Soldiers Gave All
For Liberty BOnds
Sacrificed Insurance

Thousands OF soldiers at the
cantonments and camps through
out the nation pledged their last
cent to the Liberty loan. As a
consequence Treasury officials
are hard at work on q plan to
permit them to take out soldiers

debt.
Many OF Uncle Sans new SOL
diers did not know that certain
OF the allowances made them
were withheld from their pay.
They gave freely to the loan. It
is estimated that the total from

cordIng TO a graphic description of

Ietin,
In the dining room, American So

I3 cents, and for 3 cents he can buy

q dish that is almost a meal In itself.
Even Movies shows.
Also at mis- disposal are shower
baths, sterilizers for clothes, barber
shops, and bombproof movie theaters.
All is free, except the food, for which
the charge is only nominal.
The canteen particularly described
by Mr.. Wood is the one that was
opened by Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt, the
FIRST of eleven now under Construction

an hour in the dining room. and the
