cards designed in the spirit of mo
compromise with the Hun" have been
prepared by the Bureau of Publicity
of the Treasury Department for the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign, which
begins September %. The designs are
eleven in number. ten of them being
pictorial in their appeals, and the
eleventh, a card, carrying a represen-
tation of the Fourth Liberty Loan
button and exhorting every loyal
American to wear the button as a
badge of honor.
All of the designs were donated by
widely known artists. The privilege

open to the American public and the
designs were selected without refer
ence to the affiliations of the artists.
The new posters "hit the Hun be-
tween the eyes" figuratively speaking.
revealing the of Teutonic
"kulture'' in all its hideous signiti
canoe.
A strong appeal to the nOhler in
.stincts of humanity is contained in
Walter Fl. Everett's design, the orig
nal of which is a fine oil painting of
a mother clutching a child to hel
breast while another clings TO he
skirt, the mothers left arm stretched
forth in an agony of appeal. This
poster, lettered Must children dit
and mothers plead in vain?' is 80 b
40 inches in size and is lithographet

~.admonished to buy Liberty Bonds TO
prevent the vision from becoming a
terrible reality. It is % by Al inches
in size. Five hundred thousand are
being issued in four printings, and a
smaller size in photogravure.
The menace of Hundom is exempli-
fed in a poster by F. Sarothman,
which shows a green-eyed Hun with
a bloody bayonet peering owe the
edge of Europe, his predatory gaze
fixed upon the United States. AT the
shoulder of the monster stands the
ruins of a cathedral, while behind
him floats the smoke of wanton on
f1agration. The picture is captioned
BEAT Back the Hun With Liberty
Bonds" and is 20 by 80 inches in
size. Seven hundred thousand of
them are being Autographed.
One of the most powerful posters
of the series is a bloody hand print

it Out With Liberty Bonds" typifying
the murder lust of the Hun. The art
list is ]. Allen S. John. Five hundred
thousand. 80 by 40 inches. are being

SEVEN TONS OF
HARD COAL FOR

Seven tons of hard coal will be the
average amount allowed to each fam
lily in Bridgeport for consumption
next winter, according to the Bridge
port Fuel Committee which estimates
the city's needs for the next year will
be 365,OO tons. The seven-ton allot-
Inent is based on post office figures
showing between $4,000 and $4,000
families in the city.
Bridgeport's l 6 retail coal dealers
1-0'-o fled their estimates with the
committee, which will in turn file a
A. port with the state fuel administra-
tor, showing that the city will need at
least 365,0OO tons of hard coal be-
tween April /, 1918 and March 81,
1919. The committee will also make
a report on the soft coal requirements
and is awaiting reports from the var
ious factories.
The committees estimate is below
the city's normal consumption. II
provides 1 900 tons a day for Bridge
port, while close figuring by former
Fuel Administrator Carl +. Siemor
showed that at least 1900 tons were
needed daily for domestic use

March 16-Reports received here

William N. Chambers, representative
of the American committee for Ar
menian and Syrian relief, corroborate
recent advices respecting new massa-
cres on a large scale by the Turks
From reliable sources I under
stand the situation in the districts be-
ing reoccupied by the Turks is terri
ble," said Mr.. Chambers. "On the
pretext that Armenian bands are at
work the Turks are carrying out gen.
eral and bloody reprisals. There is
serious apprehension that similar
atrocities are begun in the Caucasus" "
THE number of orphans for which
the American committee is caring is
growing steadily" sad Mr.. Chambers.
"All the resources of the people de-
ported by the Turks are exhausted,
and the gravity of the situation is in
creasing 1t is dollars or death, and
America cannot afford to hesitate in
this great humane effort to save the
remnant of the prosecuted Christians
