IT IS upon the treasury of the
United States that eveiy de

because everything goes back to.
the gold pile.
Every dollar that is paid to a
soldier, every pair of shoes he
puts on his feet every piece of
clothing he wears, every gun he
carries, every cartridge he fires,
every 1 8 inch shell that is hurled
from the monster guns of our
battleships, and every shovelful of
coal that is consumed in their
boilers everything that touches
this -war and involves a govern
ment expendituredepends upon
the money in the United States
treasury.
Th problem of the American
treasury is the problem of the
American people; it is the prob
lem of keeping the treasury sup
plied with the means to carry for
ward the great business of the na
tion under the direction of the
commander in chief of the army
and navy of the United States,
your president, whose glorious
stand for America's honor and
America's rights, justice, civiliza
tion, and democracy have made
him one of the greatest of the
world's outstanding figures.
The - problem is twofold: To
supply, essential credits to the al

vital to our cause that their
strength and credit shall be sus
tained; 'and, secondly, to meet
our own requirements.

The -exact time of sending out this

others of the military unfit.
Class 1 would be called first; class

Appeals from the classifications can
be taken.
Only 20 forms will be needed in
