BOY SCOUTS AID WAR LOAN

Few people appreciate the important part
taken by the Boy Scouts in the Liberty Loan
campaigns Serving as .the cleaners after the
reapers'-making the final canvass after terri
tory had once been covered-they secured 1,349,-
1875 subscriptions for $2O6, 1880 This means
that one subscription out of every twenty-three
from all sources was the work of a Boy Scout.
The boys are impatiently waiting for the
fourth campaign to start. They have pledged
100 per cent service and promise to break the
previous splendid record.
In view of their past good work the treasury
department has outlined more comprehensive
plan for them to follow in the fourth drive.
The government has printed 100000 copies of
a sales manual for the scouts. It says in part:
you are the messenger of the United States gov
eminent. Yes, you are more, you are member
of Uncle Sans team of trusted selling agents.
Look the part You are the Presidents mes
senger. Act the part. A pleasant good morn
ing may help to sell Liberty Bond. If you fail
at the first interview, a pleasant goodby may help
you get another chance. Never urge anyone to
give you an application for Liberty Loan Bor5
merely because it will help your record; always
for the country's sake and good business in
vestment. Don't forget you working for the
government. Live up to your scout reputation
for cheerful and cooperative service
The scouts have practiced mobilization until
it moves like clockwork. Every boy knows what
is expected of him and will enter the campaign
with vim and determination which may well
prove inspiration for the older workers.
The boys are doing great work that is appre-
ciated by the government and will be more fully
appreciated by the public when they understand
its Importance and extent

HUN POSTER TO

COPIED BY U. S. /.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 25.--A
poster issued by the imperial German
government in an effort to be-little
the United States contribution TO the
war and bolster the failing spirits Of its
people has been reproduced by the
Libery Loan publicity bureau and two
million copies Will be distributed In
this country during the fourth Liberty
Loan campaign which opens formally
next Saturday.
Intended solely for consumption
within Germany the poster will get tar
wider circulation. resulting in the
enemys publicity guns being turned
on him. The poster was forwarded by
an American In Switzerland.
Can Americas entry make a decis-
ion in the war 2" is the posters title.
And with a diagram showing small
American army and small merchant
marine the pamphlet inferentially ans
wers mo-"
"Russia's army of millions could not
down Germany" argues the poster.
America threatens to send transports
of one-half million men, but 1t cannot
ship them" These words are inscrfb-
ed on a scroll held by a cadaverous
looking Uncle Sam alongside a Rus
sian soldier appearing immense in
comparison. At the time the poster
was displayed throughout Germany
last July. more than 100000 Ameri-
can fighting men already were In
France and this number soon will be
doubled.
Discrcdits Efforts.
England's sea power and England's
merchant marine have not deceived the
war; says the poster. America can
not increase her gross registered tons
for 1918 by more than two or two and
a half million tons. Our U-boats sink
twice as quickly as England and
America can build"
These lines accompany diagram
OF Uncle Sam holding toy boat, con-
trasted with big ship representing
England's merchant marine.

WILHELM's GREAT MISTAKE

When Kaiser Wilhelm Hohenzollern throws up
his hands, he will confess to having committed
tistory's most horrible and disastrous blunder.
1t was one time believed characteristic of kul-
tur to make no false move
Before blazing trail of his own, the Hun BIZ
sected, dissected and vivisected the work along
similar lines previously done by pioneers of pro
gress everywhere. He rode free on the other
fellows dearly bought ticket of experience
In this manner, German so-called efficiency
seldom made misstep.
But the Hun undid his years of caution cal
culation and kultur when he entered upon war
of terrorism by atrocity.
He reverted to fallacous medieval practice.
He chose course based on failure He pre-
cipitated the calamity now upon him.
Each successive unspeakable outrage did not
cause the world to shudder, quake and tremble.
It increased humanity's resistance till now If
overwhelnns and is slowly crushing out of the
Hun the price of his mistake

With the Italian Armies in the Field
Nov. Sat the moment the Austrian
armistice became effective, the Ital-
ian and allied armies in a ten day bat
tie had attained the greatest military
victory in the worlds history.
When the battle opened, more than
a million bayonets, with an auxiliary
million in the rear, opposed them. The
victory was obtained by the Italians
practically single handed, only five An
glo-French divisions and one Ameri-
can regiment aiding them.
During the ten days the Italians and
allies captured more than 100000 pris-
oners and 5000 guns. They liberated
more than 5000 square kilometers of
territory and over 1000 villages, which
exceeds the losses of every item in the
Caporetta disaster, although they OPP
Grated with forces far inferior to the
enemy in number.
Every detail of the battle was plan
ned in advance, not permitting the
loss Of moment. The progress of the
Italians from their starting points av.
eraged fifty kilometers (31 miles) al
though the distance Travelled over the
winding roads exceeded 100 kilometers
The first effort to negotiate with
Italy for an armistice was made Octo-
Der 20, when an Austrian captain, with
white flag, presented himself before

Washington, Nov. 5.-America's $ ar
mics will be a year or two years re-
turning and dcmobilizing.
That is the general war department
estimate today, though the department
is doing nothing toward demobilization
until it Is assured that Germany has
fulfilled our armistice terms.
Demobilization plans, however, are
all made.
In fact they were mapped out along
with mobilization plans by the general
staff. On the whole, the demobiliza-
ton will follow the selective system.
Men longest overseas and those most
needed in INDUSTRY will be the first
returned.
The shipping problem will offer some
difficulties.
Britain plans to withdraw her trans
ports from the American service, TAX
ing care Of her Australian, Canadian
and Indian troops. Hence, the process
Of return will be slowed up immediate
|ly. Still another phase Of demobiliza-
ton which spells year or two years
foreign service for many troops is the
need for police duty abroad.
One phase Of the rehabilitation calls
for return Of men to this country for
sending them to camps and feeding
them back into industry as industry
adjusts itself

warning that it will be many months
before the last man is out Of KHAKI
and back at productive task.
