prevent any feature of representative
American life being neglected or dis
honored.
The previous loans unfortunately.

humanity of the enemy. This loan
appeals to your human sympathies and
affections-the work of peace.
The hearts of the American people
are attuned to the needs of construc-
tive work-Ideal America with its un-
selfish purpose to entering the war.

itarism is no more-it will continue to
realize the positive side of its pur-
pose-the establishment of peace

Peace has its victories no less re-
nowned than war. The victories of
war have been won. Subscribe to our
