HOW GERMANS ARE DELUDED
Ridiculous Statements Made by Kali
ser's Government Prove How Real
Is Fear of America.

A poster recently issued by the i'm
perial German government in an effort
to belittle the participation of America
in the war and thus strengthen the
morale of her people form the text of
one of the most striking pieces of litera-
ture that the bureau Of publicity of
the war loan organization has prepared
for use in the forthcoming Fourth Lib
erty loan.
The title of the poster is Can
Americas Entry Make decision of the
Warp Integral sections of it attempt
to convince the reader that Americas
army cannot take the place of Rus
sia's withdrawn forces; that the Unit
ed States cannot build enough ships
to have any effect on the result of the
war, and that the U-boats will destroy
virtually all the ships that America
can build when those ships at
tempt to cross the ocean. A French
poster also is reproduced in the Ger
man poster and the meaning SO twisted
as to make it appear that France is
very badly in need of food.

been printed and will he distributed
in various parts of the country, par
ticularly in theaters where Liberty
Loan speakers take the book as their
text.
The enormous figure of Russian
soldier is the first object on the poster
to strike the eye. He stands with
hands in his overcoat pockets indica
tive of the fact that he is through
fighting. Beside him stands Uncle Sam
holding a small figure, designed to
represent the United States army, in
his right hand. In his left hand Uncle
Sam carries a banner which bears the
inscription, America threatens to
send transport of one-half million men.
But it cannot ship them!" Below
Uncle Sam are these words: 'It is
impossible for America to train and
fit out in time for the European war a
suitable and sufficiently large army
and provide it with the necessary re-
endorsements" The catchline of this
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 vainv'

SHOWED HUNTER NEW TRICK
Willy Fox Climbed Tree to EIuds
Enemies, and Finally Made His
Escape Uninjured.

One of the slyest foxes that has
been liberated by the Speakman hunt
in many years led Pennsylyanians a
chase recently. The fox kept the
huntsmen going for half an hour
when they suddenly lost him. They
found tree under which the hounds
were baying and cav0rting, but de-
spite a diligent search being made
no trace could be found of the fox
The huntsmen were about to turn
back when one Of their number hap
pened to cast his eyes up in the
tree, and there on one of the limbs
sat the willy fox. Recovering from
their amazement, straWs were drawn
to determine who should climb tile
tree. It fell to the lot Of William
Speakman. Being an expert CLIMB

So, 100000, 900 REVENUE
BILL is PASSED BY HOUSE
sent'ng Vote-Now Goes to
the Senate.

Washington, Sept. 21.-By unani-
nous vote. the house on Friday passed
the $S,182,OO0,0OO revenue bill. the
greatest tax measure in history. The
roll call showed $50 members voting
for the bill and not one against 1t.
The unanimous approval given this
bill, which constitutes one of the ma
gram for winning the war next year,
is regarded as further evidence that
the American people are united as
never before in the determination to
spurn all compromise with the Hun
and go through to a decisive victory
over Prussian militarism no matter
how great the national sacrifice.
In bringing debate on the revenue
bill to an end, Representative Long
worth of Ohio declared that the $8,OOO.-
100000 revenue bill was the best an
swer yet to "Austria's whining peace
plea"
"This will be good news for the
allies and cold comfort for the kaiser.
Mr.. Longworth said at will show
the Hohenzollerns and the Hapsburgs
that henceforth we will deal with the
head instead. of the tail of the German
dachshund"
The tax bill will be laid before the
senate formally Monday.
1t was the general consensus OF
opinion that the final passage of the
bill would not take place before No
vember 1. Some senators regarded the
dual system of war profits and excess
profits taxation provided in the house
bill as unconstitutional and this will
be source of discussion.
The tax scheme of the revenue bill
dips into the pocketbook of every man,
woman and child in the country. 1t
was framed, according to its authors,
upon the principle of levying taxes
upon those best able to bear them, with
the result that the bulk of the $S,O0O,-
100000 will come from large incomes
and war profits, with the liquor traffic
yielding up more than 81 ,O00.OO0,OOO as
its share.
