lion there is a third million, fourth million, a fifth million and still other millions of men.
 We have shown ourselves efficient in production. We have more than made good our promise to send food to our allies. We have organized our industries for war.
 We have firmly resolved that having drawn the sword we will throw away yhe .scabbard and never sheath that sword except in victory.
 Victory a Matter of Money.
 But this war Is a progressive thing. Ii cannot be won through things we have done, but must be carried on to victory through things which we must do in the future. On one side we see that splendid host of young men car rying our banners in the battlefields of France and Flanders. On the other side we must remember that war, and this war more than any other war which was ever waged, iS matter Of food, of shelter, of clothing, of muni- tions, of weapons, of roads, Of en- zines. or cars, of ships. of hospitals, ! OI ulSuICluGB, &uO OA SNVA NAAAO | xlveS to our boys In the field that mag aiflcent dash. and vim, and power which has struck the German soldiers with dismay. ,.... In other words, winning this war is 3 matter of money.
 ! It is a matter of money not only for the treasury of the United States, but Cor all our allies.
 When you buy a Liberty bond or War Savings Stamp it means money tor the United States treasury.
 When you pay your income taxes or any of your other contributions to the government 1t means money for 1 the United States treasury. But money is only representative of value and a medium of exchange 20 not look upon your dollar as mere piece of currency. Do not look | rpOn the United States treasury as 6 mere repository of your funds.
 Our Treasury UphoIdin0 World.
 The United States treasury today Is the god atlas who holds the world upon his shoulders.
 
 1ur allies which needs money. It breathes hope and confidence into any
 allied army which is losing heart. It
 puts in the field the great gun which
 answers the German gun with shot for
 uhot. It keeps our armies going for
 ward instead of backward It holds the line against the German onslaught.
 The treasury of the United States is
 the power behind our own army and
 all the armies of our allies.
 During the coming year this nation
 must raise $24OO0 OOO,OOO. We have
 called these loans in the past Liberty
 loans It is about time to begin call
 ing them Victory loans. Whatever
 we call them, however, $24,OOO, ,OOO, 900
 during the next year the United States government must have to carry out our
 great, magnificent and wOrld-savtng
 program. About $16, 6,OOO, 900, ,OOO of this
 must be raised by loans, and $8.OOO,
 100000 by taxation.
 If we do not raise this money the
 United States treasury will have
 failed, and when tho United States
 treasury fails the war is lost. If the
 war is lost, democracy is lOst-the
 world Is lost.
 The raising of this SPA, 900, ,OOO,OOO is
 a tremendous task. It is the supreme
 test of the greatness of America.
 Must Give Half Our Earnings. The whole earning power of this } country is about $50, ,OOO, ,OOO, 900 year SO that out of every $50 produced in this country during the next year the government must have SPA. The di vision of our wealth during the next year must be practically on a 5G5( basis with the government Now, anyone can see that this thing 7 must be done.
 IT MUST BE DONE! . Anyone can see that if we give 5(
 per cent of all we produce to the gov ) arnment we cannot live as we always
 have lived.
 During the past year or so we have
 just been scraping up the loose change and handing it to the government tC
 finance the war. We must now go tC the very heart of our ability and give
 until this great piece of financial worl is accomplished.
 ? He who pays taxes in whatever form
 they may rest upon him, must pay
 and pay cheerfully, to make up tha $B,OOO ,OOO, 900 which we must raise by r taxation.
 He who has money must invest i , in Liberty bonds and War Savingi
 stamps, so as to furnish his share O , that &16,0OO, ,O0O, 900 which the govern ment must borrow. He who has no money to invest mus a save, and invest his savings. l Must Become Even StinOy. r We must become g saving, an eco [ nomical, 8 thrifty, stingy - nation } towards everything but war.
