J One of the posters, by Strothmann,
Js the menacing face of u German sol

■ of a cathedra! and the smoke of wanton
conflagration appear >n the picture. A
.poster, by Norton, shows a pair of
ibloody German military boots with the
injunction: "Keep These Off of the
United States.” There Is a. strong ap
peal in the picture by Everett, of a
mother, with an infant at her breast,
and another child clinging to her
akirta, with one arm stretched out in
agonizing appeal; the legend is "Must
Children Die and Mothers Fiend In

The Statue of Liberty crumbling
under German shell tire and New York
City in flames is pictured by Pennell,
•with the legend, “That Liberty Shall
Not Perish from the Earth.” “Hun or

Raleigh, representing a German sol
dier invading home while a little girl
with a baby in her arms gazes in mor
tal fear and apprehension.
( The bloody imprint of a hand, “The ,

poster, by St. John, with the exhorta
i tion, “Blot it out. With Liberty Bonds."
4 “Remember Belgium" appears in a
poster by Young above a' silhouette
of a German soldier dragging away a

The peace overtures of the Austro-
Hungarian government are impor
tant. That fact ought to be under
stood at the outset. Oniy by a true
sense of their importance can they be
treated with due seriousness. They
are important; but also, in their pres
ent form, they are impossible.
The hand is Esau’s, but the voice is
Jacob’s.
The overtures are symptomatic.
Therein lies their importance. They
are not wholly sincere; therein lies
their impossibility.
In the first place, Germany is the
moving spirit. The signatory is the
Royal Austria-Hungary government;
but the author of the document is
quartered in Berlin.
War-weary, beaten Austria-Hun
gary is but a tool. The Dual King
doms want peace, want peace genu
inely and sincerely—none knows this
better than Kaiser Karl. The German
militarists do not want peace. They
want to keep on with the war and
the people have no stomach for it.
Too many bereaved homes have pho
tographs of the Kaiser where once
they had sons. The only way to so
lidify the people for the continuance
of the war is to plead for peace. Then
when the plea falls unheeded, the mili
tarists will proclaim again a war of
defense, a war for the preservation of
the homeland.
The peace plea is genuine with Aus
tria and hypocritical with Germany.
Austria-Hungary sees the grim
spectre of starvation and tells the im
minence of revolt. She is cracking
under the strain. She cannot continue
much longer. That is why the peace
overtures are called symptomatic.
Soon Austria-Hungary must be as im
potent as poor little, yet courageous,
Roumania.
Germany's only hope is to solidify
her own people with that cry, “Defend
rhe Fatherland T
she may be alone,
Bulgaria is sick of the struggle.

DON’T USE AN UN
Some energetic persons in the De
partment of Labor have just published
figures showing something we already
knew: that, compared with its pur
chasing power in 1913, the dollar of
today is worth about 59 cents. We
didn’t realize it was worth that much.
But there is always this comforting
thought: it is all due to the war. We
are feeding and clothing and arming
about two-thirds of the world. When
everybody in the world gets back on
the job again, the dollar will begin to
recuperate and get its old glow into
its cheeks. Oa®_hundred copper cents

