Now we must buy Liberty bonds Now,

we must support them to the utmost with our
cash and our credit What good will our
money be to us if we allow them to lose?

The best time to protect our free land and
our homes is now, while we can. Inc best
time to support our own armies, ana our
allies, with ships, and food, and ammunition,
mean victory. Miracles Of mobilization,
equipment, transportation, and supplies tor
our own armies and help for our allies have
been wrought by means of the First and Sec
0nd Liberty Loans. But the greatest needs,
the most imperative must now be met by this
Third Liberty Loan. More and more urgent,
the appeals are coming to US from over
there" A few days ago, this message was
flashed across the ocean from one of the high
military authorities Of France:
ut is not enough that your soldiers
are fighting and shedding their blood at
our side; not enough that you are moving
splendidly with your limltless resources
in men and material. You must do bet
ter still. YOU MUST COMP WITH ALL
YOUR MIGHT AND SPEED.
'Think of yourselves as under an i'm
mediate, terrible, and personal menace.
>as If 4 barbarous, cruel invasion were
e coming to occupy your land as it has
already devasted ours That is what 1t
means. and you will not be doing your
utmost until you see and feel it in those
" precise terms. -.
Make MO mistake; just such terrible and
cruel invasion, with all it's barharity and de-
struction, actually threatens us If we DO not
insure the victory of our armies in France.
Plans are ready and waiting, and insolent
threats have been made again and again Dy
the Kaiser and his Prussians. They need the
wealth of America to pay their own huge war
costs, and they will seize it if we 40 not pre-
vent them. Billions for our armies and our
allies. but not dollar for the Hun! Refusal,
neglect, insufficient effort to subscribe now
for the Third Liberty Loan will be an invita-
ton to the Hun to ravish and loot American
cities and homes 49,, .].%>.
" President Wilson spoke straight to each
one Of us when he said, "The supreme test OF
the nation has come" Subscription, to the
point of sacrifice, for the Third Liberty Loan
is "a public, duty, dictate of patriotism,
which no one can now expect ever to be ex-
cused or forgiven for ignoring" ~.
The Literary Digest has no message OF its
own so serious, SO vital, on this war anniver-
sary, to put before it's millions OF American
readers as this call Of the nations supreme
need for patriotism and unselfish service IN
the purchase. of Liberty bonds. Now IS the
time to feel the red blood Of manhood and
womanhood beating hot in our veins with
single compelling purpose, single mastering
love. a spirit of sacrifice, that gives all to
America. Heroes at home must stand be-
hind the heroes in France to win this war.
