TO HUNS HUNGER
HELPED TO END WAR QUICKLY Y

BY United Press.

BY United Press.
With the Third Army in the Rhine
land, Feb. 20.-(By mail Nov that
the need for secrecy has passed. it
is possible to tell something about a
little known branch of the American
armies-the Field Propaganda Sec.
tion.
Although dts chief weapons were
only brains, ink and paper the Field
Propaganda Section undoubtedly
saved many lives, brought in many
prisoners and weakened the Ger
mans morale and shortened the war
thereby.
1t was decided to concentrate
American propaganda upon three
main points-the German shortage
of food, the constantly increasing
number of American soldiers landing
in France, and the arguments in
President Wilson's speeches.
The Field Section consisted of mo-
tor trucks and a balloon outfit, with
fourteen men, under Lieutenant
George Nicholas lift, Jr, of Focatel-
10, Idaho. Lieutenant lift had lived
in Germany, spoke German and un-
derstood the Teutonic mind.
The Germans were circulating a
story among their troops that the
Americans killed their prisoners.
This tale was designed to force the
German machine gunners to fight to
the last breath. Several hundreds of
thousands Of copies of General Perish
ing's general order relative to the hui
name handling of prisoners were
printed in German. The aviators
flung showers of the leaflets over
the front lines. And the propaganda
had almost immediate effect. Ma
chine gun crews surrendered and
eagerly showed their captors copies
of the order which they had picked
up.
Then the propagandists began to
hammer upon the two weak points
of the Germans-the food shortage
and the number of Americans in
France. In keeping the Germans in
formed of the number of Americans
the field section used only
the official figures from Washington !
This is probably the first time in his
tory that a belligerent was anxious
for the enemy to know the number of
troops he had. In Difference to the |
German weakness for charts and ta- |,
bles, the figures were arranged to
show the increase in the American
army month by month.
After few weeks of this bonn
bardment, leaflet with series of
Questions for German soldiers" was
sent over. These questions were de-
signed to start the German to think
ng about what the flood of Ameri,
,an soldiers meant to him.
On top of these appeals was piled

What Is The Cause of
Backache? N
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

Backacho is perhaps tho most common
nilment from which women suffer. Rarely
do YOU find anybody free from it. Some
times tho cause is obscure, but DR.. Piercc'
of Buffalo, N. Y, q high medical authority,
saws the cause is very often form OF
catarrh that settles in tho delicate mem
branes of the feminine organs. When
these organs are inlamed, the first symp-
tom is backache, accompanied by bearing
down sensations, weakness, unhealthy DIS
charges, irregularity, painful periods, lrrl-
tation headache and general rundown
condition. Any woman in this condition
is to be pitied, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DR.. Pierce's Favorlte
Prescription, which is n separate and dis
tinct medicine for women. 1t is made OF
roots and herbs put up without alcohol or
opiatc of any kind, for DR.. Pierce uses
nothing else in his prescription. Favoritc
Prescription is natural remedy for wo-
men, for the vegetable growths Of which 1t
is made seem to have been intended by
Nature for that very purpose. Thousands
of girls and women, young and old, have
taken it. and thousands have written
grateful letters to DR.. Pierce saying it
made them well. In taking Favorite Pre-
scription, it is reassuring to know that 1t
goes straight to the cause of the trouble.
There is but one way to overcome sickness,
and that is to overcome the cause. That
is precisely what Favorite Prescription is
intended to do.

largement of the We1land canal,
which connects Lake Erie with Lake
Ontario. The locks in the present
canal are IA feet deep, but the new
locks are 500 feet long, 80 feet wide
and 80 feet deep. A strong movement
is under way in the west and north
west to have the United States join
with the Dominion of Canada in build

That would carry ocean navigation
into the heart of the continent and
make seaports out of all the ports
on the Great Lakes. 1t is quite naural,
therefore, that the plan is enthusiast
ticaliy advocated in the west and
northwest.
1t is quite az natural, also, that it
is opposed with equal, or even greater,
enthusiasm in the east, and especial
ly by the city and state of New York.
There is pretty general agreement that
it was the building of the Erie canal
that gave New York the position of
supremacy it has held for so long. At
any rate the people of New York be-
lieved that an adequate waterway be-
tween the Great Lakes and the Hud-
son was vital to the maintenance of
their commercial supremacy, and they
believed it hard enough to spend near
ty $155.00o,000, on the enlargement
of the Erie canal, the locks in which
are now II feet deep.
Like all the rest of us, the people
of New York want all the business
they can get, and, because they think
and with good reason, that a thirty
foot channel down the St. Lawrence
would not only benefit Montreal but
take a great amount of business away
from the port of New York, they are
unanimously, enthusiastically, and it
is safe to say even violently, oppos-
ing the plan, or at any rate they op-
pose any participation therein by the
government of the United States.

WATERWAYS TO
BE DISCUSSED
AT CONVENTION
RIVERS AND HARBORS CONGRESS
- WILL HOLD ANNUAL MEETING
DECEMBER 9, 10 AND II.

The fhteeDth convention of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors congress,
which is to be held in Washington on
the 9th, 10th and 18th of December,
promises to be one of the largest, as it
will undoubtedly be the most import
ant, meeting in the history of the or
ganization.
The special object of the convention
will be to discuss and decide upon the
provisions regarding waterways and
the relations between railways and
waterways which it is desired to have
included in the railroad bill. Most of
the speakers who have been invited to
address the convention, therefore, are
men who are directly concerned either
with tn enactment or the execution of
waterway legislation.
Among these are Hon. Newton D.
Baker, secretary of war and Hon.
Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy; Senator Summins of Iowa the
present chairman and Senator Smith
of South Carolina, the former chair
man, of the committee on interstate
commerce.; Senator Jones, of Wash
ington. the present and Senator
Fletcher, of Florida. the former, chair
man Of the committee on commerce.:
Representative Esch of Wisconsin, the
present. and Representative Sims of
Tennessee, the former, chairman of
the committee of interstate and foreign
commerce; Representative Kennedy of
Iowa, the present, and Representative
Small, of North Carolina, the former,
chairman of the committee on rivers
and harbors.
While the National River and Har-
bors congress never declares either
for or against individual projects, its
objects being national and not local.
1t does give to the advocates of i'm
portant projects an opportunity to be
heard. And, in order to be entirely
fair, it gives an equal opportunity to
the opponents of these projects, if
there be any. and that opens the way
at the coming convention for one of
the hveliest discussions on record.
