VICTORY LOAN IS
 BECOMING 4 GREAT
 INSURANCE POLICY
lNsuRING US FOR GENERATION AGAINST ANOTHER WORLD
 WIDE WAR.
THE BACKBONE OF PEACE
Until Real Order Comes Uncle Sam Must Remain WatchfulIy
 on the Job.

The armistice was signed back il1 November of last year, but since the cessation of hostillties, Europe has been bubbling volcano. bubbling with riots, unrest, sedition, Bolshevism and all manner of disturbances
 No man can say. when order, un- doubted order, will be restored. No one can tell how long it will De til orderly, strong, clean and sane gov ernments will be set up.
 Until order does come Uncle Sam will be watchfully on the job He does not want the results of year of hard fighting and untold national effort to be wasted. He cannot af- ford to turn his back, go away and have another dangerous situation arise.
 Here in America we may as well make up our minds to that end We Americans have duty to our govern ment to perform That duty is to back up until America and the nations associated with America have put an end to possibilities of trouble in the world.
 It will be far better to do that now than to hurry home, leaving the Euro pean nations and the rest of the world to get along as best they may. Czar Nicholas is dead He is only a mem. OTy in Russia now. The Romanoff family perished with it's head. But since the day of his abdication, there has not been one hour of order in Russia BoIshevists overthrow Ker- ensky, who is well nigh forgotten. Rioting and murder have become com monplaces of Russian life. From bad to worse the situation went. It is now utter chaos in the old land of tho Czars.
 It is much the same in Germany. No man to this day knows what will finally happen there. Austria is ripped and torn by dissension. In the north the German Austrians are uniting with such order as they may find in Ger many. In the center the Czecho-Slavs are setting up nation. Iii the south the Jugo-Slavs are building up new country, unsettling old conditions there and causing a dangerous situa. ton in the Balkans and the Adriatic littoral
 Doubtless the peace conference de- cisions will be accepted in the end. But in the meanwhile what will occur Who is to enforce the decisions if they are disputed? How can these be en- forced without money and men?
 The United States sponsored the League of Nations Unless America backs it with It's force and with it's money 1t will not be worth the paper its principles are written on How else can America back it financially save by raising loans and collecting revenues? Have you considered that in connection with the Victory LoanY If we want to end wars now is the time. If we want to end them we must be ready to make our position felt
 A League of Nations that left dog en countries in Europe ready to spring at each others throat would be the champion laughing stock of all the ages. Such league would make the name of America, it's sponsor, a subject for jest in all tongues and un- der all suns
 We are into this thingnow For tue honor of America. for the sake of the good name of the best nation cn earth. let us finish up the job. Why, this Victory Loan is like making 2 pay ment on an insurance policy, insuring us all for generations against another great war
