REVEALS FOES DIRE STRAITS
German Poster Reproduced by Bureau
OF Publicity Proof of Shattered
Morale Of Enemy.

A poster recently issued by the i'm

to belittle the participation of America
In the wal and thus strengthen the
morale of her people form the text of
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
erty loan.
The center of the poster is devoted
to a drawing showing New York city
on one side of the Atlantic and a ire
mendous explosion N the other side,
probably somewhere in France. Two
sinking vessels are shown in the lane
Of travel between New York and
France, while in the Ofing are two
U-boats securely afloat. Opportunity
for the German U-boats!!' is the catch
line for this section of the poster.
The lane of travel in which the boats
are sinking bears this inscription
"Amerlca-Europe. Distance 200 times
greater than from England to France
mainland" In a corner of this sec
ton Of the poster are shown the names
Of Serbia, Montenegro, Italy. Rou-
mania, Russia and Belgium. They are
lined up in the order named under an
other exploding figure representative
of the European war, and the names
Of oil 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

Every effort is 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 a

American flag with nine stars and five
stripes around his plug hat and smokes

The enormous figure of a Russian

Proclamation by the Pres
ident of the United
States of America.

Every day the great principles for
which we are fighting take fresh hold
upon our thought and purpose and
make it clearer what the end must be
and what we must do TO achieve II.
We now know more certainly than
we ever knew before why free men
brought the great nation and govern
ment we love into existence, because
1t grows clearer and clearer what SUI
preme service it is to be Americas
privilege to render TO the world. The
anniversary of the discovery Of Amer
lea must therefore have for US in this
fateful year 4 peculiar and thrilling
significance. We should make it a day
Of ardent rededication to the ideals
upon which our government is founded
and by which our present heroic tasks
are inspired,
Now, therefore, /, Woodrow Wilson,
President Of the United States of
America, do appoint Saturday, the 18th
day of October, 1918, as Liberty day.
On that day l request the citizens of
every community of the United States,
city, town and countryside, to cele-
brate the discovery of our country in
order to stimulate a generous response
to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Common
orative addresses, pageants, harvest
home festivals, or other demonstra-
tons should be arranged for in every
neighborhood under the general direc-
ton of the secretary of the treasury
and the immediate direction of the
Liberty Loan committee, in co-opera-
ton with the United States bureau of
education and the public school au-
thorities. Let the peoples response to
the Fourth Liberty Loan express the
measure of their devotion to the ideals
which have guided the country from
Its discovery until now, and of their
determined purpose to defend them
and guarantee their triumph.
For the purpose Of participating In
Liberty day celebrations all employees
Of the federal government throughout
the country whose services can be
spared may be excused on Saturday,
the 18th day of October, for the entire
day.
In witness whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done in the District of Columbia
