THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
(By E. N. Nourse)

In the. article published last week on
thie same subject il was forcibly
shown that We are the richest nation
the world has ever known; that our
demoefaey, founded on equal rights,
has been openly dened by the German
government; that the American peo-
pie stand ready TO defend the prin-
ciples Of freedom upon which this- -gUv-
eminent ID founded; that war must
be our principal business until we win
and that It will require larEe amounts
Of n,oney subscribed ~ IN ths people

lemperpr has made TIE boast that A.
ter Germany has dominated Ill Europe
that II will then Owe ita attention to
the Western Hemisphere. We are
therefore now fighting hand in hand
With our allies, not only for the pres
ervation Of world democracy, but our
democracy. We must overwhelmingly
defeat the military power ct Berlin
lest later ON we will have to fight
!, alone when Germany picks the day.
. We know what the reputation Of the
German military power 10 and has
been for half century, Does
"might make right" because the em-
pen1r says 80? Can the German em-
peror give any phusible excuse Tor
the manner in which the present war
I IL and has been waged7 Is there any
intrigue, deceit, cruelty, barbarity Or
inhumanity that has been cveriooked? /?
Has the United States been shown any
preference by Germany In the treat
i ment accorded her and her citizens
up to the present time3 Have We
already forgotten the Lusitania and
other defeneeless ships which were

II We don't win this war? Surely the
