When Ibo Ki rsl Liberty Loan cam paign was Inaugurated, the prospect of subscribing a couple of billions ot dollars for the enterprise in which our government hud engaged in Ibo work of freeing other peoples of the yoke that had boen made by ibo Prussian war lords for all other peo ples to wear, we had our misgivings as to raising this great sum. Hut it ?VUS raised. And then caine three succeeding issuer of bonds each time tho sum n little larger, ami each time the total asked being oversubscribed by a bet ter margin.

Immediately there was an explosion. Korron's ino'.or was stalled. Tho aviator was confronted with the problem of guiding his plane to earth slowly enough to avoid being ('.ashed to pieces and fast enough to pave himself from burning to death in the air.
