le plus Grand Succès Cinématographique

[America’s victory. 'Chatiment' [Punishment]. It is the word that President Wilson, standing up to the world, proclaimed; it is the word
the Americans repeat, punishment of despoliatory Germany, punishment of the Hohenzollerns. For months this fateful word has been running
through the towns of the Union, entering the eyes of the people, crying out from the walls, flaming in letters of fire, along the avenues.
Punishment, Mr. Th. Ince called this unavoidable word out to his fellow countrymen. He showed them, as an arresting emblem, the misery of
an oppressed people, the hell of a race assaulted by the dastardly plotting of the Turks and the Germans, the misfortune of Armenia.The
Americans trembled, understood, followed. A great victory of conscience. Punishment, this word and this story come back to us now. They
have carried out their task of persuasion over there; here they are going to seal the magnanimous resolution that now links the two great
Republics. Punishment, the symbol of the mission of the freedom of democracies, the annunciation of victory. 'Chatiment' is the Greatest
Cinematographic Success. L. Aubert Establishments [address]. Purchase, sales and hire of films. L. Aubert Establishments
