DO NOT FORGET THIS

That so long as there was the slight
est hope Of victory the German dream
Of domination Of the world refused TO
fade.
So long as German armies could
make the least advance toward Paris
they we're driven on and lives counted
for nothing.
As long as there was anything that
could be destroyed in the invaded
districts, German armies were encour'
aged to destroy and spare nothing ol
value.
So long as Belgium and French
cities could pay, they were forced 10
10 turn over contributions 10 the Hun.
Every possible resource was exhausted
Just as long as there was a church
or a cathedral in cannon shot the
German guns slammed shelled into
them.
So long as the U.boats could keeI
the sea they continued TO torpedo
passenger vessels as quickly as the!
would a warship. Women and chlldfsI
made no difference 10 the Hun.
And as long as there was an
method Of speeding terror among thei
opponents, soldiers or innocent ciyllia
population, the German used wilhcu
compunctiop. Do you recall the I
mile gun that killed women and child

there was no more hope, when there va

Why Victory Loan Looks Smaller Now

While the total Of the Victory Loan
may look large, It does not look as
large as it did in 1917 TO a people
100, 100000 strong who have learned
to save and lend to the government
When this loan looks insignificant
and puny, even il put on top Of all the
loans which preceded it, is when it is
compared side by side with the bill
liens Germany would have demanded
Of America if the kaiser had won the
war.
This is the way to compare the two
possible endipgs Of the war. Put one
beside the other, the two chances OF
paying for the world war which the
people oI this country had before them
one year ago.
The United States has come into
victory and peace. Que Of the great
est forces it employed to win victory
was the great fund which the people
put into its hands to fight ior civilization.
But the Government has not yet
, financed the needs Of this last chapter
Of effort, Two weeks hence 1t will
ask for a loan with which TO accom-
plish this work. 1t will call 1t the
Fifth Loan Tor money to pay the ex'
penses oi peace and reconstruction
The men and women Of the country
who must furnish the funds Tor the
Fifth Loan are doubly blessed, They
have at the same time the liberty WOE
by the war and the bonds Of the Gov
eminent taken in other loans, They
know now that they can never be made
to CONT butte 10 the kaiser. And there
is 100000 Of them In all,
t What the VICTORIOUS FIFTH
; Loan proposes is that this 100000,
: 900 people shall lend the sovernmen
about $50 apiece.
D This does not seem a large amour
S from each person, It is not a lafg
), sum to lend at substantial interest o
d unequalled security, ior the final settle
z ment in the war.
Each one knows that it is Loaf
of that Il is NOT payment to the kais
J, but Loan fer Liberty,

then and it seems now that the old EN-
pire is gone, but something is holding
together the powerful and far reaching
power that Berlin created long ago.
Something is still working in every Al
lied and neutral country, working TO
weaken the victors, to improve the
German position, playing long game,
a waiting game that may reach down
through the generations.
And only little while has passed
since American doughboys were lying
in their fox holes" up around Sedan
and StenaY. It has been only few
days since we were at death grips at
the Meuse. 1t was only yesterday
that French cavalry rode into Mont
medy and Maubege behind the 8ulIen'
" Withdrawing German patrols. Ger
manism in America is by no means
dead as yet.
Germany hai no legitimate claims
upon American sympathy. We all re-
member that the Hun gave no consid-
Grafton to American protests before
we entered the war,
It was the kaiser himself who told
Ambassador Gerard that After the
war, I will stand no iOolishness from
, America"
And those who have any knowledge
of the sort Of ruler Kaiser Wilhelm
was will concede that he meant what
he said. He would have made the
eastern United States and such Other
portions as he could reach the mag
nifed picture Of what he did to Bel
GUM and northern France. Yet there
are the creatures OF his old regime
the kaiser worsbippers, and deep dowr
lovers Of Germany, right here now try
ing to whisper poison against the fItt
Loan.

SOWING DISCORD HERE.

Germany chose 10 under estimate
American power and influence before
we came in, but the German spirit
does not propose to make the same
mistake again. And because Of that,
very persistent sort OF a campaign
has been started in America since the
signing OF the armistice, 1t has two
purposes, One is 10 soften the hearts
Of Americans toward Germany by all
manner Of arguments. The other,
and more dangerous, is expected to
slow down American preparations for
alter war work, persuade Americans to
be luke warm in governmental sup
port and TO make the United States
unable 10 carry out its great part in
making peace and seeing that it is
kept.
The true German in America would
like nothing better than to see Ameri'
ca and France estranged and 10 that
end he has scattered all manner oil
tales concerning FIenchmen over
charging American soldiers, payments
for the use Of trenches, about the dirt
and disease Of French towns and liter
ally hundreds Of other stories. With
the want and squalor Of the French he
contrasts the cleanliness and the ord
er" Of the Rhine population. Any
thing 10 soften our hearts toward Ger
many and create a hatred and mis-
trust OF the French.

and plans are being made accordingly,
As soon as the new Senate commit

will be introduced into the Senate ant
referred 10 the Committee on Womsl'l

and Republican leaders will then de

By the Senate without delay. 4 Ither

old Germany would aid in causing
Americas great Fifth Loan to fail
The Hun everywhere would hail this
as the turn in the tide. Il would
mean that the American people had
virtually repudiated the war, that
they had forgotten their dead in France

surges of the Atlantic, done to death
by the U-boats.
