VICTORY I
: NOT 10 LOWER
E OF VICTORY
By FRANKLIN K. LANE, Secretary of the Interior
IN PAR VALUE
New Issua H?.s Special Appeal
to All Investors,
Says Expert.
"Capitalists, ao well as the small in
Tester, may purchase the new Victory
Loan uc'es with the fullest assurance
that they will hold in tie market close
to ;!:e issue price," declared G. K.
Wee!-:;;. Victory Loan catn;.algn man
ager fir the Twelfth District, today
in calling attention to the strong ai
peal the Victory notes make to invest
or? strictly from an Investment stand
point He continued:
"It hau, of course, been a source of
disappointment to subscribers for pre
vious Liberty Loan issues that thfse
issues have gone, even lerjporariiy, to
a ilis'iHiiu of five or six points in the
market.
"While this does not represent v. . ;!
loss to those who have heid Iheir !i:.,i:!s
for Investment, it is rrasT'itts r. r.'.y
ecribers for Victory in:" ' : .
discount hj possible in
present if.ue.
' "O;s:ourrt Impos. -i-:."
"A decline of the Victor.. ,n notes
of or,!y cop point, to 1'!) for example,
was! 1 pm them on an interest return
at i.:C'i. Uvea during 'he war, with
the ! rop'.: r.f cmiOmieil lsr?i issiies,

"ELoulr! the VI. ton? Loan 3

fully tsx-e::'nipt note, wjiirb would be
stjnivalpTjt 'o 91 for the Liberty Loan
which no'i are in ai-tive nemand
ia the mar'rei Rt 95."
Wl at is Victory worth? What would we have given this time last year
to have been assured of Victory? What pledse would we have not made? And
now that our men have won will we hesitate to pay the bill? They paid, those
boys of the Araonne, in blood and life. They will pay, many of them, through
all their long lives in suffering and in weakness, "very soldier that we see is
a challenge to oar hearts and to our pockets. They will not be a reproof. Their
eyes will never say that we are, what they never were, quitters. We, too, can
carry on. Generous they were and generous we will he. Our pride we will
prove by thanksgiving, not in words but in dollars loaned to Uncle Sam to pay
for bringing the Ifoys hack, for the guns that were never used, for the ships
that were not sunk, for the care of the men who did not die, 'or the rebuilding
of the men who almost "went West."
All the wise men said it will be the fall of 'IS before the Kaiser will be
driven into his own country. Our money would have gone throughout the year
to make that hope good. But the Hun was driven hack. Me lost heart and
cried "Kameradl" a year before the promised time. And the Kaiser fled, a
fugitive from a beaten nation and so short a time since he had been in part
nership with "Gptt"! How many Victory Bonds was it wth to hear th t
news? Victory is not ours until we have earned it. paid for it and got the
receipt in the peace tioaty, with a guarantee that ve shall hold what we have
won the rif' ' o live in psree. Your Liberty Bond paid for the gun lhat
drove h:r- :.:..( t :i!e. And your Victory Bond will mcke sure that he will not
coino hark.

it now!"
"I myself have invested in ths

buying them. The patriotic reason is
enough. But, in addition, there is of

OLDHERM!TJ!M'S
LAS! Ill
No one ever knew where Hermit
Jim Hudson came from. None knew
his story.
tine day he was discovered in a
little shack built of refuse '.umber
from the dump down by the river.
And there he lived for forty years.
In summer he fished, worked a little,
but never talked of himself. In
winter ho hibernated, so to speak.
, He was a. big, up-standing two
tisted fellow, capable of much, but
utterly indifferent to all about him.
He was an enigma, a mystery, a town
character.
As the years passed Hermit Jim
lost his robustness of figure and what
remained of his ambition to work.
Finally, at seventy, -the sheriff took
him In charge and carted him off to
the poor farm. Horniit Jim was a
mere skeleton, his clothes in tatters,
and his feet bound In burlap in plac.
of shoes. His cupboard was almost
as hare as Mother Hubbard's, yet
right there he voiced the only com
plaint he had ever been known to
make. His shack was his castle, he
declared, and shuuld be respected.
Finally, however, he capitulated
but not without protest. "I'm not
objecting to having more to eat or a
better bed Sheriff" he conceded. In
English quite out of keeping w ith his
condition, "but I don't like the
prospective finish. It's a poor climax
to my early training and ambitions."
Then, despite the sheriff's efforts to
draw him out, he became u clam
again.
Only once more he discussed his
case. They were then in sight of the
poor house. "My life has been a
failure Sheriff," he declared, staring
blankly ahead. "Why, doesn't par
ticularly matter. I've been captain
of my soul for sixty years, but a poor
pilot, maybe," he chuckled mirth
lessly. "I had a better start than
most men, but things broke wrong,
I lost ambition, interest in life, care
fcr the future and regard for respect
ability. I've been a lono wolf."
Suddenly he straightened and his
eyes flashed with a r.tw light. "God,
Sheriff, how I might have died had
t)iis war come half a century earlier!
Maybe in a fight with a birdman
three miles in the air! Maybe coins
over the top in the gray of the
morning! Maybe hand to hand with
my fingers digging into a Boche's
throat! And maybe far behind the
firing line from a biff on the head
from a bit of shrapnel! But anyway,
any time, anywhere, gloriously! For
humanity! Democracy! Liberty!
What a death, Sheriff; what a
death!"
"Jim", said the sheriff, with a now,
strange softness in his voice, "I've
been told that you bought a thousand
dollar Liberty Bond last October.
Ue never believed ft. But, old
fellow, somehow now I do. Did you?"
Hermit Jim chuckled. This time
it echoed the glee of the thrusli. sing
ing in the haw bush by the roadside.
"Yes, Sheriff, I bought it. And
this morning, knowing that you were
coming after me, I used it in kind
ling the lire to conk my breakfast. I
reckoned I probably would stay here
the rest of my life.
"It was the only way 1 could do
my bit toward finishing the job."

TO THE WOUNDED SOLDIERS OF THE AMERICAN ARMY
I The White House,
j I could tell you what the sacrifices you have made have meant to the
' world. I could tell you what history for all time to come will say of you and
j of the sufferings you have experienced on your great crusade. But thea
things other men will tell you.
I prefer to remind you that the wounds you bear are tne noblest badges of
honor any man has ever worn; that they exalt you to a supreme place In the
minds and hearts of your countrymen and of all the world. I . refer to assure
i you that America realizes that she has no more sol imn obligation, no more
j patriotic duty than to express in practical terms the gratitude that every
j American man, woman and child feels for every one of you. America will
I not forget.
