Each of these hospitals contains 100
beds and complete equipment except
for kitchen utensils. The buildings in
which these hospitals will be housed
in the Near East have been erected.
With the hospital equipment the com
mittee will purchase large quantities of
medical supplies which have been
stored in France to safeguard the
health of American soldiers. These
supplies will be rushed to the Near
East from a French port.
Careful surveys of the situation in
the Near East indicate that lack OF
transportation facilities is the chief
cause of famine. There is food enough

The world at large admits that the
United States started something"
when we went into war. The treasury

lieve that the United States will be
ready and willing TO finish IL" when
the last three weeks in April roll
around
The last three weeks in April are
the weeks tentatively set for the Fifth
Liberty Loan campaign. And one OF
the appeals to be made to the public
in the sale OF the bonds will be the
appeal 10 finish the job. A committee
headed by Guy Emerson. director OF
the Liberty Loan Committee OF the
Nev- York district, was appointed at
recent meeting OF treasury depart
ment representatives from the twelve
federal reserve districts and delegated
to 60 over the ideas and views ex-
pressed at the conference with an
idea OF sitting out OF them a basis for
q sales campaign in Spring.
Two features stood out pre-emi-
nently as obvious and convincing argu-
ments for the purchase OF bonds Of the
Fifth loan. One was the need for fn-
ishing the Job we have on our hands.
The heavy expenses incident to de-
mobilization. return Of the boys and
whatever reconstruction or world
policing duties may fall to US from
the peace table must be met. The
proceeds from the Fourth Loan are
unavailable for these purposes rs they
were spent almost as soon as they
were raised
The other feature upon which par
ticular stress is to be laid. In the
opinion OF the men outlining the plans.
IL the investment feature. In pre-
vious loan campaigns the prospective
buyer has been told repeatedly that
bonds were a good investment. the best
investment, in fact. but in the Fifth
Loan this phase OF the issue is to be
more clearly emphasized. AS an in
vestment the bonds will be particu-
larry attractive from the standpoint Of
safety because the transition from a
war TO peace basis in the nation can
not have any other effect on them
than to increase their value.

not limit its practice to matters OF
money but urges, thrift in time and in
health.
"In the present period OF recon

practice thrift, and every employer
such that his employees can practice

Giving up all pleasures and recrea-
tons for the sake of saving money is
not thrift. according to the Straus
view. He says:

Tens of thousands of people are as
