There was considerable delay in the
delivery of the definite bonds of the
first Liberty Loan. We must empha-
size the fact that the engraved bonds
OF the new issue will be really for inn
mediate delivery,
1t will hardly be necessary to en-
phasize again that all speeches at mo-
ton picture theaters must be limited
strictly to four minutes.
l. All Patriots Must Help.
We are reaching now one of the
crisis in the world war.
All Europe is wathcing-watching
us with eager eyes.
Germany in particular is noting our
every move. She is worried at last,
yet hopeful. for Germany knows that
before we entered the wal there was
variety of opinion in our midst, and
she, is still hopeful that even now
when we are in the war;. we Ameri-
cans may show divided sentiments.
She processes to count upon our
apathyrour Indifference.
Junkerdom has seen our "contempt-
ible little Army" grow in six months
to 10000 0 men,. The Prussian no
bles have witnessed an unparalleled
development toward one Of the grea7
est merchant marines in history.
Twelve hundred-twelve hundred or
more vessels to sail under the Stars
and Stripes. They saw, too. how the
first Liberty Loan>of two billions was
taken in a few weeks by 5000, 900 loyal
Americans, and yet the junkers still
hope; hoping our Americans will fall
short.
A Test Of Our Loyalty.
For now America faces a test of 10y
atty. We are deeper into the war;
some Of our soldiers have alerady
been killed and wounded, and the
American people are called upon to
lend their savings for a second great
er American Liberty Loan of $3,000,-
900, 900.
Of course this money will be raised.
Gigantic sum though it is, the fund is
small for rich America. We have

Empire and France combined. We.
i. e., the people of this country, have
lying in the treasures and banks and
in circulation thirty-iye per cent OF
the entire gold supply Of the world.
If we are patriotic, this Liberty Loan
is as nothing to us compared with
Europe's expenditures; e. e.. England
spent to August L. 1917, &c 1-2 billion,
France 16 IL billion, and others more
than our total to date. The German
Government itself-to show US its
strength-gave answer to our entry
into war by floating in a. few days an
other Government loan.
+ Germany is planning this month
another loan. We know, too, she has
spies now ready to report if any
where, u oar meets with apathy.
Our Wealth Must Win.
We must remember this: Soldiers
win battles; wealth wins wars. The
success of a Government loan during
war times means more than a victory
on a 20-mile front. By united morale
a regiment captures a trench. By
united sentiment a people supply the
needs of the soldiers.
Shall this great second Liberty Loan
cans join in intellectually, making
this all-important war measure a
sweeping, soul-stirring success?\ That
is the question of the hour.
On the liberty loan there can be no
two opinions. Grim terrible war is
