THE BEST INVESTMENT IN THE
WORLD.

From whatever angle it may be
considered. an investment by an
american citizen in Liberty Bonds or
War Savings Stamps is the best in
vestment in the world.
The money so invested goes to the
Government, which loans some of il
to our allies; all of it is used in ono
way or another to maintain, support
arm, equip, and make victorious our
armies and our allies in Europe.
Surely no American money could be
put to a better purpose. Here is an
investment in the power and success
OF our country, an investment in the

THE UNIFYING INFLUENCE OF
THE WAR.

In my own mind l am convinced
that not a hundred years of peace
could have knitted this Nation topeth-
er as this single year of war has
knitted it together, and, better even
than that if possible, it is knitting
the world together. Look at the pic.
ture: In the center of the scene 4
nations engaged against the world.
and at every point of vantage show,
ing that they are seeking selfish ag-
grandlzement; and against them 30

Government has called, registered and
sent to camps, 1,595,70S men. OF
course this doesn't include the num-
Der handled by the registering boards,
by nearly or quite one-half, who were
exempted. Nor does it include the
number of men sent to shipyards and
other departments other than the ar

accomplished without hitch, or frc-
ton, and that, too, through the vol
untrary, patriotic service of the best
men i'll every county and district of
the country. Remember, too, that in
the meantime, this million and half
and more men have been equipped
with uniforms, tents, guns, and all nc
cessary paraphanalia. Add to this
mammoth accomplishment the build

MEMEL MAY BE DEVELOPED
AS LITHUANIAN SEAPORT

In the German song Deutschland
Ueber Allies" which is probably not
being shouted as vociferously today as
it was four years ago. 1t is declared
that Germany stretches from the
Mas to the Memel." AS a matter Of
fact, the German population stops
considerably short of the River Mem
ell. The Memel valley Is inhabited
chiefly by Lithuanians and the sea
port city of Memel, located at its
mouth, is almost wholly Lithuanian
city.
In the middle ages the Lithuanian
race in this region extended up to the
Vistula. But in the 18th century the
Teutonic Knights conquered the ter
ritory and started to oppress the
people. Notwithstanding prosecutions
attempts at Germanizing the popula
ton through school and church ant
the iron rule of the German police
and officials, the northern part o.
East Prussia still remained Lithu
anian.
Memel (called Klaipeda by tn
Iithuanians) is the natural Ltthuan
ian outlet to the Baltic Sea. The Ger
mans could not develop 1t as a por
because there was no mainland be
hind It which was under Germal
control and only narrow strip o
the territory was under German sway
So the Baltic trade went elsewhere

troll Of Lithuania is removed, Meme
