"The war la not over. Look out
for poison gas from Bochedom when

2,000,000 of the bravest and best

rests on the people to continue safe
guarding the health and morale of
our troops. After hostilities have
actually ceased, and a' Just and vic

barous enemies, a long time will
necessarily intervene before Ameri
