HOW AMERICANS
STAY ON The JOB
The Victorious Fifth Loan viii
Prove That We Garry Out a
Task, However Great.

The Fifth Liberty Loan will give the
army OF patriotic buyers the chance
which all good Americans welcome.
1t will let the millions of buyers of

They will show that they are deter
mined to finish job to the very end,
even so great job as a world war.
In April or May of this year the
time comes for the last chapter. The
Government cannot for a moment drop
the great task upon which we entered
in April, 1917, until firm and lasting
peace is secured throughout the world.
II cannot stol until the Armies o.
Occupation are brought home. Unui
then the Treasury Department must
borrow from the people TO finance the
expense OF the war establishment. AT.
ter that our expense viii come from
taxes.
The reserves at home whose dollars
have fought with the men in the field
must mobilize now for rehabilitation
Of the troops. They have stood by the
nation in time of stress, The critical
period is past, but the work is vet TO
be completed. Completing it rests on
me VICTORIOUS FIFTH Loan.
The responsibilities OF the nation.

Of Interest to Insurers.

Some months ago it was seriously
proposed by prominent Life Insur-
ance company that, in view of the
anticipated heavy war mortality, the
Mutual Commission of this country
should omit, or at least largely re-
duce, the dividends of 1919.
The war is over, it is true, but the
war mortality, which is greater than
was at first supposed, will lessen the
earnings of 1918. This means an
extra drain upon the surplus which
all companies must be prepared to
meet.
Then comes the epidemic of influ
enza, entailing upon the country a far
heavier mortality than the war itself
with no defensive reservation in the
policies, such as the war clause in
use by all the companies during the
year. The two calamities combined
will increase the life insurance death
claims of 1918 by many millions. The
situation will prove such a test OF
legal reserve life insurance as has
not been experienced in the past.
In the case Of The Mutual Life
Insurance Company Of New York il
is anticipated that the mortality from
the influenza alone will approximate
If it does not exceed two million dol
lars.
The Mutua, Life is undisturbed. Il
wisely made ample provision in the
prosperous years of the past for just
such an emergency as this by steadily
Strengthening its contingency reserve
year after year, instead of distribut
ing all accruing surplus in the form
of dividends. 1t will not reduce its
annual dividend scale for the coming
year.
The same big dividends that have
been paid in the year 1918 will be
maintained during 1919. And this the
Company will accomplish without the
slightest Inconvenience or embarass
ment.
One Of this Company's attractive
policies Is advertised elsewhere IL

Germans Have Not
Raised Prices on Yanks
in Occupied Lands

With the American Army of Occu-
patton, Jan. 25.-Analysis of price re-
ports from the entire area occupied
by the Americans shows that the
prices current prior to the signing of
the armistice have remained substan-
TALLY unchanged. AlthoughTcertain
Isolated individual cases have been
reported of attempts to overcharge
American soldiers, there has been no
general tendency among the Germans
to increase the prices on goods in the
stores. In some shops in Coblenz
where prices have advanced since the
Americans arrived the merchants
contend that this has been necessary
because of an increase of from twen-
ty to forty per cent in the price of
certain articles from the factory
And, to bear out their statemen ents
the merchants show letters from fac
tory managements in Berlin and
other manufacturing points.
Coblenz has had as much difficult
ty in procuring food supplies cas- any
part of the American area, and yet,
outside of serious shortage in some
essentials, such as fats. the general
feeling in the city is one of hopeful
ness in regard to the food situation.
This hopefulness extends only to this
area, and not to the districts of in
terror Germany, which, according to
reports, are worse off.

COSTUMES OF OLD
TO MINGLE WITH
MODERN AT BALL
Masquerade and Everyday
Suits Will Present Unique
:, Scene at Function

That Harrisburg is very rapidly
resuming. its normal state of mind
seems to be evidenced by the tre-
mendous demand for tickets to the
Charity Ball to be held next Friday
night at the Penn Harris Hotel. Hen
derson Gilbert, of the committee in
charge of the affair, said this morn
ing that advance calls for tickets
have already broken all records, and
the flood of checks and currency
which came to the committee to-day
was astounding. Governor William
G. Sproul is to be on hand, with
Highway Commissioner Lewis s.
Sadler and many others of the Gov
ernor's official family, so that the
affair will have decidedly official"
air.
Mr.. Gilbert again called attention
to the fact that it Is not required
that guests wear fancy dress or go
to the party masked. While the ball
is masquerade, there will be hun
dreds of attendants in ordinary cos
tunes.
The committee to-day arranged
with Floyd Hopkins, of the Majestic
theater, for a number of stage
'grips" who will handle the machin-
cry for the still-mysteriops ceremon-
les which will accompany the un-
masking at IL o'clock. Several men
will be required for this job, and a
lot of specially constructed appa-
ratus. One corner of the Penn -Har-
ris lounge is being reserved for this
feature, to be staged as the clocks
strike II.
The hotel management continues
to receive many calls for supper
reservations. Ball tickets do not in
clude supper. as is well known.
The Associated Aid Societies, it is
expected, will benefit by not less
than $4,000 as result of the ball.
That will mean the sale of 1900
tickets Ordinarily some mighty
heavy expenses would come out of
the gross receipts,G but charitable
Harrisburg men and women have ar
ranged to take care of all expenses
connected with the ball, so that ev-
cry penny of the receipts will go to
charity.
