Action for Your Cash

An tho people want in this is action for their money. They know Americans at the front will de- liver the goods and they want to and do back them up to the utmost in home contributions. They are -ong over the top this Liberty loan for two req sous-t is the right thing to do and it is necessary to do it to win the war.
 The information bureau of the United States shipping board has brought ship building facts and figures up to September 1 and has published them for the information of the people, and they make mighty interesting reading. They show among other things that the United States is now the foremost ship producing nation in the world. They show that thc ships produced in August in this country alone srpass by 630 deadweight tons the total deadweight tonnage sunk by the U-boat murderers in that month
 These arc two things to cheer about. They show that the United states has gotten into its swing in shp-b building. There is another thing clearly shown m the report however, which points out again the true significance of what the warfare if fare it may justly be called, has cost the world.
 On June 30. 1914 just before the world war start cd the worlds tonnage in deadweght tons 73,- ssa3eS The net deficit in deadweght tons due to ihe war is now or was on September l. 1S,Os2,Oss tons round figures the net loss to the world in shipping to say nothing of German ships safely in German harbors and likewise other ships of the Gen. tral powers was one fourth Is it then any wonder that shipping is taxed to the utmost to keep pace with world at war which is still short quarter of its normal shipping and knows how many tons of shipping of the enemy lying idle?
 That is why bottoms cannot be spared for any but ihe absolutely necessary work of winning the That is why Java sugar is scarce and why we must cheerfuly do without the few things asked Co save SO that the war may rushed to successful conclusion
 The report shows that the United States took the lead in ship building last June and has held it ever since by rapidly growing margins. In August the pro- auction of ships in this country S13,3so dead weight tons In the United Kingdom in the same month the dcadweght tonnage produced was 1s7,Ol9. For SO much of 1918 passed before September he United States produced ls26.o52 dcadweight tons while Great Britain produced 154e16l tons in the same period IL is some accomplishment to pass the sreatest ship-buding nation of the world
