MARSTALLING NATIONS
STRENGTH NECESSARY

WASHINGTON ID. ca grea
war is a nations supreme test. II
conduct a war successfully requires
the marshalling of all of the nation
resources as well as its physica
strength. 1t is the part of the young
men to make the nations physica
strength felt on the firing line. II is
the part of those who cannot give
their services at the front to be the
sustaining forces behind the line. II is
the part of the women to fill in the
roles that the men have been playing
and to keep up the nations efficiency.
| II is the part of those who can afford
it to lend their capital to enable the
nation to prosecute the war with the
greatest effectiveness
The Liberty Loan offers this oppor-
tunity to every American patriot.
1t is inconceivable that the people
of the United States will ever be call
ed upon to meet the privations which
this war forced upon the people of
Europe. European nations have al
ready expended fifty billions of dol
lars of their resources to prosecute
the war, and their people have given,
not only their lives. but they have
subjected themselves to tremendous
sacrifices in every way. Five million
European homes have been visited by
death itself Fine cities have given
gone on government food ratiOns, in
dividual liberty has been sacrificed
to national unity of action in order
to gain national efficiency. Women
who have been accustomed to fine
clothes and the constant round of en-
tertainment, have taken their place as
day laborers in munition factories
All of this sacrifice has been made
for a cause that is as much ours as
theirs. The violation of the neutral
ity of Belgium was just such an af
front to America as to Great Britain.
German autocracy threatens the per
petuity of free institutions every
where alike.
The important thing now for we
Americans to realize that this is our
war, and as participants, we must do
our utmost to bring it to a successful
The thing which is most
available and which can be given at
once in our wealth. 1t is the patriotic
duty, therefore, of every American to
help make the Liberty Loan an
success.
1t is the unusal privilege of Amer
leans to take the first step in helping
the fighting allies without great sac
rifice. Even if you do not wish to
place your subscription on the basis
of patriotism, you might reasonably
place ii on the basis of investment. A
8 y per cent government bond, tax
free, is an excellent investment.
The purchase of Liberty bonds to
the extent of $50 means that you
are lending your resources to pay the
keep of one soldier for ten days in the
trenches of France. Surely you can
do that much. Many can do much
more.
