THE USES OF THE LIBERTY
LOAN.

Belgian people have undergone
and are still suffering. They
need not fear the terror that in
vaded France and still has its
heavy hand upon a portion of
French territory and French
people. There is little danger
that we will suffer Zeppelin raids
and other attacks such as Ger
many has been able to infiict
upon England.
But let it be remembered that
some Americans many of our
bravest and best young men
will suffer death, wounding, and
torture such as our Allies have
suffered for three years and are
suffering still, and that they will
be fighting by the side of their
French and English comrades to
save America and to save the
world from any present extern
sion of this horrible war and the
danger of any recurrence of it in
the worlds history.
The Liberty Loan is to be used
in the interest not only of
America and Americas soldiers;
it is to be used to fight for the
benefit Of the world, for. the up
holding of civilization, of
humanity, and for the future as
well as the present.
Money has never been devoted
to a more noble purpose. It is
such a contribution to humanity
and civilization, to the future of
civilization and humanity, that
Americans of this and all sue
ceeding generations may we'll be
proud of and will be proud of.
