VICTORY LOAN AN APPEAL
TO our BUSINESS SENSE
A q Business Proposition No Man
Can Afford Not to Subscribe to
Full Limit Of His Ability.
By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS.
Author Of "Tarxan Of tina Apes"

nY EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS,
Author Of "Tazsn Of thu Apes"
There are an innnits number OF eI-
eelient reasons why we should sup
port the Victory Liberty Loan.
The finest sentiments We possess
must prompt US TO subscribe to this
loan even more freely than We did to
the ethers The government must get
money or II would not ask us for It.
The man who was prompted 10 lend In
the past through fear that II he did
not the Germans might get over here
and make It unpleasant for him Is
mighty yellow" IL he will not sub
scribe, now that the danger IS past
Our response TO previous loans indi-
Gated that we were thoroughly IN nc
cord with the principles for which We
were fighting. and by our response we
authorized the expenditure OF the
sums necessary properly to prosecute
thu war. These enormous expenses
must continue for some time. The OBJ
legations involved must not be repu-
dated They are our obligations as
Individuals and we must look upon
them as such. II Is not only a matter
OF necessity: It is a matter Of per
sonal honor for us to meet these OBJ
legations promptly and gladly.
On the other hand. thsre is IN the
Victory loan an appeal 10 our business
sense 90 well as to our patriotism.
There IL the appeal to self-intereSt, for
the loan Is not 70 be without profit 10
us. Va are given an opportunity to
invest in an absolutely safe security
and we will receive good rate Of In
tsrest. As q business proposition no
man can afford not to subscribe TO the
fall limit Of his ability.
And there Is another reason why we
should subscribe every cent that we
can rake and xcrape together. II is
this: If the government cannot raise
the necessary funds by the sale of
Liberty bonds, It must do II by direct
taxation The government has the
power TO tax us to meet there obliga-
tons, and IL We are taxed we not only
will get no interest but we will never
get the principal back again.
II seems 10 me that both the wisdom
end necessity for fully and inmede-
ately subscribing this Fifth Liberty
Loan must be obvious to anyone whose
mentality Is greater than that Of g
child of ten. We are supposed TO be
an intelligent people, capable of gov
erning ourselves and others. We pride
ourselves upon our business seunen.
upon our energy and upon our patri-
otisn. In the Victory Liberty Loan
we shan have an opportunity re prove
70 the world that IRE are better than
vain boosters, and that we are fully
deserving of the estimate which we
have placed upon ourselves as people.
The time is here. The opportunity
is here. The eyes OF the world are
upon us-upon you. What the world
shall think Of us depends not upon the
action OF others but upon what you
do-YOU

ALBUQUERQUE IS
BUILDING MANY
BEAUTIFUL HOMES

In the report of City Building In
speCtor Earl BOwdich, il was shown
that Albuquerque was fast becoming
city of homes According to the
report over 100000 has been spen,
in building Improvements in the last
three months. Thirty-One residences
and twelve business buildings are now
under construction or hays recently
been completed. Building operations
are under way in every part of the
city and yet there are scores OF peO-
pie in the city today who cannot Sc
cure houses. Local hotels here have
never before had such a volume Of
business.
Albuquerque with its large whole,
sale houses, stands out today as
great distributing center. Two big
wholesale distributing houses have
been built during the past four
months, and plans for others have
been drawn, to be constructed in the
spring. Nearly all of the federal Of
fices for the districts of New Mexico
and Arizona are located in Albuquer-
que besides departments coming under
state supervision.
AS the oil industry develops Albu-
querque becomes the mecca for the
financiers and operators.
On account of the range conditions
in the state, stock and sheepmen will
next year realize the greatest year Of
prosperity that has ever been known
in the history Of these industries,
which will bring hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars into Albuquerque,
This money, together with that which
will come in from other resources,
should and with the proper direction
will, be kept here to meet the growing
needs of the city.

boundaries of the proposed elk refuge
in the Sitgraves forest. 1t is esti-
mated that the herd contains $50
head.

Germany's Whipping Boys
1t Was Sad Looking Huns Who Signed the
Peace Treaty
ny JOHN STEELE

Versailles. June 2S.-I have just seen
the treaty signed in the famous hall
of Mirrors where in 1870 the grand
father of the ex-Kaissr surrounded by
his subordinate kings and princes pro-
claimed the German Empire Instead
of kings and princes Germany this time
was represented by two very sad and
sacred looking Germans of the working
class, who were obviously over-awed
by the grandeur of the surroundings
and the solemnity of the occasion.
In the old days before the world was
made safe for democracy kings and
princes kept their whipping boys.
Mark Twain in one of his most delight
full stories makes the whipping boy eX-
plain that he was honored by being Sc
lected to take the whackings which
the little prince had earned. Muller
and Bell, the two German delegates who
came to Versailles to sign the treaty,
didn't look exactly pleased, but they
displayed a pathetic willingness to car
ry out the job which the smooth Brock
dorff Rantzau, who negotiated the
treaty, refused to complete.
The reader who has ever attended
meeting of a Socialist Leidertafel in
New York or Chicago or Milwaukee
will know at once the type of men
whom the once proud German Empire
sent to register it's humiliation. They
were both young and earnest looking.
They wore Sunday Prince Alberts, i'll

ended Muller and Bell again had to be
prompted to get on their feet. They
were led out and got away by a back
door before the other delegates left the
hall This was to avoid any unpleasant
demonstration by the immense French
crowd which waited in the gardens and
on the Versailles side of the chateau.
have never seen such enthusiasm
as that with which the French greet
ed Clemenceau. Lloyd George and Will
son who drove off first were warmly
cheered. but when the Tigers automo-
bile tried to make it's way through the
crowd it simply couldn't. The French
crowd. and remember that it was not
a working class town crowd but was
composed of privileged persons who had
received special tickets of admission to
the palace grounds, simply swept the
military lines away. Men and fash
ionably dressed women clamored on the
running boards of the car and even
climbed on the roof to get a glimpse
of the French Premier and for nearly
ten minutes the car was motionless
simply because it could not move.
Poilus tried in vain to reach it to
clear a way for it. -Gardes Republi-
