those of all sections of the country
are called upon by the government
to again lend their savings-thls

a gigantic spring drive this year.
Germany knew what was coming
She knew of the waves Of Ganks who
were constantly going across, more
speedily than the country had hoped,
more quickly by far than the United
States had PROMISED England and

Germany knew that she was beat

that only "a small part of the program

which she could not hope TO cope with.
Our government needs the money
to pay for this great pile of munitions
which were never used. but which
brought the desired result. They
forced Germany 90 quit year sooner
than had been expected.
This pile of munitions saved the
lives Of probably more than one
