SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1918. OUR WAR INTENTIONS "We intend what our forefathers, the founders of this Republic, intended. We in America believe our participation in this war to be the fruitage of what they planted. Our case differs from theirs only in this, that it is our inestimable privilege to concert with men out of every nation what shall make not only the liberties of America secure, but the liberties of every other people as well. . . . "There can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No halfway decision would be tolerable. No halfway decision is conceivable. "The blinded rulers of Prussia have roused forces they knew little of—forces which can never be crushed to earth again; for they have in their heart an inspiration and a purpose which are deathless and of the very stuff of triumph."—From the President's Mount Vernon Address. HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS. Don't let your Liberty Bonds get away from you. Hold onto them, even if you may be tempted to dispose of them. In the first place, the government intended them for YOU. The Liberty loans were designed as people's loans. In order to finance the war the government must have the support of ALL the people. It was intended that you keep the bonds and not trade them or sell them. Promiscuous selling tends to depreciate their value, and that is what the German agents here would like to do. Not only is it your patriotic duty to retain these bonds, but in doing so you are laying up something for a rainy day. The Liberty loans and the Was Savings Stamp issues have done more to encourage thrift in America than anything ever before attempted. They have made bondholders out of thousands of people who never in their lives until now had made an investment. Crafty and unscrupulous individuals are using every means to entice these bonds out of the hands of their owners. One method is to offer in ex- T OMEET AT CHICAGO NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE INVITES COLORED RACE TO ASSEMBLE IN CHICAGO SEPT. 17-19 TO GET RACE ORGANIZED TO PUSH CLAIMS FOR POSSESSION OF FULL AND EQUAL DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS—AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY By the authority vested in me as President of the National Equal Rights League, I do hereby issue this call for the Eleventh Annual Convention of said League to convene on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, of Sept. 17th, 18th and 19th, in the city of Chicago, Ill. Fellow Comrades of the National Equal Rights League, and others, I cannot even begin to express how urgently important it is that our people in all sections of the country, should give prompt and earnest heed to this call. Members of the great world-war all nations and races are being tried, as it were, by fire; their real worth and stamina are being severely tested, and none more so than that of colored Americans; and we must not allow ourselves to be found wanting. A double burden rests upon our shoulders while this war lasts; we must continue to perform all the duties of citizenship, freely sacrificing our time, our money and our blood for our country; and, at the same time, we must double, rather than diminish, our exertions in our own behalf, unceasingly pressing to the front our own claims and demands for an equal share in the possession and enjoyment of all those rights for which we are fighting. Our very freedom and life, and that of our unborn generations, depend upon our keeping up this double fight. The Double Duty. They are half cowards, who, while fighting for their country, will not, at the same time, demand an equal chance and a square deal. And they who seek and demand their rights while unwilling to shoulder their full share in the nation's and the change for Liberty bonds stock certificates in fly-by-night companies, worth only the gold paper they are printed on, and represented as returning a much higher rate of interest than the government securities. Those who are not familiar with stock values should beware of such offers. There are other methods, some savoring of the gold-brick variety; others just within the limits of the law. Liberty bonds are the safest investment in the world. If you MUST dispose of them, you would do well to consult your banker. ONLY HALE ADJOURNED The Lewisburg (Pa.) Saturday News very pertinently remarks that the announcement that "politics is adjourned" has not been accompanied by the appointment of a Republican to a place in the cabinet, nor the appointment of Republicans to fill any of the offices of customs collector, etc. No, and the administration has not made full use of the abilities of such men as Roosevelt and Wood. Nor has it acknowledged its obligations to the late Augustus P. Gardner, one of the pioneers of preparedness. Perhaps politics is only half adjourned. FRANKLIN AN OLD FOGEY. Postmaster General Burleson is quoted as saying that it would be a good thing for the country if half of the newspapers went out of business. The views of the P. M. G. in 1918 are somewhat different from those entertained by the first head of the Postal Service, one Benjamin Franklin. "Lemon pie officers" is the latest nickname for the "swivel-chair corps." "Yellow all the way through and not enough crust to go 'over the top.'" CAN'T BE TRUSTED. "American wearing apparel is gaining steadily in Argentina as the result of the failing European supplies," declares the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. "This is especially true of hosiery, which before the war came almost entirely from Germany." How freely they now confess the real reason for our great expansion in sales to Latin America, and how utterly they denied it a few weeks before the 1916 election. Those were the days when the Democratic National Committee said our war export trade was due to Democratic policies, and that the sale of war goods accounted for but 5 per cent of the total. A party that