soundest security ever offered to pro-
tect that enormous wealth and there
is not q single citizen OF the United
States who does not nave q share In
that wealth.
In time of war. our personal inter
ests must be sacrificed. and our Lib
erty loan committee stands ready to
explain the loan to groups Of people
anywhere. at any time, and we are
particularly anxious to have speakers
volunteer for service on our commit
tee.
The District Of Columbia Is expected
to subscribe to a minimum amount OF
about 100000 Every citizen should
feel II his or her duty to help Us far
exceed this amount. and our committee
Is hoping that our minimum shall not be
below 100000. but this can be accom-
plished only by laying aside partisan
feeling. subscribing to the bonds and
showing our patriotism in a cause for
which so many are offering their lives
I cannot close without giving an addi-
tional word about the security for the
loan. and in doing 50 may I call your
attention that there are. roughly esti-
mated. over 100000 families in the
United States and the average annual
income Of q family II approximately
8. 800 The yearly income Of the coun-
try at large IL estimated at not less than
so, 900. 900. 000-some economists estimate
It as high as $1,000 10000 The bonds
of the Liberty loan will mature In thirty
years. In that time the aggregate In
come Of the people Of the United States,
allowing for no future increase. will APP

thus can be seen how small a tax In

Thank God our libersting lance
Goes flaming on the way TO France:
To France-the trail the Gurkhas found!
To France-old Engiand's rallyinE ground!
To France-the path the Russians strobe.
TO Frsnce-the AnEaes glory road
To France-where our Lost Legion ran
To hght and die for God and man!
To France-with every race and breed
That hates oppression's brutal creed!
All. France-how could our hearts forget
The path BY which came lafayette
How could the hare Of doubt hang low
Upon the road Of Rochambeau:
How was q that we missed the way
Brave Jotfre leads US along today
There IL no tribal Liberty!
No beacon lighting Just our shores
No freedom guarding but our doors
The fame she kindled for our sires
Burns now in Europe's battle fires!
The soul that led our fathers west
Turns back 10 free the worlds oppressed!
Allies, you have not called in vain!
We share your conflict and your pain
''Od Glory" through new stains and rents.
Partakes OF Freedoms sacramento
Into that hell his will creates
We drive the foe: his lusts. his hates!
Last come we will be last to stay
Till Right has had her browning day!
Replenish. comrades. from our veins
The blood the sword OF despot drains,
And make our eager sacrifice
Part OF the freely rendered price
You pay to lift humanity
You paw TO make our brothers free
See, with what proud hearts We advance
To France!
