FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN.
(ChicagO POSt)


All are agreed that the next loan
must be a success, and most are
agreed that it is going to take some
work and thinking to make it sue
cess. Some Of the means to this end
now under official consideration are
early maturity, higher interest and
exemption from taxation.
But there is one consideration
which weighs more with the small
buyer than all these, and that is the
sterilization of the securities at or
near their par value. The small buy
er exchanges his savings or pledges
his wages for buds. But if a squall
should strike him he must convert
his bonds into cash. The smaller,
therefore, the hiatus between the
face and the market value Of the
bond the more attractive it is to him.
Whether this sterilization is pos
sible is another question. The short
maturity may effect it. If there Is
any promise of this, the small buyer
will come forward more readily.

WHAT THEY PUT UP.

will have to learn all over again the
task Of self-spport. Thousands will
be years in getting back to a normal

Not one Of them but put in all he
had when he went overseas. Not
one of them but took his life in his
hand when he embarked.
And not one OF you stay-at-homes
but would give everything of value
you possess on this earth for your

These boys in khaki had no such
chance.
