THE BRITISH WAR LOAN

CALL TO MILLIONS OF CITIZENS

London, January 28. Mr.. Hayes Fisher (Under-Secretary to the Local Government Board), speaking at Ealing, said the loan must be raised by the combined efforts of millions of citizens. Tho war would not he finished in 1917 unless wo wore prepared for still greater privations. The cost of the war to Germany was about the samo as to England. We would emerge impoverished, naturally; but Germany would be bankrupt. The British money would be forthcoming if we only thought of the thousands of splendid lives already given, of the 5000 in the country to-day who have lost an ami or a leg, of tho 2200 men in Franco who havo lost their eyesight, and of the millions who aro ready to give their all in freedom's cause. — Aus.-N.Z.
