 Lump Sum Payments.
 The semi-monthly payments pro vided for may be converted in whole, or in part, into lump-sum payment, not exceeding the estimated value of the present worth of the deferred pay ment capitalized at the rate of five per centum per annum.

Torn by sharpnel and bullets cov. I cred with wounds and a victim of gassing, Sergeant James Stanley of the famous Princess Pats'' regiment Of Canada, has just returned to Amer. ica after four years and two days of participation in everything the dead ly fight against the Huns has to offer. Discharged because of his disabilities. Sergeant Stanley intends to devote the remainder of the war to awaken. ing the country and Canada to the tremendous work being done by the salvation Army, and the other big war work organizations on the battle heids. He comes to America in the interest of the United War Work Campaign for $170,5OO,000.
 Sergeant Stanley fairly brims over when he talks of the great work of thA Salvationists, Y. M. c. A., Knights of Columbus and others are doing on the battle front. He says. q can't make speech, but I can tell a story. ana that is what I am going to do."
 And here is part of his story.
 when l went to France. in Aue. ust, 1914. with the Princess Pats. I Iound the British Salvationists work. CTS right up in the front lines with rifles in their hands.
 Christmas eve of 1914 I will never forget, for up into the firing line to us they came with boxes of things to eat ana little presents to cheer us. But It was that way everywhere. You couldn't turn around but that one was waiting to serve you, serve in a quiet unobtrusive way, always seeking to help.
 Only the men workers came up in- to the firing lines on the British front. but they were right in the front line trenches. Back a little ways were the lassies. who met the men going up and the tired and sick and wounded. some coming back, and served hot coffee and food and passed cheering word. But it is different now. for the American lassies and other vel rare workers are right up in the first line trenches with the men. The Salvationists take pay for food and drink when the boys have it, but when boy doesn't have enough money he gets just as much as the boy who has. He can pay back when he gets his pay, if he is inclined. but he never wants.
 Danger means nothing to the work CTS with the boys. They have been killed. and wounded, shot rat and gassed. They are prepared to meet death and the savage Hun has no ter. TOTS for them. They work like train- ed soldiers. cool and collected at all times, and they have saved hun. dreds of boys lives. They have huts and ambulances. They constantly are studying the situation to see how they can improve their labors and they do it without fanfare. They have cer. tainly won the hearts of every soldier in France. I have never heard them criticised and it means the hospital" for anyone here to say anything dero- gatory to a returned soldier about them. If America only knew the real story of what these ,self-sacrificing people do lover there" their forces fin France would be four-fold what they are now through the demand from the loyal United States.''

SECY. MCADOO'S 'AD' FOR 4TH LIBERTY
 LOAN
TEXT OF APPEAL CALLING ON EVERY TRUE AMERICAN TO DO HIS FULL DUTY.

The following is the text of the ad- vertisement written by Secretary Me Adoo for the Fourth Liberty loan cam paign:
 America does not intend to become spoil for the German Kaiser!
 The dream of the Kaiser and his gang of military despots is to master the world.
 That dream was on the point of realization when Americas challenge thrilled the world and America's he roes on the battle fields of France began to obscure it with their blood and valor.
 Already the crack legions of the Kaiser have been beaten by the brief-trained freemen of the worlds mightiest democracy.
 The Stars and Stripes are on their way to Berlin. Nothing can stop our progress but our failure to do our part at home as well as our heroes are doing their part in Europe.
 No one thing will win this war. Neither food nor fuel, nor ships, nor afrplanes, nor transportation, nor ammunition, nor arms, nor money, nor men alone-but all in full measure, supplied all the time and on time, are necessary to victory.
 Every pound of food and fuel bought, every ship and airplane built, every ton of ammunition furnished, every shot fired, every shred of cloth ing made. every dollar paid to our soldiers and sailors and their depend ent families, and every other demand upon the government to carry on the war comes back to and must be paid by the United States Treasury.
 Suppose the Treasury should fail to meet these demands, what would happen, Failure and disaster on the battle field and ruin at home. Not alone our Army, our Navy, and all war operations, but business prosper ity and financial security at home de- pend on the ability of the United States Treasury to meet every de- mand on time at 100 cents on the dol lar.
 That is why the Treasury is abso- lutely fundamental to the war-that is why the Treasury stands under and supports every department and agency of the Government-that is why the Treasury is carrying the most colossal burden in the worlds history.
 Money must, therefore, be provid- ed in sufficient amountsby the people all the l.eople---if the war is to be won
 There are two ways to get it-by taxation and by Liberty Bonds.
 Three l. berty Loans have been oyer subscribed by An;erlca's patriots to protect AIaerica's he.f.ea.
 The Fourth Liberty Loan is now offered. It must be subscribed-it must not fail. Every patriot must buy Liberty Bonds with every dollar he can raise and save. Then he must keep them.
 A glorious victory will be won if the Treasury is kept strong.
 The Fourth Liberty Loah is the barrage that will precede the victor ious thrust of our Army.
 Keep the Stars and Stripes march ing with our heroes to Berlin.
 Prevent the Kaiser from making spoil of America my making America spoil the Kaiser.
 Buy Liberty Bonds and help make Liberty supreme throughout the world"
