comes Morale Displayed by Ger
mans Early in the War.

The German Crown Prince has been
siven a six months vacation, accord
ng to dispatches received by way OF
amsterdam. His beaten armies have
| )een showed back long way from
Paris and the heir to the German
hrone has been retired, at least tenn
lorarily, from his command The
! lighting Americans, backed up by the
Liberty Loans, have already accom-.
olished so much in the job of whip
ping the Kaiser.
America has chance to shove the
! Crown Prince even farther back into
private life. With the Fourth Liberty
Loan opening September 2S the
massed avalanche Of American dol
ars will again hit the Hun line.
Since the Third Loan was made the
I Allies have stopped the German Of
;ensive, saved Paris and are now
| slowly but surely showing the Hun
armies back toward the Rhine.
Kaiser Losing Caste.
! Undoubtedly the quick subscription
Of the Fourth Liberty Loan will cast
gloom over Germany. Reports COM
ing from that country indicate that
the Kaiser is losing some of the old
popularity that made him an idol.
| Reports from neutral countries and
articles in the German papers show
| that the Huns are cheering their peo-
/ pie by telling them that the Americans
are not intellectually in the war.
| They have claimed that Americans
would never be able to land a big
army in France Now that the army
is there, the Hun generals are telling
the people that America will fail to
| furnish the money to support that
army and give il food and ammuni-
ton. Any indication that Americans
are failing to buy Fourth Liberty
Bonds will have a wonderfully cheer
ing effect on the German General
/ Staff Sucn news would please these
arrogant Huns better than a report
that they had captured a division Of
4! French, English or American soldiers.
Hun Watches America.
The Huns know that America has
the money and the men to carry the,
war right up TO the gates of Berlin.
What the Kaiser is now hoping is that
American people will be careless or
Indifferent about furnishing the money
that is to keep the United States army
ready and fit to fight. His spies that
have net been captured and Jailed are
busy They are watching the situa-
ton in every part of this country.
Sooner or later their reports reach
The master spy in Berlin and the Prus-
| sian war lords are nightly pleased
when they can mark off certain spot
in the United States as having failed
to do it's duty to it's national govern
ment.
What the German general staff
would like to see would be an Ameri-
can army in France, cut off from this
country by means of the submarines.
They would like to See it weakened
and starved SO it could be cut to
pieces by German forces. Lack Of
money to support the American army
WIFI cut It of from this country just
as much as though all our transports
and freighting ships were being sunk
by submarines. The American dollar
that is not used in buying Fourth Lib
erty bonds is Stacker dollar and it
is helping to cut off the American
boys who are over there from the help
ard the needed support back home.
