REVEALS FOES' DIRE STRAITS
German Potter Reproduced by Bureau
of Publicity Proof of Shattered
Morale of Enemy.
A poster recently Issued by Ihe Im
perial Herman government in an effort
to belittle the participation of America
In the war and thus strengthen the
morale of her people form the text of
one of the most striking pieces of litera
ture that the bureau of publicity of
the wur loan organization has prepared
for use in the forthcoming Fourth Lib
erty loan.
The center of the poster Is devoted
to a drawing showing New York city
on one side of the Athintir and a tre
mendous explosion on the other side,
probably somewhere in France. Two
t inking vessels are shown in the lane
of travel between New York and
France, while in the ofling are two
t'-boats securely afloat. “Opportunity
for the Herman U-boats!” is the catch
line for this section of the poster.
The lane of travel In which the boats
tire sinking hears tills inscription:
"America—Europe. Distance 200 times
greater than from Fugluud to France
mainland." In u corner of this sec
tion of the poster are shown the names
of Serbia. Montenegro, Italy. Rou
tnania, Russia and Belgium. They are
lined up In the order named under an
other exploding flgure representative
of ihe European wur, and the names
of all the countries except Italy are
crossed out, indicating that they have
been eliminated from the struggle by
the Huns.
The title of the poster is “Cnn
America's Entry Make a decision of the
War?" Integral sections of it attempt
to convince the reader that America's
army cannot take tlie place of Rus
sia’s withdrawn forces; that the Unit
ed States cannot build enough ships
r»* have any*effect on the result of the
war, and that the U-boats will destroy
virtually all the ships that America
can build when those ships at
tempt to cross the ocean.
Two millions of the booklets have
been print (Ml and will he distributed
in various parts of the country, par
ticularly in theaters where Liberty
Loan speakers tuke the hook as their
text.
Every effort Is made in the wording
sud the illustrations of the poster to
minimize and ridicule the efforts of the
United States in the war. A striking
example of tills Is found in the figure
of. Uncle Sam, who is pictured as a
cudaverous Individual who wears an
American Hag with nine stars and five
arr'.pes around his plug hat and smokes
u long-stemmed cob pipe. He also ap
pears to Is* wearing spats or dancing
pumps.
The enormous figure of a Russian
soldier Is tin* first object on the poster
to strike the eye. He stands with
hands in bis overcoat pockets, indica
tive of the fact that lie is through
fighting. Reside him stands Uncle Sam
holding a small figure, designed to
represent the United States army, in
his right hand. In Id* left hand Unde
Sum carries n banner which hears the
inscription. “America twentens to
send truns|Mirt of one-half million men.
Rut It cannot ship them!” Relow
Uncle Satn are these words: “It is
Impossible for America to train and
fit *llll iu Uni** for the European war a
suitable and sufficiently large army
and provide It with the necessary re
enforcement s.” The calclillne of lids
section of tlie poster Is “Russia's army
of millions could tml down Germany,"
and on the skirt of the Russian sol
dier’s overcoat itr# printed these
words: “Russia used up altogether
fifteen million men In vain!"
On the opposite side of tlie poster is
this entcldine: “Englaml : s sea power
und England's merchant marine have
not decided the war!” Relow this
line appeal's a huge figure Intended to
represent the English shipping facili
ties at the outbreak of the wur, which
hears these words: "England went
into the war with twenty million gross
registered tons of freight space."
Alongside this figure of u ship Is a
drawing designed to show' Uncle Sum
carrying tlie United States tonnage un
der his left arm. The caption above
Uncle Barn reads: “Can America re
pine#* England on sea?" On tlie ship
which Uncle Sam carries is printed
this Inscription: "Three million gross
registry tons" and below that is an
other inscription which says: “At tlie
beginning of tin* war America had on
ly ii tonnage of three million gross reg
istered tons." Commenting on these
statements, tlie (winter further declares
"America cannot Increase her gross
registered tons for 1018 by more than
two to two and a half million tons.
Our U-boat* sink twice ns quickly as
England und America can build!"
The answer of the publicity bureau
to the two sections of the poster refer
ring to the transportation of men und
the building of ships follows: “At the
moment the bulletin hoards of Her
many scoffed tlie possibility of Amer
ica sending a to France, there
were already more than a million light
ing men overseas, and transports,
walled about by the American navy de
fying the cowardly submarines, were
bearing every month hundreds of
thousands more. -The gauge Is set and j
the summer of HMD will see 4.000,000
fighting American men in France. Nor !
will there he u lack of ships to trails I
port and sustain them. Tin* Liberty
Rond buyer Is fast giving to America 1
a merchant, marine that will In* the 1
peer of any In the world. America
launched in July alone tk’ls,oll tons, j
Losses to allied and neutral shipping
combined, from every cause, for the ,
last six months, amounted to 2.080,
tons.
"The distance from New York to
England, tlie Roche points out,’’ com
incuts tin* bureau of publicity publi
cation, “is two hundred times greater
than that from England to France,
from which he spells ‘Opportunity for
tlie Herman U-hoats.' Pitiful is this
boast iu face of the facts, instead of
the U boat being an unconquerable
engine of wur, as the Hun confidently
expected. It has become the slinking
foe of fishing smacks and other iso
lated cruft. The vast army of Liberty
Bond buyers, thirty millions strong,
has built an unbroken bridge over the
Atlantic ocean into the heart of tin*
enemy’s strongholds. Across this
bridge there are streaming our mil
lions of fighting men. as good us the
world has ever known, munitions and
equipment that have been wrought by
those back home, whose determination
is that tlie American fighting man shall
lack noth rug that he needs."
