YOUR FIFTY DOLLARS

You pick up the paper and see that Mr..
So and So, the we'll known Chicago mil
onaire, has subscribed for 100000
worth of the second Liberty Loan bonds.
And the next day you see big New York
business firm has subscribed for S1O,OO0,
300 worth. Then you lay your paper down
and say:
"What is the use of my subscribing? The
governs1ent does not need my little $50
Your viewpoint is all wrong. You total
ly misunderstood the object of the present
campaign to enlist popular support for the
loans.
The chances are by dnt of drive in the
great money marts, Uncle Sam could raise
three billion dollars from the big corpora
tons and the wealthy captains of industry
But such loan floated in such a way
would not be a popular loan. 1t would
not represent to the world what the plain
American men and women thought of their
government
The scheme in all these loans is to get
as many of the people interested as pos
sible. The plan is to show to the world this
is not a rich mans war, but a war of all
the people of the United States upon the
ruthless and brutal military autocracy of
Germany.
Not all of us can fight in the actual bat
ties, but most OF us can suDscr1De TO the
loans. 1t is up to each of us to buy what
he can. If you can buy one million dollars
worth, take it. Each must give what he
is able in order to testify to the faith that
is in him.
It is easy to shout for your country, to
wave the flag and cheer when 'sThe Star
Spangled Banner" is played. But this war
cannot be fought with cheers and songs
and flags. 1t has to be fought by men
fully equipped for wa.
For this huge quantities of money are

If everyone of It's will take this to heart
and act upon it, the second great loan will

FRANCE EXPECTS BIG
INFLUX OF TOURISTS
WHEN WAR IS ENDED

New York, Jan. 26-In anticipation
that after the war ends there will be
an enormous influx of tourists to
France to visit the invaded districts
go there as representatives of foreign
industrial and commercial houses,
plans are making to spend 100000
900 in the construction and. enlarge
ment of hotels. This is set forth in
the fourth instalment, made public
today, Of the report of the American
Industrial commission sent to France
by the American Manufacturers Elk
port association. .-t
A campaign of publicity has been
begun through various national
bodies, supported by the French gov
eminent, it is stated, to acquaint the
world with the movement to inaug-
urate a first class hotel system in
France to invite capital to take part
in it.
The hotel training schools being es-
tablished in France; in the belief of
the commission, will be as important
as the we'll known industrial trade
schools of France and other countries.
The report concludes:
1--WE believe that study of the best
American standard practice in heat
ing and ventilating, in electric in
stallation and in elevator service, etc,
could be made advantageou in the
interests of economy and efficiency"

OWNING A SHIP

Owning a ship Is to-day equivalent
to possessing a diamond mine or be-
ing a star actor for a movie
I shall tell you what happened to
one ship owned by a Philadelphian.
The facts we're given to me by the
president of one Of the half-dozen
large banks in the city.
Two months ago this ship, which
originally cost $250,00O, was sold for
'$35O,000. The new owner then char
tered it at $4,000 a month.
A second buyer then appeared, who
gave bonus Of $4,000 for the boat.
Very shortly he resold the property
for which he had paid 100000, for
SITS. 900.
The present owner has chartered
his ship for a year at $4,000 a
month, or $480,000.

devastating Europe puts money in the
pockets of those who carry thither

DEMOCRATS STRIVINc
TO PREPARE PROGRh1

Washington, Jan. .26.-The framing
of a new program for the ren1ainde.'
of the session of Congress that VIII
meet the approval of q caucus of
Democratic senators was the task to
which the Democratic senate steering
committee again set itself today. a
caucus ofSsenate Democrats last Hisht
failed to agree on program.
The caucus divided over the ques-
ton as to which measures should
take precedence, among them being
water power, and corrupt practice
legislation. 1t was urged by many
that neither of these could be enacted
before March 4.
1t is believed that railroad legisla-
ton will be given precedence over
other matter, the sense of the caucus
apparently being that such legislation
should be enacted.
The whole question, however, will
be threshed out at another caucus.
