Proclamation by the Pres. ident of the United
 States of America.

Every day tine great principles for which we are fighting take fresh hold upon our thought and purpose and make it clearer what the end must be and what we must do to achieve it. We nov know more certainly than we ever knew before why free men brought the great nation and govern ment we love into existence, because 1t grows clearer and clearer what SUI preme service it is to be Americas privilege to render to the world. The anniversary of the discovery of Amer ica must therefore have for us in this fateful year peculiar and thrilling significance. We should make it day of ardent rededication to the ideals upon which our government is founded and by which our present heroic tasks are inspired.
 Now, therefore. I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do appoint Saturday, the 12th day of October, 1918, as Liberty day. On that day 1 request the citizens of every community of the United States, city, town and countryside, to eele- brate the discovery of our country in order to stimulate a generous response to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Commem- oratiye addresses, pageants. harvest home festivals, or other demonstra- tions should be arranged for in every neighborhood under the general direc- of ,f hn f1-oo fyy and the immediate direction of the Liberty Loan committee, in co-opera- ton with the United States bureau of education and the public school au- thorities. Let the peoples response to the Fourth Liberty Loan express the measure of their devotion to the ideals which have guided the country from its discovery until now, and of their determined purpose to defend them and guarantee their triumph.
 For the purpose of participating in Liberty day celebrations all employees of the federal government throughout the country whose services can be spared may be excused on Saturday, the 18th day of October, for the entire day.
 In witness whereof, have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done in the District of Columbia this 18th day of September in the year of Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hun dred and Eighteen, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the One Hundred and Forty third.

 ROBERT LANSING.

REVEALS FOES DIRE STRAITS
German Poster Reproduced by Bureau of Publicity Proof of Shattered
 Morale of Enemy.

A poster recently issued by the im- perial German government Tn 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 tre- rlendous 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 offing 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" Tn 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 America's Entry Make decision of the War?" Integral sections of it attempt to convince the reader that Ameriea's army cannot take the place of Rus sins 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 LOdu SpCdAStS NStAS Nlie DOOk Us Iflelf 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. 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 ap- pears to be wearing spats or dancing pumps.
 The enormous figure of Russian soldier is the first object on the poster to strike the eye. He stands with hands in his overcoat pockets, lndica- 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

New York, Sept. 30-President Will son, before an immense audience In the Metropolitan opera house here Friday night delivered the most smash ing war address of his career.
 In words that tingled with the spirit of America in the great struggle, the president reiterated the purposes for which the civilized world Is fighting and made 1t plain that the only peace we can consider Is the peace of vic- tory.
 The president showed his faith in the nation by devoting only a few words to the Liberty loan. He de- clared he knew the country would do its part.
 He spoke to a wildly enthusiastic audience. which let him know his con hdence would not be misplaced.
 Text of Address.
 The president spoke in part as fol- lows:
 My Fellow Citizens: I am not here to promote the loan. That will be done ably and enthusiastically fdone-by the hundreds of thousands of loyal and tireless men, and women who have un- dertaken to present 1t to you and to pur fellow citizens throughout the country, and have not the least doubt of their complete success, for I know their spirit and the spirit of the coun- try.
 No man or woman who has really taken in what this war means can hes itate to give to the very limit of what they nave.
 And 1t Is my mission here to try to make clear once more what the war really means. You will need no other stimulation.
 We accepted the issues of the war IS facts, not as any group of men either here or elsewhere had defined them. and we can accept no outcome which does not squarely meet and set tie them.

The Wars Issues.

ssThose issues are these:
 "Shall the military power of any na- lion or group of nations be suffered to determine the fortunes of peoples over whom they have no right to rule ex- cept the right of force?
 Shall strong nations be free to wrong weak nations and make them subject to their purpose and interest? "Shall people be ruled and domlnat- ed, even in their own internal affairs, by arbitrary and irresponsible force, or by their own will and choice?
 "Shall there be common standard of right and privilege for all peoples and nations or shall the strong do as they will and the weak suffer without redress?
 "Shall the assertion of right be hap hazard and by casual alliance or shall there be a common concert to oblige the observance of common rights?
 No man, no group of men, chose these to be the issues of the struggle. They are the issues of 1t, and they must be settled by no arrangement or compromise or adjustment of interests. but definitely and once for all and with a full and uneQuivocal acceptance of the principle that the interest Of the weakest is as sacred as the interest of the strongest.
 Enemy Without Honor.
 This is what we mean when we speak of a permanent peace, if we speak sincerely intelligently, and with a real knowledge and compre- hension of the matter we deal with.
 We are all agreed that there can be no peace obtained by any kind of bargain or compromise with the governments of the central em- pires, because we have dealt with them already and have seen them deal with other governments that were party to this struggle, at Brest-Litoysk and Bucharest.
 They have convinced us that they are without honor and do not intend justice. They observe no covenants accept no principle but force and their own interests.
 impossible to Come to Terms.
 "We cannot come to terms with them They have made 1t impossible.
 "The German people must by this time be fully aware that we cannot accept the word of those who forced this war upon us. We do not think the same thoughts or speak the same language of agreement
 s'It is of capital importance that we should be explicitly agreed that no peace shall be obtained by any kind of compromise or abatement of the principles we have avowed as tie prin ciples for which we are fighting There should exist no doubt about that I am, therefore, going to take the liberty of speaking with the ut most frankness about the practical i'm. pIicafions that are involved in it.
 Foe Must Pay the Price.

In days of peril there could be no
