STIRRING APPEAL
 GIVEN AT TEMPE
 BY CHARLES WOOLF

One Of the particularly effective four minute addresses being delivered the campaign of patriotism now ,oing forward nationally was that of Nharles C. Wooh of Tempe MT. Woolf lad prepared his brief address with
 he utmost care and it produced a most decided effect in the Airdome It Tempe where it was delivered. The mort address itself, is as follows:
 -adies and Gentlemen
 Do you realize that a crisis in the world war centers this month in
 nerica? What the United States does during this month of october, 1917. is of more importance than Jictory on miles of European battle fronts. Why? Because America is 'aising her second great Liberty
 oan of three lillion dollars? No. Nobody worries about 1aising the money. but the question is, will the American people absorb this loan
 iuickiy. not only the amount. but in such overwhelming number of sua
 scribers as win make it plain to all t1e world that we are united ana that to those who have drowned our helpless women ana children, We curl back our answer "A Billion week to win.
 Remember this: Soldiers win bat ,ies-wealth wins wars The sue ,ess of a government loan during the Nar times means more than vic -ory on 20-mile front By united morale a regiment captures trench " united sentiment a people sup plies the physical needs, the moral support and the patriotic inspiration )f the soldiers. Every fighting man hot gre for him. heart and soul-that ;-ves rim fighting strength.
 The only conceivable question from my American regarding this loan is, Shall America be weak or shall America be strong? If any sen- lmentalist shall answer that he does not care to lend his money to send NIT oOyS abroad. we can truthfully tell him that every dollar he now loans the government will mean a drop of American blood saved Pa ,ifists and o-Gcrmans cannot stoo he war. neither can they stop our soldiers from going abroad so lorg as he conflict continues. Our boys will go and more will go and still more
 lntil the decisive day. The harder we strike now the sooner that ex- odus will end. Every citizen who loes his best by lending lhs utmost,
 nay genuinely feel that he is keep ng boy, perhaps ten, perhaps 50 American boys out of the death deal | ing trenches
 This gigantic three million dolas | loan will be subscribed and oVer-su5- scribed. IL is small for America. for we have greater wealth than all | of the British Empire and France | combined We have S5 Der cent of | the entire gold supply of the world | in our treasuries and banks. The ob- I ject most desired in connection with this loan is not so much the actnal | raising of the amount of money, but | that there shall be a vast nrinner subscribers. To the third British and 1 0 the fourth German loans there were more than five million subscrib- CTS. About five million subscribers to our first Liberty loan We shall not do our duty to those boys who have gone and are going to the bat tlefleld, unless at least ten million | loyal Americans subscribe to this | second Liberty loan. This means that there must be at least one sub
 scriber for every eleven people, men
 women and children. in this whole | broad land. There is absolutely nc | ioubl tiieil liS lOan VIII ne CdkeD
