that It will never be necessary to
apply the draft system to raise Ne

The liberty loan committee for
Nebraska has Just completed a tour

Liberty Loans of Other Days. ,.'
Robert Morris, Superintendent of

In u circular to tho governots of the
states on October 19, 1781, wrote:
"it Is not by tho brilliant successes
of war, the splendor of conquest or
th shouts of victory that a wiso min
istry are to bo affected. The superi
ority of national fesources Is the sure
ground on which to hope for success,
and that superior resource, steadily
and perseverlnoly applied, must even
tually attain its object.
"It Is possible that wo aro near lh
oloao of this war, nnd perhaps wo aro
only In tho middle of It. But if , tho
war should conllnuo, wo have . to
blame ourselves; for were these re
sources called into action which .we
leally possess, the foreign enerqles
would soon lose all hppo and abandon
n. cm enterprise.
"If we do our duty now the war will
soon be brought to a close; If not. It
may last for many years, and what
will then be Its termination it Is not
In our wisdom to foresee. The enemy
will ask for peace, only when we are
