MAKE HINDENBURG WHISTLE

According to a well authenticated
story coming from Germany the only
time that Hindenburg ever whistles is
when he is nervous. And up to the
time this story was told it was his
boast that he had not whistled during
the war
Recent events along the Picardy
front have been of a character calcu-
lated to make Hindenburg whistle
whistle some. For his line has been
pierced, his forces have been broken,
his stonewall defense has been
crumbling steadily.
Slowly, his stonewall defense has
been crumbling steadily.
Slowly, relentlessly, the allies,
spurred to new and greater effort by
the inspiring example of our own
Yanks, have been pushing the gray
clad Hun line backward toward the
Rhine. They are still hammering
away at the job.
Now we can all help make linden
berg whistle.
For whatever apprehension linden
berg and the Kaiser may be feeling
at this particular minute, it will be
strengthened a thousand-fold If the
Fourth Liberty Loan goes over the
top with the swearing impetus we are
all hoping to give it.
And it is our specially assigned job
to see that it does
1t is our task TO make the boys in
the trenches, not only the Yanks but
all the others in the allied ranks, feel
that we are with them to the last pen
ny. That while they are fighting we
are sending along our iron men" to
back them. up. Shells and big guns
and rifles and grades and airplanes.
Everything.
Above all to bring this fact home
to the Prussian dictators.
Germany isn't half so cook-sure as
she was year ago that kultur is des-
tined to rule the world under her
guiding hand. She isn't half so conf
dent of the result getting qualities of
German efficiency, She isn't by any
means so certain of the ultimate
triumph of German arms.
Germany has been rudely shocked.
The Kaiser has been previously disap-
pointed. Hindenberg has been
Inverted at every point.

tie 1.-THE Watch on the Rhine"
