DO YOU WANT VICTORY AMI. THE END OF
THE WAR?

This is our war-your war-the Kaiser made it So 1t
is one of the things 'ade in Germany, and it was made
with the purpose of putting collar aboat our necks
your neck-and putting an end to our freedom-your
freedom
No matter who you who read this it is your war,
and YOU wish an early peace after complete victory Inc
Kaiser thought that freedom had turned our heads and
divided us as nationhat we could not unite, and raise
armies to wage against his long trained and season
ed veterans.
But he was mistaken for in the short space OF l8
months we have changed from democratic, peaceful
people to powerful machine capable otmeetng and
defeating his best troops.
We have done this because we were willing to sub
merge our minor differences for the time and put INTO the
hands of our president the and means to wage sue
cessful war.
The more men and the more means the shorter will
be the war and the complete victory Even as we
write Germany the verge Of collapse and revolution
That the Kaiser will finally be OverthroWn seems certain
and whether the time be day one year we have
undertaken the job and we are going to finish 1t for the
honor of our country and the safety OF our homes.
We have the men and money and having provided
lust and certain plan for raising the money only is
needed now
Our Government has so far been able to borrow of
our citizens all the money needed Since the begin
ming OF the war it has oated three large loans ana Is
asking fourth.
1t is large one but the country has the money, and
it is only question of whether you my dear reader will
accent an interest bearing Government Bond for your
money or whether you will accept tax receipt
There seems to be earthly doubt about the bonds
being redeemed with the interest.
tax receipt will never be redeemed and they bear
no interest AS good level headed business proposition
the Bonds look good to We will stake reputation
prophet that they will be at premium IN less than
twelve months.
Just as the bonds of the German Empire sink in the
markets of her neghbors will the bonds of Uncle Sam
rise in price. Already the process has begun The news
dispatches state that the German markets in panic
How can you doubt for instant the wisdom of buying
bonds and more bonds to the limit of your purse and
credit?
AS this is written the quota for Cobb County has not
been raised but we feel that will go the top
with this and every other loan that Government may
need guarantee the peace and freedom Of
try and all the peoples of the EARTH from the domination
of Kaisers or other despots.
Nothing that our men the battlefront may do will
have more effect on the Kaiser than very large
subscription of the Fourth Liberty Loan and we at home
can do it.
