' THE VICTORY LOAN.
Written by Virgil Derrick of the j
Little Mountain High School.
As the murderer secretly and,
quietly makes his plans to take his
victim secretly and unaware so did
Germany from 1870 prepare to j
strike the fatal blow at civilization, |
run rough shod by force of arms",
over the balance of the civilized j
world. For forty years she had made
this preparation, but 1914 was destined
to.be the fateful year, the year
recorded in history as the beginning
of the greatest, bloodiest and most |
uncalled for war ever known to a
human mind. She marched her Well
trained soldiers through defenseless
Belgium, destroying everything within
their pathway. Continuing this
march into France she committed un-1
heard of atrocities, murdered de
fenseles? women and children, de-!
stroyed civilian property, she still1
marched successfully on. Not being'
satisfied with these outrages she dot- j
ted the high seas" with sneaking sub-'
jnarines to destroy property of every j
description. Thus putting to tne dox;tom
of the ocean innocent women
and children and destroying private 1
property of yearly every nation up-!
on the globe. This continued for'
several years. The United States'
composed of a peaceful people, guid
ed and directed by the most fairminded
peace loving champion of1
civilizafcok, "Woodrow ^Tilson, watch-!
?d^h^r^SnfcVeinents with great in-!
tfefesfc" -But on that fateful night
when the Lusitania was sent to the
bottom of the oceian by the torpedo!
of a Gfermah submarine' President1
Wilson^ patience 'was exhausted and '
* * ? - * -t J J
lie decided to upnoia me uuuui auu l
integrity of this great country of'
ours. He called together the con-!
gress of the United States and asked !
them to avenge, the cruel death of j
their countrymen who went down
with the Lusitania. Congress met
and on the sixth of April, nineteen
hundred and seventeen, decided to'
uphold the honor of the United
States by declaring war against
Germany. Ever^ effort was then I
put forth to martial our forces and
' -* ? '? ---? ???< tVio amaror.
tram our* uuyo iv wnv
ency and defend the rights of their
- country. Within a year we had equip
ped an army of two million men and
had placed over a million in France
and Belgium. Germany made light'
of our raw material and untrained
soldiers but history has never recorded
a more inspiring act of heroism
and bravery than that which was
shown by the brave boys of America.
They marched through the impregnTT
1 ?nn/4 dvrtVO
a Die mnueiiuuig uuc ?uu v**wtw
cruel German hordes back, step by
step until the once victorious German
legions were driven from their
entrenchments. It was then that the
kaiser and the leaders of the German
forces saw that it was useless
.to make any further fight, that the
brave American boys had outclassed
them in every conceivable way and
that the victory was lost to Ger
many. America won me ngm, civilization
was saved, the atrocities and
cruelties of an invading army had
been stilled, justice and right had
prevailed, France and Belgium had
been freed. America had cast her
die for right and the all wise providence
was with her. The raising of
this immense army took an enormous
sum of- money. Our boys were
with insurance so that their
?S1 v r 1UVU 1VAVM ?
dependent .ones might not- want in
case of -their death, the cripple and
lame were provided for. Every comfort
and convenience was given to
the boys- who - risked their lives for
humanity and their country.' A mil
lion' of these boys are still across the
'seas.- It takes money to keep- them
there, to properly care for them, and
to bring them back to their loved
ones and friends at home. Our gov
ernment decided instead of a direcl
taxation to sell liberty bonds. Thus
borrowing what money it needed di
rect from its own patriotic people
and paying to them four and three
fourth per cent interest. Our peo
pie have taken up and oversub
scribed the first, second, third anc
I *
fourth liberty bond loans and nov
we come to the last one, "the Victory
Loan." All will agree that the
government needs the money, al
will agree that it is no sacrifice t(
take liberty bonds because it is ?
good investment backed by the great
government of the United States,
backed by a property valuation oj
one hundred ten billion dollars
When we recall the facts that civilization
has been saved, that a despotic
military power put to flight
that a cruel invading army has beer
driven from the fields of France anc
Belgium^ and possibly our own deai
America saved from the horrors oi
an invading army, we cannot fee]
that we have done our solemn duty
which we owe to our boys unless we
Loan.
Our heroic boys have done all of
this bv the aid of every patriotic
American who lent his aid in all
these drives. Knowing all these facts
to be true what patriotic and true
American that can possibly do so
will refuse to help his government
in buying Victory bonds. Let every
man, woman and child of this great
country purchase a Victory bond
and thereby place the finishing touch
to the great victory and uphold the
hands of that great chieftain, who
now sits in Paris battling for human
rights and a permanent peace and
whose name shall go down in history
as one of the great benefactors of
mankind, namely, President Woodrow
Wilson.
