THE FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN
(By Publicity Committee)

The war is over; then why do we
need a Fifth Liberty Loan?
1t is shortsighted, unthinking per-
son who asks that question. If he
would pause long enough to think 1t
over, he could write the answer to
his own question. For every man
who thinks knows no transaction Is
completed until the bills are paid.
The United States spent five bill
lion dollars at the finish to save one
hundred thousand lives. three hun
bred thousand wounded, and fifteen
billions in dollars which would have
been spent had the war continued
government officials agree.
Nobody had an idea the war could
end before a great drive in the spring
of 1919-about this time. Military
experts believed it would last unit
late summer or fall.
But Uncle Sam went to work on |
big scale. He poured money int
preparations, built a sky-full of all
; planes, a bridge of ships, sent owe
men by the thousands upon thous
ands called other thousands into tn
training camps.

> Her spies told her the truth. An

that was coming. She never tool. the
Initiative or did a single thing that vas
aggressive She had prepared herself

pared h%self that no other people
might impose its will upon her.
AS l stand with you and as I mix
with the delightful people of this coun-
try / see this In their thoughts:
America always was our friend Now
she understands. Now she compre-
hends. and now she has come to bring
us this message, and that. understand
ing, she will always be ready to help.
And white. as YOU say. this danger may
prove to be a concluding danger while
it is true that France will always be-
nearest this threat if we cannot turn
1t from threat into promise there
are many dement's that ought to re-
assure France. There is q new awak-
ened world. 1t is not ahead of us. but
around US. 1t knows that its dearest
interests are involved in its standing
together for common purpose. 1t
knows that the peril of France, II It
continues, will be the peril of the
world. 1t knows that not only France
must organize this peril. but that the
world must organize against it.
so l see in these welcomes not only
hospitality. not only kindness, not only
hope, but purpose. definite. clearly
defined purpose, that men. understand
ing one another. must now support one
another and that all the sons of free
dom are under a common oath TO see
that freedom never suffers this danger

know that / have the very distinguish

in a representative capital. i delight
in this welcome, therefore. as if had
brought the people of the United States
with me and they could see in your
faces what l zee in the tokens of well
come and affection.
The sum of the whole matter is that
France has earned and has won the
brotherhood of the world. She has
stood at the chief post Of danger, and
the thoughts of mankind and her broth

dom. turn to her and center upon her
If this be true. as l believe it to be,
France is fortunate to have suffered.
She is fortunate to have proved her
