Nation Artists Make Posters
for Third Liberty Loan Campaign
Nine Million Are Now Reaching Committees for

"HROUGHOUT the United States,
Hawaii, Alaska, Porto Rico, Cuba,
the Philippines and "Somewhere
in France" some 100000 posters are
daily reaching the hands Of various
Liberty Loan committees for distribu-
tion as the first big step in the COM
ing third Liberty Loan campaign. The
drawings are contributions of artists
of many schools and sections, ranging
from night school student to the most
widely known illustrators. Work on
the posters was begun early in Janu-
ary, and every government facility
employed to expedite their completion.
Paper, coal and other necessary
agencies in their production we're all
obtained with the special effort re-
quired at this time.
With the enthusiasm artists neces-
sarily bring to their work, these con-
tributors to the Liberty Loan have ex-
pressed in almost every conceivable
form the ideals Of the patriot. Three
of the designs, by Raleigh, Pennell and
Paus, were donated through the sub
committee on pictorial publicity of the
Committee on Public Information, OF
which Charles Dana Gibson is chair
man. All the designs used we're fur
nished without charge to the Treasury
Department.

~ CONOMY in the consumption
of all the things needed by
the nation for the winning of
the war-the releasing Of labor and
materials from the pursuits Of peace
to the business Of war-these funda-
mental necessities of our war pro-
gramme must be understood by all
our people if we are to put our whole
strength behind our men in France.
We must work and save as never
before in our history. We must in
crease our output and reduce our do
mestic consumption Of all necessary
products, in order that there may be
great, increasing volume Of war
materials going forward to our
armies and the Allies who are fight
ing side by side with US. AS the
people reduce their personal con-
sumption they will be enabled to
finance the war by lending their saw
ings to the government, while at the
same time they help themselves by
increasing their personal resources
and income.
The economic establishments neces-
STATED by the transformation of an
unarmed and peaceful nation into a
formidable armed combatant have
caused unavoidable losses and hard

avoided in time Of war than sacri-

5000, To Be
Distributed

Besides these six reproduced in The
Tribune, there are many other notable
artistic contributions to the third Lib
erty Loan campaign. Conspicuous
among them is a special Leyendecker
poster produced for the Boy Scouts of
America. This organization sold more
than $100,000,000 worth of Liberty
bonds last October. A million of these
posters in eight colors, showing a Boy
Scout kneellng before an heroic figure
of Liberty, will be distributed by the
Scouts in this campaign.
Another of these is the spirited
painting, cover the Top for You," by
Sydney Rosenberg. An initial order
for a million of this design was placed
several weeks ago and they will be
ready for distribution in every Federal
Reserve District at the opening of the
campaign. In addition to imbuing the
soldier figure in the design with un-
usual vlrility, the artist has succeeded
in putting much action into the in
animate parts of the painting. The
flag which the soldier carries is filled
with brisk wind and is silhouetted
against the intense blackness that i'm
mediately precedes dawn.
In addition to the 100000 posters
that have been prepared for the third
Liberty Loan campaign there have
been prepared for distribution 5,00O,-
600 window stickers, 5o,0O0,00O poster
stamps and 100000 third Liberty
Loan buttons.

no advocacy or acceptance by the

America. Business must be read

What is of superlative Importance
in the readjustment that must take
place is that our people shall be i'm.
pressed with the necessity of econo-

every other thing which constitutes
a drain upon the available supplies,

Pennell Symbolized
Air and Naval Forces

What is probably one of the most
powerful of the poster designs created
in this country since the beginning of
the war is the lithograph etching of
Joseph Pennell, the renowned Philadel-
phia marine artist. The design shows
an enormous battleship in dock, with
aeroplanes circling overhead. 1t con-
stitutes a pictorial recognition of the
nations aerial and naval forces The
scene about the dock is one of imposing
war activity. Pencils own caption for
the poster, "The Sinews Of War;" is
particularly fitting.
In order that there might be no in
eQualities in the reproduction Of the
drawing, Pennell himself personally
supervised the work.
Howard Chandler Christy, competent
critics say, has outdone his previous
efforts in his contribution of the stir
ring poster, Fight or Buy Bonds" He
depicts a modernized spirit of victory,
bearing aloft an American flag and
challenging the patriotism Of the coun-
try for the advancing column of Ameri
can soldiers in the background. The

The plan offers the most direct
incentive to economic and save
ever offered to the people Of the
country. When the government
makes it possible for every one 10
know that by saving 25 cents which
otherwise would have been wasted
he can invest that 25 cents in gov

objective to which each ones
economy may be directed. In Other
words, it is possible to transmuts

that his economy is producing a con.
crete result advantageous to him.

forward successfully unless the
people of the United States econo-
mize in every possible direction, save
their money and lend it to the gov
ernment. By saving money they
give up some Of their needless pleas
ures; they reduce their demand upon
the general supply of food, clothing
and other materials in the country,
thus releasing thereby that much for
! the use of our own armies and the
armies and civilian populations of
the nations which are fighting the
common danger with us.
They are at the same time in
creasing their own material pros
perity by their savings, and they are
directly helping their government by
lending it the money with which it
can buy the necessary supplies and
command the necessary services to
make our fighting forces stronger
and more effective in the field, and
this means an earlier victory for
American arms.
The great difficulty is to impress
this lesson of economy upon the
American people. 1t will require
widespread propaganda and constant
effort. With this in view, it was my
privilege to suggest to the Congress
the raising of $2,000,00o, by the
sale of war savings stamps anc
thrift stamps, so that the American
people would have the opportunity
as we'll as the direct encouragement
to economize and save money by put
ting within their reach the opportu-
nifty of lending their savings, in such
small amounts even as 25 cents, tt
their own government.
A Privilege for Those
OF Small Means
We have therefore organized {
war savings campaign upon a wide
scale and shall bring to the atten
ton Of every man, woman and chile
in the country the privilege now of
fered to them of serving Themselves
and serving their country by de
posting their savings with the gov
ernment of the United States upo1

The government will accept thes,

tions for them in the form of wa
savings stamps and thrift stamps.
