GERMANS REl|TTLt
AMERICAN TROOPS
Great Struggle-C1aim Our Men
Are Not Equal to Task.
DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE UP AGAINST

It appears from news which leaked
out Of Germany. in spite of the UNI
usually close censorship. that the Ger
man officials are telling their men
and women that the American troops
will cut little figure in the big war.
If the German people knew what they
were up against they would refuse to
listen to such foolish assertions.
The funniest part Of II Is that they
claim that Americans can't think quick
enough What a Joke. That's our
reputation--quick to think. The Ger
mans will find that out soon enough.
In the meantime, we at home should
get ready for the big drive.
OF course we all can't go to the
front, but we can do our bit In just
as important a manner right here at
industries OF the nation. till the soil,
work the mines, and keep the ammu-
milton flowing to the front In a steady
