Would Italy be brin ing back t.

Would France be jubllating over til

Englends battle feet be floating over

If the Hun had won there would be
no allied troops on the Rhine Bul
there would be hundreds of thousand
of allied prisoners shaving under Hun
taskmasters.
Would Russia be free to carry out
whatever there is in the myriad minds
of that maddened country? Would
America be talking after-the-war prob.

Wouldn't il be more likely that we
would be preparing to raise $4,000.
100000 indemnity, as the kaiser told
us We would after the war? Wouldn't
We be preparing as feverishly as W.
could to fight another and a more ter.

as soon as we possibly could?
Would the whole world be watching
the peace table with the hopeful In,

now has? Would there be any rejoicing
anywhere in all the world today except
In Hun Land?
Do you think the kaiser on the day
OF victory would have forgotten his
plans and dreams Of lifetime fol
world domination? Not If that person
had retained his mind, he would not
have forgotten
Not Time to Forget.
We haven't come to time yet when
We can afford to forget that the kaiser
had planned a snug little earth all his
own, which should be his to do as he
pleased with. He hoped to live many
years and watch the once free peoples
Of the world carrying their contribu
tons and taxes, their ransom money
and their indemnities to his doors.
1t cost the allies something to escape
all this. 1t cost untold lives, a world
OF suffering. the shadow of sorrow
for years and about s100, 000, 000, 900 in
money to escape the fate that Kaiser
Wilhelm had planned for them.
But 1t was worth all II cost to es.

Uncle Sam Will have TO add a few bill
lions more to his part OF the cost, and
that is the reason for the Victory Lib
erty Loan.
If you want to know who Is re-
sponsible for this Fifth Loan, simply
turn your thoughts to the kaiser. He
started 1t all over four years ago and
the world has long since adjudged him
as the criminal
Remember just the same that the
independence of America and your own
personal freedom are mighty cheap at
the price you are paying even II you
should put every dollar you have on
earth into the Victory Liberty Loan
We can be thankful that here in
America We have escaped with a slight
blood toll. Over In Europe they have
bought loan on loan, one after an
other. till the count was well nigh lost
and they number their dead by hun.
dreds and thousands where we number
ours by tens.
Digging In and raising a Liberty
Loan twice as big as the Victory Loan
ought to be high privilege and q
thing of ease and Quickness compared
with what the battered allies who
stood by us have undergone.
Labor's hosts will rally to the sup
port of the Victory Liberty Loan in
the usual solid array. The reconstruc
