Hasy Difficulties Encountered
The numerous drives Just preceding
this one, and the fact that the country
Is on the verge of another Liberty loan
drive, together with the fact that
many fail to realise that this drive has
a direct bearing on the military situa
tion the world over today, are respon
sible for the difficulty which the work
ers are having., for a more faithful,
nard-wormng lot or men ana women ii
would be difficult to find. One worker
tells this story :
"We had been tramping all afternoon
in i the rain, climbing two and three
flights of stairs in old . rickety houses,
and our contributions consisted of a
few pennies. Finally we came to an
institution, whose head Is a woman,
and she had promised us her contribu
tion, along with the employes' ; as we
entered we speculated on what it would
be, wondering if it would be as much
as '$10. When my co-worker came. out
of the private office and showed me a
check for $50, I burst into tears."
Stores Give Liberally

diplomatic officials here tonight. -

The consummation of a separate peace '
between the central powers and Ukraine t
has removed s the gfeatest,. stumbling;
block in the path of the Teutonic pow- -era.
Roumania, caught between the vlce, '
eventually must meet the Austrian ;
terms, while Serbia and Montenegro, un-
less succored soon, must accept what;
Austria and Bulgaria sees fit to" give i
tbem. or lose everything. . '
Greece, ostensibly an allied factor.. Is ;
lukewarm in her war preparation and 1
diplomatic difficulties may be added to ' -military
obstacles General Gulllamet
must overcome. Should the Teutons f -find
strength enough for .a concerted '
drive against the Salonlkt front and -Greece
fait to respond wholeheartedly,
the whole Salonlki i army will face at
serious situation, officials declared.
Additional proof that Germany con 4 -templates
a drive which will force the . '
allies from the Adriatic, is seen in the j
latest move of - Bulgaria. - In a recent T
interview, the text of which was rees, "
