THE SHADOW BEFORE.


(. Remember that story which flashed
across the cables some weeks ago
about an American sentry having been
killed by a German night patrol?
Evidently they surprised and over
powered him. They might Just as easi-
" have taken him prisoner. But they
didn't
They cut his throat from ear to ear!
Not pretty story; not story COM
mending the much vaunted German
kultur: not story calculated to in
spire confidence in the kaiser's close
ly following peace proposals.
But intensely Illuminating.
II was notice, served in the German
way, of what our boys In khaki may
expect.
Il was an early intimation Of what
the gore-maddened Hun may be ex-
pocted to do II he ever puts his nailed
heel and his mailed fist upon Ameri-
can shores.
And in the usual Prussian way 1t
was done in the dark
God help America II we fail to bring
every resource to bear in winning this
war.
And God help you and yours If you
fan to do your part.
Buy a Liberty Bond before 1t is too
late.
We MUST strafe the Hun.

WORK. SAVE. FIGHT.

These are the three cardinal re-
quIsites of the present condition OF
world menace, They are the sur
mounting beatitudes Of our chaotic
times. We win ignore them only at
our peril. We will shirk them only
at an overwhelming cost. We must do
not only one. but all to win. And win
we must.
To lose this conflict with the kaiser's
hosts: to bend the knee in submission
to the win OF the Prussian autocracy;
to accept peace terms dictated by the
war lords OF Germany. would be to
trail in the dust the highest hopes
OF Democracy. II would mark the
Waterloo OF Liberty. II might spell
the end.
America wants no autocratic doni-
nation at this late day. The United
States has led the way in world en-
lIghtenment and the sowing of the
seeds Of freedom too long ever TO sub
init TO tyranny. And German victory
would mean that
SO we must work to the utmost in
our respective lines that the normal
production may be maintained and our
material needs may be met fully and
promptly.
We must save. economize. curtail.
that home consumption may be re
duced and our individual resources be
kept to their normal standard.
For In doing both we will have more
to offer our government, directly and
indirectly: through personal sacrifice
and Investment in war securities.
And we can trust our boys at the
front to do their share Of the lighting;
the spirit OF freedom will inspire to
that.
Work. save. fight and WIN.
That's our program.

Bonds and Service Stripes.

There are many reasons why every
American should buy bond of the
fourth liberty loan, but they all
amount to just one reason, after all ::
Because that is the sure, direct, prac-
teal way to win victory in this war.
The bond you buy, today better than
tomorrow or next week, will be not
merely your contribution of cash to
the war chest. 1t will be your iden-
LITIGATION with the war strength Of the
nation. It will mean your enrolment
as fighter, even though you bear no
arms.
If you have three bonds already, of
the first, second and third issues, you
will have enlisted for the duration of
the war. You cannot quit now. If you
have no bonds thus far, you must come
in or stand apart from your fellows,
while they are bearing the burden of
the fight.
One bond may stand as an invest
ment. A series of bonds, one of each
issue, stands as patriotic service. So
that your fourth bond, added to your
first and second and third, will be as
the service stripes on the sleeve Of the
man in the ranks, denoting actual
presence at the front.
1t is the stripe that tells, not merely
the uniform. It is the fourth bond,
added to the other three, that tells; not
simply some prior investment in gov
eminent securities.
1t is the fourth bond that makes for
victory, just as it will be the fifth
bond when the next issue comes, and
the sixth, when that arrives. It is the
bond that is bought with each chance
to help that makes triumph certain in
this struggle
And that is why the American people
today are going to the front and over
the top for the fourth loan, going with
a rush and a determination to put the
loan across in the shortest possible
time. For if there is one thing GER
tain in this life of ours it is that the
people of the United States are enlist
ed for the defeat Of Germany, no mat
ter what the cost, regardless of the
loss, unreckoning Of time or suffering.

vision Austria can muster 10 needed on
the Italian front. There is no reserve,
as in former times.
Even if Bulgaria should be permitted
to retire from the war with guar
antee that the allies would not cross
her territory-unikely, but possible
the way to the Danube lies open
through Serbia. And in such q case
the way to Constantinople also lies
open through the former state of
for the defense Of which
the Bulgars have been the main de-
pendence. But Bulgaria's detection
would virtually cut the German COM
nnnications with Turkey. The mo-
ment that is done Turkey is marked
fog doom. Beaten in Mesopotamia and
crushed in Palestine, Turkey, depend
ent. to q degree rarely known by ma
ton at war upon other countries for
her military support through supplies,
would be in a position to bleed to
death swiftly if these arteries of con-
nection were severed.
The loss Of Bulgaria and Turkey as
allies. would not in itself be such a
serious blow to Germany as would the
release of large and efficient forces
from that front for employment in al
lied lines elsewhere, even if an in
vasion of Austria from the south were
not undertaken. In terms Of man
power such a detection would weigh
tremendously against the central pow
ers. It,would be definitely the turning
point of the war. The victory of the
allies would be fastened by many
months. Hence the present move for
peace by Bulgaria is to be rated as one
Of the most grievous losses suffered by
Germany in the war.

Bulgaria's Peace Move.

Peace with Bulgaria, which may now
be discussed as something more than
an academic possibility, suggests ad-
vantages to the allied cause which may
we'll cause the gravest concern in Ber-
lin. Bulgaria has been virtually hold
ing the southern gateway to the cen
trail powers. Her army has been the
main obstacle to allied advances north
from Greece, the chief dependence Of
Germany against an invasion Of Aus
tria and for the maintenance Of the
lines Of communication with Turkey
and Asia Minor. It is true that Ger
man and Austrian eontingents have
been added to this force, but they are
not Of great strength, and without the
Bulgar forces there would Be little to
check any advance the allies might
undertake through the BALKANS to the
Danube.
Should Bulgaria actually sue for and
be granted peace terms, doubtless Of .
nature to eliminate her as q war fac
tor and to leave open an territory she
now commands for allied advance, the
way win lie open to tho Danube. It
would Be necessary for Germany and
Austria to send . very Large force
southwark to check an invasion. But
could such force DO spared from any
'front.' Man powsr has lately become

Certainly do add a bit Of
beauty. and when even the
beautiful Jane Cowl twists

women can do the same.
Perhaps you noted that she
wore only a small scarf. but
when the tulle scarf appears
with a serge frock it some
times reaches large dimen-
sions, and twists twice about

smart. and her imitators
were many. These tulle

The tulle comes in loveliest

much for economy. The
tulle is priced from $3.50
