made use of Hindenburg's success in
pushing back the British lines for all
it was worth as an argument for sub
scribing; it was to be breaking through
to victory, and the country must come
forward with the money to pay the cost
of it.
Here are the principal parts Of
joint appeal issued by ten Of the great
national societies Of Germany, represent
ing agriculture, manufacturing, labor
and miscellaneous small occupations:
"The enemies in the East are conquered.
In the West our foes hope for the success
of their armies in the last decisive strug-
gle. 1t will be hard even for our ncom-
parable troops to withstand the momentum
OF this concussion. From their courage and
tenaclty we are to expect the final victory.
The superiority of people in arms, how
ever, depends upon whether. the people at
home continue to supply them with food
and clothing, with arms and ammunition,
New-York tribune., 1918-04-28

IN sufficient quantities. These means for
standing fast to the end, for holding our
own in the last decisive struggle. are to
be supplied by the eighth war loan Who
ever subscribes for it does his part toward
helping our warriors in the field and on
the water, under the water and in the air
Whoever fails to subscribe and kceDs his
pennies il his cash box strengthens the
efforts of our enemies.'
The women Of Germany apparently
took more active part than hitherto
in pushing the loan. The League Of
German Women's Societies appointed
April 13 as national woman's day for
working in the interest of the loan.
Otherwise there was little of the visible
public campaigning that we are now
witnessing with our Liberty Loan. The
banks issued appeals to their customers
and the public generally, but these oc-
cupied rather small space in the columns
of the newspapers. There was hardly
New-York tribune., 1918-04-28

the fact that German exchange in
neighboring neutral countries had re-
Gently recovered nearly half of its de-
probation.
1t was further claimed that the liquid
resources of the German banks had
risen to nearly $4,000. 100000, as
against less than $4,000, 100000 before
the war; also that there had been
great increase in the deposits of the
savings banks and cooperative credit
societies. "All that shows" said Herr
Havenstein, that the longer the war
lasts, the more the financial power Of
Germany grows"
In regard to a war indemnity, the
President said it was as yet uncertain
whether Germany would get one; "it
depends upon the victory which we
must still achieve" At any rate, "the
bankruptcy Of the German Empire is
unthinkable," he concluded, $50 long as
our foes do not succeed in crushing the
Fatherland"
Some three months before the loan
campaign opened the War Press Bureau
of the General Staff offered prizes for
the best propaganda posters, confined to
soldiers in active service. Nearly 1000
sketches were sent in, and about the end
of March some 800 of the best ones were
shown in special exhibition at Berlin.
The first prize was taken by Professor
Junghanns, Of Dusseldorf, now a nom
commissioned officer, with a drawing of
a knight in coat of mail and wearing
the typical cap of the German Michael.
The superscription was: michael, be
like iron"
One artist gave his conception rather
humorous form. Drawing a sketch en-
titled, "The Portal of Peace-the Eighth
War Loan" he represented the portal
by two swords stuck firmly into the
earth, their hilts meeting at the top, and
between them the conventional dove of
peace, with olive branch in beak, walks
heavily along. The idea of victory and
peace to be achieved through the loan
occurs again and again One sketch
represented German soldier writing on
telegram form the following dispatch:
Peace without victory-never more!
Michael" Another represented the
earth locked in golden chains by Eng
land; but golden key. "The Eighth
War Loan,' is found for opening the
lock.

