KHAKI SOLDIERS '
HO NOT LET IIP'
And the Nation Will Show
That It Stands Behind Them
in the Victory Liberty Loan
Drive.
? St
More than a million of Uncle Sam's hi
boys are; "over there" looking after a]
the common good of the world. And
thpy will have to stay upon the job "
until it is done; until things are right- pi
ed again; until order is brought out al
of chaos. ' - i,|
While they are overseas they must m
be taken care of adequately; they
must be clothedl and ted and lodged "
comfortably. Uncle Sam estimates fc
that it costs $423^27 a year to equip
and maintain a soldier in Europe. cc
Part of the proceeds from the com- re
ing Victory Liberty Loan will be devoted
to caring for the "doughboys." 01
Jfart oi it wm< go into tee renaDinta- ia
tlon fund for putting the injured sol: m
diers back upon their feet. Part of ,
it will go for insurance claims. The i
rest of it will go to meet the hundred ac
x and one other demands for this great- fii
est of world emergencies siace the jn
dawn of civilization.
/ co
Every mother's son of them did his
part, helped insure 'iberty and justice c*
for the world at large and restore Vl1
Uncle Sam ?to his rightful position^.in
tho estimation of the nations of
earth. th
They did their duty fully, these boys
who won. T$iey fought to "the end. en
\ through fire and flood. They never wi
talked about letting up. ei"
This is no time for' Americans to
think of "letting up. The nation must

Paris, March 14.?Brigadier Genal
George H. Harries, commander '
American military force at
?rlin, has been here for several days
appear before the Supreme War
mricil to render a report on thej
ilitary and economic situation, at
e German capital and throughout
jrmany. General Harries has given
dramatic recital of events in Berlin
iring the past three months, culmiiting
in the serious street fighting
the last fortnight.
,When the American party left Ber1
the government forces under Gusye
Noske, the, German war minisr,
had the upperhand and, in Genal
Harrijes' opinion, the government
ill control the situation, particularif
food is sent to aid in holding
ick the Bolshevik nienace from the'
istern border.
Part of the American forces in
ermany are stationed at 20. camps
; various places in Germany, where
)0,000 Russian prisoners are being
ired for by the Americans. The
:adquarters in Berlin are on the se.
*
>nd floor of the Hotel Adlon, in the
:art of the city, where much fightig
has been going on. During the
irly stages of the fighting, General
afries had a narrow escape. He was
anding in a window of the Ameriin
headquarters watching a clash
jtween opposing factions when a
liper's bpllet grazed his breast and
iiried iWelf in a window casing by
is side. j
During, the more recent disorders
t Berlin the electric lights have been

extinguished .street cars stopped,
telegraph and telephone wires cut,
newspaper presses left idle, and
stores closed, yet the public, according
to General Harries, shows little
evidence of panic. The streets have
been crowded with people, including
women and children, but the military
forces have kept the crowds constantly
moving. ; The rattle of rifle and
machine guns echoes throughout the
city both^-day and night, but the
Spartacan bands have been gradually
driven back and have lost control of
strategic centers.
Thousands of Russian prisoners,
General Harries says, are clamoring
to return home, but this would pre-'
sent a serious problem, as it would
mean the sending of 600,000 Russians,
into the hands of the Bolshe-,
viki. ? ,' : '.

Million Bond Buyers
Take Billions In Short Periods.
? ,
Pessimists who shake their heads
and join the chorus of "I dunno" boys
it the prospect of floating a fifth Liberty
Loan in April are administered a
fcnock-out by figures which have recently
been compiled' by officials of
the Treasury Department at, Washington.
The figures give an idea of Just
low big an appetite ior stuts mveswiBui
this country has attained in Its war*
rear. Some of the more striking of
the figures referred to follow: .
A bond market Which had less than
{00,000 customers two years ago had
it the dose of 1918 between 20,000,
)00 and 25,000,000 buyers. The army
it buyers absorbed $11,156,565,850
irorth (>f bonds in Liberty Bonds alone ,
it 1918.
la the two years of ifie war?count- ;
ng the first ahd second Liberty
[x>ans which were floated in 1917?
ifaese bond buyers digested a total of
116,974,$29,850 In Liberty bonds.
ThiB healthy condition of the bond
market i? 'explained, -ferhaps, by the
Fact that the entire indebtedness of
the United BUte* today amounts to
slightly less than 7 per cent of the
wtimated national wealth. The national
debt amounts to only about
|170 per capita. .
Some of the national debts are:
Great Britain, 44.3 per cent cent, of
?Mini n* 1360 tier canlta: I
UatIVU?M WWW* v. .m ,r
France, 41.25 p?r cent of national
wealth or $296.90 per capita; Austria,
84.66 per cent of national wealth or
$242.90 per capita ;and Germany, 38.7
per cent of national wealth or $505.90
per capita. ?,
These figures on Germany are exclusive
of the ninth war loan, accurate
returns of which never were had,
and in the cases of both Austria and
Germany no account is taken of any
indemnities which those nations will
have to pay.
