But when the subject of these medals
came up-a subject Enthusiastically within
the commissions province--the fine arts
body at Washington was simply ignored
altogether, while the War Department
rushed ahead on its own atrocfrfes.
Mint OfnciaI Explains
Mr. Morgan said: THE crosses de-
serve criticism. They were not pre-
pared as wanted them done. but had
nothing to do but carry out orders.
Captain Embrie made four sketches
In great hurry because he had
to get away. We had to design the
first crosses from those sketches. II
is not easy to do that from rough and
rather vague sketch. We made hun
dred and sent them to France and En-
brie rejected them He said they we're
too ornate and bore the words 'E Puri-
bus Unum, whereas they should have
borne the words For Valor'
''He sent back another sketch, nearer
r to hts idea, and we made a design as
near to that as we could. A hundred
from II were sent over and were ap-
proved by Embrie.
II suggested in the first place that
the leading sculptors be asked to de-
sign crosses, or. at least, consulted.
so far as the criticism of meaning
lessness and lack of symbolism is con-
cerned, there is nothing to that They
are as symbolical as any other nations
war crosses. and have as much mean
ing, though I'll adm that isn't lot.
The medals were also designed by
Captain kmbrie and he accepted them.
They are better than the crosses, being
much like the seal of the United States.
They also were criticized by the sculp-
tors. but so far as l know they will not
be changed"

Three Million Buttons
Bought for Fourth Loan

Buying three million buttons is just
one of the minor tasks which had to
be taken care of before the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign by Ralph
Waldo Emerson of the War Loan Or
ganization at Washington.
But on these trifles Emerson was
able to save the government sixty-five
thousand dollars in real money; a vast
amount of celluloid, which contains
guncotton; an enormous quantity of
white paper; hundreds of gallons of
wood alcohol. and hundreds of hours
of labor.
The saving was brought about by
the employment of steel engraving
process. The old buttons have always
been made with celluloid and paper. :.
The factories which are turning out
the buttons for the Fourth Loan are
distributed about the country so that
shipping to the various federal reserve
districts can be simplified and there
will be no chance of any district being
left at the last minute without it's sup
ply of little bond buyers insignia.

boots, of course, so Charlie and

of the motion picture industry
who have donated their services
for the making of series of mo-
tion picture films which will be
used throughout the Fourth Lib
erty Loan drive in every theater
in the United States.
No star in the country who has
ever been topliner will be left
out. All have expressed willing
ness to play a part in the game of
helping sell bonds. Scenarios for
the Liberty Loan pictures were
written by the best known editors
of the country and by the best
talent in the motion picture stu
dios. Every picture will not only
contain the plea for purchase of
Liberty Bonds but will be an in
teresting story in itself.

WEALTH PUT IN BONDS
HASN'T BEEN MISSED
America Has Not Begun Yet
to Really Sacrifice to
Lend to Boys.
BY DELLA THOMPSON LUTES
Author of my Boy in Khaki" and Edi-
tor of American Motherhood.

tor of American Motherhood.
There is more than one way to
fight. There are sea, land, air battles.
There are also battles in the pantry,
at the kitchen stove, and on the front
piazza. Yes, there are even battles
in the pocket book.
Unless every person left in America
gets into the fight somewhere along
the line, the soldiers at the front will
have to fight just so much harder, just
so much longer, lose SO much more
blood-give up so many more lives.
OF course the war might be won if
you-just you did nothing to help.
But when you read these words, a
good many thousand others are read
ing them. So, if you laid down on
the job to let the boys fight for you,
and every other you of thousands did
the same thing, who would feed the
boys who are fighting? Who would
clothe them, nurse them, entertain
them, munition them?
In America there is plenty of money
yet, even though billions of dollars
have been raised since we entered the
war. The money already raised could
be spared as well as not. We have
not yet learned to go without in order
that we may loan our money to the
boys. Uncle Sam handles it, but it
goes to the boys. Into the equipment
for them, clothes and blankets to
make them comfortble, and guns and
ammunition to save their lives-and
ours.
1t is not our fault that there is war.
We went in because decent man can
not stand by and see bully beat a
weaker creature to death, violating
every rule of the game.
And now that we are in it we must
fight to the last ditch to rid the world
of the horrid monster which brought
this cataclysm of blood and death
upon us. We must fight to the last
ditch, and to the last man-and
woman.
The men who plow and SOW and
raise more produce are fighting.
The men who work in factories and
shops and ship yards are fighting.
The men and women who work In
government offices are fighting.
The women who stay at home are
fighting-if they play a square game.
Every person who buys Liberty
Bond is fighting. Some are fighting
harder than Others because some sac.
rifice more than others in order to buy
their bonds, but all are fighting.
| The boys are giving up-everything
They need our help They will fail II
we fail them.
