the outside OF the Army and Navy we're
aware of the many benefits that the
Bows receive from the Y. N. {. A..
and the accommodating bunch OF Sc

these people are trying to lnise Ms the
same people did with IN, Liberty Loan
Bond Fund.
However. the ones outside the Army
are not entitled TO- all the iaureis for
raising the Liberty Loan Fund to the
sic il went as the boys in Khaki
had bIg slice Ia that pie. for example.
this Fort alone subscribed for little
over 5000. 600. worth of !;nnds which
means that every man IN the fort with
the exception OF yer. few nave al
lotted from -. to $50 of their pay
every month for this purpose. their pay
being a per capita Of seventy dollars
and few odd cents.