THE FIFTH VICTORY BOND
v
Written by Edna Sanders, Member
of Speers Street School, Newberry.
-The very word victory?what does
it mean? We feel our very hearts
swell with pride and joy when we
realize that it a victory bond we are
asked to buy. We might be, instead
of buying a bond, having to pay a
Hntrp indemnitv to Germany.
When our boys left us and went
over seas, we said, "You do the fighting
and we will baclc you up in whatever
you need." Are we going to
break our word? Are we going to
say, now since the war is over, "No,
we've done our share?" We can
never do over our share. Our boys
fought and died for us and we must
back the mup. Show me where we
hflv#? pvpr failed before. We have
always acted promptly and raised
our share and went over the top,
When you buy a bond you do not
give Uncle Sam. one thing. All you
do is invest your money at four anc
three fourths per cent interest. He
pays you your money back in a fe\*
years with the interest. Now thai
we have raised four Liberty loans
are we going to stop? Though th?
war is over all is not over. We spenl
millions of. dollars during the war
Why one ship cost millions of dol
lars. Then all of our soldiers anc
seamen must be paid and fed. Be
hind it all are the people with the
money to buy the bonds. Dig deej
in your pocket and pull out thai
money and get that bond.
| Remember what all of the alliej
have done. The Hun . backed th?
women and children of France anc
Belgium against walls and shot their
without any mercy. We over her<
do not know what the war was
Though our boys are coming bad
minus an arm or a leg, and som(
both, we did not have one half a:
much to go through with as France
! But she, did her part and did.it noblj
We must send her food for, she ha.'
'none hardly. Then our boys mus
| be fed and equipped.
j Our last chance to help. Ough
we not to be glad to lend our monej
to so noble a cause? We'll neve*
cease to give until every boy come;
* t All 1 .
home, every task is luinnea am
j everything asked of us is accomplish
ed and tljen America will have don<
her part to the very limit which onl]
she could do and future generation!
will point with pride to our part ii
the war.
Certainly the Victory loan will b<
a success and America will as alwayi
respond to the call, for
America a slacker??No never
. . ^ j
She will do her part to tne euu,
I She'll give of her men and her mone;
(The whole wide world to defend,
The Victory bond a success??Wh;
surely,
Again we'll go over the top;
Until every job has been finished
I We do not know how to stop.
So here's to America forever,
i
jAnd here's to the success of th<
j bond;
J'Twill spell victory for us always,
And deliverance from the dreade<

P (honor to the soldiers who gave the I
. j Germans hell at St. Quentin, Ar- j

-: St. Mihiel and Chateau-Thierry.
, j We think we have sacrificed a lot,
t but look at the French and Belgians.
I; Will you show me the ruined homes,
''cathedrals, murdered women and
' children?widows, orphans and refu-;
[ ;gees? We have none. So we should j
r. be thankful for the privilege of help- j
; ing in this loan.
| Our boys sacrificed their lives to
:\keep us from having them.
: Sacrifiec! We speak of it lightly!
1 Think of the horrors the boys have
i had to go through, all night in "No r
! j Man's Land," with shells bursting j
? everywhere. Weeks in a trench with j
; icy water and maybe frozen to death.
Then to go over the top and per-.
haps lose their lives, to be cut off ,
.from supplies and maybe starve tojj
death. L
i'
If it had not been for the Belgians j
at Leige and other places, and the
| French who fought so nobly and well
at the Marne, and our own lads, the
sailors, who kept a vigilant watch on
the sea, all the time their lives in
| danger. And the British navy, who ,
j kept the German navy silent. Where |
j would we be? I will tell you, we!(
jwoulud be dead perhaps, our homes j.
land cities in ruin and the whole coun-J
;try in chaos. That is what the allied
J army has kept us from, by their
splendid sacrifice.
As Lieut. Colonel McCreey, who
sleeps in Flanders said, "If ye j,
'.break faith with us who died wel
shall not sleep." So American peo-j(
pie, if you do not want "To "break j
faith with those who died," Buy j
'Victory bonds and keep the torch
j burning that they threw to you! I
'"Carry on!"
| So help make the league 01 na-;
jtions a certain, sure, lasting peace
i on earth, securing the safety of wo
men and little children everywhere.
The partriotism of our nation will
l not be appealed in vain and you
i must come to this great undertak.;
ing with loyalty, with courage not
i born of passion for war, but for
: right and for honor.
[ So close the last chapter with a
, wonderful over balance of funds for
