Rut the Finishing Teuchea to tha Garman Dream of Wartd Coaqueat—lt Takaa Money to Mold the Obeequlee of Kaiaariam. Here is a rood answer for the fellow who soys: “I bought the bonds of the previous loans, but why should 1 <<ave and buy more?” The answer is concerned with sickness and death. Fortune.tely. the disease is the German dream of world copquest, and the funeral Is that of the kaiser’s ambitions. z Now. In the average American home, where sickness and death befall, the head dMhe family first pays for physicians. medicines and nurses. But when he has gone thus far. he does not stop. 11“ cannot. He must go on and call In the undertaker. He must finish the sr.d business. Ami so It is In the family of nations. We have been stricken with whir —and now we must pay for It. Happily, the corpse, ns has been said, Is the German ambition. The United States and our allies must pay for the funeral. The first, second and third Liberty loans brought together and trained the army of physicians and nurses that was to combat the disease. The fourth loan transported them to the house of sickness and carried them through to the deathbed of Prussian autocracy. But we still have to pay the last bills of Imperialism’s passing, and the laying away of that dread corpse has been an unavoidable expense. The man who says: “I bought the other bonds but I’ll be darned H I’ll save now to buy more," Is as illogical as a father who would say: “I paid for the doctor and nurses and the medicines, but I'll be darned if I’ll have a funeral." Let us do our share In helping along the obsequies of kaiserism. It will be the best Investment any of us can make. HELP “FINISH THE JOB."
