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

A poster recently issued by the Inn
perial German government in an effort
to belittle the participation of America
in the war and thus strengthen the
morale of her people form the text of
one of the most striking pieces of ltera-
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 ire
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 afioat. 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:
aAmerica-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
lined 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

TO convince the reader that Americas
