Another good way of disposing of
bills is 10 allow them TO accumulate
in your mail box and then when 1t
won't hold any more move away.
In this way YOU can continue until
any one of three things happens: You
run out of apartments to move into.
you run out of movers or you are run
into Jail.
The latter solution is much more
probable and IS a contamination de-

lodged comfortably in a nice private
cell of your own in a modern apart

that up-to-date furnishings and fit

rent is free your meals cost you

cures favorable decision from the

The league covenant would give
Mexico, a non-member, the right to
ask adjudication of the dispute over
ownership to change the border line
on the ground that national dissension
might lead to war. Tive United States
being a party to a question would
have no vote in the league of its own

The German nation. which the Mex

Mexico for help rendered to the

Our position was now so serious
(early in September, 1919 that q Fl.
q. could not hope that air raids on
London and Paris would force the
enemy to make peace. Permission
was therefore refused for the use of
particularly effective incendiary
bomb, expressly designed for attacks
on the two capitals, of which suffici-
ent supplies We're ready in August.
The large amount of damage that
they were expected to cause would
no longer have affected the course of
the war. and sheer destructiveness
had never been permitted. Count
Hertling, too, had requested G.HQ.
not to use thse new incendiary bombs
on account of the reprsals on our
own towns that would follow. My

one or two more small raids were
made on Paris, while London could

adverse weather conditions.
Wanted Powerful Minister For
Propaganda Campaign.
l was constantly highly exercised in
my mind with regard to the moral of
the army and the people at home. on
the visit of the minister of war to
Avesnes in August. had officers from
the front introduced to him with a
view to convincing him of the bad in
fluence exercised by the home popu-
lation on discipline.
He and other leading men in the
war ministry had always refused to
realize this, or, at least, it's full sig
nificance. The visit bore no fruit. in
spite of all my earnest representa-
tons to the minister.
In the interior our attempt to inn
prove the moral of the people by
means of propaganda never got be-
yond the initial stages. After my
pressing the matter for two years, the
chancellor had at last, in August,
1918, decided, to create a central bu-
reau for press and propaganda pur-
poses, both at home and abroad. 1t

of the imperial government but was
