FOR THE LIBERTY LOAN
Rising Baltimore Attorney. " no
studied Law in This City, Pleads
For Subscribers.

One of the most enthusiastic
sneakers to help bring the Third LID
erty Loan up to the desired amount
is Mr.. ]. Warren Burgess, one OF
The promising young attorneys OF
Baltimore. Mr.. Burgess, who Is
brother of Mr.. John H. Burgess, Jr
read law in Cambridge. in the office
of Judge. w. Laird Henry
Mr.. Burgess has been very active
in the sale of Liberty Loan 3onds
and the following is one OF the ad
dresses he delivered recently:
General Pershing, on good Friday
offered to the French and British
Governments over two hundred
thousand American souls to hell
keep the German rulers out Of the
temples of liberty of sacred France
and tonight; what are we golng &c
offer the American Government &c
help keep the rulers of Germany out
of the temples of liberty of the
world?
You will recall how our Savior
drove the money changers out OF the
temples of God, so it is going to be
up to the American boys and the
American people to drive the mon
ster. the Kaiser, out of the temples
of France, Great Britain and Amerl-
ca. God knows our Yankee boys IN
France. and those that are going ov-
er, will do their full share, fighting
on and on and giving their lives I'M
til the German gods are Irampled III
the dust We are not willing &c
stop there, but are going on until We
make the Kaiser and his rulers see
the American Stars and feel the
American Stripes. When that Is
done, our purpose will have been ac-
complished, anu not before.
Our boys will fight on to Berlin
so we people back home must give
and give until our last dollar is
spent that our sons shall not have
died in vain. Men alone cannot and
will not win this war.
l believe the supreme power kept
the Western Hemisphere curtaineo
off for over a thousand years in or
der that this country should be free
from Kings rule, so that the people
could settle in America and set up q
Government of liberty, where al
would have the same opportunities
and enjoy the same freedom of life

tain was drawn, the down-trodden
people Of other countries landed,and
set up the greatest and gran0est Gov
eminent in the whole world. Since
such a Government has been estab-
lished, it is up to the American PEG
pie to see that it shall not be shaken
or crushed, and that those who dieo
in order that we might live in a free
country, did not die in vain. 1t is
up to us to preserve this liberty, ano
the only way that we, who do not e
to the front to fight to help maintain
this freedom, is to lay all our money
and resources at the command OF
our great and grand leader, Wood
row Wilson. No sacrifice is toe
great to lay at the altar of liberty
in order that we may carry the wal
on to victory. We can't stop by do
ing our bit, we must do our best
Don't think because you have donat-
ed a hundred dollars to the Rec
Cross, or some other good cause, you
have done your bit; you must dc
more than that; give until it hurts
Be like the Canadian man who gave
and gave until his bank account hao
been overdraWn, and when he was
asked for more. he said, How can
stop giving money when my brothers
and sons are giving their lives?'
That is the kind of stuff the boys in
the trenches want to know is back
ing them up.
No matter what sacrifice we make
in helping France, we can never re
pay her for the sacrifice she made in
helping us to win our independence
You know when CORVALLIS surren
dered at Yorktown, America had on
ly five thousand soldiers, while
France, under Lafayette, had over
seven thousand. and if it had moi
been for France coming to our aid
there is a possibility that We would
not have won the liberty which we
so proudly claim today Now shall
we let Germany crush liberty from
France and sit idly by while the
temples of liberty, justice and hui
mainly are desecrated, and not give
