Pointing out that property will not be of much value unless It is pro- tected by our soldiers here and abroad and unless complete victory marks the efforts of the United States and her Allies, Elbert H. Gary, Chair- man of the Board of Directors of the United States Steel Corporation, sald to-day there was no doubt tn his mind that the loan would be fully subscribed, “Because of the extraordinary at- tractive investment features of the new Liberty Loan,” said Mr. Gary, | ‘there need really be no question of the success of the campaign for the sale of these securities. A: imple problem of what is best for the in. dividual who seeks a safe investment the Liberty Loan bonds represent the most satisfactory solution, with @ most appealing income yield. “But there is something olse that should be considered which adds much more to the value of these bonds. We are sending abroad an army and navy, consisting of men of whom all of us are justly proud.
