Subscription Will Help Pay
for Saving' of Hundreds of
Thousands of "Doughboys"
One of the features of the coming
Victory Liberty Loan la that f will.
In part, pay the cost of saving the
Urea of more than 500,000 Yanks and
thousands of our allies, according to
Lewis B. Franklin, Director of the U.
S. War Loon Organization.
"The . speed and bravery , of the
American doughboy affected the Ger
mans -on the front line more than It
LEWIS B. FRANKLIN
War Lean Director,
did the men at Gorman general head
quarters," states Mr. Franklin, "but
the fact that America waa preparing
for a drive on Berlin struck terror to
the general staff.
''And those millions and billions of
dollars spent were far from being
wasted in an unnecessary preparation.
I feel that the fact that money was
spent and that an enormous output of
munitions was ready was the control
ling factor In the weakening of the
German general staff, and that It caus
ed their message to the kaiser that
they were beaten and that he must
sue for peace. And the way I see it
la that this money, Instead of being
wasted, can be written down as hav
ing saved the lives of hundred of
thousands of American men who
would have been sacrificed had the
war continued another year,
"That Is the. money we are going
to ask tha American people tor In the
Liberty Loan. We are going to ask
them for the money to bring our boys
home safe and sound,. Instead of leav
ing them burled In France. And
when the people of America nalise
what this money did, we are not go
ing to And that they are lacking la
patriotism to 'come acroae' . ;

He points out that people who are

office' and receive cash. Mr. Glass
urges holders to keep their stamps
until maturity.
He states that War SavinRS Stamps
belong only to the individual who first
purchased them and that people who
offer to buy stamps at low premium
are vlolatlns the letter of the luw In
so doing. Men and women selling
stamps are not only losing money
which rightfully belongs to them, but
are aiding unscrupulous agents to
reap profits.

1 NOT LEI UP
And the Nation Will Show
That It Stands Behind Them
in the Victory Liberty Loan
Drive.
More than a million of Tnrle Sam's
boys aro "over there" looking aftor
the common good of the world. And
they will have to stay upon the Joli
until it is done; until things ere rig.it
ed ngain; until ord'T Isbrought out
of chaos.
Willi" 'they are overseas tliey must
be taken caro of adequately; they
must be clothed and fed and lodged
comfortably. Uncle Sam estimate
that 11 costs (423.2? a year to equip
and maintain a soldier In Europe.
Part of the proceeds from the com
ing Victory Liberty Loan will be do
voted to caring for the "doughboys."
l'art of it will go into the rehabilita
tion fund for putting the injured sol
diers back upon their feet. Part of
it will go for insurance claims. The
rest of It will go to meet the hundred
and one other demands for this great
est' of world emergencies since the
dawn of civilisation.
Every mother's son of them did his
part, helped insure liberty and justice
for the world at large and restore
Uncle Sam to his rightful position In
th: estimation of the nations of
earth. .
They did their duty fully, these boys
who won. They fought to the end.
through fire and flood. They never
talked about letting up.
This is no time for Americans to
think of lotting up. The nation must
stand by fts guns, by Its records; by
Uncle Sam and must make the next
loan another big success.
