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 greater
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 better educated as
to government bond issues and
government finances in general,
it is reasonable 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 dol
lars augurs well for the success
of the next loan. There are
several million more investors in
government bonds in America
than there were a month ago.
Then there were some three hun
dred 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.

excessive heat had well nigh got
their goat.
We could tell a fishing story a

This is one time we are going to
