Not For Children Alone.

Owing no doubt to the good work
of those hustling, keen young boys
and girls who have SO generously
given of their time and their pennies
to the thrift campaign, the impress
sion has been created in the minds of
many that War Savings Stamps are
for children only.
Let us stop to consider the matter
for a moment.
The Congress authorized an issue
of $4,000, 100000 w. S. S. to be sold
in 1918. The purpose of the Stamps
was twofold: (1) To get money for
the Government for war needs; (2)
to instill the habit of thrift in the
American people and BY the practice
of thrift save labor ana materials for
the Government.
Can we expect the children, SPLEEN
did workers that they are, to account
for 2,OOO,O0O,000 of Stamps?
Do we consider that the children
alone of all our population need to
be inculcated with the thrift idea?
Are they the only spendthrifts?
Certainly not.
War Savings Stamps are for
everyone. Not one, be he million
aire or be he the humblest laborer,
: can say truthfully that he is not in
terested in w. S. S. and the saving
program that they stand for.
There are, indeed, few men and
women in the land unable to save
and economic more than they do
now. If they want to he listed
among the patriotic people of the
land they must save and economic
more than they do now. The win
ming of the war with the least pos
sible sacrifice demands this, for
there are not enough labor and ma
terials for the Governments war
needs and for the use of the spend
thrifts.
Cut those useless expenditures
All Of us have them. Remember
that our boys in the Army and Navy
do not expect luxuries and do not
grumble even if they do not get all
the comforts that they are supposed
to get.
On or before June % show the
children that you, too, are enlisted
in the War Saving Army.

C0NFESSES TO MURDER
MICHAEL SCHRAMM SAYS HE
KILLED MINISTER AT GARY.
Man Held by Police of Bridgeport,
Conn.,, Says He Shot Rev. kayser
Motive Was Robbery

Chicago, Feb, 20.-The mysterious
murder in 1915 of Rev. A. II. Kayser

Bridgeport, Conn, where Schramm
was arrested.
Acting Chief Forbis of Gary was
Informed that Schramm also confessed
several crimes in Chicago and the
murder of police chief of a small vii
lage near Chicago. He declared the
motive in the kayser murder was rob-
berry.
He said he was walking past the
minister's house on the evening of
the murder with friend when he
saw the minister sitting alone in his
study. In attempting to hold him up
he fired several shots. He declared
his accomplish since has committed
suicide due to remorse.
Forbis said the arrest was brought
about as result of admissions at a
Christmas eve celebration in the home
of a family with whom Schramm
roomed in Bridgeport. The sight of
the Christmas tree and children play
ing about ii caused him 10 weep. He
then said he had not lived as he
should, and told of his crimes.
Schramms admissions were repeat
ed to the police, and Schramm has
been kept under surveillance since
then.
The murder of Rev. Mr.. Kayser in
his lonely parish house on the out
skirts of Gary attracted national at
tention. The pastor, man of pow
erful physique, was found with his
hands tied and several bullet wounds
in his body. The condition Of the
room where his body was discovered
indicated terrific struggle had taken
place.
Many theories were advanced as to
the cause of his murder Among
them were that he had been MUIR
dered by pro-ally sympathlzers be-
cause of his violent pro-German ut
terances, but the theory commonly
accepted by his friends was that he
was murdered by personal enemy.

FOES COMPLETE
PLAN FOR DRIVE
Great Offensive in West May
Come at Any Time.
TO USE TANKS AND NEW GAS
kaiser's Troops Told Surprise Attacks,
Such as Were Used in Galicia,
Will Be Used on Western
Front-Allies Ready.

British Army Headquarters in
France, Feb. 20.-The great German
offensive on the western front may be
expected to begin at any moment now
and as far as the British front is con-
cerned the main thrust will be made on
the sector between Arras and st. Quen-
tin.
Tanks and "a new mysterious gas
will be employed by the enemy in the
attempt to break through the allies
line.
Other attacks will be delivered farth-
or south. These facts have become
known through captured German pris-
oners and from information CLEANED
in other ways.
The plans of the German higher COM
mand are complete, and after many
weeks of intensive training of assault
ing troops they are ready to make the
supreme and final effort which has
been advertised so widely in the last
weeks.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
General Won Ludendorff appear to have
realized that the old methods of attack,
in which long bombardment Is EN-
ployed, are too well known to produce
the results desired. Accordingly the
German troops are being told that sur
prise attacks, such as were used In
Galicia last summer. at Riga and again

the allies on the western front.
Train Germans to Storm Trenches.
Much stress has been laid on the
fact that tanks and new gas are to be
used. leaving the infantry little to do
but to walk through the gaps and con-
solidate the positions captured. Ger
man troops have been trained to make
long approach marches and then 10
storm enemy positions after short
gus shell bombardment Those OBJ
stacles which the German artillery fire
has not obIiterated, will be rushed by
the troops or ignored.
Word has been passed out by the
German high command that few of the
allied troops will survive the effects of
the tanks. the gas and the lombard.
ment and that fresh German infantry
will overcome speedily any resistance
offered in captured positions
Despite these assurances and the in
tensive training to which they have
been put the German troops are frank
ly skeptical and are undertaking their
task with no enthusiasm, according to
prisoners They feel they are going to
be thrown into battle TO be used as
cannon fodder, and do not relish the
prospect.
The Germans will find the allied
morale ut the highest pitch on the
western front and their attack will be
far from the surprise desired. The nj
lies are ready for big blow and await
with assurance the next move of the
German high command.
The allied forces have superiority
in numbers. both in men anu guns, and
no doubt Is felt on this front as TO the
outcome.
