FREQUENTLY we hear the
! query: "How much must
| do toward winning the warp
With the realization of the duty of
the citizen comes, as a natural
sequence, the consideration of
just what part he shall play in
the struggle that is convulsing
the entire world, and the man
who has comprehended the vast
import of this war, who has looked
to the future and compared what
a German victory would mean as
against what an Entente Allied
victory would mean, never asks,
what MUST | do?" but what
MAY | do?" toward winning the
war. Asking what you must do
Is asking how little you can dc
and yet retain the respect of the
community in which you live.
If you have the proper concep-
tion of your duty you will do all
you can and seek to do more, and
the limit of sacrifice will not be
reached. We have not yet begun
to sacrifice, and have only a re-
mote idea of what the actual war
fare is.

when the boys come back from
Berlin will have to apologize for

1t is we'll to remember, too, that

be the ones who will make and

that they will permit your life to

money-grabbing while they were
fighting for your safety? No,
their minds will go back to the
CORY battlefelds of Europe and
the picture Of the mangled forms
of thousands of their comrades

and in righteous wrath they will
show you that picture. And as
they point to you that vision OF
what their dead comrades have
given they will demand Of you
that you search your soul and an.

WAR FINANCING
BILL. Pre- PARED
Measure Would Create Govern
ment Corporation to Finance
All industries of Vital
Importance.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Virtually pro-
viding for control Of private financing
during the war, the administration war
finance corporation bill was introduced
simultaneously today in the Senate and
the House. Financing of war indus
tries hampered by present conditions
is the principal object
The bill would create the federal war
finance corporation with 100000, 600
capital and power to issue 81, 900 600, 900
in short term notes to afford financial
assistance, either directly or Indirectly
to persons, firms, corporations and as
sociations whose operations are neces-
sary of contributory to the prosecution
of the war"
Operations of the corporation would
be limited to six months after peace is
declared and most of it's operations
would be in conjunction with the fed
eral reserve boards, although the bill
provides financial advances directly lin
exceptional cases" to persons or cor
porationS.
In requesting prompt passage Of the
bill Secretary McAdoo has advised con-
gress leaders that it is necessary be-
cause many war and related industries
are seriously inpeded by inability to
secure new capital, due largely to the
great drains made upon the national
finances by the government war loans.
Considerable opposition is deemed
certain by members of congress who
object to comforting such sweeping
powers over private industries.
