Gov. James p. Goodrich has pro-
claimed Sunday, April 7, as Patriot
Sunday, In the following proclama-
tiDn:
"The people Of Indiana, in com.
mon with the people of other states,
are az ain entering upon another crit
tcal phase OF our war ACTIVITY. Tney
are again about to be called on, by
subscribing literally and generously
TO the third Liberty Loan, to furnish
the sinews of wal for our boys who
arc bravely facing the common enc
my in order that the ideals of Amer1-
can liberty and development shall not
vanish before the consuming fire OF 8
mercless and conscienoeless sutoc-
racy.
THE sacrifices already made, only
forerunners Of greater sacrifices to
come, have taught us many things.
We have learned that the people at
home have important duties to per-
form, as wars are waged now not be-
tween armies, but between nations.
We have learned that II the war Is
TO be won, America must change
from an eztravagant to a frugal na-
tton, and that the resources thus saw
ed must be converted into assets
which can be used against the enemy.
"I know that these facts have been
well learned by the people Of Indiana,
because our beloved Hooster state
has led the way IN practically every
phase OF war activity in the number
~ uoI, 10 !.
Red Cross, tho Liberty Loan and the
other great war movements.
"And Indiana, I feel sure, will 60
over the top in the third Liberty
Loan Campaign about to begin But
TO do this 1t VIII be necessary that
every Hoosier divert some time from
his everyday occupation and donate
it to the success OF this campaign.
Indiana 10 organized as never before
for the success OF this movement.
Politics has been laid aside, all diff
ferences have been forgotten. The
work OF providing the funds which
will back up our boys In their hght
against power-Inade autocracy Is IN
every mind. Every great organiza-
tion in the state is lending itself 10
tho important task at hand.
In order that the people of Indi-
ana may realize the Importance of
this third Liberty Loan campaign
when our armies are facing = mil
itary crisis, and in order that there
may be determined start in Indiana
to this essential work;
Therefore, I, James r. Goodrich,
governor of Indiana, at the beginning
of the second year of the war of the
United states against the central en-
pires, do hereby proclaim Sunday,
April z, 1918, as Patriot Sunday, and
do request and suggest that minis
ters In the churches of Indiana, and
leaders of people everywhere, utilize
this day to launch the au-tmportant
third Liberty Loan campaign, and !
do further suggest to all OF the poo
pie OF Indiana, that they devote as
much time as possible In all of the
preceding and succeeding days of the
campaign to make the third Liberty
LoaE in Indiana a tremendous sue
cess.
I'm witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
AFFIXED the great seal of the state of
Indiana, done at the capitol, in In
diAnapo1s, this twenty fifth day OF
March, 1915"
