No Reason For Delay

Every cent of the proceeds of the
Liberty Loan Bond issue Is to be
spent with the American people. 1t
will be paid to the farmers for food
and other products of their farms.
for clothing. for leather; it will be
paid to the manufacturers of this
country for manufactured products
not only in the way of munitions and
armament, but of all manufactured
products that soldiers and armies
use. That portion of the loan which
is loaned the Allies will be spent and
that part reserved for the American
government will be so spent. In sub
scribing to the Liberty Loan the
American people are lending to their
best customer and enabling him to
purchase more literally from them.
1t is stated on undoubted authority
that victorious Germany will de-
mand billions of dollars from the
United States as indemnity for the
damages inflicted by the arms and
munitions furnished by America to
the Entente Allies. The Liberty Loan
Bond issue is the answer-Billions
for defense but not one cent for in
demnity.
The. Kaiser is waiting to hear from
the Liberty Loan Bond sale. Let the
answer be such that 1t will be heard
around the world
