THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
 IS THE FIGHTING LOAN

As the campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan approaches the Ameri- can army in France moves on toward Berlin. Under our own leaders the great American army has won a not able victory.
 The Fourth Loan must be great success. The Fourth Liberty Loan is a fighting loan.
 When our soldiers on the battle front are braving death, each one offering to make the supreme sacrifice for his country and the great cause, we who remain safely at home surely should give them every support, should make every sacrifice to streng- then them If We can not fight our selves We can make our dollars fight
 It is great cause for which Amer ica is engaged in this war; it is a great struggle in which the very hope of the world is bound up that is being waged in Europe and on the high seas. It is an honor to have a part in it and all Americans, all of their lives, will be proud of the part they had in it or ashamed of their failure to do their part
 The Fourth Loan is fighting loan. Every subscriber to the Loan strikes a blow for Liberty. for Victory

ITALY NEEDS AID
TO STABILIZE MONEY
Purchasing Power Of Lire Is Low
and In Foreign Markets
Exchange Goes Badly sF z. =

ROME, June 90 Associated press)
The continued depreciation of Italian
money in foreign markets, despite the
establishment by the government Of the
National Institute of Exchange early
this year for the purpose of reducing
speculation in liry, has led to the pro
posal that Italy's allies help her by
arbitrarily fixing the rates of exchange,
as it is claimed was done with France.
As Italy must import large quantities
of war materials in order to keep In
the fight and as she must pay not only
high current prices but $3.50 of her
money for every dollar of material
she buys, it is pointed out that she is
carrying more than her share Of the war
burden.
Government's Efforts
Since the establishment of the Con
troll by the government of the exchange,
the price q dollar brings in Italy IN
creased from $40 lire to 900; five lirt
being par. value existing before the
war. The gov ernment also forbade the
buying outside Of Italy Of drygoods and
like articles by private companies, and
since then the price of all such neees
sites in Italy has increased far beyond
the proportions Of the exchange. A
yard of wool cloth that sold year age
for twenty lire is now priced at sixty
or more lire, If it may be had at any
price. The price of food produced Il
Italy has also increased TO meet thesi
advances. Vegetables are almost a.
dear as meat, and meat that sold q year
ago for three lire the pound now sells
for seven lire.
The whole question of the exchange
'galue of Italian money has been discuss
ed by series Of articles, from busi
ness men in the PoDolo Romano, at
tempting to locate the causes ~ the
depreciation Of Italian money with the
purpose of finding q remedy. Tn these
articles it is agreed that the deprecia,
ton has not been cansed by the IN.
creased issues Of paper money since the
var. 1t is argued that English and
Treuch paper money, as related to the
gold reserve of these nations, has is
ued in greater promotions than that
# Italv, which has between twenty .fvt
and thirty percent gold reserve.
Germany. it is stated, has but four
teen percent of gold as compared to he
paper issues, her gold reserve being
this high because of her inability to'bu,
| abroad.
Buying Quality Low
| Yet. ItaIy's money has far lowe
Nuving value than the money of thOs
Countries. in Switzerland it takes 81!
ire to buy 100 francs.
| 1t is further argued that Italy's larg
| "'anrn of ir'nnrts aver her exports doe
not explain her difficulties, as in bot
Nrance and England the same dispr"
| lortinn exists.
1t is asserted that II Italy, before sh
