many to have a Christian minister

to stir in the hearts Of his congrega-

AMERICAN WOMEN CALLED
INTO COUNTRY'S SERVICE
Must Conserve Every Resource, Save
Labor and Money to Make Fourth
Liberty Loan Success.
BY MRS. ANTOINETTE FUNK,
Vice Chairman Woman'a National Lib
erty Loan Committee.

Vice Chairman Woman's National Lib
erty Loan Committee.
This is Il war that belongs to women.
1t Is not being waged for conquest,
nor for glory. nor for any empty rite,
nor for material gain. 1t is Il war for
humanity, and wherever men. women
and children are concerned it is w0m-
ans business
In this great world crisis that is
now upon us the president of the
United States has called American
women into the service of the world.
Our allies remain unconquered be-
cause of the devotion. herOt-m and
sacrifice of their women. We, too,
shall prove invincible with the com
plete conservation of OCr wOmanhOod.
When Secretary McAdoo called the
women Of America to do their part in
financing the world. he reminded them
that while battles were won by men,
wars We're won by money, and that
money could only be raised With the
aid OF the nations women.
Women do not often handle large
sums of money. but giant army of
them hold a large per cent Of the
fifties and the hundreds of the last
Liberty loan. Those with small saw
ings, too small to invest in high class
securities are purchasing the finest Sc
curities under the sun in the market
of the world
Money alone will not win the war
For, IL all the gold in the world were
placed in q shining heap, 1t would be
useless unless converted into terms of
labor
Labor means everything that we
must use in the war-foOd, clothing.
munitions. ships. houses, railroads. all
the vital elements that make up the
everyday life Of individuals and OF the
nation.
Woman must conserve labor as she
,conServes food. No woman has right
to anything to wear or TO eat, to look
ut or TO listen TO- that she can pos
sihly do without. All of these take
labor TO produce and detract from the
necessities of war.
When the government has reached
out its hand and laid it on the lives
of It's men nothing else matters. When
our men have been asked to give all
life itself if need be-nothing that we
ean do or suffer really matters.
What do the graces Of life matter
when our plowshares are beaten into
swords? What does the quality OF
food or the kind Of clothing matter
when men and women must ask them
selves. is my boy hungry?' rs he
frozen?" We can give nothing that
nas not already been given by the
youth that has marched out Of our
homes.
Liberty bonds are as good as coin Of
the realm, but If they were not and
America needed the money, the women
OF the nation would frame those bonds
and hand them down To their chill
dren's children as certificates of 10y
atty.

LIBERTY LOAN A TEST
OF AMERICAN SINCERITY
A Test OF Real Sacrifice to "Do With
out" So That Money May
Do Its Bit
BY COL. S. BURKHARDT, JR.,
Commandant Fourteenth Division,
Cannn Custer Michinan

Camp Custer, Michigan.
On the battIefieIds of France ana
Italy and Belgium there are more than
a million and a half of American sol
diers, who are watching with great in
terest the results of the fourth Lib
erty Loan. They will insist up0m
knowing whether the men and women
safe at home are freely dedicating
their dollars to the cause of Liberty,
or whether they feel they have per-
formed their duty when they have
noted the days gains made by the
American army.
The fourth Liberty Loan will be 4
further test of the sincerity Of the
American people in their belief in the
principles of democracy. It will test
the willingness of the American poopl"
to really sacrifica-to edo Without"
that their money may be loaned to
our government to be used for the
unceasfng and relentless battering
down of the German defPnses.
The huge sum asked for in the
fourth loan should merely strengthen
amount the government wants. To
fall short of the full amount would he
a national disgrace and a comfort to
the kaiser There can be no excuse
for failure, for never has our coUn-
try been enriched by such crops Of
wheat and oats and corn and every
product Of the soil. Never has the
wage of the great army of industrial
workers been so high.
1t is the duty of every able-bodied
man and woman to find some way Of
buying twice as many bonds rs ever
before The men in uniform are fight
ing and suffering for those who stay
at home. They will buy their full
share of bonds as well, as they have
in the past. Your part is to he with
them with your hearts and your souls
and your money.
