GERMAN LIES AND GERMAN
LIARS IN u. S. AND ABROAD

"Ar Germany wants is just
peace!"
That's all A just peace that win
give her Poland, Belgium, Alsace-Lor-
raine, Austria Hungary, Turkey, Bull
garia, Servia, Romania, control Of the
Nlltic and the Black Seas and ports
on the Mediterranean. A, just peace
in which she can coordinate her new
possessions preparatory to taking an
other wallop at the rest OF the world!
AS her own people have already am
nounced that it is her intention to do!
England is making her colonies do
all the fighting
England lost 10000 men-her en-
tire standing army-in the first few
months Of the war. And she. is now
holding the biggest part of the west
ern front and sending troops to Italy
besides!
THE Germans would never try to
conquer. America"
Take the English Navy away for
few weeks and see! Germany has am
nounced her dream of world power.
If America isn't In the world, where
is it?
These are a few of the Type A lies.
or the other types are the follow
ing: Germany is unbeatable; so why
go against her? We will never get
troops to Europe in time. We can't
equip our soldiers. We cant feed our
soldiers. Germany never intends to
attack us here; 50 let's keep our troops
at home to defend us when she does,
Il we must choose u machine gun for
our Army let us pick one that isn't
invented yet. We must have free
speech; it is better to have people
talking than doing things.
Germany undermined Russia with
lies. Germany undermined Italy with
lies. She is trying to undermine
America with lies.
Don't he fooled America has and
is, mobiliaing, equpping and drilling
troops. She has sent and is sending
them to Europe. She viii give EN-
plenty to wear, plenty to eat plenty to
shoot. and plenty of guns to shoot it
in. She is building a gigantic fleet of
airplanes. She is building a great
fleet of destroyers and aiding to her
battleships and cruisers.
America is going to make the world
safe for democracy. The President
has said so, and the country has said
so. and they mean whA they say
Take the German lies for just what
they are-German lies.
Use your head. Don't he fooled.

in regular session Tuesday night
and reelected all the officers
except MIR. Herman Cole who is
now in the army. Mr.. G. w.
Cole was elected a member OF
Board of Directors in bis broth

know that the Club had learned
the efficiency of the "selective

objections were entered. One
feature of the meeting was the

review of the Clubs activities,
while not nearly complete, gave
ample evidence that it has
a permanent place in handling

Mr.. BAKER STATES
BR|GAD|NG METHOD
Perfecting Of Army System
for New Divisions Reduces
Time of Training.

The process by which American
divisions are being whipped quickly
into shape when they reach the other
side was explained In some detail
yesterday by Secretary Of War Baker.
Mr.. Baker said that only infantry
and machine gun units are brigaded
with tho British. Artillery prepares
for front line duty either with the
French or with veteran American
batteries. Engineers. signal corps and
other auxiliary arms also are trained
largely with the French and American
forces.

The Secretary laid stress on the
fact that exactly the same process Of

div{sions for initial training 10 fol-

French and British forces, ~ we'll A.
with the American veteran divisions,
almost any number Of new divisions
can b. made ready simultaneously.
The brigading Of the Americans with
the 1rsneh and English units serves
the double purpose OF training the
Aew men and giving the allied armies
additional man power In the present
