Germany Prepares It's
PEOPLE For More Woe

Washington, June 26.-Germany
is preparing her people for failure
to win the war this year by an ex-
tensive propaganda setting forth
that in the event German armies are
not able to overrun France this year,
the situation next year will be still
better for Germany than it was at
the beginning of the present often
sive. A movement will then be
made TO put France entirely out OF
the war.
A summary OF the propaganda
reached the state department today
through a neutral country. 1t sug-
pests that Germans released from
the army after the war will be able
to give impetus to German subma-
rine construction that will offset
what the Americans and English
can do to build up their commerce.
1t says also after the present war
Germany will be able to inaugurate
a campaign and successfully attack
Egypt and India.

COMING BOND ISSUES.

Washington, June 26.-Additional
thorization for Liberty bond IS
sues will be asked soon Of congress
by the treasury to provide for the
fourth Liberty loan, which will be
for at least $6,000,00O,0O0. Only
$4,OOO.OOO,O00 of authorized bonds
remain unissued, and the treasury
probably will ask congress to pro-
vide for four billions more, to per-
nit an even larger issue than SIX
billions if this should be found nee
cssary. Other bond bills will be
sought in the session opening IN
December.

HAS THE HUN AT
LAST REALIZED HE
is TO BE WHIPPED?

Washington, June 26.-Some OBJ
servers in Washington thing Ger
man at last has become convinced
that it is with England and Amer
ica that she must deal in peace lie
gotiations and is paving the way
for elimination of the "strahng' Of
England. These observers think
Germany feels practically safe in
ignoring the other entente powers,
confident in their ability to deal with
them separately if England and
America can be brought to see the
advantage to themselves of accept
ing such peace terms as Germanic
powers are prepared to offer.
The resistance to Gernany's in
dependent existence within the
boundaries drawn for us by his
tory" is understood here to mean a
determination to retain Alsace-Lor-
raine by virtue of the ancient title
set up by Germany preceding the
separation of those provinces by
Napoleon's act.
Referring to the German minis
ter's declaration that Germany
could not bind herself to any
pledges in regard to Belgium" it is
pointed out that this statement was
evidently made in answer to the
comment made recently in the pub
lie by Foreign Minister Balfour that
nowhere had Germany officially de-
clared her willingness to evacuate
Belgium.

No one has any doubt OF their ability
to get there. There will also be q

says, it need not be"l We should
cultivate love of health, sense Of
responsibility for the care of our bodies.
Do not allow the machinery of the body
to clog. Put the stomach and liver in
proper condition. Take DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, to be had at
most drug stores in tablet or liquid
form, tablets sixty cents a vial, COM
posed of native herbs. This puts the
stomach and liver in proper condition.
You may be plodding along, no spring,

have put the body into its normal physi.

Spherdsown Jefferson County, Thursday
A Million Insured.

At the close Of Wednesday, Feb
ruary 13, over 100000 soldiers and
sailors and Army and Navy nurses had
applied for government insurance law.
The amount of insurance applied for
is more than S8,00O,000,O0O. The
maximum permitted TO any person
is $4,000, and the average applied for
is S9,212. There are many applica-
tions mailed from distant points which
have not reached the Treasury Depart
ment. The above figures are only Of
applications that have been actually
received and granted.
The amount OF Government insur-
ance in force is more than three times
as much as the total ordinary life in
surance in force with any life insur-
ance company in the world.
The splendid result which gives to
more than million of the soldiers and
sailors of our country the benefits Of
this insurance, which Secretary Nc
Adoo has Justly described as the most
just and humane provision ever made
by any Government for its fighting men
is due to the quick appreciation by
the beneficiaries of the value of the
insurance and the invaluable aid pa
triotically given 10 the War Risk IN
surance Bureau of the Treasury by the
press of the country, the officers of the
Army and Navy, and many of the in
dividual soldiers and sailors, to which
must be added the earnest and efficient
work of officers and agents of the in
surance companies, fraternal beneti-
ciary associations, and many patriotic
organizations.
The campaign, which has for its pur-
pose the insurance of each and every
person entitled to insurance under the
law, will be continued. The time with
in which insurance may be applied for
has been extended by general reso-
luton of Congress, approved by the
President, until April II, 1918.
The automatic insurance, however,
which automatically gave insurance to
all entitled to receive it until February
II, although no application was made,
has expired. Hereafter only those who
have applied for and received policies
will receive insurance.
