HOW GERMANS ARE DELUDED
Ridiculous Statements Made by Kali
ser's Government Prove How Real
Is Fear of America.

A poster recently issued by the inn
perial German government in an effort
to belittle the participation of America
In the war and thus strengthen the
morale of her people form the text of
one of the most striking pieces of litera-
ture that the bureau of publicity Of
the war loan organization has prepared
for use in the Forthcoming Fourth Lib
erty loan.
The title of the poster is Can
Americas Entry Make decision Of the
WARP" Integral sections of 1t attempt
to convince the reader that Americas
army cannot take the place of Rus
sia's withdrawn forces; that the Unit
ed States cannot build enough ships
to have any effect ON the result Of the
war, and that the U-boats will destroy
virtually all the ships that America
can build when those ships at
tempt to cross the ocean. A French
poster also Is reproduced in the Ger
man poster and the meaning so twisted
as to make 1t appear that France is
very badly in need of food.
Two millions of the booklets have
been printed and win be distributed
in various parts Of the country, par
ticularly in theaters where Liberty
Loan speakers take the book as their
text.
The enormous figure of Russian
soldier is the first object on the poster
to strike the eve. He stands with
hands in his overcoat pockets, indica-
tive Of the fact that he Is through
fighting. Beside him stands Uncle Sam
holding small figure, designed to
represent the United States army, In
his right hand. In his left hand Uncle
Sam carries a banner which bears the
Inscription, America threatens to
send transport of one-half million men.
But 1t cannot ship them!" Below
Uncle Sam are these words: 1T Is
impossible for America to train and
fit out in time for the European war a
suitable and sufficiently large army
and provide 1t with the necessary re-
endorsements" The catchline Of this
section of the poster is "Russia's army
Of millions could not down Germany"
and on the skirt of the Russian sol
diers overcoat are printed these
words Russia used up altogether
fifteen million, men in vainl J"

Acid-stomach kills Hope, Ambition.

millions weak, unfit and brings on pre-.

Millions of people are weak and unit,

They don't seem dangerously sick.
Just ailing. Going through life weak.
listless, dragging one foot after another.
They're nervous and irritable; lack pow

attacks of binding, splitting headaches;
subject to fits of melancholia and men

stomachs are out of order, even though
many experience no actual stomach
pains--digestion poor--never getting
anywhere near the full strength from
their food.
So, you see. it's Just this--acid stom-

PRISONERS DETERMINED TO HAVE LAMPS
(From Wednesdays Dailv.)


 Standing over on Sheriff JoC Young's desk is a collection of about a dozen crude, makeshift lamps whicf were seized the other day when tho deputies made a search of the cells 1T the county jail the lamps having teen manufactured by some of thu
 jail inmates so that the cell house could be surreptitiously lighted at night after the electric current has been turned off at the rrescribec hour. The rules of the institution forbid the occupants having lamps or candles in their possession, but regu
 lations notwithstanding, the boys manage to fix up crude lighting de. vices which will give fairly good ser vice until some enterprising deputy sheriff happens to sneak in at night and confiscate the homemade lamp.
 The prisoners can make lamp out of almost any sort of can, bottle oi container that happens to fall into their hands. Tn the collection seiz- ed recently were several which had been made from bottles and salt and Tepper shakers. For a wick the men use either a strand pulled out of 2 mop or strip of blanket or possibly a lot of twine braided together A hole is punched through the opening and the bottle billed with some of the disinfectant oil which is supplied tc, the prisoners to kill off the cootie, with. When the cotton wicks are sat urated with this oily substance, a small flame of about the size of al candle flame can be coaxed into ac- ton, and with the aid of these small lights, the men can read or do what they please to entertain themselves They have plenty of matches. there being no ban on these in the jail be- cause they are a necessary part of the smoking outfits which are allow ed the inmates. Because the men are continually manufacturing these small lamps, a constant search of the cells is kept up by the jailers, and an effort is made by the prison authori- lies to issue the men just enough of the oil to keep the jail tolerabiy ire, of cooties so that prisoners will need all of the oil for its regular uses and rot have any to waste by using it as m illuminant

