Did You Notice it?
How many of von have noticed the
queer error in one of the posters ad
vertising the Second Liberty Loan?
The one in brown and sepia, headed by
a portrait of the President. Hanked on
either side by the L . S. colors. rI he
colors are in shape a shield, in length a
banner, and the stripes arc six red and
seven white—just the reverse of "Old
Glory.” Surely a strange error to come
out of the government printing office,
or any other printing office in the
United States for that, matter.

rived from Donian creek last Wednes
day. Mr. Hmeaton's ground on Donian
is so badly glaciered this spring tha:
by the time the icc thaws the season
will be uncomfortably short. In addi
tion to this handicap to mining opera
tions. the cost of all requisites are un
usually high this year. Owing to these
conditions Mr. Smeaton may suspend
operations this season, and he may
make a trip to Good Ne ws bay later.

Londot : John Masefield, the English
poet. playwright and official historian
of Haig’s army in France, predicts that
England's next parliament will be a
labor parliament. It will take unto
itself, he says, the intellectual workers
as well as the hand workers of Eng
land. A good many lords have became
democratized. Reconstruction com
mittees are now preparing for the re
making of England. Mr. Masefield ex
presses the belief that Henderson will
be the controlling factor in the future,
and that England will be saved by the
liberal with his intellect- and the labor
man with his power.

I FOlill Is III liillll
Washington, D. Mar. 2'J- For
; tiie first lime it became officially known
i that General Foch, the celebrated
‘ French commander has been appointed
to the supreme head of all the forces of
the Allies. The first official intimation
that was made in this regard came
from President Wilson who today sent
a message to the first commander of
the Allied armies congratulating him
upon his new authority.
General Foch was unanimously se
, iected for this work. After a close
| canvass of the qualities of all leaders
tiie supreme war council decided that
he should be given the place. Under
him the co-ordination of the Allied ar
mies will be carried out to the very
highest extent.
He will have practically the same
control of the military forces of the
Allied nations that General von Hin
denberg exercises over the Teutonic
armies. His appointment is in line
with the program for closer coopera
tion adopted at the Versailles con
ference at the insistence of the Amer
ican representatives acting under in
structions from President Wilson.

BLACKMAIL METHOD
WAS USED BY KAISER
Washington. March 30.- -Washington
hears that according to a pamphlet is
sued by August Thyssen, a wealthy
German business man, that rich Teu
tons were blackmailed by the kaiser
from the time immediately preceding
the war up to the present time. In 1916
guarantees were asked from 78 German
business men, including Thyssen, that
they would subscribe $1,000,000,000 in
the next war loan. Thyssen declined
to guarantee Ids share—$1.000,000—and
thereafter lost valuable war contracts.
Tn 1912 the Hohenzollerns wanted to
get the support of the commercial class.
Thyssen was promised a free grant of
30,000 acres in Australia and a $7.70,000
loan from the Deutsche bank at 3 per
cent. German business men were also
told that India was to be conquered,
and the kaiser promised special trading
facilities to German firms. A syndicate
was formed to exploit Canada with
$100,000,000 working capital, half of
which was to he provided by the Ger
man government.
