NOT 4 RICH MANS
 VAR hND 4 POQR
 MANI sF|GHT AT ALL
THOSE WHO ARE GAihiNG MOST ARE THE PEOPLE OF SMALL
 MEANS.
N FINANCIAL AFFAIRS
Wealthy Give Up Profits iw Taxes Which Do Not Hit the Other
 Classes.

Buyers of Government securities
 and experts who have studied the ef- feet of the war on the financial situa-
 tion in the United States are pointing out that poor people in the United
 States are gaining most from the ef-
 fleets of the war
 The rich manufacturer is watching
 his profits go in the shape of war taxes and war profits. Congress has
 seen to that. The people with the
 smaller incomes are losing proportion ateiy less through taxation. Further
 more, the money they have invested
 and win invest in government securi-
 ties and Liberty bonds will make them
 collectively, the heaviest creditors in the future
 If it were the other way round, if
 the rich were financing this war by the buying of bonds and the people with the smaller incomes were doing
 their war financing in the shape of
 taxes, the reverse would be true If that were the situation, then the poor of the next generation wouRd be taxed to pay the interest and the principal of the loans that were held by the rich. This is what happened after the Civil War. As it Is now the poor man with few Liberty Bonds is in far different circumstances to what that same poor man would have been after the Civil War
 Emphatically, this last war was not
 "a rich mans war and a poor mans fight" It was everybody's fight as we all know who watched the workings of the draft law, but it will be the poor mans profit if the poor man will just have sense enough to hang on to his Liberty Bonds and get more of them at every opportunity.
 That is why the poor man who is
 wise in his day and generation will buy
 as many Fifth Liberty Loan notes l fshort-term bonds) as he possibly can and hang on to them. He will buy as an investment, knowing that I the rich man who sought profit from | the war is seeing those profits go in the shape of heavy war profits taxa | ti0n, and that the rich mans money in this taxation is being used to pay the interest on the bonds held by the
 poor man.

ARE PAYABLE IN GOLD

Canada and the United States are the only nations which state in their official prospectuses that their war loans are payable in gold. The Jaw authorizing the liberty loans of the United States state that the bonds are payable in gold of the present stand ard of value. Obligations or the United States may be issued under Ac; of Congress, payable in foreign currency, but obligation so issued will not be payable also in United States gold coin.

Victory Loan Ls
 the Thumb Issue

The thumb is not as graceful, uni form and regular as the four fingers but the dependability and the indis penSability of the thumb needs no ar gument or defense. The other fingers are, more or less, of a family like ness. The thumb has g form and a function of it's own-and quite related to the fingers. One has noticed the pitiable efforts of man who has lost his thumb when he tries to do the sim plest things like writing or yielding a hammer of buttoning his collar The thumb stands off to itself-but the four tapering fingers, either of which might be spared better than the thumb, call on the odd member of the group when there is clinching, grasp ing. hitting to be done
 All the four Liberty Loan campaigns have been more or less alike. The Fifth stands of to itself. in date and in setting and situation altogether Though different from the others, this Fifth is the most important of all Il is the grasp effort, the clinch drive the smashing blow. AS the thumb en closes the other fingers of the first for the determined drive, so this in elusive campaign is to be the solidify ing, the perfecting effort of financial America in its endeavor to put over the momentum of wonderful resources in the world-campaign for right and rights.
 The other campaigns were alike in that the danger of results which might follow failure sparred to action the inspiration of the hope of good re suits which would be sure to come with the success vitalized the cam. paign; the enthusiasm of the fevered period, the bands and the fiags-au that made the first four efforts sue cesses. The thumb drive is a cold blooded business proposition. It means a loyalty of patriotism which digs down cheerfully and comes up with the money to pay for what he has al ready been obtained and enjoyed in considerable measure. It is the test drive; it is the real crux of the trial of American fealty; it will reveal the fine Americans who, having subscribed their money for hope or pledged their coin from fear, now plank down the dollars from honest conviction.
 The thumb drive is going to be the biggest and the most American ot them all.

 "Anyone can prepare simple mix ture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy.

ment. At the present time the files
of the bureau show that only 2,25G
men still remain on the mot hired"
list. This means that 94.3 per cent of
the men seeking employment have
found it through the instrumentality
of the bureau.
Rumors Are Refuted.
There have been rumors which some
people have been busy in passing
along to the effect that bureaus for
aiding the soldiers and sailors to get
re-established in civil life were not do
ing adequate work. To a considerable
extent this sort of thing, it is said,
has been propaganda for no good pur-
pose. So far as the district which has
Chicago for it's headquarters is con
cerned, the attested records which
show that 94.3 per cent Of the appli-
cants have found work, speak for
themselves.
In the daily life of the bureau there
is much to be found of human interest.
OF the 43,345 men who registered
about 5000 asked for assistance along
lines other than that of employment.
They wanted to secure vocational
training, to be given information con-
corning educational work, and in some
cases there were requests for clothing
and for temporary loans. Every case
was met. Out of the great number Of
men who applied at the bureau only
438 actually needed food. Between
5000 and 1000 of the men did not
know how to eel their bonuses
from the government. Every man was
told how to go at it and every man got
his money. OF the applicants for as
sistance $500 have entered courses of
vocational training.
Much of Interest.
The activities Of the bureau as they
have gone on day by day are interest
ing to watch. From the returned sol
diers and sailors one gets the after
the-war viewpoint. The comments on
the war and its aftermath and the
conclusions which the men have drawn
show almost invariably thoughtful
consideration Of the problems involved.
Col. Halstead Dorey, who served
with the Third Division in France and
who was four times wounded, is ac-
