Your Villag
It is jutst a typical American vil
lage--perhaps yours or the one in the
next county. It has two churches and
a hotol and there is the "corner"
where the men gather after supper
to consider politics and "the state of
the Union." Its population is about
2,000.
When war was declared it gave its
sons with a glad heart, and they
marched away bravely-many with a
sob in the throat, perhaps, but with
a splendid vision guiding their feet.
From the training camp these boys
went to France and were moved up
into the battle line. The Hun was
making a desperate effort to destroy
eivilization In a bloody drive on Paris.
Then
The richest man In the village met
the hotel barber and they gripped
hands In silence. Their two sons lay
dead In the Argonne.
The village butcher boy-red-hend
ed and Irish-smiled for the last time.
?Ie died fighting that freedom might
not rer!t. The town's Boau Brum
mel-he had never amounted to
much-won the Croix de Guerre-but
lost both eyes.
Gas claimed the son of the widow
who lived in the little greeni (Ottage.
At first she could not speak when
she received the brief telegram. Thnn
-"John was nil I had. I hoped he
would conme hack. If T had a wo sons
I iwould give them too." That was all.
Buit
America as a whole never felt the
real hand of war--not as Prance felt
it-nor as En;;land--nor oven as Can
ada.
Why?
Because our dollars stopped the
war. They made p)ossible those tre
nmondous preparations for a long war
that i~sualted in a short war. Never
was such a stupendous aso'mblage of
munitions. Giermany wilt'd. Thou
sands oif millions of dollars were
saved. But best of all, tens of thona
sands of American hoys were saved.

ica holds its dollars cheaper than it
valued Its sons.
Tho war is over. Victory is ours.
America escaped the frightful burden
of debt which would have been ours
if the war had lasted two years long
er. We still have those dollars in our
pockets.
And the boys are coming homa.
But the debts the government did
contract-the debts that won the war
-must be paid. They will be paid.
America has pledged its faith, and
the faith of America has never been
questioned.
We are now asked to lend the gov
ernment some of those unpaid dollars
we still have in our pockets, and, to
secure the loan, Victory Liberty
Bonds will be issued-the safest in
the world.
Then let our hearts-and our purses
-say how thankful we are that, per.
haps, half a million American boys
were saved.
HE HAD THE GRIT
THAT WON THE WAR
Carter Glass, secretary of the 'ireas'
uiry, copied the following note, among
others, from the note book of a Red
Cross nurso when ho was in F'rance:
"One b)oy I shall always remember.
Ills right shoulder was lpractieally
shot away and he had a hig wound
in his back and one in his loft eye.
But ho sat straight up and wouldn't
let anybody help him. ie dlidn't say
a word while they pulled off the tight
elingIng gauze from the red, rawv, wet
flesh that quivered in spite of him.
When the first wound was finished all
he said was:
"Do you think I could rest a niinnIte,
Doc, before you don the seco)nd one?"
"Red. rav., wet flesh" --Amerleam
flesh. It was hot yellow. Think ol
that when you are asked to) hov Vic
tory Liberty bonds, you who thiink
you havo dlone enough.
