THE VICTORY LOAN.

the German rejoicings over the rails
ing of its last war loan by a slight
oversubscription begun to calm a lit
tie when upon the world comes the
mighty tidings that America has faI
oversubscribed five times in excess OF
what the Germans We're just able tC
wiring fro ma land and people sadly
drained of men, morale and money
And America hasn't even begun to
raise money yet.
The effect of this magnificent re-

the nations are playing, game that
works almost equally to break down

physical reverses upon his actual line

1t is this weighty factor to. which
the new Liberty Loan and the fine
spirit, even zest, with which it was
raised by America. with millions q
men and women in every walk of life
eagerly pledging their dollars to their
country's adventure, contributes at
this particular time with direct and
mighty force. 1t ANSWERS the Ger

We have held our money cheap and
