You should buy bond because this is your war.
It isn't war to few Americans from disgrace,
but to save all Americans from disgrace
you have no interest in this war you have interest
in this country and you ought not to live in it.
It your business and duty buy bond because you
and your % and your property made safe by the blood
that others are shedding upon the batleheldS.
You should buy bond because your country that asks
for the money NEEDS it. That country has the power to
TAKE IT.
But it is poor man in spirit well in purse that
will not give to his country without compulSiOn
II you are Christian, you should buy bond because
you profess belief in the teaching Gan my
brothers.
your brother were rising his life for you and asked
not gift but lOan to be repaid and loan to help him buy
weapons to fight FOR YOU You would lend to your brother
nyOu are Jew from whom the Christians borrowed
their belief in God you should buy bonds to the last dol
lar For every bond you buy for your country America nails
another lie that enVious hypoctes have told about you
Everybody knows that the Jew takes Of his
Nothing that the Jew has is dear to him the country
whose constitution guarantees him freedom that other
tries have denied the nation to which the Jew has
tbuted so much and which has done so much for him
An atheist agnostc says: 81 do not know Prove
something and I'll believe you he could be taken over
the rough ground through the shell holes the front line
he would have proved: First that there is hell here
earth and that the Kaiser created IT, second that there
heaven with peace and your money spent for bonds
will realize it.
ALI should buy these bonds prove that our nation
twisted rope Of STEEL every part adding strength to every
other part-not rope of sand.
All should buy bonds because every force that mpes
do any good deed acts with double force in the selling Of
these bonds.
IF vou have chiIdren and have mt bouot bonds To be
spent avengng the deaths of many children in Europe
you right look faces of your children
Hyou have mother and father you cannot say that you
honor them you do not honor your country and work for
your country's honor.
For the country is the mother and the father of all
Man that will sacrifice for his country in need would
sacrifice for his mother in sicknesslet him deceive him
self about it.
You should buy bonds because money army what
powder to the bullet because failure in this would
such humiliation disaster and shame would make
every decent Indifferent whether he live die.
If a man slapped you in the face if he struck your
mother he murdered your child would you be willing
lend little money wipe out and undo the insult the
murder?
1t is not strange that many poor actually
suffering want to make good their bond subscriptions
The strange thing is that there should be anywhere
hind any cold face Indifference selfish refusal when the
country says, "Give your hand lend your money
pledge my honor to pay back you and will spend to
save your honor"
Buy Liberty BOnds-this is your last day
