MYTH guns blazing and a prayer in
w his stout heart this American fighter
is hell-bent on destruction of our enemies.
HE is not thinking of how little or how
much he's doing to help win the war. For
him, the chips are down; but his fighting
spirit is as high as the heavens from which
his plane is diving.
In cramped foxholes and disease-infested
jungles, on sun-scorched beachheads-
under and over the seven seas-other
Americans are matching his courage. And
their name is legion. They KNOW that

The number of weddings increases
as the month of June advances, and
yesterday there were scores Of nup-
tials in Washington and in other
cities in which Capital residents
were the brides or bridegrooms or

There will be an Allied Nations
booth stated by representatives of
the different Allied nations at the
Statler Hotel, and on the Monu-
ment Grounds, where there is to
be show of captured equipment
and all sorts of other interesting
sights, there will be four booths. AS
usual the theaters will have booths
stated by volunteers every hour
that they are open.
In order that these women who
volunteer to sell bonds should know
something about them there is a
regular course of training given
them under the direction of Mrs.
Howard Leroy before they go into
action.
I'm the last analysis, women want
to know definitely what they are
doing" said Miss Harriet Elliott,
chief of the women's section. They
want to pull together in greater
unity, not in mans program, not
in woman's program, but In a
citizens program in what we call a
peoples war!"
1t is indeed a peoples war. There
is scarcely anyone today who is
not either actively engaged in fight
ing this war or hasn't some loved
one who is. No matter what sacri-
flee we make there can be none SO
great as the youths of America who
are giving their lives fighting for
us. We cannot let them down. We
must meet, gladly and willingly
that $4,000, 100000 goal for the
Fifth War Loan Drive. That is
something that we stay-at-homes
Il can do. And we will!

The Fifth War Loan drive begins
tomorrow. A drive which should be
the greatest of all, and which every
ight-thinking man and woman will
want to help make the greatest OF
all. To those of us who stay at home
falls the job of financing the war.
"A fight" says MIR. Ted r. Gamble,
national director of the war finance
division, that must parallel the
'bloodier fights that are a preface
to victory"
The success of the war loan
drives has been due largely to the
volunteer work of the women OF
America. The success of the Fifth
War Loan drive will be due largely
to women, too Certainly there never
has been a time in the history Of
: our country when giving has meant
SO much. Giving dollars and cents
is a very small thing compared to
what our fighting men are giving in
blood and pain and life, but it is
the most that some of us at home
can do.

day proposed steps to guarantee a
closer coordination of the business
cycle policies of all the principal
industrial nations"
THE possibility of such co-ordi-
nation" he told group of econo-
mists today at the Brookings In
stitution," rests upon a frank recog-
milton of the principle that the
modern interdependent world must
do business with ITSELF"

recognize the need for international
exchange stability just because every

that particular nation has I'LL
terror motives whenever its spokes-

ticular proposal" DR.. Taylor de-
clared.
