Liberty Loan Posters Coming

Ten million postars and display
cards in eleven designs will be used by
the Treasury department in the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. All
of the designs were donated by dis
tinguished American artists.
The brutality and atrocity with
which the Germans wage war are
wildly portrayed in most of the post
ers, and the duty and vital Importance
of protecting our country and our wo-
men and children from such an enemy,
and of erscuing the world and human
ity from the curse are emphasized
with all the appeal of art.
One of the posters, by Strothmann,
is the menacing face of a German SOL
der with bloody bayonet; the ruins
of cathedral an dthe smoke of wan
ton confagration appear in the pic
ture. A poster, by Norton, shows a
pair of bloody German military boots
with the injunction: "Keep These Off
of the United States" There is a
strong appeal in the picture, by Ever
EFT, of mother, with an infant at her
breast and another child clinging to
her skirts, with one arm stretched out
in agonizing appeal; the legend is
"Must Children Die and Mothers Plead
in Vain"
The Statue Of Liberty crumbling
under German shell fire and New
York City in flames is pictured, by
Pencil, with the legend, "That Lib
erty Shall Not Perish From the
Earth" "Hun or Homer is the cap
ton of picture, by Raleigh, repre-
senting German soldier invading a
home while little girl with a baby in
her arms gazes in mortal fear and
apprehension.
The bloody imprint of hand, "The
Hun-His Mark" makes striking
poster, by st. John with the exhorta-
ton, "Blot It Out With Liberty
Bonds" Remember Belgium" APP
pears in poster by Young above a
silhouette of a German soldier drag
ging away terrified Belgian girl; the
background is vivid fire and ruin.
A new note is struck in the poster,
by Williams, "For Victory"-the fig
IRE of Victory bearing sword in one
hand and the American shield in the
other leading our tproos; the Ameri-
can eagle and flag appear in the pic
ture. "Come On is the caption of a
picture, by Whitehead, of determin-
ed American soldier with prepared
bayonet standing over a body OF a

SYMPTOMS OF INFLUENZA
Statement Issued by Surgeon General Blue

Surgeon General Blue, of the U. S.
Public Health Service, has issued the
following statements concerning Span
ish influenza, which is causing wide
spread concern throughout the coun-
try.
How 1t Comes.
"The disease is characterized by
sudden onset" says DR.. Blue in
statement to the Associated Press.
people are stricken on the streets,
while at work in factories, shipyards,
offices, or elsewhere. First there is a
chill, then fever, with temperature
from 1O1 to 1903, headache, backache,
reddening and running of the eyes,
pains and aches all over the body, and
general prostration. Persons so at
tackled should go to their homes at
once, get to bed without delay, and
Immediately call physician.
Treatment under direction of the
physician is simple, but important,
consisting principally of rest in bed,
fresh air, abundant food, with Dover's
powder for the relief of pain Every
case with fever should be regarded as
serious and kept in bed at least until
temperature becomes normal.
Care After Cure.
"Convalescence requires careful
management to avoid serious compli-
cation, such as bronchial pneumonia,
which not infrequently may have fatal
termination. During the present out
break in foreign countries the salts
of quinine and aspirin have been
most generally used during the acute
attack, the aspirin apparently with
much success in the relief of symp-
| toms.'
Because the last epidemic of in
fluenza occurred more than % years
ago DR.. Blue is issuing a special bull
letin for all medical men who send
for it.
Summary of Methods.
In order to reach physicians of the
country without days delay, how
ever, DR.. Blue has provided for trans
mission through the Associated Press
the following summary Of the meth
DDS for control of the disease:
infectious agent-The bacillus in
fluenza of Pfeiffer.
sources of infection-The secre-
tions fro mthe nose, throat, and re-
| spiratory passages of cases or of car

Further Measures of Control

"(B) General Measures-The at
tendant of the case should wear a
gauze mask. During epidemics per-
sons should avoid crowded assemb-
lagos, street cars and the like. Edu-
cation as regards the danger of prom
iscuous coughing and splitting. Pat
tents because of the tendency to the
development of broncho-pneumonia
should be treated in we'll ventilated,
warm rooms"
The present outbreak of influenza
may be controlled to more or less ex-
tent only by intelligent action on the
part of the public.
There is no such thing as an eff
fective quarantine in the case of pan
demic Influenza" DR.. Blue adds. "hut
precautionary measures may be taken
and should be taken. Thus far we
have little information as to suscepti-
bllity of children, but it is fair to as
sumo that this type of influenza might
spread through a school as easily and
rapidly as measles, for example"

AMERICA ignores
HUN GRIP ON RUSSIA
President Wilson Sends Message
Of Cheer to SOyiets Congress

