AMERICANS IN TRENCHES GIVE WARNING OF GAS ATTACH.
American soldiers in the trenches use an automobile horn to warn com
rades of German gas attack. (Readers of this newspaper who wish a pho
tographic copy of this picture may obtain it by sending ten cents to the
Division of Pictures, Committee on Public Information, Washington, D. C.

Spies and Lies
The Committee on Public Informa
tion at Washington is endeavoring to
Combat insidious German propoganda
to be met with in various forms
throughout our country. Spies and
Lies are numerous.
German agents are everywhere,
eager to gather scraps cf ncv s about
our men, our ships, our munitions. It
is still possible to get such informa
tion through to Germany, where thou
sands of these fragments—often in
dividually harmless—are patiently
pieced together into a whole spells
death to American soldiers and danger
to American homes.
But while the enemy is most indust
rious in trying to collect information,
and his Systems elaborate, he is not
superhuman—indeed he is very often
stupid, and would fail to get what he
wants were it not deliberately handed
to him by the carelessness of loyal
Americans.
Do not discuss in public, or with
strangers, any news of troop and
transport movements, of bits of gossip
as to our military preparations, which
come into your possession.
Do not permit your friends in ser
vice to tell you-—or write you—“inside”
facts about where they are, what they
are doing and seeing.
Do not become a tool of the Hui. by
passing on the malicious, dishearten
ing rumors which he so eagerly sows.
Remember he ; sks no better service
than to have you spread his lies of
disaster to our sold ers and sailors,
gross scandals in the Red Cross, cruel
ties, neglect and wholesale executions
in our camps, drunkenness and vice
i.. the Expeditionary Force, and other
tales certain to disturb American
patriots and to ' ring anxiety and grief
to A - rican parents.
A a do not wait until you catch
sor eone putting a bomb under a fact
ory. Report the man who spreads pes
simistic stories, divulges—or seeks’—
confidential military information, cries
for peace, or belittles our efforts to
win the war.
Send the names of such persons, even
if they are in uniform, to the Depart
ment of Justice, Washington. Give all
the details you can, with names of wit
nesses if possible —show the Hun that
we can beat him at his own game of
collecting scattered information anti
putting it to work. The fact that you
made the report will not become pub
lic.

TRENCH AND CAMP
What Tommy Thinks
of Sammy
(By Abe Kinman, submitted by Private
H. L. Lockwell, Ist Casual (Jo., Ist Regt.)
I like the Yankee soldier.
And 1 like his spirit, too.
I like him for a pard,—
’Cause he’s loyal, staunch and true.
He’s in to fight with all his might,
He knows the reason why.
He’s off to lick the kaiser,
And he’ll do it or he’ll die.
• • •
They picked ’im off a battlefield,
A bloomin’ Yankee pard.
’is face was filled with dirt an’ slime,
An’ ’e was breathin’ 'aid.
’is uniform was torn to bits,
’is ’air was cropped with mud, *■
’is 'ands were 'angin’ (rum is sides,
’is shirt was stained in blood.
" ’e's off for Blighty,” says a pal.
“I ’ope 'e don’t go West.
’e was a bully friend of mine.
In fact, ’o was the best.
’e told such funny stories
Os folk, in ’is ’orae town.
’e always wore a grin that long,
’e never wore a frown.”
WORKING OVERTIME
By Manford J. Holley
’Twas on a Sunday afternoon,
Outside a Georgia town;
There lies a soldier village, /
With their tents of olive brown.
You could see the sentry walking
Back and forward all al<) e;
His thought were not of Germany,
But his sweetheart way back home.
He was thinking of a shady isle,
Where sweethearts always go;
It’s the isle was meant for Cupid,
Its name you probably know.
If they ever mover] it to Augusta, '
There’d be soldiers thinking twice;
Wondering if God hadn't changed
' The House of Paradise.
But don’t worry, faithful soldiers,
You'll return some day in line;
And if Cupid does his duty,
He’ll be working overtime.
TO AUGUSTA
We have been at Camp Hancock a very
short time,
But we think the location is extremely
fine.
Our location here is high and fair,
We are blessed with sunshine and good
fresh air
The Civilians of Augusta and country
around
Are as patriotic as can be found.
They are doing their bit you can bet,
And they have made us welcome on every
occasion yet.
It is a pleasure to us to be treated so
well;
We appreciate it more than we can tell.
When we have been here a while, we hope
To furnish some news or Trench and
Camp dope.
