Much of the money here tofore obtained by the government through the sale of Liberty Bonds to Its citizens has been expended In the preparation of war. Now our resources and our savings must bs devoted to a considerable ex tant In providing for the safety, comfort and assistance of our heroes on European battlefields. Three thousand miles of ocean In tervene and this long lane must be made safe for our soldiers. Ships we must have In aver Increasing numbers. Without tonnage the full measure of our elaborate and m ili tary relief organizations must re main inoperative. Without money we cannot build ths ships; without tha ships we cannot win the war. W ith sadness we anticipate the re turn of thousands of our soldiers wounded and crippled who must be rehabilitated or m a d e capable through vocational education for self support. General hospitals In which physical reconstruction work and vocational training can be un dertaken m u s t be constructed. This requires money. A great army is going forward to face the fire of battle and American dollars will be forthcoming for their wel fare if we all perform our duty and buy liberally of these Liberty Bonds. CHAS. L.
