Please accept my warmest cor
gratulations on the magnificent sue
cuss of the third Liberty loan. 1t is
triumph of sound war financing. and
s highly creditable to the intelli-
gence and patriotism of the American
people. l hope that every purchaser
of bonds will keep them for his OWL
good and for his country's sake. t.
the patriotic men and women of the
Liberty loan committees, and organi-
zations throughout the country who
have served with such extraordinary
usefulness and enthusiasm. too much
praise cannot he given. l wish I
could express to each one of them
personally my grateful appreciation
but as this is impossible would YOU
kindly send this message from me tc
all the Liberty loan committees:
Great are the resources of Americ
but greater are the unconouerable
soul and spirit of her people,
Mrs. ". G. McAdoo's letter is as
follows.
Washington. May IS, 1918.
Dear Madam Chairman:
i am writing you at this time to
express to YOU the appreciation of the
National Wowan's Liberty loan corr
mlttee for the service that you have
rendered in the Liberty loan cam.
pa'gn just closed. VIII you not alsr
extend the congratulations and abpre.
cation of this committee to tn local
chairman whom you appointed for tho
thlrd Liberty loan, and who have so
1alhf@lly carried out the part assign
ed to them?
The members of the national com
mlttee want you to know that we
realize the many sacrifices which VIC
men ma ke in devoting their time and
energy to the Liberty loan cam
nalgns, and that we fully appreciate
the splendid spirit in which these
sacrifices are made. That the faith
ful and untiring efforts of the men,
ners OF this nationwide organization
nave borne fruit a thousand-fold Is
evidenced by the returns receivod
from our state chairman.
The reports of the amount Of
bonds sold by the women in the
various states are not complete. but
such figures as are available at This
tlme show the results of the wo-
mems work in the third Liberty loar
TO have exceeded the highest expecta-
tlons of our state and federal reserve
from our state chairmen.
I'm this campaign, as in the two
preceding ones, tthe fact has again
been brought out that the greatest
glory OF the women's work lies not in
the amount of bonds sold, proportion.
ately high though this is-but in
the large numbers Of subscriptions
secured. While the women's commit
tees throughout the country have
some of the largest individual sub
scriptions to their credit, they have
been very largely instrumental in Sc
curing the smaller subscriptions
ones which are hardest to get, but
which mean the most from the stand
point of the awakening of national
spirit. And it is perhaps in this
awakening Of the people to the neces-
sity of their support of the govern
ment in this crisis that the value OF
women's participation in financing
the war is most clearly demonstrated.
"The results of the last campaign
have more than justified the belief OF
the treasury department in the ability
of women to stand shoulder to should
er with men in organizing and con-
ducting the campaigns for the sale OF
Libe~tv bonds, and in their right to
the title, Equal Partners
With the personal appreciation OF
myself and the members of my entire
committee for your devotion to the
cause for which we are all striving,
I am,
yours most cordially,
(SigneG Eleanor W. McAdoo,
Mrs. W. G. McAdoo)
Chairman National Woman's Liberty
Loan Committee"
