GERMAN MISTAKE
 MADE IN BIG WAR

Berlin, May 15.-(UP).-one of Germany's mistakes in the World war, argued Capt. Rudolf Loibl in the military publicatoin "Militaer- wochenblatt" today, was such Slo- gans as excursion train to Paris" chalked on railway trains. Tn prep aration for the next war, he said, propaganda should be centered on these two questions: "What am I to expect in war;" and "What am I to light for?" The answers, he said, are: "Boundless sacrifice and an inplacable enemy" and Germany must live 50 we all can live" Sys- tematic belittling and ridiculing of an enemy, Capt. Loibl said, was the worst possible psychic preparation for war.
 q protest" he said, "against propaganda portraying war as rather q nice change from the ever yday routine--someth like Q game ot cowboy and Indians. The first crash of a heavy shell amidst @ company tho sight of blood, the groans Of the wounded, play havoc with such illusions. The week long squatting in shell holes, the bombardment that continues ceaselessly day and night, the dripping dugouts, bring a ter ribie awakening from youthful dreams. We must familiarize young people with the real aspects of war"

In addition, through the cooperation of the local radio stations we have, on several oc- casions broadcast educational data Special thanks are hereby giv- en to the Washington Park Com munity club for devotlng the clubs time to 6 safety program. Publicity of state and national character has been secured through news value of information in other newspapers and publications. All of this publicity has been obtained without cost to your committee.
 Voices Appreciation
 Tt would appear only fair to here express appreciation for the following special work:
 ITO both local radio stations for special and day-to-day news broad casts; to Miss Julia Smith, manager, State theater, for her interest in and showing of safety films in sevS eral local theaters and in Water- town: for the excellent work of the police department: to Major Burrall and volunteers who appeared before civic clubs, church organizations and service clubs giving safety talks; for the fine work of Superintendent of Schools Condon and his associates in the public and parochial schools program.
 We would indeed be reFTiiss were we not to say word of thanks to local insurance men for their COG operation and that of their com panies who bore the expense of poster and films The National Bu- reau of Cacualty and Surety Un- derwriters, New York, through Har- old r. Hammond and Dr. Herbert J. Stack, has been exceedingly help ful.

JAPAN IS FEARED
 IN EASTERN ASIA

London, May 15-(UP)--Brltish official quarters today feared a fresh wave of Japanese expansion in east ern Asia is impending as a result of strong reinforcement dispatch ed to Japanese garrisons in north China.
 Apprehension increased when the foreign office was informed that yesterday Japanese officials in Pei ping formally notified the British embassy in China of the north Chi ma garrison reenforcements.
 Japans accompanying assurances apparently failed to allay misgiv- ings regarding Japan's intentions.
 In serving notice on the British of increased Japanese military strength in north China the Tokyo representatives said.
 "Our reenforcements are not de- signed to work against Chinese sovereignty or against the powers interested in the north China area. The north China garrisons are be- ing reenforced solely because of a desire to maintain peace and or- def."
