NOTHING BUT PROXY SALUTE
But Wounded Officer Appreciated
Kiss That Came With War Cross
That He Had Won.

An officer, writing from hospital
in France tells how French officer
pinned a war cross on his pajamas.
and how, without any warning. one of
the nurses hurried to his bedside and
planted "a nice rosy kiss on the ugly
mug of yours truly" There is no rea-
son to believe that this is love affair.
Doubtless it was proxy kiss-it rep

family.
Fiction nurses have been Of one
kind. In the illustrations they were
strangely beautiful. Always their
hands We're cool and their uniforms
fresh. Some young millionaire had
been picked up and carried to the hos
pital where the nurse fought for his
life-grim death stalking just behind
the door. His identity was not known,
but he was man. wide of shoulder
and small of girth. He had fiat
back and his close-cropped hair was
inclined to be curly. BY and by he
became rational. The first thing he
realized was the cooling touch of the
nurses hand on his feverlsh brow.

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

sinking vessels are shown in the lane
" travel between New York and
France, while I'm the offing are two
U-boats securely nfOat. Opportunity

line for this section of the poster.
The lane of travel In which the boats
are sinking bears this inscription:
'America-Europe. Distance 200 times
greater than from England 10 France
mainland" In Il corner of this sec
lion Of the poster are shown the names
Of Serbia. Montenegro. Italy. ROu-

lined up In the order named under an
other exploding figure representative
Of the European war. and the names
Of all the countries except Italy are
crossed out. indicating that they have
been eliminated from the struggle by
the Huns.
The title of the poster is Can
Americas Entry Make decision of the
War;" Integral sections Of IT 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sia's withdrawn forces; that the Unit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.
Two millions OF the booklets have
been printed and will be distributed
In various parts Of the country. par
ticularly In theaters where Liberty
Loan speakers take the book AS their
text.
Every effort IL made In the wording
and the illustrations of the poster TO
minimize and ridicule the efforts of the
United States In the war. A striking
example Of this is found in the figure
of Uncle Sam, who is pictured as n
cadaverous individual who wears an
American flag with nine stars and five
stripes around his plug hat and smokes
a long -stemmed cob pipe. He also ap-
pears to be wearing spats or dancing
pumps.
The enormous figure of Russian
soldier is the first object on the poster
to strike the eye. He stands with
hands In his overcoat pockets, indica-
tive of the fact that he is through
fighting. Beside him stands Uncle Sam
