port these men back to the United
States at the rate of 100000 a month.

are all returned. Our army, there
fore, must be maintained, victualed
and clothed for many months after

having SUPPORTED the Liberty lean
with a patriotism that future hist.
torians will love to extol, will have
an opportunity to show the same
patriotism in financing the Just and
conclusive victorious peace when
ever is comes
Not for a moment, however. is the
treasury acting on any assumption
that peace is to come soon. Until
peace is actually assured the attitude
or the treasury and the attitude of
the whole United States government
is Tor the most vigorous prosecution
or the war, and the motto of force
against Germany without stint or
limit will be acted up to until peace
is an absolute accomplished fact.
One more Liberty loan, AS least. is
certain. The fourth loan was popu-
larly called the Fighting Loan" the
next loan may be fighting loan, too,
or 1t may be a peace loan. Whatever
the conditions, the loan must be pre-
pared for its success rendered GER

prepare to support it.

of the band is twenty eight. Some of
it's members have been drafted. while
others cannot always leave their bust
