Our Soldier Boys Appeal

TODAY thousands Of soldiers from our Ma
i tonal Army, released from their training
for the purpose, are back at home appealing
to their acquaintance. friends, neighbors and
relatives to subscribe for Liberty bonds, that
tho necessary funds may be at the command
OF the government to support them at the
front while they, with their lives, attempt to
stay the tide OF German conquest These
soldier boys and their comrades In every
camp In the country have set the example OF
subscribing for bonds to the limit Of their
ability by allotments from their future pay,
and now, to prevent the possibility Of failure
Of the loan to reach Its maximum Of $780,
000,000 on this. the closing day OF the cam
pafgn, they appeal to the people at home to
come to their assistance
Was there ever a sublimor example Of un-
selfish patriotism and O more striking ap-
peal to tho country's civilian population to
realize the obligation that rests upon It?
Can it be possible that the American people
will turn a deaf ear to the appeal of these
soldier boys who are to offer up their lives
to protect them from the menace OF such
atrocious warfare as has drenched the soil
OF Europe with blood aud enacted unspeak-
able horrors in tho wake Of the victorious
German armies?
II the loan Is not to reach its highest sue
cess to-day's holding back will tell the story.
and with heavy hearts these soldier boys.
thrust to the front, will return to their train
Ing to mako ready for facing the enemy.
carrying with them the inesca pable conclu-
sion that their lives have heen weighed in
the balance with American dollars. and the
dollar beam tipped the scale. Go they will.
despite the burden Of humiliation and sorrow
they are forced to carry with them-go to
face death heroically realizing that they are
not to be supported to the utmost by tho
money Of those for whom they fght-know-
Ing that American dollars were miserly held
back In face Of the glarIng truth that every
dollar invested In Liberty bond means O
drop OF American blood, their blood. saved.
Let us not delude ourselves that our task
is simple. Germany's army to-day is larger
than ever before; her navy is practically IN
touched. and she is even now planning new
terrors-su bmarines lurking In fleets to sink
American transports filed with American SOL
dters. to drive allied shipping from the sea
by sinking 1t at the bottom of the ocean
Germany will never yield until the last of
her millions and millions Of subjects have
been nsked In the fiery furnace OF war.
To-day we must make momentous de-
c1sion. We must decide whether we are
worthy or unworthy Of liberty. May the
shades Of our departed forbears, who valued
liberty and never counted the cost OF pa
triotism, help US to decide rightly. What,
ever other sections Of tho country may do,
let Virginia emerge from to-days test true
to her glorious traditions of the past.
