Must Battle On.

Amsterdam (via London), Aug. q
Emperor William, according to tele-
gram received here today from Ber-
lin, has issued the following procla-
nation to the German forces on land
and sea:
Comrades, the second year of the
world war has elapsed. Like the first
year it was for Germany's arms a
year of glory. On all fronts you in
flicted new and heavy blows on the
enemy.
Whether the enemy retreated,
borne down by the force of your at
tacks, or whether, reinforced BY
good assistance collected and pressed
into service from all parts of the
world, he tried to rob you of the
fruits of former victories, you always
proved yourselves superior TO him.
Even where England's tyranny was
urcontested, namely, on the free waves
of the sea, you victoriously fought
against gigantic superiority. Your
ka.ser's appreciation and your CRATE
full country's proud admiration are
assured to You for these deeds. for
your unshaken loyalty, for your bold
daring and for your tenacious brav-
cry.
Like the memory Of dead heroes,
your fame also will endure through
all time. The laurels which our ever
confident forces have won against
the enemy in spite Of trials and dam
gers are inseparably linked with the
devoted and untiring labor at home.
This strength at home has sent
an ever-fresh inspiration to the ar
mics in the field. 1t has continual
ly quickened our swords; has kindled
Germany's enthusiasm and has terri
fled the enemy. My gratitude and
that Of the Fatherland are due the
ration at home.
"But the strength and will Of the
enemy are not yet broken.
"We must continue the severe strug
gle in order to secure the safety Of
our beloved home land, to preserve the
honor of the Fatherland and the great
ness of the empire.
whether the enemy wages war
With the force of arms or with cold,
calculating malice, we shall continue
as before into the third year Of the
war. The spirit of duty to the Faith
erland and an unbending will to vic.
tory permeate our homes and our
fighting forces today as in the first
days of the war.
: with Gods gracious help ! an
convinced that your future deeds vii
equal those Of the past and present.
"Main headquarters.

Whak is meant by the big bonus pc

riod? The big bonus period is the
same schedule and the extra votes that
were given during the first period of
the campaign.
For every club of $4,000 in subscrip-
tions of any length of time turned in
to the campaign office by nine Satur-
day night, April 18th, bonus good
for 100000 votes will be given in addi-

No candidate in the race can af-
ford to slacken their efforts now and
especially when so many votes can be
nassed for such a small amount of
business. The real genuine old time
campaign work is what is required
now. If you want to be successful and

(By United Press Association

New York, April 12.-Richard Hard
ign Davis, noted war correspondent
and author is dead. Davis dropped
dead from heart failure while talking
over the telephone at his home Mount
Kisco last night it was learned today.
Davis was receiving a telegram O.
yer the telephone when stricken about
$50 o'clock and died before medical
aid could be summoned.
The author was about his home thru
out yesterday apparently feeling very
we'll although he has been in poor
health for two weeks.
He was born in Philadelphia in 1864
and was 81 years old at the time of his
death.
He began his career as a newspa-
per reporter and attracted attention
by his magazine writings and some
of his short stories are considered
models of literature. A number of
his works have been dramatized.

last night, you must get results as you
work, Tell your friends that if they
put you off now that it will be too
late that you must have the business
in by Saturday night to take advan-
tage of the last big vote offer
Don't be too confident about your
standing. There are several in the
race for the $4,000 and all have
good chance to win out, but only one
can win and that one will be the one
who plugs after subscriptions to the
last minute.
Make every effort count. Work up
to the last minute. Work where YOU
are sure of success. Don't waste your
time now over dead prospects. The
time is too short to fool away. Work
fast and sure.
Remember, April 18th nothing do
