COME ON!

That as long as the American army
remains in active service in the field
there can be but one answer 20 the
peace movement flashed out Satur-
day by the Nauen wireless. is the
belief Of the Augusta Woman's Di-
vision Of the Fourth Liberty loan.
They feel that just so long as the
American soldier is using his gun,
the American woman should be US
ing every faculty to do her Dit. In
the face Of this rather surprising
course of action on the part Of Ger
many, there can be no answer so
ster1. and so direct as an over-sub-
scription of the Fighting loan.
Before this last move by Germany,
Mrs, William G. McAdoo. chairman
of the national Woman's Liberty
Loan Committee wired the following
message to all women county chair
man: THE President has called on
the nation to over-subscribe the
Fourth Liberty loan as an imperative
plete victory. The national Woman's
Liberty Loan committee. appreclat-
ing what you have already done. call
upon you to take that message home
to your community. An over-sub-
scription of quota in your district
must be the personal responsibility
of every Liberty loan worker
Mrs. Guy P. Gannett, chairman OF
Kennebec county. who received this
message on Saturday before the
German peace talk. issued Sunday
the following statement to the Wo-
men of Kennebec county: Because
of the possible disastrous effects OF
Germany's latest peace move we
must exert ourselves more than ever
before. We must not relax our ef-
forts until Kennebec county has
over-subscribed this loan. l hope ev-
cry member of the Woman's Dlvls-
ion will devote herself this week to
the drive. They should not hesitate
to solicit people who have already
been solicited, urging them to IN
crease their subscriptions because
of the grave danger that Germany's
peace efforts may cause the drive 10
fail. The best answer that the Wo-
men of Kennebec county can make
to Germany's peace appeal is big
ver-subscription."
Mrs. Paul d. Sargent. local chair
man of the Women's Division while
reporting sS050 in bonds subscribed
through her working committees on
Saturday, issued the following state
ment to the women of Augusta:
DO not be Influenced by German
peace talk Buy bonds. Let every wo-
mems team redouble it's efforts 70
place bonds during the next six days
A total of $40, 700 in bonds have
been subscribed through Mrs. Sar-
gents committee. to date. Mrs. Grace
M. Wing, State publicity chairman,
announced on Friday that the wo-
men of Maine lad raised s3oO0,0o0.
The government expects them 10
raise s6.0O0.000.
Mrs. Guy Z. Gannett reported work
through the whole country in full
swing with big results, though many
of the districts are still to be heard
from. The three million reported from
the State was exclusive Of Aroostook
county, which as yet has made no re-
port.
More men, more ships, more guns,
more bond buyers. are the great
needs Of the moment, but the great
est need OF all is more bond buyers.
To skimp and save to buy BOND
is woman's bit.
