SELLING 4 BOND
BLOCKS PEACE
Each Holder Who Drops His
Liberty Loan Sets Up a New
Obstacle to the Government.

Liberty Bonds, the bonds of the
famous because of the way in which
they won the war for rs, are today
most important in what they will do
toward establishing peace.
They stand as great monument of
the support given by the people to the
Government in time of a crisis.
Everyone who shares in the building
OF this monument should do his best
to keep it unimpaired, unmarried, the
tower of strength to the nation. 1t is
injured when a bond holder sells his
liberty bond for slight or negative
reason.
The Government has kept faith on
the bonds with the people. 1t was
stated that there should be an op-
portunity to dispose of bonds if it was
absolutely necessary for holders to
get the money, and an open market
on the stock exchanges has been main
tanned for this purpose.
1t was possible that the Government
might have followed the example of
Canada and directed that the market
should be closed, that bonds once
bought must be kept until they were
due.
There was no contract to supply
market, but the promise was implied
in the offerings and the faith has been
kept.
To sell Liberty Bond, except in an
urgency, is not meeting the Govern
ment squarely
Each time bond was sold 1t made
1t harder to finance the war. Each
time a bond is sold now it sets up one
more obstacle in meeting the obliga-
lions growing out of peace.
Each time a bond is sold now, ex-
cept In urgency, its seller disregards
the financial history of war bonds for
three centuries. In all this time, with
the coming Of peace they have surely,
steadily, advanced, yielding substan-
tial premium to those who kept them
and each holder has made substantial
profits on his investment.

UNCLE SAM PAYS
FINAL WAR BILL
Seven Great Items That Must Be
Settled for Peace VIII Be Met
by The Fifth Liberty Loan.

The Fifth Liberty Loan will be
called the VICTORIOUS FIFTH, be-
cause, when it has been foated the
people of the country will be celebrat-
ing the victorious peace.
The Fifth Loan will come about mid
April, or just two years after the date
upon which we entered the war 1t will
be more Of a peace loan than a war
loan. 1t will be loan to make the final
settlement, squaring up the bill for
the war while the celebration Of the
victory is still going on and the men
are streaming back from France by
hundreds Of thousands
A total of from FIVE to six billions
will probably be offered. What the
money is needed for and why it Is
needed is worth putting compactly
together. 1t brings to mind at glance
what is demanded still by the great
tasks imposed by peace.
These are some of the chief items:-
/. Care for the American soldiers
In the Army of Occupation.
2. Providing for the second army
IN the area DenlnQ inc zone OF OcCu-
patton.
3. Bringing home soldiers who have
been released from war duties.
4. Demobilizing millions of men up
on their arrival here.
5. Keeping up the cantonments and
hospitals In this country.
s, Re-habilitating and re-educating
men who have been wounded.
T. Reconstruction work for the SOL
diers and sailors.
Every one of the millions of mon
represented on this list have shared in
doing the nations work abroad.
Any American who stands by the
country will not fail to see now that
the peace debt is paid for the mon
who have won peace.

THE new LOAN
FOR LIBERTY WON
The Victorious Fifth" Will Find
Enormous Tasks That Call
for Its Dollars.

The Fifth Liberty Loan which the
people of the country will be asked
In April to make to the Government,
will be loan of the future.
Four great loans have fought for
Liberty. This will meet the needs of
Liberty won.
The free peoples of the world have
given to millions Of their brothers and
sisters the right of determining their
own destinies.
But for all of them remains still the
great work of reconstruction. read
justment, completion, for the estab-
nshed peace.
The responsibilities Of this new Pc
Rod are no loss great than those which
arose In tho crisis of the war itself.
It is for US of the United States
to do our part a. a nation as fully now
As we did when we struck our blow
towards saving civilization.
It still remains to see that all which
was won on the battlefield is saved
for liberty; that the stricken peoples
do not starve and that there is prompt
and useful rebuilding and restoration
in ravaged Europe.
We must bring back to their own
land and to their own homes, the mil
lions Of our men who have helped win
the great victory. They must once
more be fitted with thought and care
into our national life.
Great projects which were begun in
time Of war must be finished or re
directed.
All of these tests are part Of the
great enterprise of peace and recon
struction All Of them must be fl
nanced in the next few months before
us. To carry them out is absolutely
necessary If we are to complete ouI
share of the work which has been car
ried so far forward
Every man and every woman in the
nation, who has shared in the blessings
Of peace won by the war should pre-
pare now to share In peace loan-the
VICTORIOUS FIFTH.

BRINGS PEACE
TO the SOLDIER
The Fifth Liberty Loan Will Give
the Fighting Men What
We Enjoy Now.

The Fifth Liberty Loan. the VICTO-
RIOUS FIFTH, will go to give the
splendid soldiers and sailors Of the
United States what the people at home
have had for two months already. 1t
will bring them back to enjoy peace.
They have won it for US, at what
expense to themselves the long, long
roll of casualties has told in part, but
they are still abroad or on the way
back to us. We are welcoming those
who have come with Joy at their re-
turn and in pride for their glorious
deeds.
To care for them in these months
that intervene, to demobilize the mil
lions with due care, to give them back
to the ways OF peace at home Is the
work of the Fifth Loan.
If any men in the world have
earned for their own country the right
to return to peace pursuits, we'll
equipped and abundantly provided,
they are the American overseas forces.
Peace has its opportunities no less
than war. Those who share in the
Fifth Liberty Loan get not only an
investment, unsurpassed anywhere in
the world, but they buy the bonds
which clinch the greatest peace. They
see to it that the fighters who have
won the peace for them are denied
nothing as they return to their homes.
The soldiers were prepared for any
thing they had to face in France. The
men at home who are at peace because
of the soldiers will prepare at once to
take literally of the Fifth Liberty
Loan.

HOW AMERICANS
STAY ON THE JOB
The Victorious Fifth" Loan Will
Prove That We Garry Out a
Task, However Great.

The Fifth Liberty Loan will give the
army Of patriotic buyers the chance
which all good Americans welcome
1t will let the millions of buyers of
bonds prove that they are stayers
They will show that they are deter
mined to finish job to the very end,
even so great job as a world war.
In April or May of this year the
time comes for the last chapter. The
Government cannot for a moment drop
the great task upon which we entered !
in April, 1917, until a firm and lasting
peace is secured throughout the world
1t cannot stop until the Armies of
Occupation are brought home. Until
then the Treasury Department must
borrow from the people to finance the
expense of the war establishment At
ter that our expense will come from
taxes
The reserves at home whose dollars
have fought with the men In the field
must mobilize now for rehabilitation
of the troops. They have stood by the
nation in time of stress. The critical
period is past but the work is yet to
be completed. Completing it rests on
the VICTORIOUS FIFTH Loan.
The responsibilities OF the nation,
like its hopes, are as great as they
were before the armistice brought the
end of the war.
Staying to the end means taking up
the Fifth Loan just as Pershings men
fought through the Argonne Forest.
1t Is backing the Government to the
finish in the war loan that crystallizes
peace and prosperity.
