ington for instructions. General Cor
bin replied instructions would be sent
in a few days and added that the
1000 men ready for service in Montana
was the first unit that had reported
for duty.
He referred to the opinion express
sed by a few men that it might be
difficult to float this bond issue and
stated it should be remembered that
while conditions have changed in
some respects, so have the terms OF
the bonds, such as taX exemption
features, short period Of time and
other factors that make the bonds
more attractive.
Value of Organization.
In conclusion, he dwelt upon the
value of organization. remarking that
no matter how periodically inclined
citizens are, scarcely any OF them
would have subscribed as much as
they did for Liberty bonds had it not
been for the organization, represent
ing the community spirit, that was
back of the demand.
Not a word of his own experiences
on the battlefield did Major Sheridan,
second nan in the A. f. F. to be rec
commended for the distinguished ser
vice medal, tell, but he dwelt upon
the reconstruction days to come, OF the
necessity for money to taxi care OF
the returning soldiers until they are
re-absorbed into civilian life, and OF
the necessity for money with which to
buy for starving countries and thus
check Bolshevism.
American Ace Talks
Lieutenant Furlow, one OF Amer
ica's Ga aces, humorously touched up
on some of the amusing phases of the
war and then observing that "there is
too much to be done at present to sit
back and tell war stories," urged his
auditors to make the Victory loan a
success. "The men in France wore
your uniform" he said, "they fought
your battles, they were wounded, and
they died, and from first to last they
were actuated, not by motives of ag-
grandizement, but by the inspiration
of patriotism, The boys in France
were not the whole army, they were
merely the shock troops Of Americas
army 10000, 900 strong. Some Of the
boys in France have been mustered
out, but Americas army here at home
has not been discharged, and cannot
be discharged until the consciences Of
each one Of US tell us the job is fin
ished."
Are Mere Incidentals.
One of the most forceful talks OF
the meeting was made by John G.
Brown. In terse language he gave
the reasons for the necessity of this
loan, citing as mere i%ncidentals of the
costs that still confront the govern
ment, half a billion dollars for sol
diers' bonuses, $500 transportation
charge for each man still in France
to this country, food for impoverish
ed nations as an antidote for Bolshe
vism and, lastly, that unless this loan
is floated, the country's credit will
be jeopardized.
He spoke of Americas part in tn
fighting, and added that it would no
be characteristic Of America to d
ANYTHING else but "follow the thin'
through so the underdog gets tn
! square deal"
In conclusion, he urged the cam
; paigners to do as the English Off
] GERS do who, dying, summon the mex
in command and invest them wit
their own authority with the simpl
! instructions to Garry on"
