LITTLE WILLIE'S LETTER.
Tho Fourth Liberty Loan is n
/ lighting loan and every bond Is n
mighty blow for liberty, for victory,
! Let every colOred man, woman and
child, do his or her best for this great
war must be fought through to q
peace, TO be written by America and
Z nor Allies. We must win or die. and
IL we don't win, wo will surely die,
! ana some of us (ColOred folks) think
! we arc having it hard or have had
| it hard, but if we lose in this great
world conflict, 1T will be He'll, two
! miles.
Think of tho Hun laundering at
| our very doors, invading us from the
! east, West and South, which she will
no, unless we strain every muscle to
! help our boys win, for Germans pur-
! pose is to control the world. If
/ Germany wins everything you pos
sess is lost It's now or never, We
must win, We will win, If you will
i hclp. IL you can't go over there and
light, you can buy Liberty Bonds
! that's fighting too.
! Bonds you buy, will feed our boys
over there, will load a gun, that will
Kill Hun, so let everybody get busy
: boost the Fourth Liberty Loan--it's
. Il lighting loan, it spells victory, that
means liberty. Buy Liberty Bonds
= that liberty shall not perish from tho
earth. Let's be merry, stay on tho
sunny side. What's the use to be
grouchy, what's you crying about,
/ cvcrybody's with you. It's better for
our boys to go to fight for their
! Uncle sam than to hang around the
| cities idle and fight and get nothing
but sentence from tho courts. II
YOU fight and die for your country,
/ you are honorcd and your deeds Of
: valor engraved on tho tablet OF love
! may rage, 1t will ever remain for tho
! world to read, even as they run, that
you, made the greatest sacrifice
known to man, for your country. So
let's be thankful it's no worse, for
! believe God is with us, and then who
! can be against us. "I[ceD on tho
sunny. side.' We will win. Tho
, colored race will come into its own.
Watch and pray and work, but don't
! 80 10 sleep on either job.
