me press dispatches the other day
carried story telling of the return
nome OF Samuel Gompers, president OF
the American Federation of Labor
from Europe. The dispatch said:
When Gompers set foot on Amer

IL was a sincere display of emotion.
Gompers was feeling beneath his feet
the soil of the country that gave him
asylum-the soil of a country that
gave him opportunity to rise through
his own unaided efforts from humble
cigar maker to the greatest labor
leader in the world.
Gompers is behind the Victory Lib
erty Loan. He is behind it because it
is for America. Here is what he says
of it:
Our great republic, the home of
democracy, the land of the brave and
the free, again finds it necessary to
appeal to all our people for their loyal
and patriotic support in launching and
carrying to successful conclusion the
Victory Loan Campaign.
NO one familiar with the vast I'M

pleted with triumph and victory will
question in any way the need and
necessity of the Victory Loan

of happier state of society, a guar,

HELP-WOMEN!

These are the last days of the Vic
tory Loan-the last days of the last
Liberty Loan. Yet there are some
among us who have not seen the way
of duty, whose ears have not heard
the call of America.
Herein lies a great opror tunity for
women workers in the Loan-to search
these out, to make their eyes see, and
to make their ears hear The argu-
ment of a sweet, noble woman is I'M
answerable.
Carter Glass, secretary of the treas
ury, says of woman's work in the
Loan:
Having demonstrated what they
could do in time of war, the women
of America have been quick to I'M
derstand that the cessation of hostil-
tiles did not end the obligations in
Cured in actual warfare. 1t is with
that the Government asks
every woman of the nation to become
q teacher in the Victory Liberty Loan"
