BERLIN LIES AND
 GERMANY'S LIARS
Poison Tongue Quite As Yirulent
 As Poisonous Gases
(By Porter Elm erson BrowneD

When the Germans let loose upon the world their poison gas and their liquid fire, the world, against. thought that the end had been reached.
 ht had not. For since that tina have these same Germans found. and 1ethal weapon-a weapon alike as yelled at it is deadly, as noxious as it is effective, and quite in keeping with the absolute negation of ethics, or morals of decency, of humanity that has marked Germany's warfare from the Belgian iatnocties down to tho present date.
 And this new weapon is lies.
 Throughout this country, as we'll as throughout the countries of the allies. Germany has flung her serried lines of erman liars. All kinds of ways, from the 42-centimeter lie that no one be- HeVeS down to the dumdum lie that makes a, little hole going in and a big one coming out and the chlorine lie that you don't even know is a lie until you find that you are overcome to a point where some friend has to give you the restorative of truth.
 There is the direct lie, and the richochet There is the nitroglycerin lie that explodes itself when it hits; and the time-fuse lie that doesn't go off for week or so. There are lies on the land, in the air, on the sea ,and under the sea.
 And all these lies, effective and in effective, big and little, are directed against each of the allied nations to confuse, to distract, to puzzle, to delay. them in the successful prosecution of the war
 The life of an aviator is only 30 hours in the air!''
 And there are aviators who have been flying for three years!
 The Navy is rotten with disease!"
 Maybe so. But you must admit that when it comes to sinking sub marines they do pretty well for a bunch of invalids.
 ''The camps are hotbeds of inn morality!'
 A lie on the face of it. If there were the inclination, there is neither the place nor the opportunity.
 This is not America's war;
New Britain herald., 1918-03-08
Whose war is ii to defend f

Whose war is it to defend the rights of AmeIira and Americans against submarines at sea and pIors on land to present Texas, New Mex leo. and Arizona to Mexico? To say notnlng of blowing up American ships in American harborS, and American factories in American cities?
 All Germany wants is just peace,"
 That's all! A just peace that will give her Poland, Belgium, AIsace- Lorraine, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, Bulgaria, Servia, Roumania, control Of the Baltic and the Black seas and ports on the Mediterranean. A just peace in which she can coordinate her new possessions preparatory to taking another Wallop at the rest of the world. AS her own people have already announced that it is her in tention to do!
 England is making her colonies do all the fighting"
 England lost 120,OOO men-her entire standing army-in the first few months of war. And she is now holding the biggest part of the west orn front and sending troops to Italy besides.
 'The Germans would never try to conquer America"
 Take the English Navy away for :. few weeks and sec! Germany has an- nounced her dream of world power, If America isn't in the world, wher is it?
 These are a few of the Type X lies, or the olhe~ types are tn Z, follow ing Germany is unbeatab4e> so why go against he~" We will never ges troops to Europe in time. We can'd equip our soldiers, We cant feed our soldiers Germany never intends to attack us heres so let's keeD our troops at home to defend Us when she does If we must choose a machine gun for our Army, let us pick one that isn't invented yet. We muse ! have free speeohs it is better to have people talking than doing things.
 Germany undermined Russia with lies Germany undermined Italy with lies She is trying to undermine America with lies
 Don't be fooled. America has, and is- moaainzins, equfpping, and dri4Faf troops She has seeet and 5s sendfat them to Europe, She will give 'en, plenty to wear, plenty to eat, plenty to shoot, and plenty af gans to shees it in She is building a gigantic ice, of alrpianes- She is building d. as>ass ! fleet of destroyers and adding &a heE battleships and cruisers, America Is going to make tha world safe for dem ocracy.

