LANE, Secretary of the Interior What is Victory worth? What would we have given this time last vear to have been assured of Victory’ What pledge would we have not made? And now that our men have won will we hesitate to pay the bill? They paid, those os of the Argonne, In blood and life. They will pay, many of them, through a their long lives in suffering and In weakness, "very soldier that we see Is a challenge to our hearts and to our pockets. They will not be a reproof.

Victory is not ours until we have earned It, paid for it and got the receipt in the peace treaty, with a guarantee that we shall hold what we have won the right to live In peace. Your Liberty Bond paid for the gun that drove him into exile. And your Victory Bond will make sure that he will not come back.
