M M . • How Do Your : Sacrifices Compare With These? THE American boy who goes to war gives up the position which means so much to his future, or the little business which has just begun to show ;■ promise of success. He severs home ties; gives up home comforts; leaves behind parents, friends, wife or sweetheart He faces the probability of being obliged to take up life anew when he returns; of losing all the advantages which years of hard work have I; won for him. He faces the possibility of coming back incapacitated for earning a living, and of being dependent upon his friends or upon charity. He faces the possibility of never coining home at all. ■ * Facing these things, he goes to France to fight for us who remain safely at home and when the moment comes for him to go over the top —he GOES! What will he think, how will he feel, if we complain because we are asked to make a few sacrifices for him sacrifices so insigrx nificant when compared with his? ; V®** Show him that to invest in Liberty Bonds is not a SACRIFICE but a PRIVILEGE —an appreciation of his sacrifice! i And When You Buy—Buy/ This Space Paid For and Contributed By The Rensselaer Republican

REBELLION IN HELL PROBABLE WHEN THE KAISER DIES

Big sparks flew from old Satan’s eyes. “What’s this I hear,” said he. They say that when the kaiser dies, he’ll be consigned to me. Old Hell to me is mighty dear, the place is very fine; but if they send that guy down here, believe me, I’ll resign. I’ll stand for murderers and crooks, and I will not disown, that I have now here on my books, the worst thugs ever known. But my boys would get sore I fear; I know they would rebel.' The kaiser cannot enter here, for he would corrupt Hell. Our sulphur is too clean for him, our brimstone lakes too pure, and if in one he took a swim, he’d ruin it I m sure. Our company is. not so swell, vile beasts we won’t reject, but keep the kaiser out of Hell, we have some self-respect.

SEE DRY OPINION HANDED DOWN IN MAY

The decision of the state supreme court on the constitutionality of the state wide prohibition law probably will not be made before possibly April 23 and perhaps not until after the May primary. The supreme court at noon today will recess until April 23 and it is regarded as probable that no decision will be handed down until after that time. The court, in announcing the recess, made no statement regarding the status of the prohibition case, but it is regarded as certain that no decision will be handed down for some time as the Lake county saloonmen who have attacked the law, filed their brief in reply to supplementary pleadings by the attorney general Friday.

SENATE VOTES FOR $2.50 WHEAT PRICE

Washington, April 12.—The controversy over increase of the government minimum guarantee price for I wheat to $2.50 per bushel the senate late today again recorded itself in favor of the increase. It adopted the conference report on the $26,000,000 agricultural appropriation bill and by a viva voce vote insisted on retention of the amendment increasing the wheat guarantee. The wheat question now awaits the vote of the house. Representative Lever, of South Carolina, chairman of the house agriculture committee, conferred with President Wilson late today and said afterward the senate amendment would be vigorously opposed in the house.

GERMAN HOPES WERE HIGH

PRIOR TO MARCH 21—DIARY OF DEAD GERMAN REVEALS GERMAN AIMS. Correspondents’ Headquarters in France, April 14.—A diary was found on the body of a German officer of the 26th Division killed south of Hebuterne on April 6. It reveals the high hopes of the German army before the great offensive of March 21 their enormous concentration of troops and guns and their ambitious plans of driving a wedge between the French and British armies by hurling all their weight against our own front and advancing “in a westerly direction to the ports of Boulogne, Abbenville, etc.” The enemy’s tactics of breaking off attacks where' they are checked and moving at once to another section where the chance of success may be greater are noted by this German diarist. This plan is exactly what has been adopted by the German high command since March 21. The following are extracts from the diary: “March 18—At last we are getting further information about operations on ttiis front. In three armies huge masses of troops are marching forward in a salient south of Arras. “The attacks will be launched at three different points, the code names for which will be ‘Michael 1,2, 3, Zero.’ The day is to be called ‘Michael day.’ This day is also a symbol for German Michaels, a day of revenge. “A general line of advance in- a westerly direction to the ports of Boulogne, Abbeville, etc., in order to separate the British from the French. “If France is left to herself she will come to terms quickly.. Therefore the chief blows are to be directed against the British. Preparations have been so thoughtfully planned that failure is almost an impossibility. In spite of all this, if it should happen that attack is held up at one point, it will be immedately broken off there and troops moved to another sector.

