We are fighting for the liberty of the world,
for the triumph of our ideals of democracy and
self-government over the last great advocate of
force upholding injustice. We are buying with
our Liberty Loans the security and JOY of our
people for generations to come. No price could
be too high to pay for such a victory-no cost
too great for such a purchase.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-10-04

The supreme moments of our struggle with
Germany have now come.
We have carried Our first armies across three
thousand miles of ocean and joined the issue
of battle with the military power of a nation

adequate beginning for our gigantic task.
But it is only our beginning. We must follow
it with greater energy and support It with
increasing power. Men, munitions, ships and
supplies must go to Europe in a larger and larger
stream. We must redouble our blows and add
constantly to the strength of those blows, if
our initial effort is not to be wasted.
