Britons fought and suffered and died in order that
their children and their children's children might
be free. Today the forces of darkness threaten to
engulf us once more. Shall we give up those rights
which our forefathers won ?
Today our country must arm. No time can be lost.
We must build the greatest war machine the world
has ever known. We must accomplish in two years
more than the enemy has accomplished in seven.
That is why Canada needs your savings —not as a
gift, but only as a loan. Canada's army must be
maintained and equipped with the most modern
fighting machines. Scores of warships and merchant
vessels must be built. Thousands of planes, thousands
of pilots must be rushed to the scene of conflict.

&o Canada needs the use of your money now. Later
on, Canada will repay you in full. In the meantime,
you will receive regular interest on your loan.
When you buy Victory Bonds, all Canada is your
security. These Bonds are more readily turned into
cash than any other.
HOW TO BUY—Give your order to the canvasser who
calls on you. Or place it in the hands of any branch of any
bank, or give it to any trust company. Or send it to your
local Victory Loan Headquarters. Bonds may be bought in
denominations of $50, $100, $500, $1,000 and larger.
Canvasser, bank, trust company or your local Victory Loan
Headquarters will be glad to give you every assistance in
making out your order form.

WAR MYSTERY OF 45,000,000 the number of deaths from influenza,
Whooping cough and meningitis have
alone been rather more prevalent
than usual.
Britain's own doctors offer various
explanations of the mystery among
them the dispersal of densely pop-
ulated areas, the improved system
of health supervision, the spread of
education ih preventive measures,
fewer people at "the pictures" and
in other public places.
All, however. are agreed that Elie
busy, hazardous life led by 45,000,000
people leaves them neither the time
nor the inclination to brood ever min-
or ailments. The war ltaa taken
them "out of themselves."
