The world must stand amazed at the
financial strength of The United States
as uncovered by the popular subscript-
ion to the 5000 100000 war loan. At
the close of the 33-day period of sub
scription, July 12th,the applications for
bonds numbered nearly 100000, and
the total amounted to about 81 800, 000,-
900, or over six times the sum needed.
For every soldier at the front, two pat
riotic citizens have stepped forward
with offers of money, at a low rate of
interest, to carry on the war. The
amount of subscriptions of $500 and
less are about SS0,000,0OO Such a
display of financial strength, added to
our extraordinary naval victories at
Manila and Santiago, will open the eyes
of Europe to the fact that the country
which measures power with US does so
at extreme peril.-Ex Governor Hoard
