LOUISVILLE, April o2-Scores of

an address tell why tho American peo-
pie should oversubscribe the Victory
Liberty loan as they have the previous
four issues.
The way for Victory loan workers
TO meet those who charge cxtrava-

ask them whether it were better TO
spend millions OF dollars or millions
OF lives" declared Mr.. Glass.
He then proceeded TO pay tribute 10

American Soldier. In Brittany,

billeted among the Inhabitants. and I
know that in their honor, municipali-
ties have ordered the vast heaps Of
manure that In most Brittany villages
line one side Of the road removed to
the fields-no small task. when 1t Is
remembered that only women, chill
dren md old men are left to take care
of the farm.
Plans are being developed to Improve
these farm houses, many of which
were built 200 or 800 years ago. The
influx Of Americans will thus serve to
ameliorate the sanitary conditions in
these districts. the people of which
