AUSTRIA HAS
FAKE APPEAL
IN WAR LOAN
Promises Immense Loot
- Taken Somewhere on
Western Front.

= Austria . appeal for subscriptions to
her recent eighth war loan contained
ssne peculiar features. according 70
bohemian newspapers just received
In washington. In Its zeal to squeeze
further contributions from the people.
the A1strian government took the
task Of promising big premium re-
wards, TO be paid out Of booty cap
tursd from the enemy.
''Everyone feels that our cause Is
succesdins," says the proclamation
Of the Imperial government. "and the
days Of anxiety. when we were In
danger from all sides. is past The
eighth war loan Is subscribed In the
emblem Of the olive. branch"
The appeal then goes on TO describe
the selxire of immense loot some
where on the Eastern front. The gov
eminent admits that no catalogue or
the treasures can now be given out.
but promises that every bit OF IL
shall be distributed solely to people
who subseripe to the eighth loan. All
kinds Of clothing. crockery, machinery
and, supplies are said TO be stored up.
waiting to be transported to Austria
-,Ainost Every Kind Of Loot.
Everything Of which a man can
think is at the disposal Of subscribers
10 the Eighth Loan" says the
proclamation. everything from cup
to a shirt; from an automobile nail to
a thraser; from silk goods to furni-
turs; from can Of paint to a rail-
road: in short. which cannot be depict
ed, will be offered solely to subscrio-
ers to the Eighth Loan"
This amazing document was posted
at the headquarters for the propaga-
ton. Of the war loan in the governors
once Of the Kingdom OF Bohemia. By
imperial order. II had to be published
in all the Bohemian newspapers. II Is
easy to imagine the Indignation Of the
Czeehoslovaks at this new effort to
mulct them in order to wage war on
their brothers and cousins in the
czechosiovak legions.

who took cover behind the embank-
ments Of the Arras-Amiens railroad.
Gen. March also gazetted the first
and second American divisions, the
first Of which in one engagement
captured sixty-eight guns and took
$500 prisoners. and the second took
ten complete German batteries which
they brought on and presented to
Gen. Pershing.
Fake Blind Soldier Yarn.
Gen. March showed yesterday that
the story that thousands Of blind
American soldiers are being brought
to Paris Is false. Gen. Pershing has
heard that a circular is being sent
around the United States asking peo-
pie to buy picture for the nslp o..
the blind. The fact is, according to a
special courier from Gen. Pershing
who has reached the War Depart
ment. that there were only two blind
soldiers in, Paris UP to August 3.
1t was announced at the conference
that Gen. March has ordered back
from France certain men who have
distinguished themselves there. These
will be given increased rank in the
divisions which are being formed
here. Gen. March said that these re-
turning men all paid high tribute to
the valor of the American troops.
Gen. March also paid high tribute to
the troops abroad, and observed that
anyone who had served with them
and knew them as he had would be
inspired with the utmost confidence
in their spirit and personal bravery.
Some Questions.
The newspaper men asked Gen.
March some questions, which were
answered as follows:
Are the Eighty-third and Thirty
seventh Divisions in the Fourth Army
Corps?'
The Eighthy-third Division Is in
the Fifth Corps, and is a replacement
division not up on the fighting line
The Thirty-seventh Division Is In the
Fourth Corps, and Is on the line IN the
Baccarat sector"
Where is the Twenty-ninth Divi-
sion located?"
The Twenty-ninth has now lspded.
and Is in training In France in the
rear Of the line"
Can you give the present location
Of the Fifty-first Infantry Regiment"
That regiment belongs to the Sixth
Division and Is in the training sector.
1t has not yet reached the 'front.'
Can you tell US how far the or
ganization Of the first army has pro-
gressed?"
Gen. Pershing has not reported
anything further than that he was
organizing a field army and taking
personal command Of it,

constantly at war with Roman

| The modern 1imes' which the ad-
vocates of this project in Germany
visualize would be a fortified line

quarters of Germanys armed

The project of course preciudes
every thought OF future German

"By means of economic agreements

ers could, despite the continuance Of
the war. create a well-founded basis
OF transition from war to peace. They
could bring about the so far neglect
ed production of raw materials in the
Eastern countries to its utmost
height and thus. partially at least.
lead commerce and industry back into
the channels OF peace.
Naturally even this Times idea
would not create, an ideal situation
for the central powers. Its chief ad-
vantage would lie in calmly awaiting
the development OF things"
It is doubted now here that such q
scheme would be Germany's ultima

ish crew and a British armed naval
guard and was conveyed by British
warships.
The use of British ships to carry
American troops has been limited at
recently in connection with decision
of the supreme war council to make
every effort to increase General
Pershing's army.
Navy department officials have be-
lieved that the Germans might con
centrate their submarines on ships
transporting American troops and the
recall of many submarines TO their
bases recently was interpreted as pre-
liminary to such a campaign. De
spite the most careful plans, navy
men say, there is always a chance Of
troop ship stumbling upon a subma-
rine and the general belief here is
that this is what happened off the
Irish coast.