PLEA
is REPUDIATED BY
COAL MINE CHIEF

IA letter 10 Albert ]. Kugier,
general organizer Of the International
Union OF United Brewery and Soft
Drink Workers. Of Cincinnati, Ohio,
Frank harrington, president of the
United Mine Workers Of America, to-
day denied that he urged nationwide
prohibition to stimulate coal produc-
ton. His letter follows:
lam writing this letter to you
to say that press reports to the effect
that had met with President Wilson.
Fuel Administrator GARFIELD. and the
National Coal Operators Association
and urged nationwide prohibition so
that coal production might be in
creased are entirely without any foun-
dalton in fact. AS a matter Of fact,
none of those referred to have asked
for my opinion on the Subject, nor
has my opinion been voluntarily
given. al
in my opinion, allegations to the
effect that coal production Is being
curtailed because of the use OF In
toxicants among the miners are too
absurd to receive serious consldera-
ton.
81 do not assume to speak of the
condition outside of Illinois, but do
feel that can speak authoritiVely
on the condition so far as Illinois is
concerned. and my honest judgment
is that the use of intoxicants among
the miners in Illinois has no hamper
ing bearing on coal production. so
far as this State is concerned, the
real reason for coal shortage is the
inability of transportation companies
TO move the coal from the mines to
the point Of consumption.
MY views on the subject OF coal
shortage, so far as it applies to Ili-
:nois, are fully set forth in my report
to the Illinois miners convention,
which was held in Peoria last Febru-
iary, and copy Of which report is.en-
CLOSED herewith"

BODY FOUND AT
MOXLEYPO|NT
IS WHITE MANS

Examination today showed the
body found between Moxley Point and
Bryan Point to be that of a white
man.
The body was removed to the army
medical museum where an examina-
ton of the bones by DR.. B. H. Lamb
proved conclusively that 1t was q
male and white.
A small hole in the skull at the
base OF the brain. found today by
investigators, is pointed to as an evil
dence of foul play.
The hole was not larg eenOugh to
have been the result OF a pistol
wound. but may have been made by
small. sharp instrument, such as a
nail
Detectives assigned TO the case to-
day secuted the theory that the note
found in a bottle floating near the
spot where the body was found had
any connection with the death of the
man. The note asked the finder to
address Percy Hoover, Company ID.
Fourth Engineers, Camp Humphreys.
Va
Silver hlIings in the lower jaw may
also lead to Identification OF the
corpse, although detectives assert
friends or notwithstanding forward
and reporting a missing man. Tho
body had been so long in the water
that IL is impossible to identify il by
any OF the usual means.

MARINE BACKWASH
OF WOUNDED FILLS
PARIS HOSPITALS
By WEBB MILLER.

PARIS, July 21.-The backWash
from the battle on the American front
is flowing into Paris.
American Red Cross hospitals ace
filling up as cases which can be trans
ported are rushed from the dressing
stations at the front direct to Paris.
All the American hospitals are scenes
OF intense activity. The STATS are
putting up cots on eevry available

While this preparation is going on.
however, hospital officials declare the
number OF casualties. considering the
extent Of the American operations. Is
wonderfully small. But this is the
nrst time our boys have participated
on such a large scale. and the hos
pitdi facilities are taxed.
At twilight yesterday long lines of
American ambulances crawled slowly
along a boulevard in the eastern part
of the city toward the hospitals.
Crowds of promenaders halted and
walked to the edge of the sidewalk.
silently and reverently. military
men saluted each ambulance. Old
men raised their hats. while women
waved handkerchiefs and children
tossed nosegays into the ambulances.
Bandaged Administrations lightly
wounded-waved back. Others smiled
wanly at the demonstration OF affec-
tion.
As the news OF the FranSo-Ameri-
can successes spread through the city
il was h frequent sight to see the
French halt Americans and shake
their hands sometimes kissing them
before the abashed YANKEES could re-
treat.
The American Red Cross Is meet
ing the emergency in a wonderful
manner. Doctors and nurses are
working day and night. Twenty
thousand pounds OF surgical dress
ings and five tons OF special food
have been rushed TO the front Two
new hospitals of nearly a thousand
beds have been opened in the en-
yirons. Another will be ready Mon
day.
