SEVEN OF THE
VICTORY LOANS
II REASONS

Billions are needed to take mil
lions of Americans out of khaki!
The official estimated expense of
maintaining Americas army till
rehabilitation is complete Is
s2,354,317,0O0.
or the 100000 fighters called
to the colors before the signing OF
the armistice. 2,002,175 were on
overseas duty. Up to the middle
of March less than 100000 were
back from the battlefields.
The cost of getting Pershing's
conQuerors and the men who per-
formed valiant service on this side
back into civil life will total at
least 1894, 043,250.
That $50 bonus to honorably dis
charged men adds $225,O00,000 to
the rehabilitation bill.
Then come transportation costs
abroad and at home. These include
the item of $700,000.000 for Amer
ica's superb transportation system
in France. Water and rail cost
estimates for travel oscillate at the
$500, 100000 mark.
Millions also are due for the
supplies. equipment and munitions
that by ending the war suddenly
saved at least 100000 priceless
American lives!

ROOSEVELT SAID

Don't let Wall Street monopolize
The financing of the war, but if you do
then do not blame Wall Street
Simply admit that it y more patriotic
and far-sighted than you are"
Theodore Roosevelt.
Theodore Roosevelt was a great
American because he saw through to
the heart of things and because he had
courage enough to tell what ne saw.
He said something in that quotation
above that every American ought to
con over.
Roosevelt practiced what he
preached. He bought Liberty Bonds
20 his limit. He wanted to keep the
securities Of the United States out OF
Wall Street. He felt that they be-
longed in his house and the house of
every plain American for the good of
The nation.
There should be Liberty Bonds in
every home in America" he declared
another time. Like all greet men,
America is the future of the millions
If humble homes dotting her hills and
valleys, her plains and cities. He
knew, too, that Liberty Bond in
hose humble homes assured Amer
cas- future.
You know it even as did Roose-
velt.
Help mould America with the Vic.

There is food for thought for Vic

Benedict Crowell, Asst. Sect of War.
The estimated cost of the ordinance
required to equip our first five million
men was between s12,000,000 900 and
S13,000,000.000. Since 1875 and April
9Th, 1917, ALL appropriations of Con-
sress were but $4,000, 100000, includ-

of the ordnance effort to equip our
first five million men amounted to

Over 100000 shoulder rifles were

than Englands
Our production of machine guns dur
ing the period from April g, 1917. to
Nov. II, 1918. was slightly more than
