FINISH THE JOB

Success Of the Victory Liberty
Loan, the fifth government war loan.
will depend largely on the savings of
lie people Of the nation.
To insure its success. we must save
NOW-to practice anew the great
lessons Of the war, thrift and economy.
Aside from the loss OF RESPECT for our:
selves as a nation, every family will
be unpleasantly affected, if the COM
ing loan is not fully subscribed. Uncle
Sans war exchequer is compelled to
spend money to maintain the army of
occupation. to rehabilitate the wound
ed. to bring home the victors and to
carry out the program of reconstruc-
ton.
This money is being borrowed from
the banks OF the country. and Uncle
Sam is issuing short-term certificates
OF indebtedness in anticipation of the
coming Liberty Loan and OF the fed.
eral income taxes. II the banks were
not speedily paid back, their resources
would be gone. and as they could make
no loans, credit operations would be
hampered and businss stagnate
How about it? Will we finish our
job-that Of paying the war bills, as
our immortal heroes finished theirs Of
vanquishing the Hun? They were not
cutters, even when called on to
make the supreme sacrifice. Will we
be cutters. when there Is all to gain
and nothing to lose?
A little saving now is all it will cost
and this saving will mean a stronger
grip on the future. The Victory Lib
erty Loan will soon be offered Will
you be ready to do your part!

WHAT IS THE MONROE DOCTRINE,

The now much talked OF Monroe
Doctrine which certain politicians
seem arprchnaive may be unfav orable
affected by the proposed league of
nations was and is governmental
policy announced by President Mon.
roe In his message to Congress on
December 2. 1928. at a time when
the Holy Alliance. composed of
Russia, Prussia and Austria, was con-
templating joining with Spain to as
sist her in recovering her lost colo
MES in South America. Considering
that such interference in the Western
hemisphere. on the part of European
powers, would be dangerous to the
interest Of the United States. Prcsi-
dent Monroe declared that the AM
crican continents, by the free and i'll
dependent condition which they have
assumed and maintain. are hence
forth not to be considered as subjects
for future colonization
The practical application of the
principle was announced in these
words:
I'VE owe it. therefore, to candor
and to the amicable relations exist
those powers (called powers Of Eu-
rope) to declare that we should con-
slider any attempt On their part to
extend their system to any portion of
this hemisphere. as dangerous to our
peace and safety
AS Mr.. Monroe explicitly states
that this government could not view
any interpcsition for the purpose OF
expressing them. independent colo
nies) or Of controlling, in any man
Yer, their destiny, by any European
Power. in any othec light than as the
manifestation OF an unfriendly dis
position toward the United States"
This Monroe Doctrine is not found
n the American Constitution nor
does it arise out of any act Of Con-
tress 1t is simply an announce
Inent of a policy OF our government
and as such was there and is yet APP
proved by Congress ;;nG the people
Of America and has been asserted
and maintained by our government
ever since Mr.. Monroe announced it.

LEWIS 3. FRANKLIN
War Loan Director.

did the men at German general head
quarters" states Mr.. Franklin, "but
the fact that America was preparing
for a drive on Berlin struck terror to
the general staff.
And those millions and billions, OF
dollars spent were far from being
wasted in an unnecessary preparation.
/ feel that the fact that money was
spent and that an enormous output of
munitions was ready was the control
ling factor in the weakening of the
German general staff. and that it caus-
ed 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 hundred of
thousands Of American men who
would have been sacrificed had the
war continued another year. ~.
THAT is the money we are going
to ask the American people for in the
Liberty Loan. We are going to ask
them for the money to bring our boys
home safe and sound, instead Of leav-
ing them buried in France. And
when the people of America realize
what this money did, we are not go
ing to find that they are lacking in
patriotism to come across"

Elihu Root keeps silent OH the

Taft. Charles E. Hughes. George w.

6IVE LEAGUE FOR SURE PEACE.

In the last phase of the Paris con-
Eress. the issue is whether the adop-
ton Of League Of Nations shall be
definitely incorporated in the prelimi-
nary peace, declares the London OBJ
server. weekly newspaper.
president Wilson's stand for that
method is one Of the strongest things
in his career" says the paper. His
attitude is full of moral shrewdness.
If he is to give some of the Allies
what they most want-America's sig
nature to q guaranteed peace-the
Allies must give him what he most
wants-the League and the main ar
ticleS in its covenant
There is no question that he is
right. No league-no peace for long,
without some new principle of associ-
alton between peoples. the settle
ment as usually projected would not
last five years. 1t becomes more and
more evidnt in our judgement, that
President Wilson speaks for an in
creasing majority of the American
people.
Much mischief and futility would
have been saved had it been plainly
realized months ago by the Allies with
out exception, that either Europe
must go thoroughly with the United
States into a new plan for a better
ordering and maintenance OF peace in
the whole world or the United States
will wash its hands Of Europe. And
that would mean return, sooner or
later. of German hegemony on the
continent
The instant question for the asso-
ciated powers is to make up their
minds about what to do with Ger
many. AS surely as arrogant spolia-
ton by Germany in 1871 was pun
ished in 1919 so surely will vindica-
tive abuse of victory recoil at some
future day upon the head Of France.
No political lunatic is now so dis
tempered as to suppose that Germany
can pay the whole cost of the war,
or for that purpose can be kept in
state of tribute and serfdom for fif-
~ or hundred years"

ARMENIAN AND SYRIAN RELIEF.

Under the leadership of Frank E

ton that the State has the best or
Eanization it ever had in any Of these
appeals to the people for funds. Our
States quota is $21S,000. Green
hrier's $500, and Mr.. McGravy is
confident the state will exceed it's quo

that thousands in Armenia and Syria
arc destitute having been overrun and
plundered by the Turks for four
years. The appeal to you is urgent.

sacrifice to bring a measure Of relief
to these stricken people. Act at once

KHAKI SOLDIERS
DID NOT LET Up
And the Nation Will Show
That It Stands Behind Them
in the Victory Liberty Loan
Drive.

More than a million OF Uncle Sans
boys are "over there" looking after
the common good of the world. And
they will have to stay upon the job
until it is done; until things are right
ed again; until order is brought out
OF chaos.
While they are overseas they must
be taken care Of adequately; they
must be clothed and fed and lodged
comfortably. Uncle Sam estimates
that it costs $423.27 year to equip
and maintain a soldier in Europe.
Part Of the proceeds from the com.
ing Victory Liberty Loan will be de-
voted to caring for the "doughboys."
Part Of it will so into the rehabilita.
ton fund for putting the injured sol.
dierr back upon their feet. Part of
it will go for insurance claims. The
rest OF 1t will go to meet the hundred
and one other demands for this great
est OF world emergencies since the
dawn OF civilization.
Every mothers son Of them did his
part. helped insure liberty and justice
for the world at large and restore
Uncle Sam to his rightful position in
thJ estimation OF the nations Of
earth.
They did their duty fully, these boys
who won. They fought to the end.
through fire and food. They never
talked about letting UP.
This is no time for Americans to
think of letting up. The nation must
stand by its guns. by its records; by
Uncle Sam and must make the next
loan another big success.
