When you buy United States Lib
erty Bonds remember that you are
buying the bonds of the richest nation
on earth, the one most abundantly
blessed by nature and by man, the
producer in the greatest quantity OF IA
commodities that the world demands.
Remember, also, that no other coun-
try in the world leads in more than
three, and that Germany, Austria-Hun'
gary, Turkey and Bulgaria lead in
none.
Nobody is entitled to any special
credit for believing in the country that
is so tremendously richer than any
other nation. The man who doesn't
believe in the nature-blessed y. s. A.
is to be pitied.
If you have not yet bought your
United States Liberty Bonds. see your

General G. G. Vaughan, Jr.. Of Nor.
folk. brigade commander of the vir-a
ginia militia was in the city yesterday
to go over with General w. w sale
plans for the trip of the Fourth regt-
ment to Washington to participate In
the inaugural parade. Practically all
the details have been arranged for
the troops. They will be ordered out
the latter part of the week. and are
scheduled to reach Washington early
next Monday morning.
II was learned yesterday that thej
Virginia troops in the inaugural pa
rade will occupy the fourth place n
line, and this Is looked upon with
great pleasure by Virginia military
men on account of the fact that the
places in the line will be allotted
based on the military rating Of tho
states. On this basis only three states
VIII outrank Virginia. these being New
York. Pennsylvania and Delaware.
Formerly the position of the state
troops In the line was in order of the
states acceptance Of the constitutions.
Virginia was not among the first Of
these, and il that plan prevailed. the
troops OF this state would be given =
different position.

General Sale will today send an Of
ginia on the staff of the chief mar
shall in arranging for the parade. This
is being done at the request Of the war
department. Just who the officer will
be has not been announced. but Gem
eral Sale is now considering two
names.
The Fourth regiment is in excellent
condition and will make a handsome
appearance when they march In
Washington. The regiment Is re-
cr,Iited to peace strength. and. with
officers and men, will total about 500
men The men are we'll trained.
equipped and will make showing Of
which. military men say. Virginia win
be proud.
Colonel T. T. Goodwin. Of Empo-s
ria. is commander of the regiment.
In addition to the Fourth infantry.
there will also be in the parade two
coast artillery companies from RoA-
noke and Lynchburg the Virginia
Military institute cadets, who on ac-s
count of their military standing will
act as the personal escort of Governor
Stuart. and the cadets of the Virgtni1
Polytechnic institute.
1t has not been decided whether
the Fourth regiment will go to Wash
ington by rail or water. RI by water.
they will. of course, meet in Norfolk
taking the steamers at that point. It
is preferable. Il appears, for the men
to make the trip by rail. and X 80.
they travel over the Norfolk and
Western. the trains going from Em-8
poria to Franklin, and another from
Suffolk to Norfolk, picking up the
troops at those points and bringing
them on to Petersburg. where a single
train will be made and the men
started for Washington.
