Question Of Duty
The whole Liberty bond question 10
. duty
The New England Liberty Loan
Committee gave out the following
statement by Daniel G. Wing presi-
dent OF the First National Bank
ITO my mind. there is just one
overwhelming reason why We all
rich, poor and in between, should
subscribe promptly and to the extent
OF our ability, so that large over
subscription will result; an over
subscription which should be shared
in by lO000,O0 subscribers.
1.-The reason is this:
Apparently Germany, or the Ger
man government still believes our
people are not awake to the situation
and that we have neither the deter
mination nor the ability to make our
selves an effective lighting force
They know that we are able, but seem
TO doubt the willingness Of our peo-
rle as a whole to do that which We
can do at Once--furnish abundant
money and credit for ourselves and |
the allies.
Will Hasten Wars End
This loan is test Of the correct
pess Of that belief. What we want |
most OF all is to shorten the war and
stop the suffering and loss Of life.
The end will be materially FASTENED
II the German people realize that our
resources are to be thrown into the |
scale effectively and willingly and as
fast as they are needed"
Support Your Fighters
C. F. Weed. former president Of
the Boston Chamber Of Commerce.
says:
III you purchase a Liberty Bond
you help to support one or more SOL
diers who represent you and are fight
ing for you at the front In critical
you help your own gov
eminent without any sacrifice to your
self. You can give and yet lose
nothing by the giving. II is your
country that the soldier fights for az
well as his own: II is for your home
for which he is ready to die.
1T is your wife and children
whose lives and honor his own life
defends The chosen guard OF your
country are willing to 60 through hell
Itself for you and all you hold dear.
1.-THE success Of this Liberty Loan
will be to the whole world
a declaration and proof that Amer
ica Is IN earnest and is grimly de-
termined to put an end as soon as
possible and once for all, TO the hid
eous warfare which Germany has
waged to defeat, degrade and dom
mate the free peoples of the world.
Brings the War Home
Edmund Billings, collector OF the
Port OF Boston says:
"'Give' is not the word that should I
be used in this connection. rather
Invest Invest in the honor OF your
country Invest In defence Of your
women and children and all that you
hold dear Not only what you can
easily afford. but up to the last dol
lar that you can honestly rake and ,
scrape together Make some sacri-
fce and even then remember that It
Is small thing you are doing COM
pared TO what you are asking and ex-
pecting and receiving from our SOL
iiers and sailors"
win Gain In Value
c. B. Strecker. sub-treasurer OF
he United States. says:
There is no question that this
bond Is the very safest investment In
which any individual can invest his
money. IL this Liberty Bond is not
