Secretary McAdoo gave out this
statement:
THE people of the United States
may well felicitate themselves upon
the triumphant success OF the third
Liberty loan. II is a most hearten-
ing manifestation OF their patriotism
and of their infexible determina-
tion to support our gallant army and
navy until victorious decision for
America is achieved.
Il should like to thank the thou
sands OF men and women throughout
the country, for their effective as
sistance and cooperation In this
great victory behind the lines with
out which a victory on the front
can not be achieved. 1
Il earnestly hope that every one
who has bought Liberty bonds will
try TO keep them for the period OF the
war at least The slogan now should
be Keep your Liberty bonds. No
one does his share fully II he merely
buys bond and then sells It i'm
mediately below par on the market.
II each and every purchaser keeps
his Liberty bond he helps to keep
the credit Of the government by
maintaining credit for the bonds at
par, which is a very helpful thing In
wartime" ="
