raVN opens the Victory Liberty
Loan tomorrow. determined to ovet
come all ohataecz and not only
make great subscription itself, hut
also to lead the entire country over

The match the navy idea. which
stirred civilians during the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign, again will
be used to induce the country to
emulate the navy's performance
Rear Admiral 7. j. Cowie, who again
is in charge of the navy's cam
raign for the loan, has devised the
strategy for an extensive campaign
within the navy and for navy
''stunts" which will boom the loan
throughout the country.
Chief among these is the voyage
of the Victory ship, which will
travel from San Francisco to New
! ork via the Panama Canal This
ship will travel each day distance
IN proportion to the country's sub
scription to the Victory Liberty
Loan, and in that way the nation
will be able TO tell every day how
the campaign is progressing by the
location of the ship. New York viii

and the country will be called upon
to bring the Victory ship safely into
harbor by the last day of the cam
raign. That can be done only By
subscribing to the loan, and the
faster the country subscribes the
sooner Will the ship reach the "Har-
Dor of Victory
The progress of the ship viii be
featured in Victory Loan cam
raigns in all parts of the United

Victory Notes
As Stimulus to
Reconstruction

w THEN General Gordon was in
w the midst Of his Egyption
campaign he asked England
for consignment of locomotives and
cars to be delivered within a few
weeks. He was told that the thing
could not be done; the time was too
short. Then the order was offered
to the United States and was ac-
cepted. The locomotives and rolling
stock were shipped within thirty
days. This was then regarded as
great achievement.
The engines and cars were con-
tnued in use after General Gordon
had finished with them. Having
been hastily built for an emergency,
they did not present the good ap-
pearance nor give the good service
of the regular English equipment on
the Egyptian railroads. The cir
cumstances of their manufacture for
an emergency were ultimately for
gotten and they were referred to as
an example Of American methods
and quality. The result was that
American rolling stock and locomo
tives got black eye, and orders for
Europe's equipment went principally
to England and Germany.
Not long ago, during the great
war, an American train, running
over the French railroads, with an
American crew, approached French
railroad station. There was a train
lying motionless at the station. AS
the French freight trains are not
equipped with airbrakes, French
train in the same position as the
American train would have stopped
long way from the station and
then crawled to a position in the
rear of the French train.

NNE of the chief reesona why

only among the business men hut
among the workers Of the country,
is that the act which authorizes
their issuance also permits the War
Finance Corporation to aid Amer
ican exporters. American industry
is to be helped through the opera
ton Of the War Finance Corpora
ton under the same authority which
authorizes the Victory Loan, al
though the proceeds of the Victory
Loan will not be used to make loans
10 export trade, to any great ex-.
tent, if at ALL 1t is all part of the
same general policy to sustain
American labor and stimulate Amer
ican industry. There has been
more or less misconception of the
purpose, operation and scope Of
that provision, but, in brief, what
it means is that the government is
willing to help American manufac-
turers during this transition period
SO that they may carry on the for
eign trade SO necessary for our ma
tlonal welfare, so that American
labor may not be subjected to a
prolonged period of unemployment,
falling wages and unsettled condi-
tons.
Now, with the cessation Of ex-

Proceeds Needed
TO Paw Debts

The proceeds Of the Victory Lib
erty Loan will be used to liuuidate
part of the country's debt to war
concerns, pay the transportation
home of the troops, defray the cost
Of rehabilitation, care for the
wounded, provide vocational educa-
ton for the manned, pay the war
insurance claims of the soldiers and
sailors killed or injured in the fight
ing, provide funds for the navy and

Army transportation experts es-
innate the cost of transporting the
American EXpeditionary Force from
the fighting line in France to their
t@,
at S400, 100000. Two million men
were overseas at the time the ar
mistice was signed, making the cost
a man, including baggage and
equipment, 5000.
The transportation cost is divided
as follows:
Fare from the fighting
line to French sea
ports .......... SIPS, 900, 900

Army officials estimate that it
will take ten months to demobiize
the troops from overseas. Their
food bill in that time will amount to
279,42S,130, it is figured, The
total cost Of their maintenance in
that period, including housing

LET UNCLE SAM
Be YOUR BANKER
Offers Far Better Opportuni-
ties Than Those Enjoyed by
Thrifty People in France
Who Claim Leadership.

