THRILLS OF TIE REvEILLE.
NV Mother Land.

InOu art my MOLnef.
All have and all hope
I owe to thee!
Nought thou canst ask
Wealth, sons, or life
Repays the gifts
Thou gavest me.
Some have the bliss
To fight and die
For Mother land
And Liberty: H ~,
But I, who stay,
May fight as well
If l but Lend my All to thee!
"The period of preparation is
ended: the only thought of America
now is to win the war and there will
be no slowing up of her efforts until
that object is attained"
That is what the American con-
gressional mission said in London.
Let's not give the lie to their
promise.
Buy the fourth Liberty Bonds to the
limit.
France spent one billion pounds in
wars that produced no better result
than the sending of Lafayette and
Rochambeau to help establish Liberty
on the American continent. Our ma
tiOnal wealth now is hundred times
greater than that of France then.
And this is our turn to save liberty
for mankind. re,
Liberty Bonds do the fighting.
"Our Jack"-General Pershing-
delivered the grandest Grafton pro-
nounced on the continent of Europe
since Danton's five-word speech that
saved France from the "Coalized
Kings."F But Pershing's speech was
shorter still:
"Nous voici, Lafayette!"
"We're here, Lafayette"
Well, then: Are we there with
the cash? Have we got there" with
all the Liberty Bond buying power
each one of us possesses?
Back up Jack Pershins's wonderful
speech.
Let's 'be there" on September Is.
when the fourth Liberty Loan comes
out.
Buy to the very limit.
Sow wheat and buy Liberty Bonds.

FEW AMERICANS
PUT TODEAI'H,
SAYS CROWDER
None of Death Sentences In
dorsed Because of Purely
Military Offenses.

Washington. Dec. e.-Not a single
member of the American army has
been put to death since the beginning
of the wal because OF the commission
OF, a purely military offense, Major
General Crowder, judge advocate gen.
eral. declared in his annual report to-
day to Secretary Baker. General
Crowder said this fact is the out
standing feature of his report.
Every few death sentences have
been imposed" he said, land none of
those imposed for purely military Of
lenses nave been carried into exc
cution."
Records of the Judge advocate gem
erals Office show that 1887 officers
and men were brought before the gen.
erai court martial. of whom 1888, or
IS per cept. were convicted. More
than half the charges against officers
were listed under three heads: Absent
without leave. drunkenness and con-
duct u~nbecoming an officer.
Convictions of enlisted men for de-
s~ertion, the general said, were ac-
tually less than in the previous year,
although the strength Of the army had
increased many fold.
The report shows that one enlisted
mar was tried and convicted of being

The secretary holds much Of this
satisfactory condition to have been
due the loyal cooperation of the
heads of the American Federation OF,
Labor" .s..s.
Mr.. Daniels expresses appreciation
OF the work done by George Creel,
chairman Of the committee on public
information. and has this to say of
the American press:
The most intimate relationship be-
tween Mr.. Creel and the department
has been productive of genuine CO.
operation in a service that was new
in our country and not easy to carry
out successfully. The spirit Of the
press. which periodically responded
ship, can not be too highly commend
ed. There was full freedom Of the
press with full recognition by the
press OF the governments desire TO
withhold no Information that did not
disclose military secrets. The press
lad an appreciation of this necessity
and. though having knowledge of
movements OF ships and troops and
other military operations, never vio-
lated confidence. On the other hand
the press gave helpful suggestions
which were invaluable to Mr.. Creel
and the department" 4,
The report shows clearly hat Mr..
Daniels has no intention OF proposing
an adoption of the naval general staff
suggestions that have been made. He
finds that the navy organization has
stood the strain Of war without faltcr-
ing n says:
For years there was a persistent
and insistent demand on the part of
a small element Of the navy and some
well-meaning citizens interesting
themselves in naval matters for a ma

not only in America but in some OF
the nations associated with us.
The teamwork has extended from
the s~ecretary's office to the deck of
the smallest motor boat; from the
ranking admiral to the lowest recruit.
The men in Washington who have
been responsible for the direction OF
the navy's preparations and naval
operations on every sea and at every
shore base are the members of the
advisory council created some three
years ago.
During every period OF pre-war
preparation and of. prosecution of the
war, in both personnel and material,
every member of the council has had
one thought and that has been how to
secure the best cooperation and to,
obtain the best results"
The council is composed of the sec-
rotary. his assistant. Franklin D.
Roosevelt; Admiral Benson. chief OF
operations, and the following rear adj
n.irals who head the bureaus: Pal

WANT MACK BENNETT TO TAKE OFF THE
 KAISER'S LAST SQUEAl

Ever since the stupendous success of "Tillie's Punctured Romance" the exhibitors have been importuning Mack Sennett to make. another five
 reel comedy At last he yielded and is about to relase ''The Kaiser s Last Squeal," which critics who have
 seen the pre-views pronounce to De the funniest play of his career
 Absolutely apart from the usual run of Kaiser plays, it is story about a young American aviator who disguises himself as a girl in order to vamp the Kaiser and get from the All Highest some import ant war plans.
 |. Old Hindenburg, Von Tirpitz, and the Crown Prince all become rivals for the affections of the supposed ! girl" The jealous empress bursts in upon the party, and affairs be- come complicated.
 It is gay and clever satire on the we'll known propensity Of the Hohenzollerns for fascinating Amer | ican girls.
 In addition to being a riot of
 laughs, "The Kaiser's Last Squeaf'
 has a thrilling and dramatic story There are really more heart stoppers | in this comedy than in most Of the big dramatic plays. TheN is an airplane fight in mid-air, produced | with the help of one of the Gov ernment's aircraft schools, that will stand alone among thgills.
 Boutwell, Browne. the famous fe male impersenator, was especially
 engaged to play the part Of the American aviator.
