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
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 center of the poster is devoted
to a drawing showing New York city
on one side of the Atlantic and a ire
mendOus explosion on 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 Of1ing 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 ::
"America-EurOpe 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 it attempt
to convince the reader that America s
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sia's withdrawn forces: that the Unit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.
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.
Every 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 APP
pears to be wearing spats or dancing
pumps.
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

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an inf1amed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

WaShington.-WoO Wilson, CT
william commander in chief of the Unit
ed States army and navy, in person at
noon September 80, turned over to
Americas military establishment the
entire 100000 men between the ages
Of eighteen and tOrty-tive embraced in

The great undertaking started prac-
tically on the minute, and then went
steadily forward.
Amid ceremonies profoundly i'm

significance, Gen. PeytOn c. March.

person this vast force of as yet ununi-
formed reserves, on behalf of the mil

And from this reservoir of man pow

ton to their General
March is to recruit the army of 4,000,-
600 men which he has promised to
have overseas by July 1 next to back
up General Pershing on the battlefields
of Europe.
Every man in the registration is af-
fected, as from those who are not
called for active military duty the
cOuntry'S war managers propose to
mobilize a great Industrial army of
war workers to make certain of con-
Stantly flowing stream of men and mu.
nitions to the. field of battle.
The roll call, which is to assign to
each of the 100000 men a military
number determining the order in
which he is to be called, was begun by
President Wilson himself, and not fin
ished until late in the afternoon next
day.
AS the tally sheets were filled they
were rushed over to the government
printing office for the official master
list which, when completed, were sent
by General Crowder to all district
boards throughout the country, which,
in turn were to make them public
through the newspapers. In that way
the country at large was informed of
the order of all the numbers within a
few days.
Wilson Is AppIauded.
There was a hearty round of APP
plause as the president, blindfolded
with a piece of cloth taken from the
covering of one of the chairs used
at the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, approached the table
on which rested the famous glass
bowl used upon the first drawing.
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder guild
ed his hand as he reached down into
the bowl to pick one of the 1900 blue
capsules containing the numbers
There was increased handclapping
when it was announced that the first
number of the drawing was 322, for
the number which the president drew

every one of the 4,557 local boards in
the country. Every man whose serial
number corresponds to it may there

His Fathers Were Larqer.

Tommie thought that his father was
the best father, that his mother was
the best mother, and that his house
was the best house. Indeed every
thing of his was best.
One day on a visit to a neighbor
woman, he followed her upstairs to
watch her make the bedrooms tidy.
''Are those your daddy's shoes?" he
asked, as the woman put those articles
in their proper place.
"Yes," she answered smiling. "They
are pretty large, don't you think?"
ooh, yes, but my daddy's shoes are
larger" he said quickly.

HIS PIE DISGUISE
BRINGS FREEDOM

NEW YORK. Dec. T.-Custard pies
in recent years used for hurling pur-
poses by motion picture actors. were
put to a more up to date I:so when
they csmouhssed the escape of q
prisoner from the Tombs.
Had Max SchRIk. forty-nine, SEN
fenced from Brooklyn as a vagrant,
waited until today he would have
left the prison a free MN His SIX
months sentence would expire s5a that
day. Instead. however, he added his
name to the list of those successful il
eluding the guards during the last
few months.
Schalk was a trusty. and while cart
ing coal in the yard shortly after .
o'clock Friday afternoon saw a
bakery wagon about to leave. The
driver was delivering some pies and
the trusty hid himself under the seat.
As the wagon left through the La
fayette street gate IL was inspected by
the guard, who permitted the driver
to pass out. Two blocks from the
prison Schalk arose from his hiding
place. politely asked the dryer 10 stop
and then climbed down. The driver
did not think the incident OF sufficient
Importance to report it TO the prison
officials.
SchaIk was missed shortly after
ward and an investigation is being
made. The gate guard is sure he made
a careful inspection Of the wagon. and
the only explanation he can give Is
that SchaIk in some manner disguised
himself as a pie. The police have been
asked to look for the man, who was
garbed in khaki and wore a gray fan
mel shirt--the usual trusty attire.