DEVOTEES OF THE GOD OFLOVE MUST KEEP OFF STREETS AFT FER 9:30 SAYS THE FLINT-HEART- ED POLICE CHIEF.
(From Fridays Daily)

In order to put a sizeable crimp into the promiscuous "spoonEg' which seems to be the chief outdoor sport of large percentage of the youthful element of the community both civilian and military-Chief of Police Bloom yesterday afternoon is- sued orders that hereafter no more ve-making, even of the mildest sort, would be permitted on the streets or n the plaza after 9:30 at night, and all offenders who are unlucky enough 10 be rounded up will find out that the chief is not kidding when he says that this sort of thing must stop.
 The first persons to feel the weight 0f the chiefs order were two young couples who were nabbed Wednesday night at a late hour on one of the main corners of the city The girls. who appeared to be about 16 years of 7ge. were being escorted about the streets by two soldiers from the post. Chief Bloom had an idea that the yir1s would be whole lot better off f they were at home, and he went over and suggested to them that it would be mighty fine thing for hem to shake" their soldier friends and beat it for the family roof tree. Both of the young women apparent w resented this suggestion, and told he chief to run around the block couple of times. The boys in khaki ,lso bristled up and told Mir. Bloom and his assistant that the girls would 20 home when they got good and -eady.
 Bloom, however, resented any mili- tarv interference, coming from pri- -ates at least. and informed the sol- Hers that if they didn't make a run Cor the fort instanter, he would lock hem in the city jail and then call the ,on1nandant to come and have look ,t them the following morning. Both 1f the bows took the hint and disap- 7eared. while the girls were escorted Q their homes, both in fearful and lefiant mood
 It is understood that there have been many complaints registered with Chief Bloom regarding the conduct If certain youthful residents of the ,itv. some of the complaints involv- ng some of the men stationed at the 1ost. and the police believe that some
 teps should be taken to prevent hesc unfortunate conditions from continuing. The cutfew law will be uvoked in crder to keep the younger clement off the streets and out Of he parks at unseemly hours, but how he older bunch can be corraled IS still something of an uncertainty.

YAVAPAI GHOST STILL
 HAUNTS COCONINO
(Prom Thursdays Daily.)

''I am back in the county seat Of Yavapai in an official capacity in an endeavor to untangle another in
 teresting tax question which again
 has arisen between the two counties. To be explicit as we'll as candid,
 Coconino is weary of being sidetrack- ed and disregarded so far as receiv-
 ing certain payments due from its old
 mother" said s. s. Acker yesterday, treasurer of Coconino county.
 Dwelling at considerable length on his mission to Prescott, he stated in opening up the controversy. that those old Prescott & Arizona Central railway bonds, like Banquo's ghost, will not down, and it is his purpose to begin at once to delve into records of the Yavapai treasurer to ascertain what the actual financial situation will reveal in this old-time tax con troversy, in which his county came out holding the sack for Yavapai to the tune of Sl590O059 of bond IS sue by Yavapai of S29o.0OO. for the construction of the defunct road from Seligman to Prescott in 1887. When Coconino slipped away from Yavapai in 1891. it bore its burden of the bonded debt, as above given, and since that memorable day, Treasurer Acker stated yesterday, the financial shoe is beginning to pinch and that on June l, 1918. Coconino had paid in interest alone on her proportion of the bonded railroad debt, over S236,0O0 and now is beginning to | squeal for her share of public land money which is due from Yavapai. . and a certain proportion of which . is asked, to tighten the heavy load which the offspring of Yavapai ha, been diligently carrying without a in its railroad obligation alone for over 2o years.
 Continuing Mir Acker said: "I am going out of office on January 1, next and SO is your board of supervisors. ! am here to get at the marrow or
