Then, the Red-Cross nurse administering to the wounded in the trenches of France. Later we see the spirit of America as she guards her fighting men. In the last scene of the act we realize that a day of peace is dawning, and the armistice of November 11. 1018. is celebrated by a peace dance. Act 5 is the great climax where the Spirit of Liberty appears,
