Posters of the Great War
M1lnse7j's

CLAYTON HAMILTON has an arti-
Gle on war posters in the June num-
Der of "Munsey's." 1t is profusely illus
trated and covers the work of artists of
several nations. In it he draws an inter-
esting parallel between the poster in art
and the headline in journalism. Mr..
Hamilton writes:
"1f it be granted that the relation of the
timely art of the illustrator to the pcrna-
nent art of the painter is similar to the
relation between journalism and literature,
we may go step further and assert that
the special task of making posters is similar
to the special task of composing headlines
for a newspaper of enormous circulation.
"Few of the millions of readers who skim
their papers every dav and toss them hast
lily aside appreciate the skill and care that
necessarily have been expended upon the
composition of those scarcely noticed head
lines which have aided them to decide in
stantly, without any conscious movement

sorship could exclude the communication of
the German agent. The only remedy against
him was to close the mails and cables to
everybody Having realized this fact, the
German experts were not long in working
out the codes
"Adhering to the basic principle that the
message should bear no evidence of secret
meaning on its face, and that it should con-
form, in every respect, to the usual trade
or personal communication, the problem be-
fore these experts presented no great diff

THE new war code was quickly elaborated.
"One required little imagination to see
how such code could be amplifcd in in

be no remedy against it. Skifuly carried
out, such method of communication could
not be prevented. unless, as the German
Secret Service maintained, the cables and
mails were entirely closed to the public.
The var has gone on for nearly four
years. During the whole of this time the
German government seems to have been in
no manner embarrassed in its methods of
communication with its secret agents; and
1t seems to have been fully and thoroughly
informed with respect to every movement

Anticipated secret cipher wouldn't do in
this war. And
cit knew perfectly we'll that when the Eng
llsh government cut it off from communca-
ton with the world no tumble of words and
no arrangement of signs or figures could be
sent out. It, therefore, determined to aban-
don this secret form of communication and
to develop new code
"The prime factor in the new code must
be that the message should have no indica-
ton on its face of any hidden or secret
meaning On its face, it must be some form
OF the usual personal or business MESSAGE
"The problem was clean-cut
IF 1T were possible to devise system of
secret communication which could not be
distinguished from the common run of bust
ness and personal messages, then it would
not be possible for the English government
to prevent the German War Office from com
muncating with the world, unless it should
entirely close the mails and cables. If the
mails and cables were open to the public
then the German messages could get
through.
