back in order if possible to force the

That they were not forced to give

to our governments preparations to
crush the enemy completely. The In

THE Neei York Sun believes: "Sena-
tor Calder ices well to urge that Con-
gress, called into early session, do some
thing to restore popular confidence in
the outstanding Liberty bonds. There
is good ground for his fear that the
rickety values of the Liberty bonds will
endanger the success Of the Victory
Loan. There are twenty million or more
American citizens who went into the
Liberty bonds to the limit of their fl
nancial ability. They put their savings
into them. They pledged part of their
future earnings to go into them. They
borrowed from the banks to be able to
subscribe for them. They borrowed
from the firms by which they were EN-
ployed. And now some of the collateral
behind their loans the Liberty bonds
themselves has shrunk in value as
much as 81 per cent For any first
class security such drop in times of
peace would be disturbing. When it is
a bond of the United States govern
ment the collapse is shocking

February 5, 1919.
Dear Friend Mrs White
Well here | am after short hike of
about forty-eight miles through the
snow on our way TO relieve Co. A.
We started Sunday morning, road
till 5 p. m. on the train, then started
out and walked until 200 a. M, slept
until about $3.50, then started out and
walked until about 4:30, rested until
600 a. m. and walked until 200 p. m.
yesterday. Had lunch then walked
here, arriving about 600 p. M, with an
all-day rest today. We start tomorrow
on our trip again and have about five
more days of hiking before we get to
our new quarters.
Heard about two weeks ago that we
would be taken out of here about June,
which sure was welcome news as every
body is getting rather tired of this
monotonous country.
If you write please enclose Paddy s
address, as haven't received any mai
for over two months and do not know
it. Don't expect to receive much more
mail and don't suppose we will be able
to send much, as connections will be
pretty poor from now on.
Will close with best regards to every.
body.

Altogether, six weeks time is none too

propriety of tightening his belt and
buckling down to real work when he
gets this demnition total Of the entire
Joy Ride before him.
AS to what this total will be there is
nothing certain save that it will pe a

--copious no doubt--each and every
one of the professors and experts and

German staff learned that the Ameri-

sources into the scales with the allies,

That mighty preparation Of which
the above is but a fragmentary tale, is
the reason why the Victory Liberty
