W.SS CARRY ON

Germany's acceptance of the armis-
tice terms laid down by the United
States and the allies emphasizes even
more strongly the necessity for buy
ing War Savings Stamps, according
to Daniel ]. Callahan, director of the
District War Savings committee.
THE funds derived from the several
Liberty loan drives and sales of War
Savings Stamps paved the way to this
glorious victory. But We must not
overlook the fact that we must also
furnish the means to bring our boys
hack. and this means is open through
investment in the Governments War
Savings securities.
The District of Columbia has been
assigned asquota OF approximately
S7.5OO.0OO of War Savings Stamps to
sell during the present year, and the
ending of the war does not mean
any cessation of our energies in this
direction. There never was any ques-
tion that the District would fll its
quota. The only question now is how
much over its quota it is going"