AUTOCRACY HAS AN ARMY;
Anyone can catch the force of that
epigram, which has been posted in
some of the American camps. It sums
up the difference between Germany
and the United States. It tells why
we are at wssr.
Autocracy has an army because an
tutocracy is a government of a few
men, an inner circle, a “ring,” whose
lumbers are so small that if they did
THE USES OF POISON GASES IN WARFARE
AND WHAT THE UNITED STATES IS DOING
BOTH IN THE OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE
Tress interview with Maj. Gen.
William L. Sibert, director chemical
warfare service:.
The use of gas in war has grown so
fast that it has now become almost
strategical in its scope. It was first
used in cylinders, making a gas cloud.
Its success depended entirely upon the
direction and the force of the wind. If
the wind was too strong your gas was
dissipated and scattered and soon lost
its tolic character. This uncertainty
as to the use of gas led to its being
used in artillery it could
be placed accurately. The shells Were
first used in the neutralization of en
emyy batteries and afterwards use I in
barrages, that is to try to gas the men
all along the line during the attack.
This character of use of gas lasted un
it last spring, when the Germans sud
denly increased materially the use of
gas. Evidently they had been manu
facturoing it all winter and had accu
mulated a large quantity. They adopt
ed the plan of. gashing large areas, es
pecially with mustard gas, and in
gassing important transportation cen
ters. sometimes eight or ten miles to
the rear of the line to be attacked. That
gives you a general idea of the growth
of the use of gas.
Vital Importance in War.
A nation that has not developed the
manufacture bf toxic gases «nd the
necessaray appliances for .administer
ing it to the enemy is terrifically hand
icapped in warfare. In fact, a nation
without toxic gas. and without means
of administering it, and without pro
tectinon from it, will be almost at the
mercy of its adversary. The chemical
warfare service involves both the of
fensive and defensive questions that
arise with troops in the field and there
THE PEACE PROPOSAL
no Venizelos. She rues her decision
now. Turkey—well, the campaign of
misinformation, the inciting of the
Holy War—all this has been paled by
the fact of Britain’s peaceful occu
pancy of Bagdad and Jerusalem. The
unspeakable Turk is also the speech
less Turk—he is too full for utterance.
He has discovered a truth enunciated
of old: “Ye cannot serve two masters.”
He was beguiled and led by a mar.'
who wore a fez one day and a helmet
the next; who spoke of Gott in one
breath and Mohammed the next. The
Sultan is a very sick man today. Ii
fact, he has more maladies than Abdul
Hamid ever knew. But he has begun
to perceive. He has glimpsed truth.
The peace overtures are also impor
tant because they are the first direc:
approach. They cannot be wholly die
regarded.
But they are impossible becaus:
they are predicated upon falsehood.
Germany was led into the war by
a campaign of lies. And the miJitar
ists have shown more fear of expo
sure to truth than to artillery.
The peace plea in its present form
is but a pretext for driving out trut!
with a lie.
The Book of Books tells of the cap
tore of the Ark of the Covenant. I'
■was set side by side with the ido’
Daguq. In the morning Dagon wa
on his face on the ground. So he war
put in his place again. When next h
was found he was broken. So th<
Philistine decided to get rid of th:
Ark; not to get rid of Dagon. They
sent the truth away when it sho
across the He.
So with Germany. Truth, crusher
to earth rises again, and the German
try to avoid her, to send her away. "
Until there is in Germany a respon
sible government that knows its pc
tency well enough to venture no effort
for the ultimate triumph of the false,
there can be no peace.
The new peace must be buildr:’
upon foundations of truth and right
enusness. The truth shall make v
free and in that day none shall be
afraid.
IDERSIZED DOLLAR
them now, and get fifty-nine cents
worth? Or put them aside and wait
until they begin to make a noiee like
a real dollar again? You don’t have
to be a graduate of a business college
to figure that out for yourself.
Putting them away, however, would
be a rattier unpatriotic thing to do,
were it not for the fact that a vray has
been found to make it one of the most
patriotic acts vou can perform. The
Government has to spend dollars
now, fifty-nine cents or not. So you
call turn yours over to the Govern
ment and let it use them to win the
*ar with. And then, when you are
paid back, you wfil have some nice
one-hundred-cent dollars, plus a little
bit more for your tremble. When, as
a matter of fact, it was no trouble at
ail—just good common sense.
’.DEMOCRACY IS AN ARMY
their own fighting the police of any
large American city would be able tc
take care of them.
The German autocrats are the
Kaiser and his “ring.” The ring ii
made up of fifty-seven royal families
who hold a pompous control ovei
their little countries, once indepen
dent, but now united into a grouj
composing the German Empire
is that continual struggle between the
offense and the defense that there has
been between the high-power gun and'
armor on the ship. The development
of the substance to the laboratory is
immediately folllowed by a search for
an antidote or some way to defend
against. Generally we know the anti
dote before we know whether it is
practicable to manufacture in quantity
a new substance. It takes months or
dinarily from a chemical formula as
■ developed in the laboratory to the pro
duction of that gas in quantity.
No Use in Peace.
Ponsonous gases have no peace use
and consequently you find no accpli
anees ready for its manufacture and
no approval process for such manu
facture, and in any nation where there
has not been much chemical develop
ment the manufacture of gas in quan
tity and quickly is a difficult undertak
ing. Chemical manufacture of dye
stuffs involves machinery more nearly
similar to that in gas development
than any other form of chemical manu
facture. To this country the problem
of manufacturing gas in quantity was
a difficult one. We had all the neces
sary raw materials, but our lack of
general manufacture of chemicals has
necessitated the development from the
ground up of machinery that must be
had. However, our people have met
the situation and we are actually pro
ducing gas in quantity and are actually
shipping gas shells abroad.
The experience of this war shows
clearly that the nation that does not
study during peace times all the war
problems, including chemical warfare,
is at a disadvantage for the first two
or three years of war.
Offensive and Defensive Divisions.
TRENCH "AND CAMP
Prussia, being the biggest of these
countries, is the big bully of the lot,
and the Kaiser is boss among the
autocrats. The Germans have a body
which corresponds to our United
States Senate, but instead of the mem
bers being elected by the people in
the different countries, it is made up
of the rulers of those states, and this
council of princes, with the Kaiser,
runs Germany.
Within the ring also are, of course,
merchant princes, lords of the stock
market and other big interests, who
hope that their wealth will some day
float them to some of the numerous
titles of high rank which the Kaiser
keeps dangling before their noses.
The ring gets its chief support from
the land owners, who have an intoler
ant outlook on life because they rent
their lands to the poor peasants, and
the income from this source is suf
ficient to support them in leisure.
Naturally this class of men, which are
called junkers, do not want to see
democracy in Germany. They might
lose their castle% and be forced to j
work like the rest of us. The German:

