women MUST help
RAISE WAR FUNDS
Lovers of Home and Country
Called to the ColorS.
ALL CAN BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Wives, Sisters, Mothers, sweethearts
Never Before Called Upon to Play
Such a Vastly Important Part
= Lend Your Money.
(By DOROTHY DIx.)


ter how many you have bought before,
stretch point and buy another,
You can't shoulder gun and go OH
and fight for your country, as the men
are doing. You can't put on nurses
uniform and so and nurse wounded
soldiers or drive an ambulance or work
in a munition factory, as many other
women are doing, but you can DO your
bit by backing up these other men ana
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; IL
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 ana
vet more money to carry on war, and
this war is to be the war OF the long
est pocketbook. 1t Is the last ton OF
bombs, the last load Of shrapnel, ana
the last big gun that will thunder out
victory. Therefore, If we want to win
this war, we must find more money,
and it 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 tre-
mendous part as in this war. Never
before have women had to give so
many of their husbands and sons ana
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.
It is because this war touches WON
en- more nearly in every way than any
other war has ever done, because more
} women's hearts have been broken by
II. more women impoverished anC
, made homeless, more mothers have
! seen their babes slain before their eyes
} more mothers have beheld their yount
daughters ravished, that women mus
, use their utmost effort to put an enc
to war.
l Women must see to it that there II
never another war to lay waste to tn
r world and drench it with women
tears, and this can only be accomplish
ed by our winning this war.
