That no one can have a valid excuse for failure to buy Liberty Bonds is the strongly presented contention of See rttary of the Treasury McAdoo, who says:
 "Who should buy Liberty Bonds? Everybody. The laborins men and women. the salalicd men and women of the country and the people of mod crate means and of large means par ticularly should buy Liberty Bonds. They should save money and put it away now where neither moth nor Inst can corrupt, nor thieves break through and steal X Liberty Bond complies with these conditions. espe- caly if it is registered with the Unit ed States Treasury, because, if reg ytered, the Treasury will replace il if the owner should lose it or if thief should steal it,
 Wages and salaries are higher in America today than ever before in its History Those who spend everything they earn are rot only living in d fools paradise. but they are doing a frieyous injury to theil country. They are living in fools paradise because Inc same degree of sperity cannot oe expected to continue upon the re- turn Of peace. when the inevitable re- adjustments Of all industries must iake place, and they are doing their country grieyOus injury because it is cEly by saving that We can provide 0ar government with the money which iJ mus, have 10 buy the essen 1ial supplies for our military forces.

 The highest duty of every man and woman in the land. therefore, is to save to protect themselves and their children against the possibilities of he future, to say nothing of The fact that by such saving they are bringing peace that much nearer and are mal- ig that much more certain the sav- ing oi thousands of Ameriacn lives which otherwise will have 10 be de eiToyed a. the price of victory.
 The same obligation to save money and lend ii to the government rests upon the men of larger means-th, men Of comfortable incomes and d.. men of large incomes. The laborne men and the salarIed men and women have been appealed to and have re- eponded nobly To the call to buy Lib cTty Bonds on the instalment plan.

 "The business men and the men of comfortable means and incomes who fail 10 buy to the limit of their ability even though ii involves the payment Tor their Liberty Bonds on the install ment plan, are not only failing to dc their full duty, but they are negligent ot their own and their country's inter est Their business and welfare de. pend upon the success of America $ army, and they mus, omit no duty to support that army
