confidence in the policy of tn:
Government except every -four
years. And at the presidential
elections many different issues
are embodied ON each platform
! But at present We have an un
usual and direct opportunity fol
giving the Government a direct
and specific vote in favor of the
conduct of the war to lasting
victory. If we, as a people. sub
scribe as we should to the third
Liberty Loan, the administration
will have again complete proof of
the scountry's unanimity and fix
edress Of the purpose. and it will
also have the necessary where
withal to make that purpose eff
fective.
Ten million people voted for
victory in the first two Liberty
Loans. The voting should be
heavier nOw-more voters and
more money. This voice of the
people will he heard above the
confusion. 1t will maintain the
morale here and among our al
lies, and it will also be heard on
the other side of the trench linz
that marks the western front.
Every one who subscribed to
the first and second Liberty
Loans should subscribe to the
third loan, and should, in addi-
ton, see that at least one other
ipdivia.aal who has not so far
voted on the war does 80 this
time. Every one who owns a
Liberty Bond is now member
of Liberty Loan committee ana
should start an educational cam
paign among his neighbors.
Because a few soldiers have
dropped their burdens and fallen
out of line, it only means that
there are opportunities for others
to take their places. That is the
patriotic part of it and USUALLY
patriotism means sacrifice. In
this case it means profit. The
buying of the Liberty Bonds that
are offered for sale by those who
are dropping out Of the fight
gives the buyer not only the ordi-
nary interest but also an added
profit which has been, at times,
as high as 5 per cent. And th'
is obtained with perfect security.
Our experience in previous wars
is good indication for the fu-
ture
The year after our war with
Spain, the 8 per cent bonds

fair sold at a preium of $1O7 q |

These are anxious days for the
folks back home. Our boys are fight
ing the great battles at the front, and
the casualty lists are scanned eagerly
every day as they continue to grow
longer. No names of the local boys
have appeared in the lists to-date;
but they will be there. When it
comes, tears will be shed, and homes
saddened, but there will be no regrets
1t will be fond memory in the years
to come, for parents to know that their
sons were in the thick of the great
conflict, beating the unspeakable Hun
back and back until the laurels are
won and a victorious peace again
reigns over the world. There will be
no compromise, and the desperate
fighting will continue until Prussian
Autocracy is forever blotted from the
face of the earth no matter how long
it may take. The blood of thousands
of brave American boys will drench
the once fair land of "Sunny France,
but it will be given freely and heroi-
cally. No German soldier was ever
the equal of an American boy. With
all his military training from child