France has been called the thriftiest
nation in the world.It claims to be. II
we do not watch out she will prove
it conclusively. America is the rich
est country on earth. Our per capita
savings increased approximately 46
per cent in the last four years-the
period Of the war. Last year, for in
stance, the per capita savings in the
South alone was s26.73. That sounds
like we have the money, and we GER
tainly have the will to make more.
Uncle Sam is out to show you how.
He wants to be your savings banker.
He offers you not only per cent. in
terest, compounded quarterly, but the
government as security. There couid
not be a better incentive for thrift
than that. The French people have
far less. yet they save more. They
have no way to put their savings into
small government securities, the popu-
lar denomination being that OF five
hundred francs, or s100.
It would not be very convenient to
save if we had to put our pennies into
an Old stocking until we had accumu-
lated $100 as the French do would it?
And the stocking doesn't pay any in
terest So let Uncle Sam take care
Of your pennies-twenty-five of them
buy a Thrift Stamp and sixteen Thrift
Stamps converted into War Savings
Stamp begin earning compound inter
est for you Immediately. Are we going
to let the French beat us in thrift?

DARED GERMANS
TO SHOW HEADS
Sergeant of Marines Hurled
Pointed Query at Boches
When Fire Was Most Ter
rife in Belleau Wood.

10 isn't nice to swear in type Meth
er is war nice. This is a war story.
1t was told by Brigadier General Cat
lin in his book, with the Help Of
God and a Few Marines" Belleau
Wood is the setting.
The General had given his troops
the order to advance. His last words
were, as they started across the wheat
fields under withering fire, "Giye 'em
hell, boys"
Some one has reported" the Cen
eral continues, "that they advanced
on those woods crying, Remember
the Lusitania' If they did failed to
hear it.
Somehow that doesn't sound like
the sort of things the Marines say
under the conditions"
Then General Catlin tells what they
did say When the lines were waver-
ing under the terrific German fire, a
sergeant cried out:
Come on you - -, do
you want to live forever"
Tell the marines that you are not
going to take your share OF the COM
ing Victory Liberty Loan.

ond
Tick-tock-
S555.
Sixty seconds make a minute-si1ty
minutes make an hour-s50.000,0 900 a
day.
That's what the war was costing
America when the Armistice was
signed.
Quick! Some one! Stop the clock!
Well, some one did.
That day of our first Peace Cele-
bration when we all went crazy and
tore loose, some wag in the bank did
stop the clock. Took out the pendu-
lum and tied big piece of black
crepe on the clock itself And every
body laughed and yelled their heads
off-because the war was over.
That was the end Of it. The war
was over-the clock was stopped and
everything.
Well-almost everything.
Other clocks still went on ticking
at s555 second!- They're still tick
ing. Not at s555, to be sure-but it
will run far into millions before next
June.
We still have job tc finish. We
still have war-bills to pay. And Amer
leans always pay their bills
We still have an army at tie bridge
heads of the Rhine, and we've got to
keep it there for while-if we're go
ing to get a real peace in place OF an
armistice.
And then there are the soldiers to
bring back and the wounded to care
for and the crippled to make over and
jobs to ind-before our job is finish
ed-before we can turn all our ener-
gies to making plows and automobiles
again.
It's going to take money. And
we've got to raise it. That's part OF
our job-yours and mine and the peo-
pies next door.
The bank with the clock can't do it
all the banks in the country can't do
tiff we are going to so ahead after
ward making plows and automobiles
and opening up new mines and plant
ing more wheat fields.
We've got 10 have credit. il We are
going to get back on a prosperous
business basis And We can't nave
credit, if the banks have all their
money tied UP in Liberty Loans.

perity and happiness we can have in
this country. if we make good use of
the opportunities that lie just ahead,
he should think Of that clock in the
bank with its streamer OF crepe and
its little red sign:
And of the millions of other clocks
that were ticking off the minutes dur
ing the war just as that clock in the
bank did and-well-
Tick-tock-
Those clocks are still ticking.
There's another liberty loan coming.
Tick-tock-
What time will it be by your CLOCK
next month when the Victory Liberty
Bonds are offered?
