EUROPE'S MAP IS
VASTLY CHANGED
KINGS DETHRONED AND EMPER
ORS ABDICATE, MAKING WAY
FOR RULE BY PEOPLE.
VICTORY LOAN’S PART
Previous Loans Had Important PaH
In Winning the War, But This
Loan Must Be Floated.
If you will take a look at the map
of Europe and recall the things, that
have been happening in the last four
years you will see at a glance that two
thirds of the European Old World has
been overturned in a governmental
sense.
"There are many vacancies in the old
lists of kings. The Russian nobility
has been wiped out. It has disap
peared from the Almanac da Gotha,
the Red Book of'Royalty.
A Kaiser is gone in Gei'many, a
dozen kings in the German states, the
rulers of Rumania, of Bulgaria and of
Greece. There may be others who
will follow' for there is a strange and
new spirit abroad in the world, a new
and yet a very old spirit.
In Europe there are some hundreds
of millions of people, freedom crazed.
Every man of them is, individually,
wanting a personal hand in the mak
ing of new laws. A million sound and
crazy theories of government are be
ing jumbled together.
There is not the slightest objection
to their forming such governments as
they want. They can reorganize along
their own lines. There are no fetters
on them. They are free to set up such
democratic governments as they want.
Doubtless there would be little objec
tion to certain states going back to
the monarchial form if the people
thought that best.
Right now the Allied nations have a
alow and w'earisome job. The tedious
task of impressing the points of this
new' deal on the people who are com
ing into control in the chaotic em
pires. In brief, the Germanic idea
must be stamped out and uprooted.
If it is not done, we may have to
fight this wTar all over again in fifty
years. Therefore we Americans are
staying till the end and doing our
best to see that there is a new' and a
fair and square deal. All of which is
costing us money, but it is a mighty
good w ay to pay our peace insurance
premiums.
Therefore there is a call for an
other Liberty Ixmn subscription. Do
not get the idea that it is not as im
portant as the others were. Our sol
diers are still standing along the
picket line of civilization.
Those -other Liberty loans were
training loans, and transportation
loans and fighting loans, but this one
is the reorganization, the rehabilita
tion and reconstruction, the reclama
tion, peace and rescue loan. And
don’t let any one te’l you that it is
the least important of all the loans
that have been offered.
We want the world to start vout
again with a fair chance. We hope
to see a good many time honored
abuses wiped out forever. We want
to see the Prussian spirit tamed and
the German spirit in general wreak
^ned till it w'ill never again menace
the earth. And because of these
wishes and hopes wre are not turning
our back on Europe. We want to feel
safe when It is all over and the treaty
signed, sep’r-d and delivered. _
to tb» VERY LAST
LIBERTY
LOAN
We’ve been with our boys since the very first—since that day,
two Aprils ago, when the Kaiser’s throne commenced to totter.
Shall we forsake them now when, wounded and homesick, they need
us most? •
Shall we abandon them, or shall we stay with them by buying Victory
Liberty Bonds?
W£ll, then, buy to your full limit.

BUSINESS MAN HAS
NOTHING TO FEUD IN
I PRESENT CONDITION
Readjustment Period Will Be Passed
When Victory Loan Is
Floated.
Mr. Business Man, do not be afraid
when the fifth and final Liberty Loan
campaign begins on April 21. Do your
patriotic duty and your business duty
to yourself. Support the loan with
your money and your work. Back
; up the boys who have r*iade peace a
j ieality instead of a possibility.
We are beginning to pass, through
the brief period of readjustment. Do
not let temporary conditions influence
your participation in the Victory Lib
erty Loan. The nation, by April 21,
will have passed the crisis in thfc
great readjustment necessary to put
the country back on a peace basis.
Instead of going Into the Victory
Liberty Loan as you Save done in tfie
previous loans with the prospect of
higher prices and greater difficulty in
i doing business confronting you, you
| will be doing your share to pay for the
1 victory won, with the prospect of be1’
j ter business conditions. No one need
fear to make a large inirial paymen’
j on bond purchases.
By helping the government tak«
ca're of our wounded, bring home our
I boys from across the water, maintan
j what forces we must keep overseas,
: and pay our national war debt, you
1 help yourself. The Victory Liberty
Notes (short-term notes) probably wi
be the best of all. They will bear a»
j ai tractive rate of interest and W1
be for a short term of years.
Remember the Boys.
j If you appreciate the victory tba.
i our boys in khaki and blue have won
j In order that you may enjoy the Peaj\
that is now ours, subscribe to y°
1 limit in the Victory Liberty Loan,
j Make this, the fifth and last Li e ■
I Loan, the biggest success of a11
I erty Loans. The nation needs y
i money now to “finish the Job.
