has-or will soon haye-the requisite
men, guns. shells and planes, but II
has the knowledge.
II happens that for many years the
United States War College has made
a special study of that great fortress
and the surrounding country. The
study was probably not conducted
with any definite notion of ever ap-
plying it directly II must have been
mostly academic Our military ex-
perts studied Metz and instructed
their student-officers regarding Metz
because it was considered a model ex-
ample of powerful modern fortress, so
that familiarity with 1t would be OF
practical use in attacking any similar
stronghold
Now the knowledge comes in pat
Our expeditionary force is going to
have a rare opportunity to show that

cessary strategy and tactics-as well
as the daring and energy that were

DEMOCRATIC TICKET
FINANCING LIBERTY BONDS

Some aspects OF the next Liberty
Loan may seem unfortunate. IT Is an
nounced that subscribers are expected
to pay 10 per cent at the time of sub
scription, 20 per cent Nov. 81. 20 per
cent Jan. 16 and the remaining 30 per
cent Jan 30 This brings one of the
payments Immediately before Christ
mas, thereby inevitably absorbing a
good share OF the family's Christmas
money II also involves the payment
OF so per cent of the entire subscrip-
ton in the month of January-a
month when most people are trying to
recover from their Christmas expen-
ditures and at the same time pay their
semi-annual taxes.
The treasury department, however,
may be assumed TO have good reason
for distributing the payment dates in
this way And they will not neces-
sarily impose any hardship. 1t is real
ly a problem in intelligent financing
that each subscriber may solve for
himself
The payment dates given are not
obligatory; they merely mark the end
of the periods in which successive
payments must be made Within those
limits, the money can be handed over
whenever the subscriber prefers.
There is nothing to prevent the pay
ment of more than 10 per cent cash
down. Any man or woman who sub
scribes as soon as the campaign opens.
on September 2s, and pays 20 per cent
down. with another 20 per cent pay
ment in October and November, will
probably have no trouble with the De-
cember and January installments.
Christmas. too. need not interfere.
We are wisely getting away. in this
war time, from the old orgy of extrav-
agance with which we used to cele-
brate IT, We are likely to have safe
and sane Christmas this year Rela-
tives and friends will not expect pres
ents as usual. And when liberal pres
ents are given, what is more appro-
pirate for the purpose than those same
Liberty Bonds for which so much of
our boarded Christmas money will be
spent?

NEWEST METHOD
OF WAR WELFARE
Airplanes Dropping Cigarettes
To Battling Soldiers
In France
THE BOYS APPRECIATE 1T

Showers of cigarettes fell from the
the skies on the American fighters
driving the Germans out of the st.
Mihiel salient. This fact was an
nounced in a cablegram received yes
terday by William ]. Mulligan, chair
man of the Knights OF Columbus Com
mittee on War Activities, at the
United War Work Campaign head
quarters. From American airplanes
10000 packages of cigarettes were
dropped into the hands of infantry
men and artillerymen pressing for
ward in their victorious squeeze
which dislodged the enemy from the
stronghold they had held for more
than three years. Each package was
stamped Compliments of the Knights
of Columbus"
At the same time, cable dispatches
announce Y. NJ. c. A workers on foot
moved among the soldiers, handing
out chocolates and cigarettes. On
land and in the air these fearless
workers kept pace with the American
n6hJCAO lONih6 LII WaAO lnC III ot
offensive exclusively executed by our
troops.
The airplane service for distribut-
ing cigarettes TO the soldiers, while
the battle was in progress and the
ordinary foot or motor methods of
reaching the men in the from. lines
were unavailable, was established by
Martin " Marie, Of San Francisco, a
K. of c. secretary with the coopera-
ton of an American airplane unit
After the fight soldiers related how
pleasantly surprised they had been
when cigarettes dropped from on high
They declared no service in their be-
half ever had pleased them as much
as this ultra modern delivery of the
smokes"
The Y. NJ. c. A. workers won new
friends at ST. Mihiel. One Red Tri-
angle man, with huge pack on his
back, moved forward with a certain
unit, after obtaining the permission
of the commander. At the first pause,
in the shelter of slight rise of
ground, he distributed a cake of choc-
olate and pack of cigarettes to
each soldier until his supply was ex-
hausted. He replenished this supply
and distributed more, making two ex-
ira trips before the main organiza-
ton was able to bring up supplies in
larger quantities. Salvation Army
workers also were busy with their
doughnuts and coffee throughout the
ST. Mihiel drive.

