" --that Day Is
Germany's DOOM

There is one SIMPLE easy way by which every family
IN the United States can stand up and be cOunted-Dy
which every man. woman and child can enlist in the hun
dred million, all-American army which the Germans
dread
One of the most significant utterances made during
the entire war made by prominent German Official
when America cast her lot with the allies:
owe do not fear the American soldiers, because they
cannot arrive in time what fear is the intelligence and
devotion Of hundred million Americans trained to a
faith in individual initiative The day that those hundred
millions act as one, that day is Germany's DOOM
Today Germany is fighting with a new and more
desperate energy because she fears that the American sol
ders will arriver IN time.
But Germany still refuses to believe that hundred
million people will "act as one"
How we prove it to her? How can we strike to
the heart of the Hun? How we convince the kaiser
that the day of his doom approaches?
That way is to lend our money to our country.
BY War Saving Stamp; costing you until February
|, 1918, SIP, worth So on January l, 1928.
If you cannot pay for it in immediate cash buy u.
S. Thrift Stamp for 25 CENTS and keep on buying them
until you have 1G. Then add few cents in cash and ex-
change them for the War Saving Stamp.
Begin to do this now. Save every cent you can and
put it into these stamps
The money will be used Immediately to provide guns
ammunition food clothing and other supplies for our sol
diers and sailors.
This will be bad news for the laiser-the worst he has
ever heardor it will prove to him that we are ready to
act as one 1t will prove that not only our men, but
every dollar we have behind country It will prove
that we are in the to win and that we shall stav in
II until we do win. 1t will prove that we are thoroGhv
UNANIMOUSLY determined that country our homes and
our loved shall longer lie under the dark menace
Oh German domination and cnsavcmcnt.
