During the past week the District
of Columbia has shared in the ma
tion-wide movement to waken the
people of the country to the esthetic
and practical value of music. and
song week" has been celebrated
both publicly and privately through
out the city.
In the two years of the war the
United States has found that music
was the best means of arousing peo-
pie to the nations call and bring
ing them together. Community
singing has grown to a surprising
extent and 1t is the purpose of
music lovers throughout the nation
that the end of the war shall not
see the death of this newly acquired
spirit.
The public schools celebrated the
''musicfest" with special programs

cises to be held in both graded and

THE new LOAN
FOR LIBERTY WON
The Victorious Fifth Will Find
Enormous Tasks That Call
for Its Dollars.

The Fifth Liberty Loan, which the
people of the country will be asked
in April to make to the Government,
will be a loan Of the future.
Four great loans have fought for
Liberty. This will meet the needs Of
Liberty won.
The free peoples Of the world have
given to millions of their brothers and
sisters the right of determining theiI
own destinies,
But for all OF them remains still the
great work of reconstruction, read
justment, completion, for the estab
lished peace.
The responsibilities Of this new pc
Rod are no less great than those which
arose in the crisis Of the war itself.
1t is for us of the United States
to do our part as nation as fully now
as we did when we struck our blow
towards saving civilization.
II still remains to see that all which
was won on the battlefield is saved
for liberty; that the stricken peoples
do not starve and that there is prompt
and useful rebuilding and restoration
in ravaged Europe.
We must bring back to their own
land and to their own homes, the mil
lions of our men who have helped win
the great victory They must once
more be fitted with thought and care
into our national life.
Great projects which were begun in
time of war must be finished or re
directed.
All of these tests are part of the
great enterprise of peace and recon
struction All of them must be fl
nanced in the next few months before
US. To carry them out is absolutely
necessary if we are to complete oul
share of the work which has been car
ried so far forward.
Every man and every woman in the
nation, who has shared in the blessings
Of peace won by the war, should pre-
pare now to share in peace loan-the
VICTORIOUS FIFTH.
