PETROGRAD, June 20.—Germany f
Is using alcohol and ink now on the
east front instead of powder, and
peace propoganda circulated among
the Russian soldiers is causing morel
harm than bullets. That a carefully1
planned attempt is being made to un
dermine the strength of the Russians
despite all attempts to stop communi-|
cation between the German and Rus-'
sian trenches seems certain. German
liquor appears in the Russian lines
each morning, and each morning are
found, thousands of neatly printed or
carefully written notes and letters
deposited near the Russian trenches.
That Germany’s cause is desperate
is evidenced by the ltsks taken by the
agents, who run a cha.ice of being
electrocuted or shot while approach
ing the trenches.

Enlist Your Dollars
In the War
In this time of our country’s crisis an idle dollar is
as much a “slacker” as an idle man. Are your dol
lars doing their duty?
“The Liberty Loan of 1917” invites the immediate
response of the American people. Every dollar sub
scribed will help make it a success. The quicker the
better.
Armies of dollars are an absolute necessity for
national defence. Unless the dollars at home
stand back of them, the soldiers in the field can
not do their utmost to protect our households
and our freedom.
