 DROVE THE HUN
Director Franklin Tells How American Munitions on the Way Brought War to End.

The war supplies that have been de- livered and must be paid for but never used were what actually brought the war to the sudden end so much ear Her than had been expected, accord ing to Lewis B. Franklin, director of the war loan organization for the United States.
 Those are the things for which we are going to pay with the Fifth and last-Liberty Loan," MT. Frank lin explained at meetif fg of Liberty Loan chairmen.
 "That is what I mean when I say that this money you are going to raise through the things already bought with the credit of it-is paying for the saving of a half a million American lives.
 'The speed and bravery of the American 'dough-boy' affected the German on the front line more than 1t did the men at German general head quarters; but the fact that America had ten tons of mustard gas ready for shipment in 1919, to every ton that I0Tmduy ndu, tue IdCL L0dC We W0T6 going to have tank on the front line for every 75 fee of the line in 1919; the fact that we would have thou sands of batteries of guns where we did not have a single one in 1918- those facts had an influence on the German General Staff.
 And, far from that money, those millions and billions of dollars wasted in an unnecessary preparation, feel that the fact that the money was spent and that that enormous output of munitions was ready, was the con trolling factor in the weakening of the German General Staff, and that it caused their message to the Kaiser that they were beaten, and that he must sue for peace. And the way see it is that this money, instead of being wasted, can be written down as hav- ing saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of American men who would have been sacrificed had the war continued another year.
 'I do not believe that we are going to be troubled with this loan. I look for at least 2O,OOo,OOO subscribers to the next loan"

"VICTORY LOAN IS TRULY A THANKSGIVING L0AK'
 (By Carter Glass, Secretary of the Treasury

With our man-power practically in tact, with our towns and factories and farms undamaged, should we be cowed by a monetary obligation lighter far than the one France faces unafraid?
 It is incomprehensible to me that any of the men who gave their sons so gladly and so proudly to their country in it's hour of peril should turn so quickly to cold and calculating con temptation of the dollar.
 do not believe that the plain people of America either are fearful of the future or distrustful of their govern ment. When the next loan is offered have every confidence they will un- derstand it's necessity and will gladly meet it's requirements.
 Plain fathers and mothers through out the land have not so soon ceased to be thankful that the ending of the war has restored their sons to them.
 Sight never should be lost of the fact that Americas war debt is substan- tially all owed to the American people. Money to meet the interest charges on it and eventually to pay off the princi- pal will flow back to the sources whence it came. A national debt of this character is not a burden to crip- pie future business.

ADVERTISING WILL
 PUT OVER THE "V'
The Newspapers The Greatest Asset in Distributing the Lib erty Loan.

The newspapers will be counted upon to put over the "Victorious Fifth" Liberty Loan just as they did it's four predecessors.
 Prominent newspaper advertisers in many parts of the country have recently, in response to inquiries from officials of the United States treas ury, declared almost unanimously that they would prefer to again buy newspaper space and give 1t to the government rather than to resort to any new scheme for putting across this last chapter of the war finance program.
 The talk of dumping it on the banks is mistaken and unwise in the ex- treme.
 1t would be a mighty bad thing for business in general if the banks were compelled to absorb this fifth issue of the Liberty Loan.
 It would mean that if the funds of the banks were tied up in government securities the banks would have no money to loan to business houses for the expansion of their activities.
 The victorious Fifth" will be taken by the people and newspaper space mus: be used to aid in this pur- pose
 The victorious Fifth" loan must be sold both on motives of patriotism and as a wise and profitable investment that will involve an intensive cam paign of education.
 When leading newspaper advert- sers and the directors of advertising in the federal reserve districts re- gently held a council on the loan of 1919, men who paid for space in oth- CT loan drives were almost a unit in declaring that they stood ready to re- peat their orders.
 Three lines of appeals will be dom inant in the Fifth Liberty Loan.
 The first of these is Finishing the Job" The argument Will be made that Uncle Sam must be kept in funds un- til the job over there is definitely done, and until provision is made for the proper care of all the sick and wounded.
 The second topic will be Peace and Prosperity" This takes account of not only the obligations but the op- portunities of the nation in our new position of world leadership.
 Finally, the theme of investment" in the safest security on earth issued for short term and this exceutionally attracts~- to buyers.
Connecticut western news., 1919-03-06

The coming issue of government securities has been called the Victory Liberty Loan. It seems to me 1t might well be termed the Thanksgiving Loan, for if ever people had cause for thanksgiving we are that people.
 Consider if the war had lasted an other year what would have been our state. Instead of 60,00O dead we likely would have had hundreds of thou sands. In time we might have equaled the record of France, with her two million slain. And yet some of us grumble because the government must spend further money to maintain the comfort and bring home in safety those boys whose lives were spared.
 Congress is writing off the books $15,000, 100000, expenditure of which had been authorized and which would have had to be expended, with bill lions of other dollars, had the war gone on another year. We all are glad, of course, that it is not necessary to spend these additional billions, but had it been necessary the spending of them still would not have brought the nation down to ruin.
 We still would have been far behind France in the amount of our debt, compared to wealth and population.

"If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don't; If you like to win, but you think you
 can't
 It's almost certain you won't"
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1919-03-20

Petitions for a number of bills to
be referred will be circulated in Minot
within the next few days. These are
on bills enacted by the recent session
of the legislature and not all of them
pertain to the leagues program. The
Independent does not believe for a
minute that all of these measures
will be defeated when the time comes
for them to be referred in June, and
at this time we are not so sure that
all of them should be defeated. This
paper will be glad to publish opinions
concerning these measures and we are
going to study these measures and
give our honest opinion concerning
them regardless of whose toes we may
be tramping on. AS the Independent
understands the situation, these bills
will be brot out and discussed and the
people will have an opportunity to
place their stamp of approval or dis
approval on them. That is what we
have referendum for. If the meas
ures all carry at the special election,
then it will be up to US to accept the
will Of the majority with good grace,
and il they should not pan out as well
as we'll as anticipated, the people of
North Dakota will not be very slow
in seeing that they are remedied.
The Independent can see no possible
objection to signing the petitions.
