% --that Day Is
Germany's Doom"

There is one simple easy way by which every family
in the United States can stand up and be cOunted-by
which every man. woman and child can enlist in the hun
dred million, al-American army which the Germans
dread.
One of the most significant utterances made during
the entire made by prominent German o1clal
when America cast her lot with the allies
eve do not fear the American soldiers because they
cannot arrive in time what fear is the intelligence and
faith in individual initiative The day that those hundred
millions act one, that day is Germanys DOOM"
Today Germany is fighting with and more
desperate energy because she fears that the American SOL
derS will arrver IN time.
But Germany still refuses to believe that our hundred
million people will "act one"
How can we prove it to her? How strike to
the heart of the Hun? How convince the kaiser
that the day of his doom approaches?
That way is to lend our money to country.
By War Saving Stamp; costing you until February
l, 1918 $112, worth So on January l, 1928
If you cannot pay for it in immediate cash buy a u
S. Thrift Stamp for % cents and keep buying them
until you have 16. Then add few cents in cash and
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 for the kaiscr-he worst he has
ever heard-fOr it will prove to him that ready
act as one. 1t will prove that not only men, but
every dollar have is behind country will prove
it until we do win. 1t will prove that are thoroughly
unanimously determined that country homes and
loved ones shall no longer lie under the dark menace
OF German domination and cnslavcment.

Tuesday, March 12.--By the Associated
Press.-Four groups of German gas
pRjectors, In addition To the group of
200 projectors already reported de-
stroyed, have been discovered and like

artillery. Probable German plans for
gas attack on a comparatively large
scale against the American positions
northwest of Toul have thus been up
set.
The new groups of projectors were
discovered from aerial photographs
taken by American observers in French
airplancs. The effective action taken
against them was due to the quick
work of the observers, the intelligence
officers and the artillerists in turn.
