Worth Paying For
A year AGO today American boys

A year ago today American boys ii
Francs were fighting the battles OF
America an dfreedom, fighting our
battles. pouring out their blood and
sacrificing their flesh as a living wall
between the menace Of the Hun and
our peace and prosperity and future
happiness here in the United States.
There were dropping BY thousands
under whitening enemy fire, but al
ways going on. There was no ques
ton then as TO swhether or not we
were willing to pay for this suffering
and death, for this yicarious sacrifice,
to furnish the sineWs Of war for this
protection to dig up our paltry dollars
while they were giving their lives
1t was unthinkabIe then that my
American would hesitate to pay for
his substitute" For they were in fact
substitutes for all Of lis who stayed
at home.
The thing isn't changed now be-.
cause we are asked to pay the last Of
the bill. Our duty is just as plain
and just as imperative and Just ais
American, as If those boys were -stil
falling in windrowe under machine
gun fire. He who hesitates now
stands in the same light as he who
hesitated then to pay the Price OF
Peace. They won victory, we must
pay for it. They gave their lives, we
must still give our dollars; and as a
matter of fact we are not even giving
our dollars; we are merely loaning
them. We are not even asked to con
tribute; we are asked merely to in
If 1t was worth fighting for, it is
worth paying for. If we were for our
doughboys then we must be for them
II they were worth sending over
there to fight for us and win our
war they are worth bringing back
and immense transports aren't run
for nothing. II we we're for the
war then we are for 1t now: il Amer
leans then Americans now: and we
can not scorn their gallant service by
that 1t isn't worth the price.
The Victory Loan should go over
quickly, now that the war Is
over, than did the Liberty Loans
while the Boys we're fighting. Slack
efism now carries worse odium than
in the days when 1t was in the lime
light. We, must pay, we must pay
promptly and willingly and 90 over
the top with the same high patriotic
as of yore.

no letters on his shank in his

The announcement Of the terms Of
the Victory loan came as a gust OF
fresh air through an overheated room
Financiefs and loan managers inhal
ed a deep draught and took new
courage. What had looked like a task
to be surrounded only after travail
was f~oreshorted in the twinkling Of q
telegraph tick, says the Los Angeles
Times, which continues:
In the first place the reduction OF
the loan by q billion and a half dol
lars from the amount which Wash
ington has permitted the country to
believe would be asked was decidedly
soothing; and the terms upon which
the government will borrow the $4,-
SOC, 100000 from the people are such
that local financial experts said yes;
terday they anticipated a ready and
eager absorption Of the entire issue
well within the time limit.
Four and three-quarters per cent
government bonds maturing in four
years and exempt from state and To-
cal taxation, expecting state and in
heritance taxes and from normal
rates OF federal income taxes, and
8 SO per cent notes exempt from all
local. state and federal faxes, except
state and inheritance taxes, puts the
issue well towards the place Los
Angeles bankers had hoped It would
occupy; on a sound investment basis
regardless of patriotic impulses or
emotional appeal.
The terms are a long step in the
right direction and the amount asked
OF us Americans to square u ac-
counts will be forthcoming promptly
and in full. The public is in a good
humor. We were all braced for a $6,-
000,000,000 touch and we are left Off
with three quarters Of the amount
Most of us expected a 4 IL per cent
offer and We get 4 3-4. The public
made no doubt that the government
would take every dollar that was
subscribed, and now we are told that
no oversubscription will be received
Just what brought the more favor
able terms has not been divnlged but
whatever the causes were, they must
have been of an encouraging charac-
ter. The business Of the government
is not conducted as ordinary business
is conducted. The treasury depart
ment. at least up to very recently, did
not know what would be required OF
it In the way Of meeting war contrac-
tual obligations. Other departments
were possessed Of authority to draw
against the treasury up to a fixed
maximum, and no II knew just what
proportion of this maximum would he
consumed. 1t is probably because of a
more rapid decline in national spend
ing and larger receipts from income
taxes that it was possible to shave
the Victory loan.

1 wenty Lives Lost =
AS Schooner Sinks
Gallia Goes Down In Collision With
British, Steamer War Witch
Near st. Pierre
WAS RETURNING FROM FRANCE

Halifax, N. S.-nwenty persons are
believed to have lost their lives when
the schooner Gallia was sunk Thurs
day night in a collision with the Brit.
ish steamer War Witch. The schooner
Is reported to have carried a crew Of
at least fifteen and possibly a dozen
passengers, and only seven survivors
are named in wireless messages from
the steamer. The collision occurred
close to st. Pierre and is supposed to
have been caused by the heavy fog.
Captain w. B. Bennett, of the War
Witch, reported by wireless that his
vessel had c0llided with the three
masted schooner Gallia. The message
gave the names of seven persons as
saved. These were presumably from
the schooner.
The War Witch was bound from
North Sydey from Wabana, N. f.,
while the Gallia was on her way to
st. Pierre from France. News of the
catastrophe reached here in wireless
messages to the agents of the War
Witch
