Editor s-Graphic:-It is here
sy to say that Germany cannot be
beaten. Germany can be beaten; Ger
many must be beaten; Germany will
be beaten!
A man who refuses to do his part in
this crisis repudiates that utterance
of Gen. Pershing. Germany viii be
crushed only if we stand by the presi-
dent, and that means that every man
must do the thing that he can do best
with red-blooded loyalty and enthu-
siasm. The force of America, spelled
by the sword and syllabled by the can
non! That is the only speech that
Germany can understand.
The beast of frightfulness has got
the British and French with their
backs to the wall. God grant that our
boys will not be pushed back, and |
know that they will not be pushed back
if they are supported by our dollars
in the Third Liberty Loan.
When you put your money into the
Liberty Loan, you are making one Of
the best possible investments. You
will receive a good return of interest
on your money, but far more impro-
tant than this, you viii help in vital
way to win the war, and the war must
be won to make the world safe place
for you and every other man who loves
human freedom.
Realize that every dollar you put
into the Liberty Loan viii help to win
the war against a crafty and cruel
enemy who seeks with all the methods
of barbarism and modern efficiency to
dominate and enslave you for all time
to come.
Realize while it is yet time that ev-
erything else is secondary to the win
ming of this war; that you must win or
go down in defeat that will put the
world back for centuries and sweep
away from you individually everything
in life which you hold dear. Do not
blind yourself to the real facts and
far-reaching issues Of this great con-
fiict.
Don't shirk, don't hesitate. Don't
delay. Do it today! AT once! NOW.
Set your money to work and help in
this great struggle for liberty and
righteousness.
Put every dollar into this Liberty
Loan that you can possibly gather to-
gether. Do not lull yourself into the
belief that it will succeed just as well
without you. Your money is needed.
Your individual dollars are just as nee
essary as those Of the millionaire.
Your help and cooperation, are vital to
the winning of the war. Put all the
money you can into the Liberty Loan.
Do it for your own sake, for your
country's sake, for humanity's sake,
for Gods sake!
In no way can we. better evinee our
devotion to our home, our nation, and
a1-fffrvf .r7fuerry Loan.
Let US prove to both out allies and to
our foes that we are unanimous in our
determination to carry his righteous
war to successful end. Every Liber-
ty bond bought gives strength to our
boys and encourages the government.
Let's dig Deep" everv man doing
his part. Dig until it hurts and all
will be well with the worl and thef
that befell the Napoleons, and the
