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

A poster recently issued by the inn
periai German government in an effort
to belitIle the participation Of America
in the war and Ghus strengthen the
morale of her psopfa 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 tre-
mendous 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" In a corner of this Sec
ton Of the poster are shown the names
Of Serbia, Montenegro, Italy. Rou-
mania, Russia and Belgium. They are
tined 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
Americas Entry Make decision of the
WARP" Integral sections of it attempt
to convince the reader that America
army cannot take the place of Rus
sia's withdrawn forces; that the Unit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
Loan speakers take the book as their
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. A 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 APP
pears to be wearing spats or dancing
purnpS,
The enormous figure of a Russian
soldier is the first object on the poster
to strike the eye. He stands with
hands in his overcoat pockets, indica-
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

HURRY CALL FOR AUNT MARY
Still Time TO Save Chicken, Though
Usefulness of Bread Dough Was
Thing of the Past.

She was entertaining city friends at
dinner in her country home. Anxious
TO have the event as nearly perfect as
possible, she had served dinner to her
small son and his visiting cousin, Bill
~, IN the kitchen first and then BAN
1shed them to the back yard. But
while she gave apparently undivided
attention to her guests conversation,
she was nevertheless conscious of the
very frequent opening and closing of
the back door, of boys footsteps. of
little chickens yeaping and, finally, of
B1lly's distressed face peeping in at
the swinging door. But she did not
remember until too late that she had
carefully covered some bread dough
to rise in the one place in the kitchen
where the heat was just right-on the
little platform under the stove. At
last Billy's head bobbed far enough in
to the room for the company to see
his disturbed look and one guest said {:
Come here, little boy, to see me,
won't your
why" said Billy, encouraged, Il
jest wanted to tell Aunt Mary that one
little chicken is about to get into her
bread, and another one can hardly get
out"

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

Every day the 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 now know more certainly than
we ever knew before why free men
brought the great nation and govern
ment we love into existence, because
it grows clearer and clearer what SUI
preme service it is to be America's
privilege to render to the world. The
anniversary of the discovery OF Amer
lea must therefore have for US in this
fateful year a peculiar and thrilling
significance. We should make it a 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 18th
day of October, 1918, as Liberty day.
On that day I request the citizens OF
every community of the United States,
city, town and countryside, to cele-
brate the discovery of our country IN
order to stimulate a generous response
to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Common
orative addresses, pageants, harvest
home festivals, or other demonstra-
tons should be arranged for in every
neighbOrhood under the general direc-
ton of the secretary of the treasury
and the immediate direction Of the
Liberty Loan committee, in co-opera-
'tion 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
It's 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 10th day of September in the year
of Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hum
dred and Eighteen, and of the indie
pende0ce of the United States Of
America the One Hundred and Forty
third.

ROBERT LANSING.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local appl1catiOns as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedy.
HALLSo CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
OF the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result Unless the Inflammation can be re-
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed

Are Your Hands Idle?

Patriotism has rarely had so many
practical ways Of manifesting itself as
in the present time. Sometimes we
have felt that for the most of us it was
largely talk, but now the way has been
made SO plain that anyone who is
ready to help has the opportunity to
do So If any pair of hands is idle
it is because they choose to be so.

sacrifice are privileges open to all.