lied like that in 1916 is pretty apt to lie again in the Congressional campaign of 1918. ALABAMA STANDS PAT. The renomination of Congressman Huddleston, of Alabama, after the President had asked for his defeat GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. The Double Duty. world's struggle for freedom, will meet their deserved defeat. Every considerable race on earth is involved in this world-war, and the future of twelve million colored Americans, with that of other groups of people, is to be determined in its issue. Besides our standing grievances there are new and perplexing racial relations and conditions evolving out of this war that call loudly for our most earnest and immediate attention. These new war-created conditions are of such vital significance as should speedily bring together our entire race leadership. This war will result in permanent benefit to humanity in proportion as we, as a race, through our own appointed leadership, and with organization nation-wide, exert ourselves earnestly, promptly and wisely in our own behalf. Let every community join this Colored Liberty Organization Drive. Let us as a race get ready to enforce our claim to World Democracy as an issue of this world war. Therefore, let us get together for organization as a race to enforce our claims to world democracy. Every church, civic, educational, fraternal, political and business organizations among our people, without regard to sect, sex or party, are invited to be represented in the Chicago convention by one, two or several delegates to deliberate on the organizing of our race for self-defense. An especial appeal is made for the quick formation of equal rights and democracy leagues or committees for the purpose of sending delegates to this national convention for race organization for liberty. Yours for Equal Rights, BYRON GUNNER, Pres. Nat'l Equal Rights League need not be taken as an endorsement of what Huddleston stands for. It it more likely a rebuke to the President for trying to control an election. This is still a republican form of government, with three separate and distinct branches, the most important of which is the legislative. The people recognize this, and they will tolerate no executive dictation in election of Senators and Representatives. To establish the precedent of defeating a man because he meets the displeasure of the President would be to make subservient tools of a considerable number of members of Congress. This, of course, the people of the country do not want done. They want men, not rubber stamps, in Congress. Huddleston voted wrong a good many times, but it is no worse to be wrong than to be a mere non-entity, a puppet, an echo, a rubber stamp, a messenger, or any other kind of a lackey for somebody else. While the Census bill was under discussion in the House, Representative John G. Cooper of Ohio, sought the adoption of an amendment that would have taken from the Democrats some, at least, of the enormous amount of patronage they will exercise when that measure is put into effect. As it now reads all census supervisors are to be appointed by the Secretary of Commerce upon recommendation of the Director of the Census. Of course that means that practically all will be Democrats. Mr. Cooper would have given the Congressmen a voice in making recommendations for appointments in their own districts. Had his views prevailed Republican districts would have stood a chance of having their inhabitants recorded by Republican supervisors. But Mr. Cooper's amendment met with disfavor from the party in control and was defeated. THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. The campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan begins September 28 and closes October 19. While the amount has not yet been announced, it is generally conceded it will be for a larger amount than any of the preceding loans. The American people, therefore, are called upon to raise a larger sum of money in a shorter length of time than ever before. There is need, therefore, for prompt action—prompt and efficient work and prompt and liberal subscriptions. We have a great inspiration for a great effort. The news from the battle front inspires every American heart, not only with pride and patriotism but with a great incentive to do his or her part. There is no shirking, no shifting of the individual burden, no selfishness by American soldiers in France; there should be none here. THE CENSUS GRAB. War Savings Stamps It isn't so much the amount of money you save as it is getting into the habit of saving a definite amount regularly. The best way to learn to save is not only to promise yourself that you will do it regularly but promise some one else, your wife, your parent, your husband, or your teacher, that you will not let a first of the month or first of the week go by without saving. The United States Government needs money to equip our armies and to fight for democracy. Your Government—the richest in the world—is willing to pay interest for your money now. Uncle Sam offers you $5.00 War Savings Stamps for $4.13 in February, and one cent additional each month thereafter. A Thrift Card is furnished to all purchasers of 25 cents Thrift Stamps. When all the spaces have been filled, the Thrift Card may be exchanged for $5.00 War Savings Stamps at any post office or bank. You should start saving a certain amount regularly. Outline your program. Start at once, going to your post office and getting your first War Savings Thrift Card. And stick to it. As you treasure your right to live in this nation of freedom, do not miss a single day on which you have determined to save. Buy War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps (25 cents) at any bank or post office. We are both supporting the same country and the same cause—our Army in one way, ourselves in another. Theirs is the harder part, but at least we can do our part as promptly and loyally and efficiently as they do theirs. The Editor of THE