NEW EXPLOSIVE
SAVES GLYCERIN

The Oil. Paint and Drug Reporter
mentions a new explosive being test
ed by fhe Government which will save
a considerable amount of glycerin. II
is called nitrobyronel and is the pro-
due. of Dr. Bryon E. Eldred. 1t is
claimed that it blows chamber twice
the size of that caused by T. n. T.
(trinitrotoluoD. In the manufacture
of nitrobyronel neither nitroglycerin
nor toluol is used 1t is hydrocar-
bon obtained by by-produc. in coke
oven processes.
II is estimated that $4,000. 900
pounds of glycerin are used in Ameri-
can industrial concerns. and a big
saving in this important material,
now growing scarce, can be effected
through the employment of nitroby-
ronel.
If a shortage of glycerin should
become imminent, the Oil, Paint, and
Drug Reporter believes that the Gov
eminent would promptly start in to
manufacture nitrobyronel.

GREAT WALL AROUND GERMANY

Recent dispatches from the German
cities indicate that the German people
are becoming seriously worried about
the conduct of the war. If this is
true, it is because they have been
shaken out of their apathy by the
reports of the Allied advances. Until
lately it seemed, that the plain people
in Germany had become apathetic.
Being unable to puzzle out the real
facts of the war, they had stopped
trying to think at all.
"A brooding fear has settled over
the German Masses" wrote the Am
sterdam correspondent of the New
York World short time ago. "They
have grown utterly Indifferent"
Another writer says "They have
become so dulled that they pay no
more attention to the clash of arms
than they would to the ticking af a
familiar clock"

JEWS AND THE WAX

A writer in the American Weekly
Jewish News shows how solidly the
Jews of the United States are sup
porting the Government in the war
Jews naturally are against militarism,
and IL took little convincing to line
them up in a mood of wartime en-
thusiasm. But they have learned that
this war is not for conquest, and
lighting for freedom is a thing the
jew understands
The writer speaks explicitly of the
change that has come over one par
ticular quarter of New York in the
past year
There were only 476 subscribers to
the First Liberty Loan. and these con-
tributed only S62.5OO. For the third
Loan, 1000 persons invested savings
totalling sS5O.OOo."
I'm the last few days of the cam
paign il became more evident than
ever that dynamic forces were stir
ring East Side Jewry. Thousands of
Jews, from the uncouth and bearded
synagogue Jew TO his polished. de-
bonair grandson; from the wrinkled
and Embarrassed Jewish matron to
the besmeared and hepowdered Ghetto
girl, Jews of all classes and all par
ties beseiged the banks of Brownsville,
Harlem, Williamsburg and Lower
Manhattan and waited patiently on
stairs in front of the banks for hours
until the Government would take their
money. Even an editor of an anar-
chistic paper came to the president of
a bank and asked for three Liberty
Bonds. According to the latest fig
ures, there are $4,000 Jews in the
American army"
No one who really understands the
Jews at all. and the inner forces
which move them. could have doubted
for a moment where they would stand
when once they understood what the
war was for. And more and more it
becomes evident that our action is not
a national nor a capitalistic war. II
is waged for no provincial or frac-
tional cause. Ours is in very truth a
world war, war of all the peoples of
the world for their greatest and high
est principle. that of human freedom.

There is only one way to cure Ca
tarrhal DEAFNESS, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
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
closed, Deafness is the result Unless
the Inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing viii be destroyed for
ever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