Washington, March 12.--President
Wilson, in a message to the Com
gress of Soviets made public today, as
sures the people of Russia that the
United States will avail itself of
every opportunity to secure for Rus
STA once more complete sovereignty
and independence in her own affairs
and full restoration of her great role
in the life of Europe and the modern
world"
The message was sent to the Ameri-
can consul at Moscow for delivery to
the congress which convenes today to
pass Judgment on the German peace
terms, accepted by the Bolsheviki.
Although the United States rec
ognizes no government in Russia the
SoViets congress made up of soldiers
and Workmen'S representatives speaks
for a considerable part of the Russian
people.
The presidents message is taken to
Indicate the purpose of the United
States TO disregard the hard terms
the Central Powers have forced on
the Russians, and demand a far diff
ferent accounting when victory shall
have been achieved by the Allies
The m essage of President Wilson:
May l not take advantage of the
meeting of the Congress of Soviets to
express the sincere sympathy which
the people of the United States fell
for the Russian people at this moment
when the German power has been
thrust in to interrupt and turn back
the whole struggle for freedom and
substitute the wishes of Germany for
the purpose of the people of Russia
Although the government of the
United States in un1aDpilV not now in
position to render the direct and
effective air it would wish to render,
] beg to assure the people of Russia,
through the congress, that it will
avail itself of every opportunity to
secure for Russia once more COM
p1ete sovereignty and independence in
her own affairs and full restoration to
her great role in the life of Europe
and the modern world. The whole
heart of the people of the United
States is with the people of Russia
in the attempt to free government
and become the masters OF their own

down, so it is very necessary that
every one take up the work. While
I am here [ mean to get in touch
with some of the committees for the
relief Of the blind and take back new
ideas which have been improved upon
here.
'Of course, when we entered tho
war I gave up the work T had been
doing in the interest of the countries
which became our enemies. The
crown princess, who has always de-
voted herself to charitable work, re-
lieved me of these duties and has
since acted as chairman of the COM
lnitttees. She is beloved by every
cne and has been most successful in
raising large sums for the war suf-
fcrerS.
Sweden soon began to feel the
pinch of the embargo placed on so
many articles by the United States.
Prices began to soar, the government
instituted food ratOning by cards and
now everything must be obtained by
ticket The sums paid for the bare
necessities are most appalling, and
any number of articles are no longer
to be had. Just before my departure
it was said that no more fats could
IL u.
Tea. potatoes, onions and other foods
that are so largely depended on were
sold at prices unheard of here.
"Naturally, this has made the con-
dition of the poor most distressing so
from the war work / conferred my eff
forts on relieving the unfortunate
people in Stockholm and some of the
neighboring towns. I was associated
with the crown princess in this work
and we were able to raise funds to
supply food for the poorer classes,
but the most perplexing problem for
US was the question of lights. There
Is no electricity nor gas in the sec
tons of Stockholm where the poor
people live and the supply of petrol
and kerosene was exhausted. We
were able to get candles for a time
but now the people, with very few
EXCEPTIONS must remain in total dark
ness. The only light they have is at
the picture shows, so they flock there,
spending the money which should be
saved for food. My seamstress told
me that she was Obliged to send her
family to bed hours before their usual
time because they had no light to sit
bY. Every effort is being made t.
help this situation, for the people are
listing circumstances"

SEALING FLEET SMALLER.
War Hits Industry of Hardy New
fOundIand Folk.

St Johns, Y. T., March LIT was
a greatly depleted Newfoundland
sealing fleet which started yesterday
on it's annual hunt in the waters off
the Labrador coast and in the Gulf Of
ST. Lawrence. Like everything else
in which sea-going craft are con-
cerned, this industry has suffered Sc
vcro losses from the war. The crack
steel steamship which had been large
w replaced by wooden vessels, and
which were the most efficient ice
breakers in the world, were taken
over for war purposes.
Two Of the best of them now are
al the bottom of the sea- The
Stephano was sunk by the German
submarine U-53 in its spectacular
raid off Nantucket Island in October
1916. Her sister ship, the Florizel.
was swept on the rocks off Cape Race
during a storm last month
The wooden fleet, nevertheless, met
with considerable success last year.
The decrease in the number Of peItS
obtained was largely offset by the in
creased value Of the product Seal
oil formerly d little noticed by-prod-
uct, came into demand for use in the
making of munitions. It was found
that durable gloves for men in the
trenches and in the air could be
manufactured from the skins AL
though a large proportion of the
hardy Observation-Disclosures who ormerly
engaged in the annual hunt have
gone to tho front as volunteers in
the colony's army and navy contin-
gents enough were left to man =

JAPAN WORRIES GERMANY.
Berlin Puzzled by Activities i'll the
Far East.

Washington, March 12.-German
newspapers are following closely tho
discussion of Japanese Intervention in
siberia. An official dispatch received
here from Switzerland gives a resume
OF the opinion of some Of the impor-
tant papers
The Munchener Nachrichtcn SAYS:
"Germany can calmly await any new
move the Entente may make. We
as we wish them What Japan will
do in the future is still obscure, but
what she is doing today is evident
She is preparing to make 4 new eff
fort against us
The Frankfurtcr Zeitung says:
what is going on today in Eastern
Asia cannot be a matter of indiffer-
clude Germany from eastern Asia
For us Far East policy is only pos
Slhlc with the aid of Russia or Eng
land. Germany consequently should
not think Of allowing the state Of
anarchy which rcigns in Russia to be
prolonged indefinitely"
The Dcutsche Tages Zeitung de-
cIares that the proceedings of Japan
are not in the least disquieting for
problems, according to this paper,
will be solved in a manner favOra bic
to Germany if the German empire
will impose q German peace upon the
