'7he World Must Be Nude Safe For Denoocry

Put every dollar you can spare into a Liberty Bond. Never before could your dollar buy so much. It buys safety for your country, your homes and your children, now and for years to come. It buys life and liberty without taking cent away from you. It fights for us, and pays for the privilege of fighting. It fulflls duty which has the combined rewards of good deed and a good investment.
 For the Second Liberty Loan is the best investment in the world to-day. A Liberty Bond is money which pays you secured income for your home and family. Always safe as gold, always worth its face value. every Liberty Bond, with the end of the war, is sure to be held at premium.
 You men and women with a few dollars r.. invest cu4l pu. them to Hsaing for your

homes at the same time they bring you an income.
 You may buy Liberty Bonds as small as $50 and pay for them by instalments.
 Go to the nearest bank, the nearest post office, the nearest department store, or send to the United States Department for Liberty Bond.
 Other lands of Democracy are making their fight and sacrifices for Democracy.
 The hour of Americas opportunity and privilege strikes. Lend your utmost to your government. Buy her Bonds. Buy, and in buying strike our answer home, that the world may know beyond doubt that Americas War Answer, ''Makes the World Safe for Democracy.

IVAN L|A0W WILL MEET
PAUL MART|kSfN HERE
Match TO BE Staged Next Friday Night
In Academy OF Music Expected to
BE Hummer.

Paul Martinsen, the heavyweight
champion of Denmark. will meet Ivan
Linow In a finish wrestling match in
he Academy OF Music Friday night.
1t Is such as to Justify the prediction
hat he will give the Cossack the most
Eruelling match he has had here since
in series of mills in this city. Mar
tinsen has beaten some OF the best
heavtea on the ma, including Tommy
Draak. Charlie Olsen, Helnar John
son, Youssif Hussane. Friedburg and
John Perelli. who IL known as the
Italian heavyweight champion.
Linow and Martinsen have met be-
fore, without a decision, however, the
match going to an hour and q half
draw before the Chicago Athletic
club, neither man gaining a fall. Press
accounts OF the match declare that the
men were more evenly matched than
any two heavyweights that had ap-
pered in the Windy City in recent
years. Papers describing the affair
said both men were rough custom
ers,' which may mean that the mill
here will be Of a similar character.
1t was only after the hardest sort OF
wrestling and punishment that Linow
as able to win from Hussane here last
week. and Martinssn has to his credit
a triumph over tho Terrible Turk"
1t Is reasonable TO suppose, therefore,
that Linow will have an even harder
time throwing the Dane than he did
IN taking the measure OF Hussane, and
q spirited encounter may be looked
for.

NEW CHICAGO POLICE
HEAD ROMANCE FIGURE

Chicago, March 12.-Probably In
all OF the police annals OF the coun-
try there is no more romantic figure
than that Of Herkman F. Schuettler.
new police superintendent of Chicago.
His second sight has solved more
stranger-than- fiction crimes. surpris-
ed more confessions than LecoQ or
Holmes or Dupin all rolled into one.
His eyes are hypnotic. Hugo Nuns
terberg. the late Harvard professor,
saw and studied them. wrote treauses
about them and ascribed almost oc-
cult powers to them. To Schuettler,
the policeman. this was amusing, but
those eyes still shine through the
ghost stories of the underworld.
or Schuettler's work among GRIM
mails the police of the entire world
know. He Is held up to them A. an
example OF the best developed de-
tective In America. or the anar-
chists of whom he has run afoul there
is not SO much said. but his hattie
with Louis Lingg. one Of the red cir
Gle. is an epic in police history.
Lingg was bomb maker. one Of
the stage managers OF the famous
Haymarket riots buSly youth Of
twenty-three, OF huge htrenEth and
tremendous physique. Schuettier was
a young detective sergeant and then.
as now known as the biggest police
man in America.
Schuettler had trailed the young an
archist to his lair, little house on
Blake road. He walked in alone at
the back door and with his revolver
in his pocket. He found Lngg walt
