The United States government
asked a loan from the people of the
country of 16,000,000,000, an

fluent which prevented public
meeting and cost the people many
million of dollar In medical bills
and lost time, and In spite, too. of
the peace rumors that In some In
stance had a tendency to make the
success of the loan seem lea vital,
ome 21,000,000 of the American
people offorcd to the government
16,866.416,300. Each Federal Re

quota. Thousands of cities, towns,
and communities oversubscribed

making. The people at home have
given loyal support to our tjghtlng
men.
Our soldier are holding every
acre of ground they take. Let the
