AMERICAN BLOOD
VETS TRENCHES
Have YOU Proved Loyalty
BY Buying Liberty Bonds
BY JOHN LEIsH TAI

There are some tremendous lessons
to be learned from the present status
Of the world strife.
One Of the most momentous OF them
all is a lesson TO America and Amer
icans-a Lesson to you and me-a
personal lesson which we shall do
well TO accept in its fullest. personal
application. 1t is the lesson Of IN
DIvIDUAL INTEREST in this war.
The blood Of American soldiers is
wet upon the trenches, and the base
hospitals are ministering to Ameri-
can wounded. The shadow of the
Death Angel, made in Germany"
has fallen across your threshold and
mine. IL is no longer a thing de-
taehed and apart from US. We are
in 1t. The blood OF our sacrifice
reeks upon the altar. 1t is now a per.
sonal affair.
We-you and must back u boys
in the trenches. or forever cease to
claim rank and title as Americans.
The time has come when there are
but two classes in this country
Americana, who are for the wal in
which u boys are pouring out their
blood, and traitors, who are either
against the war or Indifferent toward
it. And indifference is now, If any.
thing, more despicable than antago-
nism.
There is one thing, At least, that
most Of US can do to prove our aware
ness of the situation and our loyalty
to those who are fighting OUR battles
over there; most of US can subscribe,
in some degree, to the Third Liberty
Loan.
1t is totally beside the issue tc
point out that these bonds are a good
investment. The investment feature
is not the thing in question. It may
require some sacrifice to convert pres
ent holdings into holding of Liberty
Loan Bonds. But as far as we car
manage it, you and l, if we accept tn,
great lesson Of the hour and take oul
part in the baptism Of American blooC
which is for the cleansing of the ma
: lions and the rehabilitation Of tn
J world. we must come across"-an,
! come quickly and with t~hankfulnes
7 that it is given to us to do even s.
little.
