Yet the Ameri can people have loaned their Gov ernment that much and have barely touched their resources. The money was "raised so easily it only seemed to show the tremendous financial strength of the country. It is not one-tenth of our bank de posits. It Is less than one-eighth of our bank loans for one year. It was less than one-half of our national savings for 1916 and only Ave per cent of our national income for that year accordin'g to estimates. Not only is this first Liberty Loan Bond Issue of two million dollars much larger than the initial loans of any of the other nations engaged in the war but it was raised in much less time with much less effort and was subscribed to by a vastly larger number of individuals; this too when danger was far from us and the nation in a calm frame of mind. The coming second Issue of Liberty Loan Bonds, with the great mass of the people of the country much bet ter educated as to Government bond issues and Government finances in general, it is rasonable to suppose, will be disposed of with even greater success than the Initial issue. The over-subscription to the Initial issue of over a billion dollars augurs well for the success of the next loan. There are several million more In vestors in Government bonds in America than there were a month ago. Tiien there were some three hundred thousand holders of United States bonds; now there are over four million. And the thrill of the thought of our soldiers in France will rally the people to the nation's call. FOR 8ALF, Latest model Chal mers car; run only two months and less than 600 miles.
