The moment the German people be-

Germans would prefer to fight to the

What the President is trying to
achieve Is a victory over the military
power of Germany by weakening the
morale of the people who hitherto
have sustained it. If the German
people can be made to feel that the
nation will not be destroyed because
President Wilson means to apply
what he said in his New York speech
about being just to those to whom we
do not wish to be just. the prevailing
opinion in executive quarters is that

aroused this morning when they re-

Richmond announcing that 1t had
gone over the top and challenging
all other large cities in the fifth fed

million, is well over the top and still
going. Challenges every large city in

Money Already Spent.

Secretary McAdoo yesterday directed
strong argument at persons who
have been led by peace talk to feel
that their money would not be need
ed. His argument was that tremen-
dous war expense will continue for
many months, regardless of the out
come of Germany's peace efforts.
Few Americans realize, it was point
ed out, that the money being raised in
this loan has already been spent to
large extent.
More than three-fourths OF the six
billions expected, or $4.66o. 900, 900,
must go to pay off short-term certif1-
Gates issued in bi-weekly blocks since
last June to get current funds with
which to pay the nations war bills.
The difference between that sum and
the six billions is not enough to run
the government for one month.
Consequently, unless the fourth loan
is greatly oversubScribed, and cash
payments comes in literally at once.
the Treasury will have to begin soon
to issue more certificates for current
expenSes-these to be repaid out of
proceeds from the fifth liberty loan.
Secretary McAdoo is anxious that all
citizens understand this situation, be-
lieving that their subscriptions in the
final days of the campaign will be
more willing and of larger proper
lions if based on Intelligent compre-
hension of the governments dollar
needs.

HOPE OF GOAL is Renewed

The fourth liberty loan today reached
the home stretch of the campaign with
$4,25o, 100000 subscribed and $780,
100000 remaining to be raised.
Despite this tremendous unsubscribed
balance campaigners throughout the
country reported they would be satisfied
with nothing less than oversubscriptions
New Spirit Manifested.
It was apparent from the flood of
early morning Geographic reports to
headquarters that a new spirit per-
vaded loan committees everywhere to
go far above the individual marks set
for them. This prompted national
campaign managers to hope anew for a
large oversubscription.
Scores of messages today told of
plans for suspending business in COM
munities tomorrow to minimize inter-
ference with the last days roundup.
Several hundred thousand men and
women who heretofore have taken
only a passive interest in the loan
drive have been enrolled as solicitors

SWAT THE WEEDS
UNDER THE GROUND

Most garden weeds can be killed be-
fore the show above the surface by
stirring the surface soil with the gar
den rake, cultivator or hoe, says R. S.
Macintosh, University Farm. Guilt
walton to keep the soil in proper condi-
ton for the crops is better than cult
walton to kill the weeds. The old
adage, "A stitch in time saves nine'' is
all right, but it might as well be made,
in gardening, 'Cultivation in time kills
ninety-nine.''
Cultivation or tillage aids in chang
ing the soil SO that the crop can have
better chance to find the food materials
needed to produce the food men want.
The rule of the specialist is: Cultivate
often; cultivate after every rain.
All fortunes have their foundations
laid in thrift. Buy War Savings
Stamps Of your Postman or Banker.
