BAD NEWS-FOR GERMANY.


German propaganda may be clever,
even though most of it is made up of
lies. but the best Of American propa-
ganda designed to take the fighting
heart out Of the Germans is the calm
recital OF facts.
Germany. for instance, has so far
spent about thirty-fye or thirty
seven billion dollars on the war. How
must the German people receive the
news. announced Saturday, that the
United States is arranging to raise
and spend thirty-three and a half bill
lion dollars on the war during the
next fiscal year? This determination,
in which the American people gladly
acquiesce, to finance so mighty an
effort. will show the German people
that it is no empty verbiage when we
say that we shall fight the war
through. though it should take u
last dollar and our last man.
Germany has protested scorn at our
inefficiency. The breakdown of our
ship building program has afforded in
finite delight to Berlin. But how do
the Germans like the news that the
shipping board has been r~eorganized
with one Of our industrial giants at
its head. and that additional billions
of dollars will be given to him?
Our airplane failure, too. has
pleased Germany. BIZ, our airplane
bureau is also in the process of a
housekeeping. Another efficient man
who has made a success of business
ventures on a huge scale. has been
, chosen to see hat airplanes are ac-
tually turned out in large quantities.
And the new airplane administrato
, will have an additional billion dollars
with which to speed up the work.

from some naval assistance We were

n I'm a financial way. But we are go

war we planned on spending twenty
l. one billions of dollars. II was not al

Germany knows that the America
people are not fools, and cannot Ion

We have the wealth. We have tn

proves that we have the will to vic

Pennsylvania Man
Proves Easy Victim
For Pickpocket
After Elderly Man Had Been "Picked"
Offender Became RemOrseful and
Slipped $50 of the $50 Back

Orlando, Feb. 22.-Orlando has no
proved immune to pickpocket mel
this winter, and the large number o
r0bberies and light finger pick-up'
the last week show they must hav'
been working overtime while tn,
picking was good.
Perhaps the most peculiar of these
Incidents to occur lately one which
demonstrates there is honor amons
thieves, was perpetrated upon Mr.
George Market of Erie, Pa.
Mr. Market is an elderly man who
appears to be Country Gentleman
from the farm lands of the Keystone
State. Market arrived in Orlando the
early part of Fair week, coming from
Sanford via. the Orange Belt Auto
Line. When he reached Orlando 2
neatly dressed gentleman informed
rim that the San Juan Hotel was tbs
logical pace for him to stop. Mr.
Market took the young mans advice
who assisted him to the hotel with
his baggage. From then a friendship
began to grow between the two. Sew.
cral visits to the Fair were made, nu.
merous walks were taken and all the
while, Bennett" the young man H.
Question, appeared to be the height OF
perfection.
Market was in the Eabit of carrying
lis roll of bills tucked away over the
left side of his chest. Bennett became
aware of this and touched the old
gentleman for the full amount of
$50 Later Bennett, remorseful OF
his act, slipped thirty dollars back
into Markets pocket.
Market later became suspicious O;
Bennett and had him arrested. The
city found upon his person when TAX
en- into custody, $3.50 which was
Claimed by Market but as it was i'm
possible to prove whether or not the
money was his, it still remains in the
clty's possession. Bennett was con
victed of being pickpocket, a vas
rant and disturbing the peace He
was fined $4OO, which was promptly
paid. He has departed for carts un-
known.
