AMERICANS! ANSWER, WITH p
ALL GOD HAS GIVEN YOU!
From The Literary Digest For April

but one fortune to give for my coun-
try" Then this nation, under God,
will have new birth of freedom" "
Then will our armies be invincible
and victorious. Then will this war
end with the triumph of justice and
human liberty, and peace will come
to stay forever.
Now we must buy Liberty Bonds.
Now, with our own boys fighting
in the trenches, we must support
them to the utmost with our cash
and our credit. What good will our
money be to us If we allow them to
lose? What shall our bank account,
or our income, or our borrowing
ability profit us If the Huns set their
heels on our shores and fasten their
clutches in our throats, as they
have boasted they will do?
The best time to protect our free
land and our homes is now, while
we can. The best time to support
our own armies, and our allies, with
ships, and food, and ammunition,
and re-enforcements is now, when
they will mean victory. Miracles
! of mobilization, equipment, transpor-
tatiCn, and supplies for our own ar
mics and help for our Allies have
been wrought by means of the First
and Second Liberty Loans. But the
greatest needs, the most imperative
must now be met by this Third Lib
erty Loan. More and more urgent
! the appeals are coming to us from
''over there" Afew days ago, this
message was flashed across the ocean
from one of the high military au-
! thorities of France:
! 1T is not enough that your SOL
diers are fighting and shedding their
blood at our side; not enough that
you are moving splendidly with your
limitless resources in men and ma
| terial. You must do better still
YOU MUST COME WITH ALI
YOUR MIGHT AND SPEED.
Think of yourselves as under an
! immediate, terrible, and personal
menace, as If a barbarous, cruel in.
Vasion were coming to occupy your
| land as it has already devastated
ours. That is what it means, anC
! you will not be doing your utmos
until you see and feel it in those
precise terms"
Make no mistake; just such ter
! rible and cruel invasion. with all it!
4 barbarity and destruction, actual!
threatens us if we do not insure tht
victory of our armies in France
Plans are ready and waiting, anC
again and again by the Kaiser ant
his Prussians. They need the wealth
of America to pay their own hug
war costs, and they will seize it /
we do not prevent them. Billions TO
ourour armies and our allies, but no
dollar for the Hun! Refusal
, neglect, insufficient effort to sub

Loan will be an invitation to tn
Hun to ravish and loot American
cities and homes.
