Z" ---that Day Is
Gernany's Doom"

There is one simple, easy way by which every family
IN the United States stand up and be counted-by
which every man, and child enlist in the hun
dred million, allAmerican army which the Germans
dread. 49,.
One Of the most significant utterances made during
the entire made by prominent German official
when America cast her lot with the allies
eve do not fear the American soldiers because they
cannot arrive IN me what we fear the intelligence and
devotion Of one hundred million Americans trained
faith in Individual initiative The day that those hundred
millions act as one, that day is Germany's doom!"
Today Germany is fighting with a new and more
desperate energy because she fears that the American SOL
ders will arriver in time.
But Germany still refuses to believe that our hundred
million people will TACT one"
How prove it to her? How can we strike to
the heart of the Hun? How convince the kaiser
that the day OF his doom approaches?
That way is to lend money to our country.
BY War Saving Stamp; costing you until February
l, 1918, $412, worth SIS on January /, 1923.
If you cannot pay for it in immediate cash buy a u
- Thrift Stamp for % cents and keep buynp them
until you have It, Then add few cents in cash and ex
change them for the War Saving Stamp
Begin to do this now. Save every cent you can and
put it into these stamps.
The money will be used Immediately to provide guns
ammunition food clothing and other supplies for our SOL
diers and sailors.
This will be bad news for the kaiser-the worst he has
ever heard-for will prove to him that are ready to
act as one 1t will prove that not only our men, but
every dollar we have is behind country It will prove
that in the to win and that we shall stay in
1t until we do win 1t will prove that we are thoroughly
UNANIMOUSLY determined that country homes and
our loved ones shall no longer lie under the dark menace
OF German domination and enslavement

in the offensive Of July 10 new instruc-
tons heve been issued to the German
soldiers reminding them that silence
Is the best policy when taken prisoner.
Keep silent, know nothing ana

German instructions.
A copy of the German communica-
ton recently came into the hands OF
American officers, It says In part:
The new prisoner is a valuable
possession in the hands OF the enemy.
In him lie hidden possibilities that that
may mean much more than bare facts
concerning battalions and regiments.
From the highest commander to the
lowest wagon driver. every one OF us
carries with him membranes, OBJ
servations, overhead discussions, or
the greetings of neighboring troops.
Combining all these things. they be-
come a valuable asset OF military infor-
nation. One very seldom realizes now
much one really does know. One
thinks little OF it. But the enemy
knows better He spares no pans to
get possession of such treasure. It
may begin with friendly and pleasant
greetings, with coffee and cigarettes
it ends with a sarcastic smile, with
short rations and solitary confinement.
1.-THE last few weeks have brought
us fresh and painful evidence show
ing how easily the German soldier. the
moment he drops his arms, succumbs
to the false impression given by the
words for me, the war Is over He
has done his duty on the battlefield
with rifle and grenade until fate grew
stronger than he, and he becomes a
prisoner with the idea, I have done
my duty; now I am defenseless, and
captured, no longer a warrior. 1t no
