One Hundred Millions to prevent famine and stfde pest-

verminous plaques feed and breed and threaten all the uni

One Hundred Millions to found hospitals and build rest
stations, to send nurses to the Front and refugees back, to
forward surgical units and furnish artificial limbs, to buy
medicines and operating instruments, to reeducate the mutt

One Hundred Millions to maintain communication with
detention camps, to provide war prisoners with food and
decencies, to take messages out and bring letters in, to
negotiate comforts and privileges for the captured, to buy
blankets for them and clothes and books and tobacco.
One Hundred Millions for No Mans Land-for stretchers
and ambulances, for anesthesia and bandages and anti

skilled specialists, to make sure that a dear one shall have q

One Hundred Millions to keep the world sound and

Wrong Glasses for His Vision

A touching story is told by F.
P. Clayton of the Federal Re-
serve bank of Dallas, Texas, to
illustrate the different attitudes
toward war sacrifices that are
are held by various citizens. Mr..
Clayton says:
"A few days ago l saw a SOL
der taking leave of his mother
at the railroan station. The two
drew away from the crowd. The
woman threw her arms around
the boys neck and looked up at
him as she sobbed words which
will remain forever sacred to the
occasion. For a moment | could
not see very clearly and as a con-
sequence l bumped into a friend
of mine. A man, by the way,
who has made more money this
year than ever before in his life,
After a friendly greeting, he
said, say, you fellows are hit
ting us up pretty hard on this
Liberty Loan business. Do you
realize that we are having to
make some terrible sacrifices to
meet our quota?'
my friend has business, owns
farm land and has a substantial
bank balance. He has no boy in
the army and has subscribed
$40, 900 to the Liberty Loan. His
sacrifice consists of the loss of
about l 3-4 per cent on $40, 900,
for probably he would have Sc
cured 6 per cent instead of A Ia
per cent had he invested his
money in some other way than
the purchase of Liberty Bonds.
What is the matter with my
friend? Is he pro- German, or
traitor, or even a poor American?
Not a bit of it. He just has not
the right glasses for his mental
vision. He doesn't see things
quite right-that's all. He will
