In a speech at the Liberty Bond
rally at the Liberty Hut, Washing
ton, Wednesday, night, October End,
A, Mitchell Palmer, the Alien Prop
erty Custodian, said in part:
POSSIBLY I have some little right
to be Liberty Bond salesman, if
there lis any merit in the maxim,
practice what you preach" because
they tell me I am the biggest buyer
of Liberty bonds in America I have
got something like $60,000,00O worth
and it, is poor day when don't
subscribe for $1,O00,000 more. For
me it is an easy as well as a pleas
ant task, because I buy Liberty
Bonds with the Kaiser's own money.
Why, some few weeks ago, out in

was a German-born woman, died, and
in her will she bequeathed $4,000 to

During the last 40 years, after
Germany conceived her plan to COL
onize, subdue and control the world,
she began to plant on American soil
a great Industrial and commercial
army. That army had become so
large and so powerful that when the
war broke in 1914, Germany believed
it would be strong enough to keep
America out of the war, or failing
in that, it at least would be pow
erful ally to her cause if we did get
into the war.
She planted that army in every
city in the Union, and it's tentacles
stretched out across the Pacific to
Hawaii and the Philippines, in the
Atlantic to Porto Rico and Virgin

American soil free from its touch.

REDUCED RATE. STAMPS
FOR AIR MAIL. ON SALE
P. o. Department Prepares for DroI
in Postage, Which Takes
~. ~. Place Next Week.


Six-cent airplane postage stamps
were put on sale today in preparation
for the lowering of airplane mail rates
next week with the establishment Of
the air rdute between New York and
Chicago. " -
The new stamps are yellow in color,
bearing the plane the same as the pur-
pie sixteen-cent stamps now in use.
Many. purchasers of the new stamps
appeared at post Office stations today.
evidently getting ready for the use OF
the stamps on Christmas cards. .
This will be the first Christmas in
the history Of the world that Christ
mas cards may be sent by airplane.
and it is believed that Westinghouse
are going to make the most OF the
initial opportunity. At first blush six
cents for a post card seems a high
rate, it is.declared, but a little thought
convinces one that the rate is small,
considering what the sender and re-
cipient get.
There will be no connection, it is
understood, between Washington and
New YORK ana new YORK TO Cnicago
arlines for the present, at least. Each
will be operated as separate estab-
lishment, and there will be no trans
fer of mail from one line to, the other
Connection OF the two routes will
take place some time next spring, it
is anticipated. The "air junction"
will be located somewhere in Penn
sy1vania. Letters destined for the
west will be dropped Off the Wash
ington-New York plane and will be
picked up by the New York-Chicago
flyer, which in its turn will leave
letters to be taken by. the National
Capital aircraft.

WITH THB BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Aug ht)-Wheth-
er 1t Is because the mems fightingf
spirits are gone, or because the high
er command is deliberately following
a program involving retirement where
ever they are rushed, the British are
finding that on various parts of their.
line the Germans give way with AM
unexpected readiness that is like
shadow fighting at times.
All Withdrawals so far have been
explained by the Germans as desire
to shorten their line, inasmuch as
this has been the actual effect. IN
some Instances, though, 1t has left
the Germans In less satisfactorily po-
sitions than those abandoned.
An interesting feature in the adj
vance today In the Merville region,
where the German officers seem inn
bued with the idea of getting their
forces safely out OF the path Of the
British, is that these Boches are part
Of the army Of General Won Bernardo
who, as a writer was proponent OF
the idea that the only way to fight
is to advance.
Some light of the Boches' spirit, or
lack of it, was gained night before
last when certain German regiment.
having retired too far. was ordered to
attack Pusieux (north of Albert).
The Segiment refused, preparing
written protest and sending it to the

have been occupied.
He ls gradually extending his fight
ing front eastward until now 1t reach

five miles long.
The Germans are rushing UP rein

concentrating their resistance In Carl

BalIIy northward to Sen1pgny).
Tho French, however, are making

The number Of prisoners, which was
reported moro than two thousand yes

Ludendorff Is reported to have wired
URGENT orders to Berlin for training
the class of 1920. Preparation Of these
Youths of 1s must be finished In ten
or twelve weeks. Such an order
means one Of two things:
Either the Germans are still plan
nina for tren endous, desperate drive
this autumn, or the manpower Crisis
is even moro serious than appear
ances Indicate.
Military writer's are Inclined toward
the former belief. They expect the
Germans to attempt big drive this
fall unless Foch, meanwhile, keePa
them too busy.
The actions of the Germans In the
last weeks, since the failure Of the
Marne operations, shows they desire
to save their man power even at the
expense Of losing territory. Although
they are putting up st'f fight at
vital points, on the whole they are

CHIEF MARCH's REPORT
United States Performs Wonderful
Task In Sending So Many
Soldiers Across
Ocean.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Thirty-
two completely organized American di-
visions {around 100000 men) are
now in France. Chief Of STAFF March
announced them as follows:
One, Two. Three, Four, Five, Six,
Twenty-six. Twenty-seven, Twenty
two Thirty-three, Th1try-four, Thirty
two, Thirty-three, Thirty,-five, Thirty
six, Thirty-seven, Forty-one, Forty
two, Seventy-six, Seventy-seven, Sew
enty-eight, Seventy-nine, Eighty,
Eighty-one, Eighty-two. Eighty three,
Eightyf1ve, Eghty-nine, Ninety, Nine
ty-one, Ninety-two and Ninety-three.
March pointed out that to accomp
lish this remarkable task 1t had been
necessary to scour the world for ships
while to maintain the present progress
and achieve the projected four million
plan would require gathering still
more shipping.
The Emergency Fleet corporation Is
doing "splendidly" to catch up, March
said, but hiring and chartering of
other ships will be necessary to meet
the increased efforts.
The chief pointed to the significant
fact that the general effect Of the
blows recently dealt the Germans has
been to shorten the line from the
