seem. temporarily. 10 have lost their en-

however. taken up the fight, and repre-
sen,atives OF various county. city and

also 70 the front. and we can expect
soon. another bombardmrnt Of the high
price trenches. While all OF this effort

the high cost OF living will be rcmedi"d

not much mystery about the phcnomen-

the production OF goods: to destroy
much valuable property on tho one
hand. and to increase the supply or

THE PEOPLE WILL PAY

Regardless OF what our feelings may
be as to the management of the war,
our honor as a nation is pledged to
the payment of the bills for the war.
No man who holds his own reputation
for business integrity above reproach
doubts that. He would scrupulously
pay his own debts and the debts Of
his country are very definite part
OF his own obligations
The government has contracted GER
tain debts. 1t has come to the people
for the money with which to satisfy
these obligations. Through statements
of its highest officials it has repeat
eddy made clear to all that it expects
to secure this money not from the
banks or the great financial institu-
lions, but through the whole hearted
support OF the great majority of its
citizens
It will be higher type of patriot
ism that will be called to the test
during the coming days than respond
ed to the former appeals of the gov
eminent. Aside from few technical
tiles the war is over. The fifth loan
will be raised without the spur of hos
tilities because the American people
are capable of reaching greater
heights of patriotism than they have
yet climbed.
