The Amerii ans could have massacred it or starved it without losing scarcely a man. Its colonel called the roll, and every man answered. - lie then suggested sug-gested to his captors that as his command com-mand was so distressingly complete it might as well preserve its organization, organiza-tion, and with its ollicers and non-coms, non-coms, it marched, disarmed and under escort, to the detention camp. The only thing lack::": was a brass band. The coup vn accomplished by Yankee (luickners. The quickness was made possible by flawless trans porlation facilities and equipment. The::e things make for bloodless victory. And they cost money. The amount called for in the new loan appeal is stupendous. . It is not a case of "IIave you bought a bond?" but "Mow many have you bought?'" Hut money means superior equipment equip-ment and bloodless triumphs.

Money buys gas-masks, life-saving appliances and hospi'tal equipment. It's our money or the lives of our boys. Don't weaken,, men and women of North Sanpete.