Get busy! The Contest closes on the
minute. October 3, 1918.
On tw-n main divisions are the of
fensive and defensive divisions—that
is. our two main production divisions.
The defensive division comprises the
manufacture of gas masks, protective
suite, dugout blankets, alarm appa
ratus. etc. The American gas mask
is. 1 am quite sure, better than that
produced by any other country, and
we are continually improving it. So
our people can rest assured that our
soldiers in France have at least as good
a protection as those of any other na
tion.
The Offensive side of gas warfare in
volves not only tae manufacture of
gas and other toxic substances and
the filling of shells and other contain
ers with such substances, but it in
volves the operation of gas troops.
The function <sf the troops is to deliver
gas to the enemy in all ways except by
high-power artillery; that is, these gas
troops carry out the cloud attacks, they
operate the projectors or light mortars
that throw shells filled with large
quantities of gas. In other words, the
mobile administering of gas is done by
the gas troops.
Two Types in Use.
The two characteristic types of gases
In use are mustard gas and phosgene.
One is a persistent and the other is a
non-persistent gas. All of the armies
are using these gases—allies and en
emy. There is a strong tendency to
ward standardisation.— From Official
U. S. Bulletin.
Timely Tips To
Raw Recruits
Even though ydu have never met your
colonel socially, treat him with consider
ation and pardon him if he doesn't wait
for an introduction. If he requests vou
to do any little thing, do it. The same
applies to your other officers, down as
far as corporal.
Don’t be snobbish in your conduct to
ward superior officers.
Don’t refuse to go to France because
you suffer ma! de mer and dislike ocean
travel. Be reasonable about it and go
where the government asks you to go.
princes to build a great merchant
fleet to take “Made-in-Germany”
goods to all parts of the world.
But the Germans found that they
had to meet competition in selling
their goods. This came from Eng

they would crush their rivals by force
and have the whole pie for themselves,
they provoked a war. Autocracy had
an army.
And it was a very good one. There
was none bigger, or better armed, or
better drilled in the world.
But it did not win.
The forces of democracy, deter

