owing to payments on contracts which
fell due before the armistice was
signed and are Just being met, and the
expenses Of rehabilitation. which are
quite equal to those OF mobilization.
1t will therefore be necessary to
issue new government loan sometime
during the first six months OF the
coming year. and the amount OF that
loan can scarcely be less than $6,O00.-
100000. or the same as the last Lib
erty loan. The chances are that this
new loan will be offered before June !,
and It may be as early as April.

WAR COST TO
ALL BELLICERENTS
WAS IFS BILLION
Peak Of War Expenditures is
Not Yet Reached in United
States.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. TN
round numbers the war indebtedness
Of all belligerents on both sides in the
world war totals something like $175,-
Doc. 100000. according to the estimate
of the federal reserve board.
The borrowing of such an enormous
quantity Of money. the board declares,
has been accomplished by imitation"
that Is to say by a general advance
In prices.
With the resumption of peace con-
ditions that imitation will have to be
taken out OF both commodities and
wages. The defation, however. can
scarcely occur to any great extent in

In the first place the peak" Of the

now paying out about $4,000 100000 a
month and the expenditures must con-
dnue to increase probably until spring,

FARM LANDS F0R
 D0UGHbOYS WHO
 WON WORLD WAR
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR WOULD MAKE LAND AVAILABLE FOR
 RETURNING SOLDIER.
INCREASE FOOD SUPPLY
Canadians and Anxacs Are Sending Their Returned Fighting Men
 to Farms.

All of the English-speahng eoun- tries that have taken part in the war are making arrangements to send as many returning soldiers back to the land as care to go. Canada has her plans well under way as have New Zealand, Australia, and the British Isles. In this country we are just getting well started on the proposi- ton.
 By means of investigations made by the government, 1t is found that we have millions of acres of lands, idle lands, lands suitable for homestead ing, acres that ought to be adding to the worlds food supply and giving homes to a race of independent Amer ican farmers.
 The spirit of the whole nation ia backing the proposal of Secretary of the Interior Lane to open all the avail able lands of the nation, the public lands of the country to the soldier. He has recalled to congress the great part the mustered out soldiers of the Civil War played in making the great West.
 But to take this land, 15,000,000 available acres of 1t, and turn 1t over to the soldiers will require govern mental appropriation. The money will be needed to reclassify and open to entry the lands that are lying idle. It is the land of the government and can be made over to the returning sol dier on splendid terms if the country will back up the proposal. What bet ter use could be made of part of the Victory Liberty Loan than this? And to what better use could 1t be placed to work for the future of the nation?
 The money in the hands of the gov ernment will make this and other after-the-war projects of the govern ment possible These lands will give homes to thousands of soldiers home from the war.
 It is the solution of such problems as this that causes the government to need money and to set about raising 1t through the Victory Liberty Loan and War Savings and Thrift Stamps. Every dollars woth of securities bought will bring the day when before the-war conditions return, just that much closer. The notes of the Victory Liberty Loan (short term bonds) will enable the nation to express it's grati- tude to the soldiers who come back; they will fortify our national prosper ity. increase our shop and agricultural resources and at the same time they will be good business proposition to the man who buys them

WAR IS NOT YET WON
Eminent churchman Says American People Cannot Quit Now-Must
 Stay by Government.

AS in all former loans and other government calls and activities, the church of the country is rallying her new call of the Victory Liberty Loan. and she is telling her people that this is her battle for a finished peace
 Fighting, we trust. is over, but the war has not yet been won" is the challenge sent out by Rev. Dr. w. R. King, president of the St Louis Church Federation and pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Much remains to be done, both across the sea and in the home land. It takes money to demobilize an army and to make sure the victory is won in bat tie. Our sincerity in beginning this war will be shown by our spirit in the ending and in completing our vic tory. Every American should, as a matter of duty. as an expression of thankfulness, do his part toward this Victory Loan"
 Rev. Dr. David NJ. Skllling. pasto, of the Webster Groves Presbyterian Church. says he will use the force of his pulpit and church publication to win support of the loan.
 The work of destruction is over and the work of construction Is just ahead is the view of Rev. Dr. W. H. deist- welt, pastor of the Third Baptist Church. which is one of the great con gregations of the Middle West.
 Surely we cannot stop halfway In this great business" Dr. Geistweit ssays Sometimes I think the great est work is ahead of us. The least of our sacrifices Is the Victory Lib serty Loan. We simply must and will stand by the government in this new call'

 NOT LIKE A COAT.

The Liberty Loan worker who starts out upon the theory that patriotism Is like coat which can be put on and taken of at will. and that some of our people took this coat off when hostilities ceased. Is wrong. He will find the coat in the proper place and hands ready to dig into pockets for Uncle Sam. While the superior in- ducements of the Victory Liberty Loan as an investment will have a strong appeal. pride of country will put the loan over.
