ENLIST IN THE
VAR SAVINGS ARMY

Secretary McAdoo today issued the
following appeal in the war savings
campaign: "Over eight hundred
thousand of Americas sons are al
ready on the fields of France where
the bloodiest attacks of all history
are raging. They are suffering and
dying for US at home. They are Civ
ing their lives freely and heroically
to save America and liberties of man
kind. They need food, clothing and
arms. Everyone who buys war saw
ings stamps or signs pledge to save
and buy these stamps over period
ef time helps himself and helps di-
rectly every American hero In
France. Isn't this the least each pat
riot can do to enable our gallant
boys to fight VIGOROUSLY or to die
gloriously in the cause of humanity
and liberty? Let no one who genuine
ly loves America and wants to serve
fail to enlist in the great army of war
savers during the period ending June
g, 1918"
