REVEALS FOES DIRE STRAITS
German Poster Reproduced by Bureau
OF Publicity Proof Of Shattered
Morale of Enemy.

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
ms 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 center of the poster is devoted
to a dra wing showing New York city
on one side of the Atlantic and a ire
mendons explosion IN the other side,
probably somewhere in France. Two
sinking vessels are shown in the lane
of travel between New York and
France, while in the offing are two
U-boats securely afloat. Opportunity
for the German U-boats ~ is the catch
line for this section of the poster.
The lane of travel In which the boats
are sinking bears this inscription
Observation-Disclosures. Distance 200 times
greater Than from England to France
mainland" In a corner of this sec
ton OF the poster are shown the names
of Serbia, Montenegro, Italy. Rou-
mania, Russia and Belgium. They are
lined up in the order named under an
other exploding figure representative
of the European war, and the names
Of all the countries except Italy are
crossed out, indicating that they have
been eliminated from the struggle by
the Huns.
The title of the poster is "Can
Americas Entry Make a decision of the
War;" Integral sections Of 1t 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sia's withdrawn forces; that the Unit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 hat America
can build when those ships at
tempt to cross the ocean.
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.
nvery effort Is made In the wording
and the Illustrations of the poster to
minimize and ridicule the efforts of the
United States in the war. A striking
example Of this is found in the figure
of Uncle Sam, who is pictured as a
cadaverous individual who wears an
American flag with nine stars and five
stripes around his plug hat and smokes
a long-stemmed cob pipe. He also ap-
pears to be wearing spats or dancing
pumps.

to strike the eye. He stands with

Proclamation by the Pres
ident of the United
States of America.

Every day the great principles for
which we are fighting take fresh hold
upOa 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 han
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 su-
preme service 1t is to be Americas
privilege to render to the world. The
anniversary of the discovery of Amer
lea must therefore have for us in this
fatefui year a peculiar and thrilling
Significance. We should make 1t a day
of ardent rededication to the ideals
upon which our government is founded
and by which our present heroic cnsks
are inspired.
Now, therefore, 1, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America, do appoint Saturday. the 18th
day of October, 1918, as Liberty day.
On that day 1 request the citizens of
every community of the United States,
city. town and countryside, to cele-
thC tioNofSi VI Jul Souhti III

orative addresses, pageants. harvest
home festivals, or other demonstra-
lions should be arranged for in every
neighbOrhood under the general direc-
tfon 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
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

In witness whereof, I have hereunto

New York.-The price Of peace will
be impartial justice to all nations, the
lnstrumentality indispensable to So
cure it is a league of nations formed
not before or after, but at the peace
conference; and Germany as a mem
Der will have to redeem her charac-
ter not by what happens at the peace
table, but by what follows" This was
President Wilson's answer, given
Friday night before an audience of
Fourth Liberty Loan workers here to
the recent peace talk from the central
powers, although he did not refer spe-
officially to the utterances of enemy
leaders.
Shortly before the President started
speaking, news of the further sue
cesses of American, British and
French ~offensives on the western
front reached the meeting at the Met
ropolitan opera house, and this gave
dramatic point to Mr. Wilson's perora-
tion-that peace drives be effect
lively n~eutralized and silenced only by
showing that every victory of the ma
lions associated against Germany
brings the nations nearer the sort of
peace which will bring security and
reinsurance to all peoples and make
the recurrence of another such strug-
gle of pittless forces and bloodshed
forever impossible. and that nothing
else can"
"We are all agreed" he said, that
there can be no peace obtained by
any kind of bargain or compromise
with the governments of the central
empires, because we have dealt with
them already and have seen them
deal with other governments that
were parties to this struggle, at Brest-
Litovsk and Bucharest. They have
convinced us that they are without
honor and do not intend justice. They
observe no covenants, accept no prin-
ciple but force and their own in
terest."
Five thousand persons who filled
the Metropolitan opera house to ca
pacity heard the President. Five min
utes before his arrival a guard of SOL
diers, sailors and marines. seated at
the rear of the platform were sud-
denly ordered to attention. They
arose with a smart click of rifles, the
national colors were advanced. and
the great audience became silent un-
til the President, without other warn.
ing of his coming, walked on the
stage, escorted by Benjamin Strong,
governor of the federal reserve bank
Of New York. Then a tremendous
burst of cheering broke loose. which
caused the President, after taking his
seat, to rise three times in acknowl
edgement.
Mr.. Strong read to the audience a
summary Of late reports showing
American troops advances during the
day in France.
Our boys in France do not learn
readily when to stop fighting" he
added. THAT is the spirit in which
we must raise the Liberty Loan"
Cheers greeted the news OF the
American successes, particularly
when Mr.. Strong said the Yankee
troops In their drive had reclaimed
100 square miles Of territory for
France.