Flag Os Freedom
BY EARL BALDWIN THOMAS
I Today, today though feet of clay have
sunk back into earttf,
! The souls of men advance again in
Freedom’s grand rebirth:
j Spirit of an invincible land, the Flag
is leading all,
: She rallies to her standard those who
answer misery’s call.
Her ruddy bars, her shining stars,
glow in the battle line,
The giddy fight, is her delight—tliis
splendid Flag of Mine—
This Flag of Mine, this Flag of You,
who would not die to save it?
Its hues were born in brave, men's
bbxxi—the God of Freedom
able In war times.
Do not demand ruffed grouse and
French pastry every day. It is not al
ways possible for the commissary to fur
nish these items. And it is not good
form to complain Os the service. If your
waiter does not suit you. overlook* his
shortcomings.
If you are a private and they furnish
you with an incapable valet, try to teach
him his duties. Ihe government does the
best it can in these matters. If the
bath water is a few degrees off tem
perature in the morning, or the mani
cure is late or your toast is toobrown,
try to bo indulgent.
If you want to leave camp in the eve
ning and go m the movies or to visit some
relatives In Paris for a few days, don’t
forget to tell some one where you have
gone. They might want tn have a battle
and might need you. The thoughtful
thing to do i s to let them know your
whereabouts.
If you yeel like resigning your position
in the army to accept a more lucrative
one back home, think it over. Don’t art
hurriedly and leave the army flat. If it
Is more pay that you want, ask for it in
a gentlemanly way and try to make the
general see the matter from your view
point. Don’t get angry and quit with
out conferring with him. He might be
able to say something to you which
would keep "ou in your present job.
Don’t move out of your quarters be
cause you don’t like the ■ next door.
Billeting arrangements are often diffi
cult, and a little Indulgence on vour part
will heln matters. Don’t n We because
the telephone service is poor or because
you haven’t a southern exposure be
cause you are too far from the railwav
station. Give the government a chance.
If your captain ir.vltes you tn go with
him on a little trip into Germany it will
not be polite to refuse. j u8 t take a week
end outfit and go with him.
Don't insist upon having yeur beauty
sleep in the morning It will be much
better for your health to get up at the
bugle call.
Don't chase around all night among the
cabarets and bright lights and go home
at 3 o’clock in the morning and then
wake up with a rah driver In bed with
you. it is not considered genteel in th*
army.

I had told him of my escapades as a
boy, and lived to regret that I had
been so indiscreet.

Milllcent had enjoyed herself tre
mendously at the exhibition to which
her mother had taken her. There was
only one thing more she wanted to do,
and that was to go for a trip in one
of the gondolas that floated on the ar
tificial lake.
Her mother was, therefore, very sur
prised when they arrived at the land
ing stage to see a look of terror come
over the child's face..
"Why, Millirent.'' she said, "what's
the matter? Don't, you want to go on
the lake now?'
"No, I don't," said MUlicent. decid

“Why, my dear? You’re not fright-.

POOR MISTER McADOO!
Foor Mr. McAdoo!
Think of the jobs he's hitched up
to!-
The Treasury, the Railroad crew,
The ineome Tax and then a few.
Each week they hand him something
new
To tax his time and temper, too.
He has to know what loans are due.
What source to get his billions through,
What fund to pass each dollar to.
What tax is what, and who is who:
What bonds to sell and what renew,
Which “trust" to coax and which to
sue.
He stretches out each day to two
Tn do the things he has to do.
The job would flodndeb me or you—
But it’s a cinch for McAdoo.

Still McAdOolng.

I wish I'd did what McAdone.
