IN the dugouts Gen Pershing sug-

which the enemy has the American
lines under observation for twenty
miles when the visibility is good. Be.
cause of the haze the general was
unable to see the spires of Metz,
which are visible on clear days from
certain place.
Many soldiers in line recognized
the communicative chief as he passed
them or stopped to question them
but Others did not. One young in
; lantryman, after Gen. Pershing and
the general in command of that par
, ticular brigade had passed, asked:
/ Who is that with the four stars OF
his coat?"
A comrade informed him, Wherein

THE LIE FROM BERLIN
(By Hapsburg Liebe, Of the

Vigilantes.)
AS a fairly close observer and
student of such things, | am willing
TO bet two to nothing that this Will
not be in print long before Germany
begins a great offensive somewhere
and most likely on the Western bat
tIe-:ront. 1t is not because now is
big time for such drive; 1t is be-
cause of all this German and Aus
trisn peace talk that has been filling
the papers. 1t looks like a black
shame to have our own papers
Spreading this the most subtle OF Ger
man propaganda; doesn't it! But 1t
Is not, of course, the fault Of the pa
pcrs, nor yet of the board Of censors.
1t is the fault Of nation that glories
in striking in the back. The spread
ing of lies is not a very dignified form
OF warfare, while not quite so bad as
the bayoneting of children
America is now full Of German
propaganda. The pacifists, who, hap
rily, are now few, did great damage
to the morale of our country with ar
guments that were born of the STRAIT
egy in Berlin. The whispers that the
new army is badly fed, badly clothed
badly looked after in medical way
are nine out of ten the work Of Ger

as these are but subtle lies from Ber'

Why, one asks, should German
spread peace talk among her enemie

cause her psychological board know
that armies with minds filled wit

Beating the Post Office.

stranger, accompanied by his wife, walked into a cigar store and asked for a stamp. The clerk told him that he did not have stamps for sale, but that he could get them at the post office, two blocks away, or at drug store on nearby corner. The wife proposed that they go to the post off, flee, but the husband insisted that the purchase be made at the drug store.
 'T know what I'm about" he proud ly proclaimed. I've been readin' the newspapers and I saw the other night where the post office had raised its rates. They won't ketch me nappin'. We'll just go to the drug store. They've got one of them machines there and I know can get two two's and one cent stamp fur nickel, out of 1t. Then we'll drop the letter in the box on the corner"

TO THE NEVADA
 COUNTY PREACHERS

There is a great crises upon our country and the government has called upon the ministers for help. The preachers are exempted from military duty, but are expected to ronder aid in a very substantial way. The moral and spiritual forces are oreater than the physical and the government thinks that the ministry can render more efficient service by standing in their pulpits and being tho leaders of the moral and religious forces. cheer and encourage the peo-. nlo and hold up the hands of those in tbo army and navy, than by going into the trenches.
 Every preacher in Nevada county of every faith and denomination, is requested to preach next Sunday, morning or night, on food conserva- tion and against waste of supplies. Christ on several occasions preached aoainst waste of food and His great mission was to be Savior and to teach the people to save. Each min ister is requested to observe freely each wheatless and meatless day and to call upon his people to do the same. There is shortage of wheat and meat among our allies and as they have been fighting for the cause we repre- sent. righteousness, justice and demo- cracy, we should be glad of the oppor- tunity to save food for their soldiers and sustain them in the fierce strug- gle they are engaged in. Then our own boys have laid their lives upon the altar of their country and we should certainly save of our abundant food supplies to give them proper nourishment. We are sure no minis ter will fail in this hour of need and that they will bring their congrega- tons also to the help of the country and do their part in this great world struggle for humanity and freedom. If the weather is too bad to do this next Sunday or a minister has sev-
