Making Over Nation of spenders

Making Over a Nation of SPenders
It should be borne in mind that
back of this campaign for saving is a
desire on the part of the government
of the United States to convert a
spend-thrift Nation into a Nation of
thrift and saving. Men and women
everywhere, boys and girls, too, not
only are performing a patriotic duty
to their government that will count
toward the winning of the war, but
are sowing the good seed of economy
and thrift that in years to come will
bring forth a harvest of prosperity
and happiness. Let no person get
the idea that the plan is merely a
move to get money from the people
that otherwise come from other sourc-
es and through other methods. 1t is
move for the conservation of hu-
man happiness, for no person really
can be happy and spend all he earns
or can get his hands on. Therefore,
save money Sove for yourself and
let your savings perform a double pa
triotic service by lending it to Uncle
Sam at interest.

peace of war. And when that day
comes we too shall cry out for peace
and rest assured that our cry also
will be heard.
This is the assurance above all
others which We wish to give you We
understand that fear of outside enc
mics which has been deeply craven in
to German hearts by past humilia-
tons and sufferings; we understand
how today your rulers are warning
you that, If you rebel, If sedition and
civil strife appear among you the enc
my will burst the gates and over run
and destroy your land. It may be
we do not know-that among your
enemies here are ruling castles and
privileged classes sufficiently greedy
and INSCRIPTIONS to be willing to in
wade and ravage a Germany made
democratic by internal revolt. But
here is the assurance which comes
to the German people through the
entrance of our great republic into
this war; the assurance that no such
crime against mankind can POSSIBLY
occur. From now on the conduct of
this war depends largely upon Amer
ica-we are paying for 1t, and the ma
tions fighting with US understand it
cannot be won without US. Our presi-
and woman among our many mil
lions, that this shall not be war for
injustice and oppression, but a war
of liberation, and for permanent fair
dealing between states.
Believe Us, sisters, for we know
whereof we speak. There will never
be an invasion or conquest of a re-
voting democratic Germany; No ma
ton will dare attempt it-because
of the certainty of revolt of its own
people, taught by three years of suff-
ering, as well as by the continual
preaching of democracy by states
men, some of whom perhaps did not
always realize the gravity of their
words. Believe US, that if any gov
eminent were to attempt it there
would arise from a hundred million
people of this American democracy
such cry of execration that the rul-
ers of that guilty nation would shake
upon their thrones. Of US women
of America more than six million
have votes; and the rest of US have
voices which We know how to make
| heard. We use them now in appeal
| to you women of Germany for liberty
and for self government in Germany
in the hour of your deliverance we
promise to use them again-to use
them for an end of the slaughter of
mankind, and for justice and truth
telling among nations from this day
forth and forever.-Lincoln (Nebr J

If Lincoln Were Alive

If Abraham Lincoln lived today
his advice would be "Save your mon
ey. and thrive" Lincoln knew the
value of money. He knew the cour-
age necessary to save while others
spent. His greatness came through
a life of frugality and sacrifice. If
Lincoln lived today his advice to the
"great common people" would be:
"Save your Money and THRIVE, or
pay the price in poverty and dis
grace"
1t is time for the American people
to do away with useless buying. Save
and put a share in War Savings
Stamps.

Reports show that the Germans,
who until the recent Foch drives
thought their land immune from the
attacks of the allies, now fear inva-
sion. Residents of the cities and viii
lagos west of the Rhine are beginning
to show signs of alarm for the safety
of their homes. For if the allies,
when they get. into Germany, destroy
with the same ruthless thoroughness
as has Germany in France, the peo-
pie will get taste of their own Hun
methods that will stay with them for
many years.
That is one reason why the Ger
mans will clamor for peace while
their armies are still on allied soil.
And the wantonness with which the
Hun armies have burned cities and
destroyed orchards, Communicated

the motion of train and the shifting
to and from ambulances would be too
much for them are to be placed on
cots, operated on If necessary on a
hospital operating barges, and thence
transferred b ylifts to other hospital
barges which will bring them down
the rivers.
These barges are 100 feet long and
dfaw only about eighteen inches of
water. They have rows of windows
along both sides so that the air and
lighting be perfect-another great SUI
periority over trains or ambulances.
The hospital operating barges will be
equipped with X-ray and Horoscope
apparatus. A great saving of life is
expected as a result of the new sys-
TEN.

mans fear channel offensive by the
allies, aimed at freeing the channel
ports from another German attack
and at the some time cleaning out the
submarine nests established on the
Belgian, coast.
| The Germans are not expected to
give up their Belgian ports without
strong resistance. They no longer
hold their Importance in the same
light as a year ago, however. Reports
reaching here from Germany show
that there is much feeling IN Germany
that the unrestricted submarine war
fare not only failed to end the war
with a Potsdam victory, but by in
volving the United States in the great
conflict smashed the hope forever of
German successes by force of arms.
REIMBURSEMENT of the U-boat bases
by the Germans will make it all the
easier for the Americans to send
troops to France at the rate of 5000
month and to have the promised
army of 100000 ready for battle by
next July.
The channel offensive probably will
be handled by Gen. Haig and the Brit

GERMAN PRISONER OF WAR
FLEES TO U. s., MARRIES

Boston Assistant United States
District Attorney Judd Dewey ques-
toned August Ferdinand Dannenfeldt,
an escaped German prisoner of war,
recently. Dannenfeldt was held at a
French prison after the battle of the
Marine in 1916, managed to escape, and
came to the United States as a stow
away on the steamer Kansan.
He informed Mr.. Dewey that since
his arrival in the United States, more
than two years ago, he had married
Miss Marie Peter, an American girl,
who lives on Catherine street, Spring
field. In speaking of his experience
at the battle of the Marine, the prison.
er said he was wounded in one leg
and that he bandadged his own in
jury and remained in barns and sheds
for three days with 500 other wound
ed Germans
Five days after he was wounded he
was taken prisoner by the French,
who captured the town He said he
was given proper medical treatment
by the French physicians. Damien
feldt said that the Germans who were
injured at the battle of the Marine, and
were with him in sheds and barns
were treated by two German physi-

leased from the internment camp he
intends to make his home in the Unit
ed States, as he has already taken
out his first papers of naturalization.
