al our home army fails to put the
Fourth Liberty Loan over" he de-
clsred. "it will contradict everything
our soldiers are doing. 1t will be q
new incentive to Germany to keep on
fighting, and it will be a confession in
America Of humiliating and disastrous
failure. Our soldiers are winning
,ictories with their blood and heroism.
Shall we st home turn their victories
into defeats? No! Pershing has the
Germans on the run, and we are going
u lash the backs Of the fleeing enemy
until the victory is complete
Must Follow Up Victories
"Pershing needs locomotives and
rails to follow up our victories, and
part of the money of the fourth Lib
erty Loan will be used to send them to
him. 1t takes American locomotives
now to keep up with the fleeing Ger
mans. Let US see to it at home that
the necessary locomotives are provid-
ed for the chase. We may as we'll send
our American soldiers in first class
trains to Berlin instead of leaving them
march that long distance on foot.
The fact that only one week remains
TO subscribe the fourth Liberty Loan
and that we are still short $500, ,000,-
600, makes it necessary for US to con-
sider some of the specific things that
must be done to win success. Many
families for instance. think they have
done their fully duty when the head of
the family subscribes for bonds, but
the head of the family has not done
his full duty unless he has bought all
of the bonds he can pay for immedi
ately and in the near future. If the
wife is able to buy bonds and has not
done so she should buy them immedi-
ately; if the children are able to buy
bonds and ave not done SO they should
buy Immediately.
Appeals to Farmers
A word particularly to the farmers
They did splendid work in the Third
Liberty Loan, but they must do more
with the Fourth Liberty Loan. Farm
srs have not yet sold their crops and
may not have ready money to pay for
bonds Immediately. But they are sell
ing their crops right along and will
soon have the money to invest in Liher-
ty bonds. Each and every farmer in
the United States should subscribe for
Liberty bonds now and pay for them
when he, has sold his crops. He car
buy bonds on the instalment plan and
the banks ought TO carry the farmers
and every other class Of our people on
their subscriptions until they can pay
them. The banks owe it to the coun-
