1t came our way.
Today they are changing their minds
We are giving the world a demon
stration of what the underlying prin
ciples OF this country are.
We are showing the world that we
have never had the slightest idea OF
spelling American" with any Other
than capital A.
Doing this costs money.
1t is easy enough to wave a flag an6
cheer the soldiers; it is easy enough
to crate patriotic things and praise
the names of Washington and Lincoln
But the acid test of war is siftin,
citizenship. 1t is making us realiz,
that we cannot have national strength
without something to back 1t up.
That's why the second Liberty loar
is announced.
We might as well get used to sup
porting Liberty loans.
You can't "do your bit" by wearing
button for one bond. We've got t.
pay for that Americanism of which
we have been so proud, If we expec
to keep on being proud Of 1t.
1t means sacri&ces. 1t means each q
us has got to do the biggest things h.
can do for his country.
If a million, or two million. men ca
stand behind us and the he'll that wa.
made of Belgium and northern France
then we can stand back of those mel
and pay for the guns and ammunition
and clothing and food they have t,
have.
Suppose you did buy one Libert,
bond. Suppose you bought Thousand
dollars worth. or a hundred THOUSAND
dollars worth.
Buy another. Double your invest
ment.
Can't afford 1T?
We have to afford it-this time, an,
the next and the next. and every tim
until the war is won.
Well have to do without something
If that is the only way we can d.
something for our country.
If you have to do without q dress
or an overcoat. to buy Liberty bond
do without
You'd rather have peace. and bon,
paying you 4 per cent, than dress o
an overcoat. and war costing you you
home, and your sons. and your broth
ers. wouldn't you?
If we can't put this second Libert
loan over except by doing withou
something then let's do without.
For. If we can't make loan to Lib
erty, then one of these days we will
see Liberty in pawn.

SHOW YOUR FAITH
IN AMERICA
BY THOMAS r. MARSHALL,
Vice President of the United States

If we are standing In statecraft for
the same things for which the Naza-
rene stood in religion, then we ought
to be able to CLEAN something from
the discussion of his followers. Pc
ter and Paul grew acrimonious over
the relative merits of faith and works
and the discussion ended with the
somewhat caustic statement, "ShOw
me your faith without your works,
and 1 will show you my faith by my
works."
We have been running up the Amer
lean Flag at all the school houses In
America; we have been rising with
solemn countenances whenever the
"Star-Spangled Banner" is played, and
we have proclaimed to the world our
never-ending allegiance to those great
principles of democracy upon which
the republic was founded and is now
supposed to rest. Now we have reach
ed the point where our faith is
being put to the tombstone of our
works and we are soon to find out
whether this love which we profess
for our institutions, our country, and
our Flag, is but sounding brass and
a tinkling cymbal or whether 1t is a
great and vital inspiration Of individ-
ual and national life.
Our young men, with a devotion I'M
exampled In the history of the world
are laying aside all the hopes of flu
ture years and are going gladly "some-
where in France" to offer, If need be,
the last drop of blood in their veins
as free libation upon the altar of
constitutional liberty. They cannot
go half-clad, half-fed, unequipped or
unassured that they will be properly
looked after If disabled.
We did not prepare. We thought
there was no danger. And in one year
there came upon us an outlay of en-
traordinary expense, which might have
been prevented had we exercised fore
sight and courage, little by little, to
get ready. 1t is futile, however, to
hold post-mortems. The past is the
dead and eternal past. This war must
be fought. and it must be financed in
order to be fought.
My objection to Carnegie libraries
is not directed at Carnegie nor at H.
braries; 1t springs from a deep-rooted
feeling that we do not take real In.
terest In anything for which we do
not make some sacrifice.
I do not, therefore, want this war
to be financed by those who are easily
able to do so financially. I want every
man, woman and child in America
who has been waving the Flag, singing
the "Star-Spangled Banner" and brag.
ging about the glories of democracy
to prove now by their works that they
have a genuine faith in the American
republic. That proof demands of us
all that we take enough Of the war OBJ.
legations of this government to make
us feel some sort of sacrifice for the
cause in which each one of us pro-
fesses to believe and does believe.

BRYAN BOOSTS LIBERTY SALE.

MUST OVERWHELM
THE KAISER
BY RUTH LAW,
Famous Aviatrix,

The government has asked us for
another great Liberty Loan. Thou
sands of American men and women
are wondering what they can do to
help bring peace to the distracted
world. The word war is beginning to
bring horror to our hearts. as 1t has
brought horror to the hearts Of men
and women of Europe ever since 1914.
Our boys are now in that dreadful
cauldron of death and suffering, the
battlefield of France. Many a mother
has sent her only son away to the
land she has never seen to fight for
the cause Of Liberty and Freedom.
Other mothers have given several sons
for this noble cause.
This is the moment Of opportunity.
Grasp it before 1t is too late. Sub
scribe to the new Liberty Loan, the
loan that is to help bring back our
sons, brothers and fathers from a war
that was forced upon us by the Ger
man kaiser. We must show the en-
envy of democracy and liberty that ev.
cry last American Is standing back OF
Uncle Sam with every penny that we
possess Let us show the Germans
that the great masses Of the A1neri-
can people are individually working
for peace by subscribing to the new
Liberty Loan.
Particularly, men and women OF
small means, this is your opportunity
to do your bit for Uncle Sam. We
will overwhelm the kaiser's forces
with money, men and airplanes and
drive them forever from the fields of
battle.
BUY YOUR BOND FOR LIBERTY
TODAY.
