his right hand. In his left hand uneio Sam carries a banner which bears the inscription, "America threatens 10 send transport of one-half million men. But it cannot ship themP Belo" Uncle Sam are these words: II IS impossible for America to train ana lift out in time for the European war suitable and sufficiently large army and provide 1t with the necessary re- achievements" The catchline of thls section of the poster is "Russia's army of millions could not down Germany, and on the skirt of the Russian sol dier's overcoat are printed these words: Russia used up altogether fifteen million men in vain!"
 On the opposite side of the poster IS this catchline: "England's sea power and England's merchant marine nave not decided the warp Below thls line appears huge figure intended to represent the English shipping facih- ties at the outbreak of the war, whlch bears these words: England went into the war with twenty million gross registered tons of freight space"
 Alongside this figure of ship IS a drawing designed to show Uncle sam carrying the United States tonnage un- der his left arm. The caption above Uncle Sam reads: Gan America re- place England on sea?" On the ship which Uncle Sam carries is printed this inscription: "Three million gross registry tons" and below that is an other inscription which says At the beginning of the war America had on ly a tonnage of three million gross reg istered tons." Commenting on these statements, the poster further declares ''America cannot increase her gross registered tons for 1918 by more than two to two and a half million tons. Our U-boats sink twice as quickly as England and America can build ]!
 The answer of the publicity bureau to the two sections of the poster refer ring to the transportation of men and the building of ships follows: "At the moment the bulletin boards of Ger many seoffed the possibility of Amer ica sending a force to France, there were already more than million fight ing men overseas, and transports, walled about by the American navy de- flying the cowardly submarines, were bearing every month hundreds of thousands more. The gauge is set and the summer of 1919 will see 100000 fighting American men in France. Nor will there be a lack of ships to trans port and sustain them. The Liberty Bond buyer is fast giving to America a merchant marine that will be the peer of any in the world. America launched In July alone 635,01l tons. Losses to allied and neutral shipping combined, from every cause, for the last six months, amounted to 2,0S9,393 tons.
 "The distance from New York to England, the Boehe points out com- ments the bureau of publicity publi- cation, lis two hundred times greater than that from England to France, from which he spells Opportunity for the German U-boats.' Pitiful is this 
 the U=boat being an uneonquerable engine of war, as the Hun confidently expected, it has become the sinking foe of fishing smacks and other iso- lated craft. The vast army of Liberty Bond buyers, thirty millions strong, has built an unbrOken bridge over the Atlantic ocean into the heart of the enemy's strOngholds. Across this bridge there are streaming our mill lions of fighting men, as good as the world has ever known, munitions and equipment that have been wrought by those back home, whose determination is that the American fighting man shall lack nothing that he needs"
 AS back-handed slap at the French, the German propagandists have repro duced a French poster which pleads with French people to eat less in or der that the United States may send over more man power The French poster pointed out that If every per son in France would save a hundred grams of food day that the American endorsements could be increased q division month. The French catch line on this poster was Does France want wheat or men?" and the German poster remarks "Also the allies are now beginning to have their doubts P
 Tn a further effort to convince the German people that 1t will be impos- sible for the United States to trans port troops to France the German section of the poster says that ten tons of freight space are required for every soldier in crossing the water. The truth is that a soldier requires less than one-half this amount of space.
 Summing up all the falsehoods which the German poster contains, the book let says: "The War Lord of Ger many may have the futile hope that his people will devour in the place of food, such statements as the forego- ing. Falsehoods, however, are poor | -,,he+sf,,+ac and ore IilyaIv to aooro
