"MEN WANTED TO KILL GERMANS" - il WANTED?Men who are fighting mad and eager to kill Germans: positions in tank corps open to responsible part I el; action on fighting front guaranteed with- 1 In one month of enlistment; no guaranty of safe return, but assurances given that those enlisting will get their crack at the Hnn; men below and above draft ages accepted, from seventeen to fprtyr one. Apply U. 8. A. recruiting station. Forty-second street and Sixth avenue. This is the wording of an advertisement inserted in a New York paper by the recruiting staff for the Tank Corps of the United States Army. Great Britain has the tanks, more tanks than she has crews, and Uncle Sam wants to supply the crews. "Only two-fisted fighting men are wanted for the Tank Corps," said a recruiting sergeant. "We want only men who are eager to go out and kill Germans and don't care what happens to them just so they succeed In that laudable ambition. Germans stand between the world and peace. The more Germans we kill the nearer Cjji we get to peace. The sooner we kill the Germans the sooner we will have peace. The motto of the Tank Corps is 'Kill Germans." Kill them early, late and all the time, but kill them sure." CURTAILMENT OF PARCELS '-;i A MILITARY NECESSITY A statement has been issued by the War Department explaining that the recent order forbidding the sending of merchandise to American Boldiers "Over There" unless they requested it was a military necessity. Records furnished by officials on the trans-Atlantic steamers showed that every week 250 tons of merchandise has been sent to the members ,of the American Expeditionary Forces by their relatives in this conn- try. It was not only the weight but the bulkiness of the hundreds of thousands of packages that took up . v? so much room on the steamers as to crowd off war equipment actually needed by General Pershing's forces. It is explained by the War Department that the recent order does not . ^ | mean thf& the relatives and MendB^.-f cannot send articles to the American soldiers in France, but each package | must have In it the request the sol- \ dier sent that such articles' be forwarded to him. Unless the package contains the soldier's request and ' ' " "3? I the sender writes, "This parcel con- tains only articles sent at approved request of addressee, which is enclosed," on the package, it will not be sent to France. The request of iii? ?Mio. mimt ho annroved bv his commanding officer. In France the American soldiers ffcj can-bay a great variety of articles and it is not necessary to send them to the fighting men. The list of articles the soldiers can buy abroad includes the following: Biscuits, books, brushes, bouillon, candies, candles, canned goods, holiday cards, chewing gum, chocolate, cigarettes, cigars, combs, dental creams, various soft drinks, flashlights, fruit, handkerchiefs, heaters, jam, knives, leather goods, malted milk, condensed milk, evaporated milk, mirrors, nuts, pencils, pipes, raaors, shoe polish, shoe laces, soap, sponges, tobacco, towels, and woolen gloves. x SOLDIERS CAN HELP jW Soldiers in training who do not feel that they can carry any more Ldueny DUUUO UO , . ble assistance to their country by urging their relatives, friends, and, in fact, every one with whom they come in contact, to purchase them. It is believed that if the soldiers take up this task they can make a great success of it. Every parent who has given a son to the nation's fighting forces should purehase Liberty ,Bonds to help keep that son supplied with the essentials of war. . ~ That is what is being donfe with the money raised through the sale of Liberty Bonds: buying food, clothing, equipment, rifles, bullets, bayonets, etc.. for the American soldiers, and with which they are confidently expected to win the war. '-iAside from the patriotism such purchases represent the beat investment in the world. All of the money in the U. 8. Treasury and all the property owned by the United States Government backs up these bonds and they are as good as "old wheat in the mill." In addition to this, the rate of interest, 4% per cent. Is generous and will make a good return on
