Wives, Sisters, Mothers, sweethearts
Never Before Called Upon to Play
sueh a Vastly important Part
LEND Your Money.
tRy DOROTHY DIX

buy q Liberty DOnu, lauleS' NO mat
ter how many you have bought before,
stretch point and buy another.
You can't shoulder gun and go on
and fight for your country, as the men
are doing. You can't put on nurses
uniform and go and nurse wounded
soldiers or drive an ambulance or work
In munition factory, as many other
women are doing, but you can do your
bit by backing up these other men and
women, who are risking their lives to
defend you with your money.
Without guns and munitions, with
out food and clothes, without hospital
supplies, the army In France is just
SO many sheep led to the slaughter; II
we let them die for the lack Of the
things that money buys, their blood
Is on our heads, and our crime against
them will be blacker than the Boches,
because they trusted us.
1t takes money, money, money and
yet more money to carry on war, and
this war Is to be the war Of the long
bombs, the last load Of shrapnel, and
the last big gun that will thunder out
victory. Therefore, II we want to win
this war, we must find more money,
and 1t is particularly up to us women,
who can fight with Our hands, to
fight with our dollars, and pour them
like water at Uncle Sans feet.
Women's Greatest Sacrifices.
In no war in all history have wom-
en- been called upon to play such ire
mendous part as In this war. Never
before have women had to give so
many Of their husbands and sons and
brothers to be cannon fodder. Never
have women before gone into the
trenches and fought side by side with
men. Never have they gone into fac
tories to make munitions of war with
their own hands. Never have they
had to take upon their shoulders the
heavy burdens of hard physical labor
that men laid down when they went
forth to battle. And never before did
their country call on women to make
such sacrifices as they are called on
to make now.
1t Is because this war touches wOm-
On more nearly In every way than any
other war has ever done, because moro
women's hearts have been broken by
it, more women impoverished and
made homeless, more mothers have
seen their babes slain before their eyes.
more mothers have beheld their young
daughters ravished, that women must
use their utmost effort to put an end
to war.
Women must see to 1t that there Is
never another war to lay waste to the
world and drench 1t with women's
tears, and this can only be accomplish
ed by our winning this war.
And to do that we must have money.
So, let every woman who has some
loved one at the front buy Liberty
bond. Let every woman who has a
hearthstone that she would keep safe
buy Liberty bond. Let every wom-
an who has babe that she loves, or
q young daughter whose purity she
would guard. buy Liberty bond.
Reasons Arc Numerous.
Let every woman who has particle
of sympathy in her soul for the for
lorn women and children of Belgium
and France buy Liberty bond. Let
every woman who believes In justice
and freedom. and right buy Liberty
bond. Let every woman who hates
war and Graves for peace buy Lib
erty bond.
The trip that you had planned, the
new frock you were going to get, how
pitifully small is the sacrifice Of these
for the sake of those who are sacri
ficing their lives to protect you and
yours.
Buy all the Liberty bonds you can
and then go in debt for some more, 81
shall you prove yourself worth,
daughter of Uncle Sam.
This Is "a time when money talk
and tells the. kind Of a patriot you are
The woman who hasn't bunch Of
Liberty bonds II she's rich, or WHIT
isn't paying on Liberty bond II she'i
poor, is a traitor to her country an(
should hang her head in shame ever!
time she passes man in khaki o.
feels the fold of the red. white. anC
blue floating over her unworthy head
