BY w. G. McADOO, Secretary of
the Treasury.
For the purpose of
equipping with arms, clothing and
food our gallant soldiers who
nave been called to the field:
maintaining our navy and our
variant tars upon the high seas
providing the necessary me ans to
pay the wages of our soldiers
ana sailors and, If the bill now
pending in the congress passes.
the monthly allowance for the
support of their dependent fami-
lies and to supply them with
life insurance;
constructing a great fleet of mer-
chant vessels to maintain the
line of communication with our
brave troops in France, and to
Keep our commerce afloat upon
the high seas in defiance Of the
German kaiser and his subma-
rines
creating great fleet of aeroplanes
which will give complete suprem-
acy In the air to the United
states and the brave nations
fighting with us against the
German military menace; and
for other necessary war pur-
poses.
the congress OF the United States
nus authorized the secretary of the
70 To
bonds Of the United States bearing 4
per cent interest, with valuable tax
exemptions, and convertible under GER
tain conditions into other issues of
United States bonds that may be au-
thorized by the congress. The official
circular Of the treasury department
gives full details.
THREE BILLION.
There is now offered to the Ameri
can people new issue of $4,000, Doc, 900
Of bonds to be known as the second
liberty loan. They will be ISIS ued in
such denominations and upon sucu
terms that every patriotic citize n will
have an opportunity to assist the gov
eminent by lending his money upon
the security of United States govern
ment bond.
1t Is essential to the success Of the
war and to the support of our gallant
troops that these loans shall not only
be subscribed. but oversubscribed. No
one is asked 70 donate or give his
money to the government; but every
one is asked to lend his money to the
government.
The loans will be repaid in fun with
interest at the rate of per cent per
annuin. A GOVERNMENT BOND IS
THE SAFEST INVESTMENT IN
THE WORLD; 1t is as good as cur
rency and yet better, because the gov
eminent band bears interest and cur
rency does not. No other investment
compares with 1T far safety, ready con-
vertibilty into cash. and unquestioned
availability as collateral security for
loans In any bank in the United States.
HOW ALL CAN HELP.
People by thousands ask the treas
ury constantly how they can help the
government In this war. Through the
purchase of Liberty bonds every one
can help. No more patriotic duty can
be performed by those who cannot ac-
than to furnish the government with
the necessary money to enable 1t to
give our brave soldiers and sailors all
that they require to make them strong
for the fight and capable of winning
swift victory over our enemies.
We fight. first of all, for Americas
vital rights. the right to the unmolested
and unobstructed use of the high seas,
SO that the surplus products of our
farms. our mines and our factories may
be carried into tho harbors Of every
friendly nation in the world. Our well
fare and prosperity us a people depend
upon our right of peaceful intercourse
with all the nations of the earth. To |
abandon these rights by withdra wing |
our ships and commerce from the seas |
upon the order of military despot In |
Europe would destroy prosperity and
bring disaster and humiliation upon
the American people.
We fight to protect our citizens
against assassipation and murder
upon the high seas while in the i
peaceful exercise of those rights
demanded by international law
and every instinct and dictate or
humanity.
We fight to preserve our demo-
cratic Institutions and our sover+
eighty as a nation against the
menace of a powerful and ruth
less military autocracy headed by
the German kaiser, whose ambi-
ton is to dominate the world.
LIBERTY FOR ALL.
We fight also for the noble ideal of
democracy and liberty, the
light of the smallest and weakest ma
ions equally with the most powerful
o live and to govern themselves ac-
