Eighteen American tanks, built for

was announced by the Treasury De-

small tanks, capable of going forty

It is not likely that the tanks will
break any speed laws. as their limit
of five miles an hour. Each will car
ry two men, the driver and mechan-

district, several to a state, and will
be driven from town to town over the
country roads.
The tanks will be met at the princi-
pal towns by speakers for Victory.

in connection with public rallies. They
will be operated under the direction of
the publicity department and speak

WHAT'S YOUR WORRY?
this QUESTIONABLE
MAY solve PROBLEM

The government already is exploit
Ing the Victory Liberty Loan. which
will be noated in April, in order that
The people may start saving for the
purpose of investing in bonds of the
Victory issue" The following brief
QUESTIONABLE should tend to clarity
Lhe mind of any reader regarding the
Victory Loan:
@. The war being over, why Is
there need of another great popular
war loan?
A. The proceeds from the Fourth
Loan, according to Secretary Of the
Treasury Glass, were exhausted last
December, and the government must
have billions more with which to
maintain our forces overseas, bring
tho victors home and carry out its re-
construction plans.
@. II Uncle Sans strong-box is
empty, how is he paying his after-war
expenses?
A. This is being done with money
borrowed from the banks at the rate
of 6O0, ,0C0, 900 every two weeks, short
term anticipation certificates of indebt-
edness being ifsued in return.
@. AS long as the banks are ad-
vancing the money, why not let them
continue to do so?
A. Because in order to continue to
extend credit to the business interests
big and little Of the country the banks
must get back this money-amounting
to 20 per cent Of their entire re
sources-when it falls due, as only
thus can the prosperity we now enjey
be continued.
O. Will the Victory Loan be Of
fered to the people on a commercial
basis, or will their patriotism again be
appealed to?
A. Secretary Glass says the pa
triotism of the American people will
be relied upon to send the loan trium-
phantly "over the top" It. however.
will be made particularly attractive as
to rate of interest and period OF ma
turity.

VICTORY CAMPAIGN
STARTS WITH BOOM;
new LOAN POPULAR
Interest At 4341o Per Cent And Four
Year Term PIeases TheS
Public

Atlanta, Ga.-The Victory Loan
campaign has got off to flying start,
to judge from the kilograms pouring in
upon the district headquarters within
the first few days of the big drive That
the Sixth Federal Reserve District
will go over the top with bang is
indicated by the early results, though
it will require the cooperation of every
citizen to make success assured.
The announcement of the terms of
the Victory Loan did great deal to
inspire subscriptions from those who
invested from business standpoint as
well as from patriotic motives. THE
notes pay 4 3/4a6, the highest interest.
Of any of the Liberty Loan series; and,
IRE payable by the government in four
years after date. This high interest
ind the short term makes them GER
tain to remain at a high figure, finan-
ciers say, and there will be no dan
ger of their dropping to discount.
Secretary Carter Glass has announe-
ed positively that this will-be the last
Of the Liberty loans. 1t will pay the
bill for defeating the Hun and bring
the boys back home.
The campaign all over the district
was opened with parades and great
celebrations. In Atlanta the central
part of the city was more elaborately
decorated than ever before in history.
In several of the larger cities the Fly
ing circus" of airplanes fought mimic.
battles in the air high above the
streets. Secretary Glass is to deliver
an address in Atlanta on May i.
Chairmen all over the Southern
states are reporting that the Victory
loan is easier to put over than they
had expected.
"Our people have not lost their pa
triotism,"~ they report. There was
an apparent apathy. We had begun
to beAeye the public thought the war
was all over and there was no use In
subscribing to more bonds. But we
were wrong. The American city man,
town man, farmer,-is willing to pay
his share of the war bill, and he is
proving it."
That is the patriotic side Of the mat
ter. On the business side, the short
term bonds or notes appear to strike
the public eye favorably. The average
man is more willing to tie up his
money for four years than for long
er period, and the fact that the gov
ernment promises to pay in four years
makes the securities more easily ne
gotiable at full price than if period
of twenty years were involved.
The quota for the district is $144,-
600, 900. Several counties reported
arly on the first day that their quotas
had been reached. and asked for Vic
tory Loan honor flags, which are to J,
be awarded to every community over
subscribing its share. The fair and
square individual quota system adopt
ed by many counties helped to carry
them over the top on volunteer

lions Among the Uneducated

The fact that several thousand sol
diers were unable to understand the
orders given them from their superiora
and that many, many thousands could
not sign their own names to their
questionnaires brought to light q con
dition so serious that two Southern
Representatives at Washington are
now introducing bills to promote the
education Of illiterates throughout the
: length and breadth of America. Sena.
tor Hoke Smith, Of Georgia, has intro.
duced bill In the Senate Ito promote
the education of illiterates, OF persons
unable to understand and use the Eng
lish language, and other resident per
sons of foreign BIRTH" and the same
measure has been introduced in the
House by Hon. William B. Bankhsad,
Of Alabama.
The introduction of this important
bill means q great deal to the South,
which, because of its negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne q
reputation for illiteracy out Of proper
tion to that of the rest of the coun'
try. Just what steps will be immedi'
ately taken as the result of the passage
of the education Of illiterates bill al
Washington cannot be stated at this
time, but, certainly, practical meas
ures will be put into operation for the
establishment of schools in both rural
districts and cities.
Other organizations besides that OF
the government are at work ON the
same problem-the establishment OF
schools in the heart Of tenement dis
tricts and rural communities being a
matter Of first Importance with all OF
them. One of the most significant
movements of the times in this con
nection is that of the Centenary ei
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, because that denomination will
expend within the next five years over
5000, 900 among the uneducated
classes In the Southern and Western
States. The church Is to raise a fund
of $35, ,00O, 900 in an eight-day drive IN
April, the financial campaign being q
part OF the Centenary Celebration OF
the denomination. The money is be-
ing raised with view to putting the
work OF the church on business
basis, the church considering Its duty
| to the illiterates here in America to be
among the matters of first Importance
which It should undertake. A survey
/! has been made and the result OF the
campaign will be the apportionment Of
S3 0O0, 900 among the various illiterata
population az follows:S Mountain pop
ulation, $3.50, coo; immigrant, 100000;
negroes, $5O0,000; Indians, $150,0Oo;
cotton mill populs tien, $15O.o90; Chris
! tian literature for all of them, 100000
With the definite step undertaken
at Washington, with one denomination
already completing its plans for fur
thering the work among them, and
with other churches and organizations
getting ready to join hands in their
behalf. It Is more than possible that
