GERMANS VAIN EFFORT TO
BELlTTLE AMERICAN POWER
Poster Widely Circulated In kaser's
Empire, and Reproduced in This
Country, Shows Morale of Huns Is
Being Shattered.

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sia's withdrawn forces; that the Unit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.
Two millions of the booklets have
been printed and will be 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 a 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: ut is
impossible for America to train and
fit out in time for the European war
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
dfer's overcoat are printed these
words: Russia used up altogether
fifteen million men in vain y

very day the great principles for
which we are fighting take fresh hold
upon our thought and purpose and
make 1t clearer what the end must be
and what We must do to achieve it.
We now know more certainly than
We ever knew before why free men
brought the great nation and govern
ment we love into existence, because
1t grows clearer and clearer what SUI
preme service 1t Is to be America S
privilege to render to the world. The
anniversary of the discovery of Amer
lea must therefore have for US in this
fateful year peculiar and thrilling
significance. We should make it day
OF ardent rededication to the ideals
upon which our government is founded
and by which our present heroic tasks
are inspired.
Now, therefore, !. Woodrow Wilson,

city, town and countryside, to cele-
brate the discovery of our country in
order to stimulate a generous response
to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Common
orative addresses, pageants, harvest
home festivals, or other demonstra-
tons should be arranged for in every
neighborhoOd under the general direc-
ton of the secretary of the treasury
and the immediate direction of the
Liberty Loan committee, in co-opera-
ton with the United States bureau of
education and the public school au-
thorities. Let the peoples response to
the Fourth Liberty Loan express the
measure of their devotion to the ideals
which have guided the country from
Its discovery until now, and of their
determined purpose to defend them
and guarantee their triumph.
For the purpose Of participating in
Liberty day celebrations all employees
of the federal government throughout
the country whose services can be
spared may be excused on Saturday,
the 18th day of October, for the entire
day.
In witness whereof, / have hereunto

NO CLOSED SHOP.

There should be no closed SHOP
this country when it comes to wal
service and war sacrifice. The ma
iority of people, rich and poor, have
submerged all selfish interests anC
narrow prejudices in the interests OF
the one great common cause-vic-
tory in the war. In society, poll
tics, taxation, in the camps, on ship.
board and on the firing line, America
has become one great open shop.
Naturally such a democracy which
fighting to down the autocratic men
ace has little patience with any class
which sets itself off as immune from
any sacrifice or concession, which
through narrow prejudice or the de.
sire to enforce selfish aims, would
shut the door in the face of any will
ing worker.
There is no place in democracy
for the closed shop and this is not
a time to further such principles
Victory in this war can be had only
by united effort. And victory will
do more for the cause of the work
ing man than any accessions gained
by trade union methods.

graduate the publishers of America
on the wonderful support they have
given to the work of the American

Without the support of the press
it would have been impossible to

LABOR'S HOUR.

In England ninety per cent of
some trades are unionized, while in
the United States only ten per cent
are unionized. In March 1915, the
cooperation of the trade unions of
England was asked so that the Eng
lish soldiers would have a decent
fighting chance against the enemy,
After debating three full days rep
representatives of twenty-siX unions
agreed to abandon every workshop
condition interfering with the maxi
mum production of munitions. 1t
was big thing to ask, because they
had been attained at the cost of
great sacrifice. Labor promised, too,
that there woulds be no strike in
any works producing munitions.
American labor was given the same
chance to prove its loyalty to the
country's interests.

BIBLE STUDENT DISCHARGED
IN WENATCHEE-ARRESTED
IN EVERETT.

George Martinich, a bible student,
arrested in Wenatchee some three
weeks ago, was arrested in Everett
last Thursday and placed under a
$4,000 bond, charged with violation
of the espionage act.
Martinich is a barber by occupa-
ton, says the Everett dispatch, with
shop at 1907 Hewett avenue, but
lately has been lecturing for his
association. He was questioned by
authorities recently in Wenatchee,
but no action was taken against him.
He was arranged this morning
before Federal Commissioner Mans
field, but refused to make any state
ment His hearing has been set
for Monday morning at IL.
When placed under arrest he had
in his possession, it is charged, an
uncensored copy of "The Finished
Mystery" He is accused of having
caused the volume to be circulated.
Martinich is the man who refused,
the canvassing committee says, to
allow War Savings posters exhibited
in his window, when the canvass
was made last week. He is an
Austrian by birth, but has been
naturalized in the Dominion of
Canada.

SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF WAR

Before the war this country de-
pended almost entirely upon Ger
many for chemicals, dyes, and pot
ash After this source of supply
was shut off, American business in
terests were forced to turn to the
resources of their own country. Elk
perts soon solved the so-called Ger
man dye Secrets" and when the
war is ended, Germany will find the
best market for her biggest monopoly
gone forever.
In pre-war days the United State9
consumed annually a quarter of
million tons of German potash. NJ
cessity led to the discovery of a
phosphate bed in California which
will supply this country for fifty
years. A nitrate plant is being
built, castor beans are being raised
for castor oil, graphite mines are
worked which were once discarded,
abandoned silver mines have been
reopened, water power is being used
as a substitute for coal, and inland
waterways are being re-employed
to relieve railroad congestion. These
material benefits help in part to off
set the terrible cost of the war to
this country.

WHY DO WE SEND WHEAT TO
ENGLAND?

No question is more frequently ask
ed than why we send wheat to
Europe and stint our own people.
The first answer is that we send
wheat to furnish a fundation for the
mixed cereal bread that the Allies
have eaten for three years and a
half. and not to supply them with
a straight bread. We are now eat
ing Victory bread, bread that calls
for only 20 per cent wheat substi-
tute, while Europe since the out
break of the wor has eaten a war
bread which contains from 25 so per
cent substitute They are asking
us for wheat enough to make this
war bread.
Wheat flour is the only known
foundation for a bakery loaf, Corn
meal and buckwheat can be used in
making cornbread and batter cakes
but these breads cannot be looked
on as bakery products as they will
not stand "a hours handling between
the oven and the table. American
women who do their own baking
can make good use of cornmeal, rice
and oatmeal, but wherever women
work in factories or long hours in
the field, whether in America, or
Europe, bakery bread must be within
their reach.

MANDMENTS.

President Wilson is about to sign
a bill which takes its place in his
tory as the most liberal legislation
in protection of nations fighters
ever known. 1t is good enough,
strong enough to be called the
National Ten Commandments, and is
in effect, thus:
Thou shalt not evict, for non-pay-
ment of rent, a soldiers dependents,
under penalty of $4,000 fine.
Thou shalt not cut off a soldiers
life insurance because of delayed
premiums.
Thou shalt not foreclose mort
gage on soldiers property.
Thou shalt not take away a sold
iers home on which he has made part
payment.
Thou shalt not sell soldiers pro-
perty because of his failure to pay
the taxes, national, state or local.
Thou shalt not settle law suit
against soldier during his absence.
If soldier sue, the courts shall
postphone action until he can attend
to it.
If a soldier have mine, or timber
or farm claim, assessments on which
are overdue, it shall be held for hin

The plans of this ship were sub
mitted to the admiralty of Great
Britan. who after thorough investi-
cation. conceded every claim advanc-
ed in behalf of it, and added that 1t
was the best and most carefully
thought-out scheme for an unsink-
able ship that had ever come before
them. The sole objection advanced
was that vessels of this description
would cost 100 per cent more to build
and would absorb rather more steel
than the ordinary ships.
The unsuitable ship has other
merits besides invulnerability to tor
pedoes. 1t is a potential destroyer
of U-boats. Armed with a couple
of powerful guns it could fight on
advantageous terms any German sub
marine now in service. Finding its
torpedoes powerless to sink her, the
U-boat would have to come to the
serface and rely on its guns and
in the resultant artillery duel, the
odds would be on the cargo boat, pro-
vided her armament was a power
full one and we'll observed.
The unsuitable ship probably will
be a decided factor in the near
future, thereby not only shipping
but also the vast amout of provisions
sunk by the submarine.

For married men according to his
figures, a farm job paying $35 a