speak English without an accent. Is it pos
sble to make soldiers of these fellows
Well, if muscle and bone principally bone)
Is what is wanted for material, they have
got it here with vengeance"
From such minor matters as getting
washed, eating "slum," being vaccinated,
"Conscript 2989" turns with real feel
ing to a certain night when the effects
of unaccustomed work and the vaccina-
ton began to appear:
Didn't sleep much last night, for some
reason. Think / was too tired. This is the
third night I've lost time. Beginning to
feel it now. But one else seemed to
sleep well, either. or at least they didn't go
to sleep right off Lights out at 10 and all
supposed to be tucked in Then came var-
ous remarks about the Kaiser, the govern
ment, the sergeant, certain corporals, who
doubtless heard all their wellwshers had
to say, but could not identify the speak
ers. Indeed, it struck that the fellows
had hit upon choice way Of telling
tain on-coms what they thought of them,
without the possibility of getting in bad.
Then arguments started in the darkness,
and the vocal combatants were urged on by
catcalls and encouraging yells from vari
ous sections Of the unighted room, and
presently shoes started flying.
about that time the top sergeant up
stairs woke up, and decided to investigate.
Silence fell in the big room when the stairs.
crcaking under his weight gave warning
that the crusty old veteran Of fifteen years'
service with the regulars was on his way
down.
"Thc door opened and pocket Hashlight
began to travel from cot to cot But,
strangely enough, every one was slumber-
ing contentcdly, and some even snoring.
The top sergeant made the round Of the
cots, reached the door and 'doused his
glim.'
"Ihcn, with a most impressive introduc-
ton Of profanity, he remarked that the

fore the German offensive began, but
Havenstein already knew that it was
coming and made distinct references to
it. $50 far as human knowledge can
foresee," he said, ''the next few weeks
will bring the decision as to the future
of our people, and probably also the fut-
ure of the world. All the more iraper-
atlve resounds the call to come forward
with money to take up the Loan
President Havenstein had the temeritv
to pronounce Germany's financial position
substantially more favorable than that
Of the countries at war with Germany.
Apparently the only argument brought
forward to support his view was the
fact that Germany had raised about 70
per cent of her war loans in the form of
funded debt, while England had covered
"only about So per cent? of her war
costs in that way. He pointed further to
New-York tribune., 1918-04-28

week before subscriptions opened, how
ever, President Havenstein made
speech at Munich in behalf of the loan.
He said that Germany was then more
than ever assembling all of its re-
sources for the decisive final struggle.
The hope that the eighth loan would
prove to be a peace loan, he said further,
had been defeated by Germany's enemies.
"They want to dash to pieces Germany
and Germany's economic power. But
their calculation rests upon false basis.
Once more must the German sword at
the front and Germany's economic ham,
mer at home do their hard work. Once
again will the moral strength of our peo-
pie win the upper hand. The feeling of
protecting the Fatherland and of holding
fast till victory is achieved gives the key
note for the eighth war loan"
These words were spoken ten days be-
New-York tribune., 1918-04-28

an advertisement that ran as much as
half page.
Cartoons were used freely by some of
the papers. Thus, the "Frankfurter lei
tung," which is not usually an illustrated
paper, printed almost every day small
cartoons for boosting the loan. These
sought to connect the loan with the war
and to fire the German heart at the same
time with the purpose to win the war
One of these represented John Bull sit
ting disconsolate upon his little island,
which was surrounded by two cordons Of
German submarines, while Zeppelins and
flying machines. pelted his head with
bombs

no part whatever in the loan campaign.

times. would be equivalent to So .465. .000.-
600, but the actual equivalent can hard
ly, in view of the heavy depreciation
of the German currency, have been
more than 100000. This eighth
loan establishes new record in Ger

Germany is now living in such an ar
tifcial atmosphere as regards monev
matters that these big loan figures lose
their significance; we have no measure
for testing their real value. Initiation
has been carried to such an extent that
all ordinary standards have been
swamped. Thus, the Reichsbank issued
about a month ago its annual report for
1917, which showed an aggregate turn
over for the year Of S4S3 ,O0O,O 900.
ct the entire national wealth of Ger
many just before the war was estimated
At hardly more than $4,000, 100000. In
other words, the Reichsbank did a busi
ness last year fully six times as great as
the whole wealth of the country five
years ago.
Inc latest German newspapers to ar
rive in New York were issued when the
loan campaign was at its height and
they contained much propaganda ma
terlal for pushing it. There were brief
appeals from Hindenburg and Luden-
dorff, which were pointed to strike the
readers attention like forty-two cent?
metre cannon shots. The newspapers
also printed from day to day appeals
from other public characters of far less
note than these directors of Germany's
war machine.
All these appeals thumped the war
motif strongly. People were urged to
make one more supreme effort to bring
the war to an end. Often, therefore, the
loan was referred to as a peace loan,
while some more ambitious writer's vent
ured to call it a victory loan. They
