gains widespread popularity in one
receives much notice tho fol-
lowing year. Capes have bsen q radi-
cal departure from this rule. for. des-
-pite the great demand for them last
spring, they were4worn throughout
the autumn and winter, and new and
interesting versions are being offered
as spring fashions by both American
and French designers. There n q
great diversity IN the capes Of this
season. They r long and they are
short; some OF them are draped in
cling4ng folds, and such
models are usually caught in below
the knees; other new spring capes
hang straight from the shoulder and
have naring Medicf collars. The

OF these capes. especially those de-
signed for early spring wear.

VICTORY LOAN
IS A PEACE LOAN
Its $4,000, 100000 viii Pay Our
War Debts And Will Care For
Sick and Wounded Men.

Once in a while someone asks:
whats the need of another Liberty
Loan now that the wars oVer!
officials of the War Loan organiza-
ton in this district have replied by
outlining some of the purposes for
which money will be needed by the
Government next spring.
The amount raised by the Fourth
Liberty Loan lasted only until De-
cember LIST. Expenditures are going on
now at the rate of nearly $4,000, 100000
a month. There viii be a gradual re-
duction of treasury disbursements as
the war debts are wiped out.
The revenue from taxes will not be
sufficient to pay all the bills, so the
people will be called upon to provide
the money by subscribing to Govern
ment bonds. The issue will be for
not more than $4,000, 100000.
This enormous outlay OF money is
going to pay of the army of produc-
ers at home-the farmers, merchants,
manufacturers and others.
America had Just begun to fight
when the Hun decided It was time to
quit. Allied leaders expected the war
to last another year and the United
States Government was turning out
ships, arms, ammunition and food
with a view to Overwhelming Ger
many next fall.
Treasury officials have revealed thai
America would have had a tank at the
front for every seventy Eve feet Of the
line in 1880, 0O0 tanks We would
have had ten tons Of mustard gas
ready for shipment for every ton Ger
many could produce. Thousands Of
batteries Of guns would have been In
action for every one America had In
1918.
Everything else was being produced
In proportion.
This gigantic preparation brought
an early end to the war and saved
thousands of lives. Victory Bonds
will pay for this work which had been
contracted for and was being deliv-
cred when the armistice was signed.
There are other purposes for which
money is needed.
Part of our army Of 1000, 900 men
must be kept in Europe until the
peace treaty is signed. These sold.
iers must be fed, clothed and other
wise maintained Then they must be
brought home.
The sick and wounded must be
cared for in hospitals. The army
must be demobilized. There are
thousands of MANNED soldiers, he
roes of the great war, who must be
taught self-supporting trades and Civ
en- an opportunity to earn their Iv.
ing.
This reconstruction work at home
must be carried on. The Job must be
finished
The American people who furnished
the money to win the war must SUP
ply it also to bring the nation back
to a peace basis.

when he opened the bottle the only

UNCLE SAM IS
PAYING THE BILL
1t Runs Into Billions of Dollars,
But Those Billions Went In.
stead of Millions of Lives.

Uncle Sam has raised for his wal
chest an aggregate Of 3I7,S52. 900. 00o
through the medium Of the four Lib
erty Loans. Shortly he is to ask fol-
$1,000, 00O. 900 more.
This Is needed for the completion OF
his war obligations
Already some $40 900, 900. 900 has
been expended. Most Of this next loan
viii have been spent before 1t is in
Uncle Sans hands. For Uncle Sam is
cleaning up his contracts, paying his
contracts, paying his bills, as rapid
bills. as rapidly as possible.
The war will cost America more
than any of the other allied nations
But they bore the brunt of the blood
toll. Their greatest cost was in hui
man life.
Where Americas loss of life ran In
to the thousands, theirs went into the
millions.
And but for Uncle Sans participa-
ton. with his weight Of men and
money, the blood toll for all OF ua
would have been inconceivably more
staggering.
So whatever the financial cost
America got off cheaply. Between
dollars and lives there Is no compar-
ison. Dollars simply don't count
They will come back and the lives
never will
If, six months ago, we had known
that by lending the government IS
o00,000,000 we could have saved 500
900 lives, we would have furnished 4

| But Uncle Sans obligations stood
though the armistice was signed ans
the war ended. He stands to pay tn,
bills. He must pay them.
We must help. It Is our obligation
also. Those doughboys fought for US
for YOU and ME, as much as TO
Uncle Sam. We are all one.
And we must pay those bills; bill
for provisions, for munitions, for med
ical supplies and transportation, TO
soldiers pay and soldiers insurance
And when the Victorious Fifth
Liberty Loan comes along take you
share.
| Meantime save up to that end.
