Wilmington, Del.
subscriptions reported and estI-
mated up TO noon Thursday amount
TO four billion dollars. leaving at
least two billion dollars to complete
the Fourth Liberty Loan. Only two
DAYS are left within which to raise
this vast sum. No country on earth
but America could raise so vast
sum in so short time. Americans
can do it, and must do il. The desti-
uies of the world and the hopes
of civilization are centered upon
America. We shall fail in every
thing we have fought for and hope
10 gain in this war If the Fourth
Liberty Loan is defeated.
Let every true American citizen
today examine himself under the
white light of patriotism and say
whether or not he has done his
utmost in this emergency. The
highest obligation Of duty and
patriotism command every true
American To go immediately 10 his
niitee and subscribe TO the limit Of
his ability to the Fourth Liberty
Bonds. Don't delay; don't wait to
be urged; be as quick 10 do your
part in the Fourth Liberty Loan
battle as our soldiers in France are
quick to obey the orders to charge
the enemy. Buy Liberty Bonds on
the installment plan If you cannot
buy them for cash. Every patriotic
bank will help you if every patriotic
citizen will do his duty today.
Victory for the Fourth Liberty
Loan is certain. The continued
victories Of our armies in Europe,
the certain defeat Of our enemies
and the glorious triumph of the
cause of Liberty depends upon
what American people do in the re-
naming Two days Of the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign.