“We have a colossal amount of artillery at our disposal; for instance in our own division, of which only two regiments will be in line, we have sixty-eight batteries and several hundred trench mortars of various calibers. Gas is to be freely used, and an immeasurable quantity of artillery and attacking infantry is to follow up immediately. Large formations follow behind to deal with booty, wounded and prisoners. “We continue to march smoothly. All precautions are being taken with regard to cover, as hostile aircraft are about everywhere. One hears and sees anti-aircraft fire and machinegun fire with tracer bullets. English aviators continually drop star shells to assist them in searching for roads. Everything passes bn smoothly. And it is strange to think of all the masses of troops whcih are marching westward on all the various roads over a wide front tonight. “ ‘Germany on the march.’ “March 20—Our artillery is four times as great as the enemy’s. Tanks are proved as tractors for the heavy guns. The reserve of officers and N. C. O’s is to be detached from the infantry before it goes into action. Up to the present the enemy appears to have noticed nothing of our movement up. “March 21.—An artillery barrage at 6 a. m. in the direction of Michael sector. In the afternoon we went to the wireless station, where at last we got the first news from the front. The attack was a complete success and the 'enemy entirely taken by surprise. Bullecourt, Croiselles and St. Leger are in our hands. The enemy is also giving way in our sector. “Many artillery regiments have gone up, including Austrians. The spirits of the troops are high, especially as we hear that the affair at Verdun has also succeeded. It is very interesting to watch the aerial activity. As the Michaels’ attack succeeded, it seems hardly probable that further attack planned by Mars, to which we belong will take place. /Copyright, 1918, by the N.Y. Times)

16 CLUBS EYE STARTER AS TRAINING TRIPS END

Promptly at three o’clock Tuesday afternoon, “Silk” O’Laughlin and seven other umplets will climb from the dugouts and stride majestically towards the home pltes in eight of the big leagues parks of the country, draw forth their little whisk brooms and sweep away imaginary dirt. This little> function performed, the husky voiced arbiters will announce the batteries as Umpty-um-tum and Siskovjtch and the championship races of the Majors will be on for the season of 1918. Sixteen ball clubs closed their training trips Tuesday and are today awaiting the pistol. Training trips were not for so extended this season as the magnates wished to cut down expenses. The war has taken many stars from the game and consequently the drawing power of certain clubs has been lessened. Perhaps the game will not be up to the standard of former years, but President Wilson asks that baseball be kept going in order that the fans may take their minds off of the sterner problems at hand for a short time each day. . In the National 'New York looks like a winner with Cincinnati close up, while in the American' the champion Hose should repeat with Boston giving them a battle all the way to the tape.

“BUMMER” STILL UP AND AFTER THE HUNS

In France, March 20, 1918. Dear Folks: — Received your letter the other day and was sure glad to hear from you. I see you have forgotten to date it, but I receive them anyway unless the ship goes down. I am trying to use the typewriter in the office, but it does not work very well. Received word from my insurance. It came through all right and costs me six dollars and sixty cents a month. Did you get my letter asking for a fountain pen, films, printing, paper, developer and printing frame. I can not get any of that stuff here. My camera is a folding Brownie No. 2, size 2% by 3%. We are having some rainy weather now, and I guess this whole month will be that way. lam sending some good souvenirs to Mr. Hilliard’s store —a German star shell, a German coat, and two pieces of shrapnel, one from an aerial bomb and the other from a shell which demolished the little shed our cars stand in when we are at the post. You may look at the coat and guess what happened to the Boche that was inside of it. It is getting d——-d hot around here now-a-days. As soon as I can get the pictures made of the decoration of the Section, I will send you one, I think they will be good. The French shot down three Boche planes here in two days. One fell in b. Man’s Land and neither side could go out to it, another fell on this side and the other managed to plane back home, but was badly winged. One of oui drutgrs took the ‘cook to the post last night and the Germans sent over three thousand big shells in and all round the post ( censored) there, and many pther things that I cannot mention, therefore cook decided the best place io be is back at camp in the little kitchen. We are ordered to cut down on our baggage. We cannot keep our trunks with us, therefore I am sending it to the American Express Co. f>- srotage, wh’. :n will cost me a 1 out "ftv ce...s per u-ontr.

They have not seen any service yet, only having arrived here two months ago. Well, I cannot think of much more to write, so will close for this time.
