$1.642, $50 Is Figure Here.


Surely, but too slowly, New Britain
is climbing up towards it's ultimate
goal of $3,17S,00O for the Victory
Loan. Today the figures were only
$1,G42,15O and the message of the
general committee is speed speed
and then more speed On Thursday
night there will be a meeting of this
committee.
AS yet however, there has been no
report of the factory canvassers and
none will be made until the campaign
in each plant is completed Noon-day
rallies at the factories are proving
effective and astcr-At-Arms Pratt

Canadian ExpeditiOnary Force. who
has been making such a big hit here
about with his stories Of the war.
Managers Of the campaign wish to
warn the people against the idea that
peace is near and that therefore there
is not the urgency for subscribing for
bonds. There is every reason for en-
tering into the subscriptions with more
enthusiasm than ever, if there is the
possibility of an immediate peace,
which is extremely doubtful. This
only adds to the value of the bonds.
The money is needed; and if the war
should stop tomorrow it certainly does
not mean that the expenditures are
going to stop. Uncle Sam has big
army over in France and they GER
tainly deserve the best of care, with
the record that they are making.
Every bond purchaser is doing his part
to provide for the worlds best fighting
force which is making the German
Kaiser take the count.
