Yahk, B.C. Hauling Logs in B.C. Men pile logs on a horse-drawn cart. Load is eased downhill, held in check by a mechanical apparatus supervised by an operator. The horse-drawn cart carrying the logs is attached to a small machine by ropes. A man controls the machine. It contols the load by means of a series of pulleys. The cart reaches the bottom of the hill. At the bottom of the hill, other men unload the logs from the cart, and prepare to load logs into freight cars to be taken to the mills. ~New York City: Everybody takes a hand at the city's snow shovel -- soldiers help in clearing thoroughfares of the heavy 14-inch snowfall. Soldiers and civilians are shown shovelling some of the snowfall as trucks cart loads of it away. Civilians clear a sidewalk. A man in chef's clothing shovels snow. Trucks filled with snow pull away. Army trucks are called into service. Two shots of a truck ploughing. The unusual cold snap leads the Commissioner of Parks to distribute wood to the city's needy.

There is a close-up of a young man looking over the shoulder of an officer, who is filling out a form. ~El Paso, Texas: Pershing at the Border again! Mexican border veterans welcome their old chief as he arrives on a visit to his home port. Cavalry officers gallop towards the camera. A mounted military band plays as troops march by Generals Pershing and Howze. With General Howze, he reviews the men he once commanded, in the Pershing Expedition into Mexico. General Pershing is in the left foreground, as troops march and ride past in the background. Mounted soldiers race by in clouds of dust. A wagontrain, with two wagons being towed by First World War Renault tanks, moves by the reviewing stand. Small tanks pull two wagons. Pershing visits San Antonio, mingles with the crowd, is shown seated in the back of an open car and from Kelly Field watches two flights of planes fly past in formation against heavy cloud cover. Pershing watches from the open car.~Rockaway Point, New York. Steamer aground in storm. Over 100 lives are in danger as Princess Anne is stranded on sandbar in 10 feet of water. Footage, from shore, shows the large cargo ship listing in the water. A second shot from a different angle, shows the ship's name, Princess Anne, New York. An intertitle reads "Exclusive scenes of the transfer of passengers from life-boats t the police boat Patrol"; footage shot from the Patrol shows two lifeboats approaching. There is a close shot of passengers being helped aboard. Food supplies are rushed to the crew of the stranded vessel. A long shot shows the Princess Anne and a small rowboat which is moving away from the ship. Shot of the small boat pulling alongside. Large barrels are loaded into the rowboat from the Princess Anne.
