Keynote Of Day

Secretary McAdoo. telegraphing from
Nashville, sounded the keynote OF the
day in a Liberty Day statement issued
here tonight. "All that is needed now
70 make the Liberty Loan an over

the people generally in all parts Of the
nation realize the personal application
of the loan appeal. There is still too
much of a tendency to believe that the
loan will be subscribed easily and
without the assistance of the average
man and woman.
The Liberty Loan will succeed only
II members of each family realize their
direct responsibility and loan their
money TO their government through
the purchase of Liberty bonds, the SAT
est investment in the world, the pro-
ceeds OF which will be used TO arm
and equip our soldiers and sailors
fighting for the free institutions, the
property and lives Of those of VI who
must remain at home.
