VICTORY LOAN AND DErEATLoAN

simultaneously with our fourth war
loan campaign. Germany is floating
her ninth loan. The amount is not
given. but il is thought TO be about
$4,000, 100000, half the size of ours. II
will be interesting 10 see how the two
loans are welcomed in the two coun-
tries.
The German loan, like its predeces-
sors. is called Victory Loan" In
view of the present military situation,
that title must sound to the weary and
disheartened German people like a
piece of bitter irony.
1t would be difficult to imagine two
loans offered to two nations under
more strikingly different conditions.
In America, victory is in the air.
There is an atmosphere of enthusiasm
and conviction of absolute success.
We have begun to play our part in the
war, and ii is already proved a tri-
umphant and decisive part. We have
beaten the Germans in every clash.
Our powers are waxing as theirs wane.
Our allies now share our own moral
strength. and allied arms are winning
spectacularly on every front.
For two and one-half months every
report from any active battlefront has
been a story of allied success. During
this same period, naturally, all the
truthful news reaching Germans has
necessarily been bad news.
German spirits must be as low as
ours are high. Pessimism and despair
must reign in Central Europe as
optimism and hope reign here
In these circumstances. ours is the
Victory Loan" and Germany's. what
ever she may call it. is the Defeat
Loan" The best she can hope to do
with the funds raised is TO ward off de-
feat a little longer knowing the
futility of their past sacrifices, how
can the German people be counted on
to make new sacrifices?
We are challenging Germany with
our dollars as well as our fighting
men. We have the most persuasive and
compelling reasons we have ever had
for lending to our Government every
dollar we can squeeze out of our in
come of savings. The end is in sight
the triumphant and righteous end
that we so eagerly desire-and we
know that the bigger we make the
loan. the sooner that end will come.
In this loan. matched against Ger
many's. we must win an overwhelm-
ing victory. Our army. then. will
quickly do the rest.

AN OLD FASHIONED VICTORY

Speaking of the Palestine campaign,
a London dispatch says: THE war
can show few examples of so swift and
clean a victory"
1t is also an old-fashioned victory.
That very fact had much to do with
its swift and clean-cut qualities.

Gen. Allenby routed and destroyed the
Turkish armies in the Holy Land is a

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eus sachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a'rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
closed. Deafness is the result Unless
the Inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Cetarrh Medicine acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness

Chataaurouy, France, Aug. 26.
Mr.. Dear Tindal:
have been intending to write YOU
scr a month, at least, but it was an
mpossibility up to the time they
sent me back here to the base hos
pital for gas The Germans though!
hey had my number, but they didn't.
They tried for long time before they
could put me out and they did not
complete the job then. but boy, that
is some feeling when you get that
stuff into your system. The first
wIliff tastes and smells good. but
just wait a few seconds and thI
nausea is awful. When that is over
your chest, throat and eyes worry
you, but I will be back soon to tr>
lie Boche again. If I could tell you
half of what 1 saw before left the
ront YOU would hardly believe it, but
you should see the way our boys go
into battle the way they face the
.Dutchmen" You never hear of any
IF our men getting shot in the back;
t is always in front. If one walks
over a field where. American troops
ave fought, the ones you see dead al
ways die with their faces toward Ger
many and never toward France. The
spirit they show is something wonder
full and one of the greatest sights to
,,e seen is Yankee and. Frenchman
lighting side by side. There is no
-.Kamerad" in either Of them and theE
will stick until the last. Very often
our advance was too fast for sup
plies to reach us Immediately and
when the boys found no Chow" they
oniv smiled and said, We'll. boys
veil eat monkey food (if we have Il:
in cur packs) and make out unu'
the chow comes" You never near
them grumble
Very often 1 have seen as many as
ION airplanes in a scrap. You can
easily see that we have the best ava
tors by the way they maneuver up

sagements. The fact is. 1 have seen
great many fights and have seen
only one Allied plane come down yet.
That may not sound exactly correct
nut it is. I have seen the Germans
!! come down in flames, forced to earth
and Dutch aviators taken captive