As a back-handed slap at tin* French,
the Herman propagandists have repro
duced a French poster which pleads
with French people to eat less in or
der that the United Ntutcs may send
over more mini power. The French
poster pointed out that if every per
son in France would save a hundred
grams of food a day that the American
reinforcements could lie Increased a
division a month. The French catch
line on this poster was "Does France
want wheat or men?" and the Herman
poster remarks “Also the allies are
now beginning to have tlielr doubts!"
In n further effort to convince the
Herman people that It will be Impos
sible for the United States to inns
port troops to France, tin* Herman
section of tlie poster says that ten
tons of freight space are required for
every soldier In crossing the water.
The truth Is that a soldier requires
less than one-half this amount of
space.
Summing up all tlie falsehoods which
tin* Herman poster contains, the book
let says: “The War Lord of (Ger
many may have the futile hope that
his people will devour In tlie place of
food, such statements as the forego
ing. Falsehoods, however, are poor
substitutes mid are likely to aggra
vate rather than appease when the de
luded people of Herimiu.v learn that
every requirement of the American
soldier will be met by Ills patriotic and
unqualified support hack home. If a
single soldier required ten tons of
freight space, it would he given him
Rut the truth is In* requires less than
one-half of flint
“As for Gerniufly’s statement that
even If the United States built from
two and n half million gross regis
tered tons in Ibis, it would not mean
deliverance for the allies, no further
Comment is needed than that by July
of tills year the 2.000,000-ton mark
has been passed. If further refu
tin'# ■() of tin* Hun boast of his
U-boat prowess wore needed. It might
lie stated that less than f»00 American
soldiers have lost their lives in tin*
present war as a result of U-boat at

VITAL ISSUES OF WAR STATED
BY EXECUTIVE IN FOURTH
LIBERTY LOAN SPEECH.

First, the Impartial Justice meted
out must Involve no discrimination
between those to whom we wish to
be Just and those to whom we do
not wisli to be Just. It must be a
Justice that plays no favorites and
knows no standard but the equal
rights of the several peoples con
cerned.
Second, no special or separate In
terest of any single nation or any
group of nations can be made the
basis of any part of the settlement
which is not consistent with the
common interests of all.
Third, there can be no leagues or
allld ROM or special covenants and
understandings with the general
and common family of tlie league
of nations.
Fourth, and more specifically,
there cun be no special, selfish eco
nomic combinations within the
league and no employment of any
form of economic boycott or exclu
sion except as the power of eco
nomic penalty by exclusion from
the markets of tlie world may b“
vested in the league of nations it
self us a means of discipline and
control.
Fifth, all international agreements
and treaties of every kind must be
made known In their entirety to
the rest of the world.
New York.—The price of peace will
be impartial justice to all nations, the
instrumentality indispensable to se
cure it Is a league of nations formed
not before or after, but ut the peace
conference; and Germany as a mem
ber "will have to redeem her charac
ter not by whut happens at the peace
table, but by what follows." This was
President Wilson’s answer, given
Friday night before an audience of
Fourth Liberty Ixrnn workers here to
the recent peace talk from the central
powers, although he did not refer spe
cifically to the utterances or enemy
leaders
Shortly before the President started
speaking, news of the further suc
cesses of American, British and
French offensives on the western
front reached the meeting at the Met
ropolitan opera house, and this gave
dramatic point to Mr. Wilson’s perora
tion that “peace drives can be effect
ively neutralized and silenced only by
showing that every victory of tin* na
tions associated against Germany
brings tin* nations nearer the sort of
peace which will bring security and
reussurunce to all p#*oples and muke
tin*, recurrence of another such strut*
gle of pitiless forces and bloodshed
forever impossible, und that nothing
els#* can."
"We are all agreed," he said, “that
there can be no peace obtained by
any kind of bargain or compromise
with the governments of the central
empires, because we have dealt with
them already and have seen them
deal with oth«»r governments that
were parties to this struggle, at Brest-
IJtovsk and Bucharest. They have
convinced us that they are without
honor and do not intend justice. Thev
observe no covenants, accept no prin
ciple but force and their own in
terest.’’
Five thousand persons who filled
the Metropolitan opera house to ca
pacity heard the President. Five niln
ut**s before his arrival a guard of sol
diers. sailors and marines seated at
the rear of the platform were sud
denly ordered to attention. They
arose with a smart click of rifles, the
national colors were advanced, and
the great audience became silent un
til the President, without other warn
ing #>f - his coming, walked on the
stage, escorted by Benjamin Strong,
governor of the federal reserve bank
of New York. Then a tremendous
burst of cheering broke loose, which
caused tlie President, arter taking his
seat, to rise three times in acknowfr
«*dgem«»nt.
Mr. Strong read to the audience a
summary of late reports showing
American troops' advances during the
day in France.
"Our boys in France do not learn
readily when to stop fighting." he
added. "That is the spirit in which
we must raise the Liberty Loan.”
Cheers greeted the news of the
American successes, particularly
when Mr. Strong sai#l Hu* Yankee
troops in their drive had reclaimed
10U square miles of territory for
France.
