 FOR THIRD LOAN
lsnecial to The Reviewl

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Posters prcclaiming the third liberty loan in striking phrases and colorful designs nine million of them in more than a dozen styles-now are being distri- buted to every city ana hamlet of the United States
 They are the silent sales agents ol the bonds, and their preparation ha- taken months of planning and careruI choosing. Hardly had the second lio- erty loan campaign closed before the country's foremost artists and design CTS were invited to go to work On posters for the third loan.
 The result is a collection of striK- ing posters, considered artistically and psychologically better than any yet attempted in the two previous loan drives. Soon they will be familiar tights in store windows, on billboards. and in all public places.
 In addition, 5,000,000 window stick CTS. 50O0O.0O0 poster stamps and I5.- 0OO, ,OOO badges have been ordered ana will be reday for the opening day of the campaien.
 Some of the designers of the Liberty loan posters are Howard Chandler Christy, Joseph Pennell, J. C. Leyen- decker. Sydney Rosenberg, Herbert Paus, Henry Raleigh and Sydney $. Stern. All contributed their work with out pay, and scores of other artists submitted designs which were reluc- tantly rejected by the board which passed on the designs submitted by these great artists.

CONCRETE SHIPS
 MAY CARRY FOOD
 ID MEN IN ARMY
Builders Hope New Type Will Solve Shipping Problem; :; Many Advantages Claimed For This Vessel.
CBy Review Leased wIrel

A PACIFIC PORT, March 1.-The largest concrete ship in the world was launched here today. If the vessel
 stands all tests the builders hope this l type will help solve the nations need
 for ships. Every step of the construc- ! tion has been watched by the govern
 ment The vessel is 320 feet between 1 perpendiculars, 44.6 feet wide and 30 i feet deep, and when loaded will draw
 A feet of water. Her displacement
 will be 1900 tons and she will have a
 carrying capacity of 5000 tons and make 10 or II knots an hour with
 triple expansion engines furnishing larger than any concrete boat now on
 record in this country.
 Advantages claimed for the new yes.
 sel are that concrete construction does
 not interfere with steel construction;
 plenty of concrete can be had; con crete vessels can be built for the cres-
 ent cost of wooden vessels; concrete
 vessels of 7500 tons can be launched
 within 90 days after work starts;
 while the cost of the plant" is "as S25.000 to S5O0,000," compared with a steel shipyard.
 When the first steel vessels were built. people said they'd not float, or if they did, they would be too heavy to be serviceable." said w. Leslie Comyn, president of the concern which built. the boat Now they say the same thing about concrete But all the engineers we have taken over this boat, including many who said it was an impossible undertaking, now agree ] that it is success"
 The floor of the vessel is about four and half inches thick; the side four l inches, with a great steel shoe down | the bow. Imbedded in the concrete | are $40 tons of steel; a continuous basket work of welded steel mesh and ! hundreds of heavy iron bars. also welded together.
 A water tight wood flooring resting on the bottom beams constitutes the double bottom of the vessel. No pro vision is made for water ballast, the theory being that the vessel will travel without ballast, riding safely with her heavy bottom. Six lonsrete bulk heads divide the vessel The main Il desk is wood laid on concrete string CTS; the shelter deck is concrete. The | dead Welgnt IS put at bOO tons more Il Shan that of steel vessel of like ca pacity The vessel will burn oil, us- ing 160 barrels day. and her rein forced concrete tank will carry 30 ; lays supply.
 Besides the low first cost, we will save 75 per cent of our lumber on later boats bf re-using it. Two other vessels of 750O tons each will be { started as soon as we get this one put of the way. In these we will use iorms built in sections and bolted. ( Wben we strip them from the con- { ,rete they come off section at time
 "A concrete boat will last-I don't znow how long. We know that con { ;rete gets better the first nine years $ )f its life, and after that it should { ast long while. The life of steel I boat ordinarily is 25 years"

