 The Fourth Liberty Loan will more surely bring home to the German na- ton the inevitability of defeat because at this time they are floating their ninth war loan. Whatever total they reach under the pressure they apply to their citizens and their patchwork scheme of converting all forms If in- vestment into war bonds, the six bill lions and more of the Fourth Liberty Loan will far overshadow it.
 With America-a home showing half the fighting spirit of its men in France, the six billion dollars of tEe loan would be doubled in a week.

Editor of The Banner The letter
by our famous townsman, Mr.. John

money could be raised If sufficient
vim and pep were thrown into the

a modest building at least, but the
permanent upkeep OF such an institu-

feature in the whole scheme. It was
the stumbling block over which the
promoters fell Finally, the fever Of
impotence TO have a building Of this
kind really visualized to these men

MORE WORKERS WANTED
Y. M. c. A. and Knights of Columbus
Both Need Men.

A renewed and urgent appeal is
being made for workers in various
parts of Europe by all the seven diff
ferent organizations who are partici-
pating in the United War Work Drive.
The need is acute because of the
large number of present workers
whose terms of service have expired
and who must come home, and be-
cause the needs in workers have
never been met. Large numbers OF
workers have broken down trying to
do the work OF two or more.
Many restrictions which have here
tofore barred applicants from going
will be removed. and the chief quail
tications will be physical fitness,
character and ability.
There will be much to do by the
war work organizations for long
time to come, with the army and navy
or the forces of our Allies, and the
populations OF different countries.
OF course. the desire TO serve must
be the motive that prompts one to en-
list, but nobody will deny man or
woman the personal value of such a
great experience 1t win be second
only to serving under fire, and it is
an opportunity OF a lifetime.
What about you? Let nobody take
it for granted that he or she cannot
