FIGURES SHOW WHAT
YOUR DOLLARS WILL DO
What Liberty Bond Will Buy for My
Boy "Over There"

Suppose you have a son with the
American eXpeditionary forces, and
suppose you are q steady buyer of Lib
erty Loan bonds. Did you ever ask
yourself what Your, boy gets out of
it, when you lay down a new 500 bill
and say: Il want another hundred
Collar Liberty Bond?" Here are some
facts and figures officially made up by
the war department:
Your one hundred dollar Liberty
Bond will buy your boy one outfit of
Clothing and sleeping gear, amounting
to S91.63. The change is 1887 and
that is just enough to give him his
"eats" for 1919 days.
This war is now in its fifth year
has been running on about 1,500 days.
The nineteen and a half days board
left for the boy out of your hundred
dollar Liberty Bond wouldn't amount
10 much if the fighting should go on
a few years more That $91.63 outfit
would be pretty we'll used up at the
end of a few months of campaign
ing.
Your hundred dollar war bond shows
The best possible disposition on your
part, but unless you buy more than
one, somebody else has to put up
money to keep your boys hungry stom-
ach lined with bacon and fighting
food.
That illustrates in a simple way the
urgent necessity FOR liberality in buy
ing Fourth Liberty Bonds. What
you gave the government on the
first, second and third loans has been
used up long ago. Your boy is cover
there risking his life and all that
he has every minute of the day. Sure
ly it is sup to you" to do absolutely
all you can to keep that boy fed and
clothed and cared for.
But one point was overlooked in fig
uring the proceeds Of the hundred dol
lar war bond 1t bought the boy an
outfit Of clothes and 10 days board,
but it didn't buy him gun nor
trench knife-nOt even revolver, or
a hand grenade. Worse than all that,
the hundred dollars didn't cover knife,
fork or spoon nor did it give the boy
2 pick and shovel for intrenching
when the Boche fire gets too hot.
Somebody else had to buy another
bond to supply those things and give
your boy the ammunition he needs for
offense and defense.
Look at few more figures:
When your boy goes over the top
there must be a nice barrage laid
down to protect him. Each 75-milli-
meter shell that is fired costs $13.
Each 6-inch shell costs $40. The II
inch high explosive shell loaded costs
about S27O. The 16-inch shell loaded
with INT costs about $1,000, and
the smokeless powder to fire it costs
1925 more. The gun it is fred
from sets the government back $175,-
600. That is not all the wear and
tear on big csliber guns is terrible so
that the life of the tube is very brief.
All these things point clearly to the
mistake people make when they say:
"Oh, have bought several war bonds.
I think I have done my share"
That is miles from the truth. You
have not done your share as long as
there is a dollar of your capital or in
come that you don't absolutely have to
have to keep life in your body. All
tie rest ought to be spent for Fourth
Liberty Bonds.

Confession Of Teacher of German


1 began bravely this difficult work
Of teaching German since 1914, by the
hypothesis that the best in TeutOnic
literature is revolt against this very
militarism we are now fighting, and
for a time I deluded myself with the
great good that could be accomplished
by emphasizing this in such men as
Schiller, Leasing and Goethe, as we'll
as in some Of the things from such
moderns as Wildenbruch and Theodor
Sturm. But the newspapers made cur
rent events too vital for one to spend
his hours snoring up the lettering
structure of German popularity.
Eighteenth century nobility was over
cast by twentieth century inhumanity.

10000 HOUSES RAZED

pIetely Raced.

Paris, Oct. 16-It will be from
eighteen months to two years before it
will become possible to take out any
coal from the mines in the Lens re-

the best of their ability before they
retired from the city, an inspection of
the mining properties has revealed. 1t
is estimated that it will take five years
to restore the normal production Of
the pits.
The inspection was made by the
committee on mines of the chamber
Of deputies.
Of the 10000 houses in Lens the
visitors found not one left standing,
the town having been completely