 If you were on the battlefront
 And a boche with knife.
 Was a-jumping down upon you
 Intent to take your life; '
 Would you grab your trusty rifle.
 Inspect the lock and breech
 To find who was the maker,
 How far its shot would reach7
 Now wouldn't it be safer
 While in danger from the brute.
 To point the thing straight at him And hurry up and shoot?
 When life hangs in the balance The time that counts is-NOWi Leave the non-essentials
 To the guy that tells you how. A better way might have been found, But when you're six feet under ground For life of me, I cannot see What good would do to you or me. For mine, I'd rather kill a Hun With almost any kind of gun. And afterwards go look and see. Than have that pesky Hun kill me. Suppose you couldn't swim a stroke. And were thrown into the drink, Would you grab a plank that floateo
 near, Or throw up your hands and sink? If you were to wait for an instructor to teach you how to swim, St Peters gate would open wide A boob would enter in. Take this advice: Learn the game" Before hand, if you can, If you're up against a new one, Meet 1t like a man. If you're caught without a weapon, Why kick and gouge and bite? If boche gets your number. Make him know he's had a fight. If you have to die-well, sonny We all have to do the same. Don't fade out like yellow streak. Dam 'em all, DIE GAMEi

CHILDREN PLAY AS
 SHELLS WHINE ABOVE

Correspondence Associated Press) SOMEWHERE IN BELGIUM. Feb. l2.-One of the most amazing sights along the Belgian front is that of a school for children which is being mained close to the fighting lines by the army through General RucQuOy. otief of staff. Here about 250 little folk whose homes are nearby are be- ing cared for during the day in a school which Is less than four miles from the German trenches.
 Great shells pass with their wickeG vail over the heads of these young sters as they play about the grounds The detonation of the huge guns is constant and cften the school house rocks with the vibration Fleets of German airplanes circle about with their loads of enormous bombs. But the work of the school continues its regular course.
 The American Red Cross is deeply interested in this unique institution and is helpinr it in every way possi- ble. Maj John Van Schaick Jr.. act ing commissioner for Belgium. In a report on the school said:
 Ut would appear as if these chil- N-A NA' "AatfA AN WF AAl A tiLIlA MtINNNNN condition. but in fact they are about ss sturdy lot cf little Flemish boys and girls as l have ever seen. They never run when the shells whistle and explode. One of their favorite amuse- 0 ants Is to jeer at German airplanes. and they are absolutely devoid cf fear. It probably would appear to many peU- rie 'hai he duty of the American Red Cross would be to help get these chil- dren cut Instead. we are giving them Q new barrack. and sending clothing and shoes. to help them stay This is on the ttecry that it Is better for the

Reversing conditions in fCimer generations we find that the big towns are the places of dan ger. and the scattered farms places of com mDcrative safety This institution is a day school where meals are served and instru ton given and the children live at home

general in another of his reports. "Our law empowers the trustees to segre- gate children of the African race, but does not empower them to segregate children of the Mexican race" says the opinion.
 Do you ever. when out hunting. take a pot shot at the mile post beside the road. just to try out your eve? If you do, best cut it out. Most people are not aware that just this little target practice is a misdemeanor and mat each such shot fired is a viola ton Of the Arizona penal code. says the attorney general.
 What Is Denstured Alcohol?
 Ask Wiley; he knows. At any rate. Wiley has been asked and has handed down an opinion in which he tells what denatured alcohol is. and how 1t shall be denatured. In his letter to drug company in California he says: "l beg leave to suggest that alcohol quire not less than seven grains of menthol to the ounce of alcohol. Knowing that this would be very ex- pensive. I would ask if you cannot make an addition of something else for denatured purposes in line with the requirements of the United States revenue service?"
 The scope of opinions relative to alcohol liquor and prohibition in the little report Is wide. and among them are the following: Alcoholic beverage, brewed or matted product prohibited: alcoholic liquors. cannot be sold in Arizona; brewery products. shipment into Arizona probihited; Hostetters bitters, sale prohibited unless com pounded so as to urohibit use as a beverage; liquor, can be shipped on military reservation; prohibition. with nine separate opinions taking in everything from cider to personal use and the federal court rulings.
 Soft for the Teachers
 Arizona's sO-called blacklist law does not apply to the hiring of teach CTS in the states schools, declares the attorney general in another of his opin- ons- "A favorable testimO- lial can readily be given at any time." say the report. "as it will be in aid of securing employment Also, any school officials having under consio. sration the employment of a teacher ,r teachers may legally inquire for whether favorable or un- favorable to the applicant"
 Indians in Arizona cannot secure lunting licenses, says the report, be- .ause the statutes prescribe that the ribes of this state may not hunt or ish of the reservation to which they 'elong. When the attorney general efers to doves and white wings he is lot speaking of the "soiled'' doves of city or the street sweeDers. He is eferring to the law which regulates he number of birds which may be filed in one days hunting.
 The opinions of the attorney gen ral are interesting and instructive. here are many more just as terse nd full of good material in the little plume. but space will not permit of nier use at this time They show. owever, that the office of the attorney eneral is nearer a public information flee than is any other in the state. nd mat for varied knowledge and ex- erience the attorney general must an- wer to nearly every enc in the state some time in the two years that his ,rm of office runs.

