WHAT WE MUST Do
no WIN THE WAR

When America took up Germa-
ny's challenge and entered the war
to save the Freedom of the World,
we coined the slogan, Business as
Usual" This has now almost Civ
en- way to the slogan, "War as
Usual"
The war had not been long in
progress before business men in
Europe and America gave'a great
deal of attention to the question,
"How will the war affect business?"
What can we business men do to
win the war and win it quickly?
Bringing the question down to
this day, this hour, the question is,
"What can we do to shorten the
war and bring victory nearer?"
Our duty as we'll as our clear
business policy is to buy all the
Liberty Bonds we can ourselves
and to make our friends and neigh
bors see their duty and advantage
to do the same.
You, who are employers, should
urge your employee to save money
now and put it into Liberty Bonds.
Yes, go further than that, help
them, and make it easy for them
to do it.
And you, EN- loyees, now that
prices are high and your dollars
will not buy much for you, invest
them in Liberty Bonds. Uncle
Sam will use them to drive Pruss.
ianism off this earth of ours, and
he will give them back to you with
good interest at time when their
purchasing power will be much
greater.
The Huns started this thing.
We are going to give them such a
licking that they will be neither
able nor willing to try it again.
We are going to do it and we
shall have to pay for it. The sooner
we do it, the less we shall have to
pay for it in dollars and in lives.
There are just two things for us
to do today-buy all the Liberty
Bonds we can and get our friends
to buy as many as they can.
But there is one more thought
that we must all drive home in our
minds and In the minds of others.
That is this:
We have only just begun to get
the better of Germany. Each mile
that we drive her armies back, they
will have a shorter line to defend,
and will as result be able to put
up stronger defense. And the

(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 15.-By a new
proclamation today, President Will

The following explanatory state
ment was issued by the war trade
board:
THE President has today issued
two proclamations which will become

The President has heretofore is
sued several proclamations control
