LOYAL AMERICANS.
TREASURE vow YET UNTITLED,
WILSON SAYS, URGING SUP
PORT OF VICTORY LOAN.
Gables From Paris an Earnest Appeal
For Ready Response to Fifth and
Final Issue to Free World
From MiIitarism.

Washington. New evidence of
Americas purpose 10 redeem in full
the pledges made on entering the war
was asked of the nation on April 10,
by President Wilson, who urged full
subscription of the S4.J00,O00,0O0 Vic
tory Liberty loan issue. Sixty thou
sand men who gave their lives in
France have redeemed the covenant of
blood made two years ago. the presi-
dent said, but the pledge of treasure
remains yet to be fulfilled.
President Wilson's message in full
follows
For two anxious years the Ameri-
can people have striven to fulfill the
task of saving our civilization. BY the
exertion of unmeasured power they
have quickly won the victory without
which they would have remained in
the field until the last resource had
been exhausted. Bringing to the con-
test "A strength of spirit made doubly
strong by the righteousness of their
cause, they devoted themselves I'M
sweryingly to the prosecution of their
undertaking with the full knowledge
that no conquest lay in their path eX-
cepting the conquest of right.
To-day the world stands freed from
the threat of militarism which has so
long weighed upon the spirit and the
labor of peaceful nations.
But as yet we stand only at the
Threshold of happier times. To enter
we must fulfill to the utmost the en-
gagements we have made. The Vic
tory Liberty loan is the Indispensable
means. Two years ago we pledged our
lives and fortunes to the cause for
which we have fought. Sixty thousand
of our strongest sons have redeemed
for us that pledge of blood. To redeem
in full faith the promise of this sacr-
rifice we now must give this new evil
dence of our purpose
With the formal opening of the cam
paign still nearly two days away, sub
scription pledges began to pour into
the treasury on Saturday, along with
predictions of success perhaps even
more optimistic than those accompany
ing the four previous bond issues.
