lessly inferior both In the number Of
cannon he can bring into action aud
the supply Of shells he can deliver to
them. The situation In 1915, when the
allied soldiers had to endure constant
shelling to which their own guns could
not reply, has now been reversed. Brit
ish soldiers are genuinely sorry for the
German infantry today, for they re-
member what they went through two
years ago, and they know how 1t feels.
Early In 1916 the cannon and shells
began piling up on the right side Of
the lines, and British staff officers
think that approximately in August Of
that year In the middle of the Somme
battles, an equilibrium was reached
and the allies and the Germans were
about equal In fire power. Since that
time the allies, thanks In no small de-
gree to the efforts of America, have
been drawing steadily ahead. There
is now no comparison; were 1t possi-
BILE to give figures which have seen,
they would astonish the most optimis-
tic.
In the infantry fighting the Germans
have also been placed under terrible
disadvantage, quite apart from the
heavier shelling they have to endure.
Thanks to the possession Of the strate-
gical initiative-a formidable term
that simply means the allies are fore
ing the fighting and compelling the
Germans to devote all their energies to
defense-the allies are able to at
tack when and where they please.
This means that they can prepare as
carefully and as long as they like for
an attack, and, with good luck, keep
the Germans guessing until it is actu-
ally launched as to the point Of i'm
pact.

LIBERTY BONDS
PREFERRED STOCK

Likening the United States TO g
great corporation with more than q
hundred million stockholders and with
capital stock and resources Of more
than two hundred and fifty billions Of
dollars, and an annual income Of fifty
billions Of dollars, each American cit
izen is stakeholder in this great cor
poration. Even those whose only as
sets are their earning capacity own
shares in OUR public domain and prop
crty and are working on profit shar-
ing basis with vote and a voice in
the management Of the corporation
and with the right to acquire more
stock at any time.
A Liberty Loan Bond may be liken-
ed to share Of preferred stock in this
gigantic corporation. Like preferred
stock in other corporations it may
not return, at times, SO large adv
idend as common stock, but the div
idend from it is certain and sure. 1t
is stock that pays 3 1-2 per cent div
ldend but the stock and dividend can
not be taxed and while crop failures |
may decrease the farmers dividend |
from his land some years TO less than |
and various causes may les
sen or destroy dividends from all other
sorts of property, the dividend from
the Liberty Loan Bond is certain and
sure, subject TO no failure or dininu-
lion.
The owner Of Liberty Loan Bond
holds written tangible evidence of be-
ng a preferred stock holder in the
United States, the greatest, the most
glorious, the most honorable and the
most successful corporation in the
world He holds the certificate of be-
ng citizen willing to support his

There is honor in being the owner of
Liberty Loan Bond as well as profit.

They tried to incite Mexico to take
up arms against us and to draw ia

They impudently denied US the use of

GERMAN VIEW OF
AMERICAN ARMY
Doubtful Whether U. S. Will
Send Force to Europe, De.
clares Maj. Hoffre.

Amsterdam. Oct 1.-THE Weser
Zeitung (Bremen) publishes an article
by Major Hoffe. Of the German general
staff. on the effect the entrance Of the
United States will have on the war.
After reviewing the difficulties Of the
United States in training and trans
porting troops to Europe. he declares
that the American military possibili-
ties may safely be ignored by Ger
many.
Before the declaration Of war;" he
says. "the military resources of the
United States consisted Of an in
sufficiently trained regular army of
only one hundred thousand and a ma
tional guard Of 100000, hardly trained
at ALL The various measures taken to
increase the army win result in the
formation by spring Of an army of
about 100000. which has only re-
ceived minimum training.
mo considerable part of this army can
reach Europe before summer. while. In
any case. a large number must be retained
at home: so that not more than 100000 or
5oO, 900 men can be sent to Europe. The
transport difficulties will be enormous.
Two and half million tons Of shipping
will be necessary to transport and supply
sixteen divisions, and the total American
shipping. even allowing for conflscated
ships and new construction, will by spring
be only 100000 of which the navy re-
quires 100000.
ANY extensive transport of American
troops would cause serious difficulties in
supplies to England and France. 1t must
also be remembered that the U-boats are
sinking more and more ships daily.
Finally. the fighting value OF the
American troops Is not great. probably
about equal to that Of the Roumanians,
and there certainly will be fewer of them
than Of Roumanians. So Germany will
have an easy task. In fact it is doubtful
whether the Americans will risk the ven-
ture of sending an army to Europe at all.
1.-The only American help to be seriously
reckoned with is in the air. Filters can be
quickly trained and easily transported. but
the German command has taken all neces-
sary measures to meet this danger. The
new enemy directs his efforts less against
the Germany army than against the
nerves of the German people and against
the internal unity of Germany"
