Don t make the mistake of thinking

fort here at home. Faced with the in
yasion of her own territory, Germany
will fight more desperately than ever.
The strength of our military efforts
must be multiplied. The supply of
American arms and ammunition must
not be interrupted. Now is the time
for speed, speed, and the maximum of
force at the present means both victory
and the saving Of American lives
Buy bonds.
Not even statesmen of Liberty Bonds
can escape the influenza, and the house
to house canvas for the sale of the
Fourth Loan bonds which is being
made by the Woman's Committee has
been hindered in some of the wards by
the prevailing epidemic. The women

expect to finish this part Of their
work in a few days.

Keep the home wheels turning" is
the new appeal of the National Won
ans Committee in urging women to
engage in occupations heretofore held
by men. Cali occupations which do
not require great strength or long
training, can be filed by them. Eng
land has at least million women
working who never worked before.
What English women have done,
American women can do, and we in
America must remember that victory
over there means work over here.
Women buying registered bonds
should be especially careful to sign
their full name rather than give
! initials This will enable the holders
or their legal representatives to dis
pose of them when necessary with less
trouble. Bonds issued to women under
their initials or the initials of their
husbands are not readily transferable
in case of the death of the holder, and
therefore the treasury department is
insistent that the legal name be given.
