BUYING LIVES, ONE PURPOSE OF LOAN: Your Victory Liberty Bond Subscriptions Will Help Pay for Saving of Hundreds of 1 Thousands of "Doughboys" One of the features of the coming Victory Liberty Loan is that it will, in part, pay the cost of saving the , lives of more than 500,000 Yanks and thousands of our allies, according to Lewis B. Franklin, Director of the U. 1 8. War Loan Organization. "The speed and bravery of the ] American doughboy affected the Ger mans on the front line more than it / i LEWIS B. FRANKLIN * War Loan Director. did the men at German general head- ^ quarters," states Mr. Franklin, "but the fact that America was preparing * for a drive on Berlin struck terror to the general staff. "And those millions and billions of I dollars spent were far from being ^ wasted in an unnecessary preparation. I feel that the fact that money was c spent and that an enormous output of munitions was ready was the control- h ling factor in the weakening of the c German general staff,-and that it caused their message to the kajser that 1 they were beaten and that he must 5 sue for peace. And the way I see it r is that this money, instead of being n w9?fod pan written dcvwn as hav tog saved the lives of hundred of thousands of American men who ^ would have been sacrificed had the g war continued another year. "That is the money we are going to ask the American people for in the n Liberty Loan. We are going to ask b them for the money to bring our boys tl home safe and sound, instead of leav- g( *ig them buried in France. And when the people of America realize what this' money did, we are not go- E ing to find that they are lacking in d patriotism to 'come across.'" souolii ; i FOR YOUR BONDS: _ h It is the Weaitn 01 xnis ureai 0 Country Somewhere Near ^ Hundred and Fifty Billions of Dollars. a How many holders of "Libertys* v realize fully the security that is back of that property they own? It is the wealth of the richest na- t tion of the.earth. \ >> Here's but a glance at what that wealth comprised. With 6 per cent of the world's population and 7 per cent of the ? world's land America owns of the world supplies: ' 70 per cent of "the copper. ' 52 per cent of the coal. 20 per cent of the gold. I 66 per cent of the oil. 40 per cent of the iron and steel. rta-r r?onf of thft silvAr 1 60 per cent of the cotton. 25 per cent of the wheat. 60 per cent of the corn. 30 per cent of the meat supplies. Other mineral and agricultural pro- ' ducts in proportion. < Today Europe owes us $10,000,000,- . 000; four years ago we owed her near- . ly half that. ' Lastly our annual income, that of ' all the people and industries, is today " something like $70,000,000,000 annually and our national wealth close to 1350,000,000,000. Don't sell your government securities. They will mean more to you byand-by. vv\vvvvvvvvvvvvv w ^ W MONTEREY. ^ ^ V 4 Monterey, March 22.?Mesdame; F. H.. Bonds and F."A.
