PARIS POSTERS IN .P.D. WINDOW FORM
 NEW WAR DISPLAY

i From far away France there comes a personal message to Bisbee. This is sent by w H. Brophy who is with the American Red Cross there. With all his other work this busy man found time to search Paris for posters and sent them clear across the wide At lantic to encourage,l enthuse and en- | tighten the people of the Warren dis trict upon certain phases of the war ] from the French view point. The window of the Phelps Dodge store puts up brave front this week with these posters added to Red Cross and patriotic display In gala attire with the flags of our allies prominent ly displayed, such songs as The U. $. A. Has Awakened" and pillow tops with 'our Hero written. across the top vieing with eaci: other for attention. But these French posters are the most realistic things possible. One called 'Journee de Poilu," which means day of the soldier-rugged faces shin ing, honoring their Memorial Day. the 25th and 26th of October, 1915. which was probably the day in which some great battle was fought, many gay de- bonair French giving their liTes for immortal France.
 A picture of the Liberty Bell that says the time has come to ring it again. The statue of Liberty ever beautiful and as strong as the Rock of Gibraltar.
 One poster that seems :G stand out from the rest is that of the American soldiers in the trenches, about to go foe looking out into no mans land, with sword unsheathed ready and eager to charge at the command. Their faces grim with determination, the re- solve to win in their hearts.
 In direct contrast to this is soldier standing. is that off alone in the night leaning on his gun with a far away look in his eyes, a weeks growth of beard on his face, meditating, the landscape illumined by an occasional glare of the shell from the enemy. His thoughts are with some loved one far from the scared battle front. Written In big black letters across the top of the poster is French proverb, trans lated means, ito be sure of victory and find home"
 The babes seem to plead, S0,000 of them lean out with little hands up- lifted in application. Perishing from poor nourishment and exposure. A plea IS sent out to save these babies by motherly nursing. The cry that strives for expression is i've want tc live; help us,"
 The streets are thronged in the city that used to be called gay Paree, but no more. people marching and cheer. ing for the national defense. Women are bowed in prayer with little chil- dren clustering about their skirts praying that father may return on a furlough."
 A woman with an olive branch stretched forth, the symbol of peace brings beautiful thoughts A child cradled in her arms, and the father pictured as an averaging Angel hover ing near with a drawn sword ready to strike for his home and fireside. with the dauntless inscription which is like challenge, Live to have peace through victory"
 Then there is a woman in the De cember of life, bending over a table peering into sock. Her face is care worn and her hands look roughened with toll, there is no more money in the sock, the bottom of it has been reached. But her face shows the spir- 1t IS as bright and clean as a flame. those old worn hands are willing 10 toll until they drop from sheer weari- ness. The unquenchable courage of her race is reflected in this bent form.
 It is like going to,a lecture to take a glance at this window Full of un- utterable sorrow and woe unspeakable, but hope emitting rays of light from each brave pictured face.
