PEACE MISSION
ASKS SUPPORT
OF FIFTH LOAN
Urges American People to
Finish the Job by Taking
the Victory Loan

Four members of the American peace
mission in France, Secretary of State
Robert Lansing. Col. f. NJ. House
General Tasker N. Bliss and Henry
White, have SEN this message to the
American people urging support OF the
Victory Loan:
ITO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:
1--WE have had the opportunity here
in France to see and realize the mag
nitude Of the accomplishment OF our
country in this war and the magnificent
spirit with which this great task has
been carried through to a triumphant
issue.
What has been dane and what re-
mains to be done before normal con
ditlons are restored demand your con-
tinued and united support with the
same spirit OF self sacrifice and OF de-
termination as that which was mani
tested by the nation while the German
armies faced our men at the Marine,
and in the Champagne. at st. Mihiel
and in the Argonne. We must not re-
lax our efforts until every soldier of
the republic is landed on the soil of
America.
ITO finish this mighty task imposes
upon the government of the United
States a great financial burden. The
Victory Liberty Loan must thrive. II
IL should fail 1t would indicate that the
Nation is willing to leave its task un-
completed.
ITO secure the ideals for which
Americans fought and died this great
demand on national patriotism and
united effort should meet a generous
and universal response. Let us do our
duty TO the end.

Chicken hawks are a great menace
to the farmers, as they steal their
chickens, pigeons and other small crea-
lures. The great danger Of them, in
France, was of their preventing the
delivery Of military messages carried
by pigeons. French children are
taught, In schools, how to catch these
hawks and are paid ten cents each for
every bird and egg of the bird that Is
brought in. These hawks resemble an
American eagle and have a wing
spread OF three feet. The bird lays
two eggs a year. This photo shows
n of the birds which has been
caught by an American trooper in
France.

TIE BACK AND RON
OF 1T
Back

Back of the Victory Loan stands the
treasury of the United States-the vast
wealth Of a great and powerful nation.
That makes 1t safe.
Back of the Victory Loan is the call
of duty. That makes it patriotic.
Back of the Victory Loan is Govern
ment interest. That makes 1t a good
investment.
Front
We are mastering out about fifteen
thousand men a day, and at this rate
1t will take ten months to demobilize
the army.
1t will cost over three billion dollars
to bring the boys back and feed and
care for them until it is done.
That gives us an idea OF the size
of the job.
Do you want the boys brought back?
Your subscription to the Victory
Loan is your answer.

Americas Munitions" by
Major Crowell, Tells Story
of u. S. Effort.

There is food for thought for Vic.
tory Loan Doubling Thomases in the
following excerpts from AMERICAS
MUNITIONS" just issued by Major
Benedict Crowell, Asst. Sect. OF Wal.
The estimated cost of the ordinance
required to equip our first five million
men was between s12, 900, 100000 and
s13, 900. 900, 900. Since 1775 and April
9Th, 1917, ALL appropriations of Con-
gress were but $26. 600, 900, 900, includ-
ing FIVE wars and the pensions result
ing from these wars. The total ost
of the ordnance effort to equip our
first FIVE million men amounted to
$1,000 for every hour since the birth
of Christ.
There was never a shortage of
smokeless powder.
Over $500, 900 shoulder rifles were
produced in the 10 months of our par
ticipation in the - than
either England or France produced
during that period. The average
monthly production during July, Au-
gust and September, 1918, vas as fol
lows:
France 40,500
England lIz,oZl
u. 5. Z55,ob2
Over three billion rounds of small
arms ammunition were produced and
our speed before the armistice was
twice that of France and 1919 greater
than England's.
Our production Of machine guns dur
ing the period from April 6. 1917, to
Nov. II, 1918, was slightly more than
England's and slightly less than
frances. At the end of the war our
rate was twice that of France and
nearly three times as great as Eng
lands.
In connection with 75-millimeter
shells, 4,250,000 high explosive shell.
0 $1,000 gas shells and 100000 shrap
mel had been produced complete by No

pear in German newspapers.
The week of mourning in Germany
decreed by the Government because OF
the terms Of the peace treaty appears tc
have met with little success. The weel
closed yesterday. The German mu.
sicians. in particular. seem TO be resent.
full over the order as a measure which
prevented them from earning their daily
bread, while the Taeoitsche Rundschdt
and the Berlin To0ebldtt admit that the
mourning was far from being completely
effective. Reports are that nearly al
the music halls remained open and tina,
in some places the people danced al
night. One bit Of pungent comment
comes from the Volksblott of Halle
which says:
at Is not now. but on August 1. 1914,
that general mourning ought to have
been ordered in Germany"
