FIR DIFFERENT IK
WHAT IS MERE $4,500,000,000 COM
PARED TO DEFEAT BY
GERMANY?
NO TIME FOR WHINING
Suppose That Von Hindenburg Had
Dictated the Peace
Terms.
When the new Year's Day of 1913
rolled around the United States of
America had put something like $25.
000,000,000 iDto war expenses. By
that same token the kaiser had long
since ceased to rule in Berlin and
his armies were streaming back into
Germany.
The allies, the whole entente and as
eoclated nations, had spent about
$125,000,000,000 at that time. Of
course, the human imagination simply
staggers whefl it tries to “take in"
just what such an amount of money
means.
But the winning was worth the
price. Suppose that we do a little
supposing to make that clear? Sup
pose that instead of General Foch dic
tating the terms they had been die
tated by Von Hindenburg? Suppose
that instead of American, French and
English troops occupying the Rhine
cities, the spiked helmets were occu
pying London, Paris, New York and
Washington in order to guarantee com
pliance with the German terms.
That $125,000,000,000 looks like pin
money compared with what the Ger
man would have saddled on us in the
way of indemnities, forced levies and
Contributions seizures of raw mate
rials and straight looting. The man
who whines about another Liberty
Loan would have had something to
whine about if Hindenburg had bested
Foch.
We don’t know the meaning of hu
iniliation and servitude in this coun
try, but we would have learned had
we not bought this victory with blood
and gold. Suppose we are in debt
for part of it? Suppose we do have to
raise another $4,500,000,000 loan? It
is both a "Victory Loan” and a "Lib
erty Loan" isn’t it?
We have won the victory. It is up
to us to clinch it. To benefit human
ity to the utmost, billions more may
be needed for the cleanup, for the
mopping up of the waste and ruin that
now covers so much of the world.
We w^nt into this thing with tho
moral pledge that we would see it
through, that we wrnuld stick it out.
All the patriotism in the soul of Amer
ica insists that It be done, that our
pledge be kept. We are under as sol
emn an obligation to go on with tho
Job as ever a free people assumed. Ac
cording to the way we keep that obli
gation, will we be Judged away down
In the future.
And that means, in the last analysis,
that every American must do his in
dividual share in taking care of the
Fifth Loan. After all, it is a personal
matter.
ITALY’S SAVING METHODS
Installment Plan Is Adopted to
Encourage War Loan
Support.
The humble citizen of Italy insists
upon doing his part to help his coun
try carry her war and post-war finan
cial burdens. There are no Thrift
Stamps nor War Havings Stamps in
Italy, and there are hundreds of ths is
nnd.s of patriotic Italians who never
have more than a dollar or two at
one time to offer their government.
But in Italy, just as in all the other
belligerent nations, a way has been
provided to tike advantage of the
I invaluable assistance which the small
, investor can give the nation both in
war and in peace. The Italian govern
ment has arranged to sell war bonds
through the banks on the club plan.
A workman or small farmer goes to
a bank and makes a small deposit and
asks that a 100 lira ($20) war bond
be purchased for him. He then com
pletes the payment for his bond at
the rate of 7 lira ($1 40) per month.
He may secure a 500 lira bond by
monthly payments of 35 lira ($7).
Though they have different methods
of collecting the contributions of that
large proportion of their citizens who
are unable to accumulate $100 or even
$20 at one time, it will be found that
everyone of the belligerent nations has
found it absolutely essential to make
some arrangenunts for securing tin
support of the small investor.
