To the selfish, to the man or wo-
man who wants to make two dollars
for every one invested, the War Saw
ings Stamp should appeal because
with the Stamp the American army
expects to stamp the militarism of the
German people until it will never
raise its hydre-hcad again, and in this
act the dimes. the dollars, the homes,
the life and the liberty of American
people are made secure and we are

civilization going to do to meet this
barbaric onslaught? The Govern
ment War debt today is over 100000
for every inhabitant while that of the
United States is less than $4,000 a