The U. S. Marine is invariably an athlete. His spare moments are us ually devoted to outdoor sports. On the big athletic field at Mare Island, one can see everything from boxing to football.

 The defeat inflicted upon the Turks by the troops under my command has resulted in the oc- cupation of the city by my forces. 1. therefore, here and now pro claim it to be under martial law. under which form of administra- ton it will remain so long as military considerations make it necessary. However, lest any of you should be alarmed by reason of experience at the hands of the enemy who has retired, I hereby inform you that it is my desire that every person should pursue his lawful business without fear of interruption. Furthermore, since your city is regarded with affection by three of the great re- ligions of mankind. and its soil has been consecrated by the prayers and pilgrimages of devout people of these three relieions for many centuries. therefore do I make it known unto you that every sacred building monument, holy spot, shrine. traditional site. endowment, pious bequest or GUS tOmary place of prayer will be maintained and produced accord ing to the existing customs and beliefs of those to whose faiih they are sacred.

ATTORNEY GENERAL DECIDES ON VARIED PROBLEMS; CODE
 OF OPINIONS NOW PUBLISHED
Arizona Official Becomes General Information Officer for Clearing of Knoty Problems; Samples of Questions Sub mitted Show Wide Range and Much Research Here's Few Typical Replies.

With opinions on many subjects and varied. containing upward of 150 written statements and interpretations of Arizona laws. commenting and ad- judging questions varying from prohi- bitioh to sheep sanitary inspectors. and from doves and white wings to state veterinarians. the report of the attorney general of Arizona, Wiley F. Jones. for the years 1915-16. just is- sued by the state, is an interesting document of wide importance to resi- dents of this state.
 Opinions of the attorney general are often interesting in the little volume of nOre than 1S0 pages. Many of them throw new light on laws of the state. Many of them have an element of humor. Some of them give interest ine facts relative tc the status of citizens. Others define customs or outline duties of commissions. with which the general public little ac- quainted. Most of the reports and orders and interpretations are inter- esting for the information they con tain. but certain of the reports are of more than usual interest for the Of their information. for the human-interest appeal contained in them.
 Flags and Advertising
 Such a report is that on the uses of the American flag in which the attorney general in reply to a renuest of Frederick F. W. Darrow of Kings ton. N. Y. who asked if the printing cf the American flag on a paper nap kin is prohibited bv the Arizona stat ues declares that If the napkin bears no advertising or printing upon it oth- CT than the flag. and there is no ad- or printing upon the repre- sentatiOn of the flag itself I do not think the mere printing of it upon the naOkin that is inquired about by you is a violation of our state stat ute"
 The attorney general then cites to the New Yorker the paragraph of the penal ccde of Arizona in reference to 1 1efe,ing the United States flag
 A man came to Arizona from an- other state to accept a position with . } corDOration. The corporation fur lished him with his transportation lere. Then he quit his job. or got fred, or something else. At any rate, ? he wasn't quite sure if he was en- tiled to a return ticket to his original lOme from the corporation So hs wrote the attorney general. The re- ,ly was brief and to the point-''in 'esDonse to your inquiry as to wheth- r there is 8 state law requiring corporation who brings an employee nto Arizona, to supply him with a eturn pess. will say that there is 10 such law in Arizona"

copies of these proclamations for the consideration of the American people. A recent sharp contrast is the British proclamation to the people of Jerusa- lem after the occupation of that city by the forces of General Allenby ana the other proclamation made by the German military authorities to the people of northern Italy overcome by the Teutonic armies. Side by side, they show the different methods of civilization and barbarism in conduct ing war.
