War Trade Board
Bars 1900 Firms
in Latin America

Washington, Dec. 5.-A blacklist of
1000 firms in twenty Central and
South American countries with whom
merchants of the United States are
forbidden specifically to do business
except under special license, was pro-
mulgated last night by the War Trade
Board. 1t is officially styled enemy
trading list" and constitutes the first
section of a record which eventually
will include the names of firms in
most of the countries of the. world,
including the United States itself.
Latin America is dealt with first
because of the large number of Ger
man firms in the southern republics
active in aiding Germany's cause. Evil
dence put before the War Trade
Board has shown that many of these
firms, including public utilities COM
panies, have financed to a large de-
gree German propag ganda work in the
United States.

War Stamp Talk

Every American should ask him
self this question-What have
done to help my country in the hour
of its need? 1t is not possible for
all of us to go to the trenches and
fight hand to hand withe the enemies
of civilization. 1t is not possible for
all of us to give great sums to aid
in keeping the great war going. What
can l do to help?
Here is the solution: Buy War
Thrift Stamps at rs cents each.
Buy until you have sixteen and then
exchange them for a War Savings
Certificate Stamp. BY this time you
have loaned Uncle Sam S4.00. Now
Uncle Sam says he will give you
something in return for your invest
ment. From the time your invest
ment amounts to $4.00, plus from 12
to % cents, your Investment starts
to bear 4 per cent interest COM
pounded quarterly. You may still
continue to purchase additional
Thrift Stamps and in a short while
you are ready for another Certificate
Stamp bearing interest.
On the first day of January, 1928,
each one OF these stamps will be
worth $500. After you pay for the
stamp you pay no more on that in
Vestment but your interest accrues
from month to month and at matur-
ity you have $500 for what you have
invested. Nothing better to be had
than this proposition offered by your
Government You will be a well
come guest at the post office if you
desire any further information and
the Postmaster will see that you full
ly understand the matter.

WHY GERMANY WANTS PEACE
The weakness in the Pan-German
scheme. even If it can maintain itself
against enemies on the outside, is
naturally to be found in the numbers
and the capacity for resistance of the
subject peoples. German domination
is already detested throughout south
eastern Europe, and explosive possi-
Balkans have long been famous. All
these elements can assuredly be
counted upon to assert themselves at
the opportune moment. and to form
an effective barrier to future German
ambition if they are given a chance
in the reconstruction of Europe. But
the probability of revolt is directly
proportional to the probability of
low upon the simple indispensable
condition of the military defeat of
Germany without that it is absurd
to doubt her ability to dominate the
t'iii i.oiS SHt OCCUPIES. nat ueIedt
may be considered achieved when the
German armies are driven back to
their own frontier. Until that mo-
ment. the very suggestion of peace is
an affront. Germany would be very
happy to go to the peace table, war
map in hand. to be bought out of
France and Belgium. 1t is hard to be
patient with those who, with astound-
ing ignorance of European affairs and
inability to understand German
methods, persist in the belief that
there is a German liberalism ready to
renounce the fruits of conquest and
to retake Germany in democratic
terms. One way. and one way only is
open, and that is to break Germany's
military power.-The Public.

Dr. Russell was called from thu

To-day the league Is splendidly or
ganized in all the states, with national
hea dquarters at WeEterviile. o. where
also it's publishing plant is located.
When the league began It's opera
lions nearly quarter OF a century
ago. there was nightly little dry ter
ritory OF the United states. Today the
nation is almost dry, and one house OF
congress has adopted the nation wide
prohibition resolution. while the 9TH

thing in December.
