This is part of an allotment Of two
billion dollars which the president set
aside, when the Third Liberty Loan
was being planned, for those persons
who did not consider themselves able
to buy fifty or one hundred dollar
Liberty Bond, but who are just as pa
atriotic as those who. were able and
would like to have some small share
in helping the government finance this
great war.
June 2Sth, has been designated as
National pledge day and mighty cele-
brations have been planned for that
day all over the country and Wiscon-
sin will not trail behind in the gen.
eral enthusiasm. In view of this fact
Governor E. L. Philip has issued his
proclamation calling attention to the
needs of the country and appeals to
the people of Wisconsin for their hearty
cooperation in this campaign as in all
other things needed to win the war.
Here is his
Proclamation.
The stirring Memorial Day appeal Of
President Wilson calls attention to the
needs of our country in the present
great world war. It is an appeal to
the people of the United States for
hearty cooperation in all things need
ed to win the war.
The people Of Wisconsin have thus
far been most generous in their response
to the calls of the government. Our
young men of military age are joining
the ranks of the army with a spirit of
enthusiasm that gives assurance that
they will do their part as soldiers. In
our prompt and liberal contributions
of money and service this state is
winning the admiration Of the people
Of our country. The sacrifices that we
have thus far made will add brill
liant page to Wisconsin s war history.
However, the end of the war is not
yet in sight, and the splendid efforts
that we have made in the past must
continue. To meet the enormous ex-
penditures that are necessary to as
sure success, we must learn to regard
thrift as virtue that all must prac-
tice. We can well afford to forego
Injuries in order that we may save our
earnings and loan them to the govern
ment to meet the expenditures neces-
sary to carry on the war. Those who
can give but small amounts are doing
their Chit. /" The savings Of our chill
dren, the working boys and the work
ing girls, and the great army of wage
earners, both men and women, if in
vested in government loans will, in the
aggregate, amount to large sums and
will be a substantial aid
In order to give all an opportunity
to show their interest in our country
and its welfare, the government is Of
fering Thrift Stamps for sale, the
value of which has been well adver-
tised and is understood. The allotment
to this state of this class of security is
ifty-one million dollars. Our people
have thus far, by their liberal sub
scriptions, regularly exceeded the
amounts allotted to the state and I
sincerely hope that in this collection
the state will again meet the expecta-
tions of the government.
On June twenty eighth there will be
meetings held in every school house
in our state, and I earnestly request
that the people attend these meetings
and pledge themselves to purchase such
amounts of these securities that our
quota may be secured and that we
may again be able to send word to our
sons "over there that our people are
meeting every requirement. of the war.
Emanuel Z. Philip, Governor.
