The Victory Liberty Loan
We Started Job in April 1917 No,u We Must Finish

The Fifth Liberty Loan, or the Victory
Loan, as it is going to be called is the last
Liberty Loan.
The money to be raised in this Loan is
necessary to clean up the job we started in
April, 1917
The Victory loan drive will start in Doug
les County on Monday, April 81, and end the
next Saturday night.
The United States Treasury Department has
announced that Short Term Notes will be is
sued for this Loan instead Of longer term
Bonds.
The Short Term Notes will look very much
like the former Liberty Bonds, but will be re-
deemable in not over five years.
The exact date the Notes will be redeemable,
the rate of interest they will draw, and the
amount of the Loan, will be announced shortly
by the Secretary Of the Treasury. "
1t is expected, however, that the Loan will
be for about five billion dollars, that the Notes
will mature in five years and that they will
draw about the same rate of interest, or slightly
higher, than the last Liberty Loan.
Why is another Government Loan neces-
;ary?
The Victory Loan is necessary because the
bills of the war must be paid. h
The Government has spent all the money
raised by previous loans.
"Too much money has been spent" you say.
Have you weighed the value of Americas
expenditure for guns, ships, airplanes and mu-
nitions, and Of the training of four million men
and Transporting two million of them to
France?
This expenditure showed Americas deter
mlnatlOn and strength and put war to an end
year sooner than predicted by allied military
men.
Have you compared the cost of munitions,
even though unused, with the value of the lives
of 100000 American young men who would
have been killed in the next year of fighting?
What if we have to cancel contracts at a
loss?
The making Of these contracts and the work
on them dispelled Germany's hope of victory
and ended war.
Is it not better to bring our boys home from
victory than it would have been to keep them
over there to be killed?
Are we so ungrateful that we can lend our
money to put our men into danger and not lend
to get them home, now that they have stopped
the Hun and won great victory!
Are we so selfish that we will say to our
boys: I'VE supported you while we were
fighting; you can now take care of your
selves?''

"Pcrmit mo to congratulate you on
the two weeks of wel-earned rest now

made to the people of the City of New
York when you resigned from the high
position of the Court of General Ses-
slons to serve as District Attorney.
SIT is too bad that the good people
of our city in the pursuit of their re-
spective calings do not stop to take
note of an honest officials cndeavors
in their behalf. but in their apparent
indifference expose him to persecution
and annoyance on the part of those few

day II don't want to be exempted
from anything, and will enter into the
spirit OF the university the same as any
one else.
II would hate to shave off nv mus

they do the other freshmen, because I

Mr.. Dillon will probably enter the
college department, though he is seri-
ously debating the advsablity of ma
circulating in the Wharton School. He
says the real reason of his acceptance
lies in the fact that man can never
know too much and that he has always
wanted a real collegiate education.
Mr.. Dillon was born in Ireland in
January, 1850 and came to Philadel-
phla when he was nine years old. At

to Farmers

Patrick D. Fox, vice president of the
Borden's Farm Products Company an
nounced yesterday that his company
would not advance the price for bot

ert price, which will be continued, is
l8 cents quart for Grade milk and
20 cents for Grade A.
A nominal increase in the price to
the producer, from $3.68 a hundred
pounds to $3.50, will cost the Bordcn's
Farm Products Company $1,000 during
the month, Mr.. Fox said, but this co st
will not be passed on the consumer.
Last year. Mr.. Fox said, "the Bor-

the passengers of last glimpse Of

in the other car, however, had an un-

Seven patrol wagons had been gath

When the train was due the wagons
were rushed through the streets to the

Although the streets were crowded

materialize, however. Few persons in

the stranger went directly to the side

locked during the day for the con-

this time, for the man in uniform en-

He was inside only about fifteen
minutes. He came out without haste
and stood in the doorway for mo-

he walked away toward Ocean Ave-

The motorman of an Ocean Avenue

The prints of No. 8 shoes were found

by men in service.
The red-smeared door leading from
the kitchen to the upper part of the
house furnished what Inspector Faurot
regards as most important clue.
Fairly legible finger prints, only slight

1t is the belief of the police that the
murderer was man who knew the
habits of the Clark household. Other
wise he scarcely would have picked the
hour he did for his crime. The police
think that he was concealed near the
house, perhaps in the built struc-
ture adjoining, to watch for the expect

made his entrance boldly as soon as

Once his victim lay still the burglar
went without hesitation to the door

There was no evidence of any search in
any other room. In fact, the thief
missed a $1,000 Liberty bond and a
consde rable sum in cash because of
his apparent confidence that he knew
what he wanted and where to find it.
