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

The Fifth Liberty Loan will be
called the VICTORIOUS FIFTH, be-
cause, when it has been fioated 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. II 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:-
l. Care for the American soldiers
in the Army of Occupation
2. Providing for the second army
in the area behind the 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 environments and
hospitals in this country.
6. Re-habilitating and re-educating
men who have been wounded.
Z. Reconstruction work for the sol
diers and sailors.
Every one of the millions of men
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 men
who have won peace.

War Activities of Geological Survey.
The special training of the geological
survey engineers made them available
for effective war service both overseas
and in this country. The large amount
of technical data collected through the
years by the geological survey was
found to possess q value not antici-
pated, and the official machinery or
SaniZed for scientific Investigation of
the subjects within the geological sur

more intensive inquiries required as
each industrial or military need arose.
