Director Franklin Tells How
American Munitions on the
Way Brought War to End.

The war supplies that have bean de-
liyered aud must be paid for but never
used were what actually brought the
war to the sudden end SO much ear
licr than had been expected, accord
ing to Lewis 3. Franklin, director OF
the war loan organization for the
United States.
Those are the things for which
we are going to pay with the Fifth
and last-Liberty Loan Mr.. Frank
lin explained at a meeting of Liberty
Loan chairmen.
THAT is what | mean when ] say
that this money you arc going to raise
through the things already bought
with the credit of it's paying for tho
saving of half million American
lives.
"The speed and bravery of the
American dough boy affected tho
German on the front line more than it
did the men at German general head
quarters; but the fact that America
had ten tons Of mustard gas ready for
shipment in 1919, to every ton that
Germany had; the fact that we were
going TO have tank on the front line
for every rs fee Of the line in 1919;
the fact that we would have thou
sands OF batteries of guns where we
did not have single one In 1878
those facts had an influence on the
German General Staff.
And, far from that money, those
millions and billions Of dollars wasted
in an unnecessary prepa ration, feel
that the fact that the money was spent
and that that enormous output of
munitions vas ready, was the con-
trolling factor in the weakening of the
German General Staff, and that it
caused 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 hundreds of
of American men who
would have been sacrificed had the
war continued another year.
II do not believe that We are going
to be troubled with this loan. look
for at least 100000 subscribers to
the next loan"

$10-BUT NO LIVER!

Paris.-Even if peace has come,
arsey life is not all peaches and cream,
but when 1t is all liver, there is going
to be Kick. There was, too, in a
regiment north of here recently when,
after period OF no fresh meat, every
supply train for about two weeks
brought shipment of liver which the
boys had morning, noon and night
A big doughboy stood this until one
day he got letter from home with
a check for 100 francs. Straightway
he got leave and made for Barbecue.
He walked into the Y. NJ. c. A. can
teen there, settled himself at a table
and called for a menu card. And
there it was again--liver-bu further
examination showed that there were
plenty of other things Taking out a
pencil, the doughboy carefully blotted
out the offending Wand Then he
handed the "Y" woman the card and
announced triumphantly:
Gimme ten dollars worth both
ways from the liver"