APPEAL Writer a Letter to the Chicago Tribune, Which is Self Explanatory. Saint Paul Minn. August 29, 1918. Managing Editor, The Chicago Tribune, Chicago. Illinois. Dear Sir: The enclosed was probably printed without your knowledge or consent. It is however, thankful to more than 200,000 colored soldiers now in the United States Army, of whom 100,000 are already in France fighting for freedom and democracy. It is also an insult to the 12,000-000 Americans in the United States who are classed as "colored" who are 100 per cent loyal, a fact the Tribune admitted in an editorial some time since. While the "colored troops are fighting nobly" at the front—many have died in the trenches for their native land—some have won the "Croix de Guerre"—do not permit the use of terms which are offensive to those they have left behind, who are buying liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps; contributing to the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army and other war funds, in spite of the fact that some of these organizations either segregate them or refuse admission. They are also conserving food and fuel and willingly making as many sacrifices as any other group of Americans, and they are genuine Americans without the hyphen, the Census of 1910 showing that ONLY 496 COLORED AMERICANS WERE BORN IN AFRICA! To be consistent the Tribune should use "Sheeny" for Jewish soldiers, "Dago" for Italian soldiers, "Mick" for Irish soldiers, "Frogater" for French soldiers and "Kiwi" for Chinese soldiers, and other nicknames which make up the United States Army. Even German- War Saving It isn't so much the amount it is getting into the amount regularly. That is not only to promise you regularly but promise some parent, your husband, or not let a first of the month without saving. The Habit of Thrift War The United States Government armies and to fight for demi-richest in the world—is willing now. Uncle Sam offers you $5 in February, and one cent addit. A Thrift Card is furnished Thrift Stamps. When all the sp Card may be exchanged for $5 post office or bank. You should regularly. Outline your program your post office and getting your Thrift Card. And stick to it. Live in this nation of freedom which you have determined to sell. Buy War Savings Stamps and bank or post office. Americans, many of whom are in the army, do not have such offensive epithets applied to them unless they are discharged for disloyalty. Cut out the word "darky" and all other words which offend loyal Americans, for the period of the war. Kindly send the order down the line that "darky" and other offensive words will not be permitted in the columns of the Tribune. This would be an act of simple justice for Americans who are doing their full duty to their country. When the victorious American Army marches down "Unter den Linden" in Berlin in triumph, colored Americans will be in the ranks and after that "darky" and all such terms will be obsolete. To the above letter the following reply has been received: THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE The World's Greatest Newspaper Chicago, Sept. 1st, 1918 "Mr. J. Q. Adams, I have your letter of Aug. 29th calling attention to the use of the word "Darky" in a head over an item from Camp Grant. I wish to assure you that there was not the slightest intention on the part of anyone who had to do with this item, of reflecting on the colored people in identifying the soldier as a colored man. Everyone, I think, appreciates the loyal spirit and heroic work of the soldiers of the colored race in this war and no one would wish to detract from the just recognition that is theirs. Yours very truly, E. S. BEW, Managing Editor." SOME OF THE BITS YOUR LIN BERTY BOND WILL DO. If you buy a $100 bond of the Fourth Liberty Loan you are lending the United States Government enough money to feed a soldier in France a little more than seven months. Or you have furnished enough money to give him a complete outfit of winter and summer clothing, including shoes and stockings, and slicker and overcoat and blankets, with enough left over to arm him with a good revolver. You have done that much to beat back the Hun. It takes $35 more to arm him with a rifle with a bayonet on it, and if you buy a second $100 bond you furnish him this rifle and 1,000 cartridges for it; and there will still be enough of your money left to purchase a good-sized bomb to throw in a dugout, or demolish a machine gun together with the Huns operating it. BONDS OF THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. Bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan are now being turned out by the thousands daily by the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The bonds are similar in form and design to those of the third loan, and space has been left on each bond for insertion of the exact terms of the bonds. It is believed that a sufficient number of the bonds will be ready to make possible immediate delivery of all bonds of the fourth loan as they are purchased.

Every colored citizen has full authority to act on this invitation. Let us meet in Chicago to organize for world democracy. Colored America on to Chicago. Show your strength. NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LAW PRESIDENT WILSON. Commutes Sentences of Ten Colored Soldiers Sentenced to be Hung. Thirteen colored soldiers accused of participation in the riot at Houston, Tex. Aug. 23, 1917, were hung. Sixteen more were sentenced to be hung. President Wilson reviewed the finding and confirmed the sentences of six but commuted to life imprisonment ten. In a statement attached to the record, he said: "I commute the remaining sentences, because I believe the lesson of this lawless riot will have been adequately pointed out by the action already taken and that now directed and also because I desire the clemency here ordered to be a recognition of the splendid loyalty of the race to which these soldiers belong and an inspiration to the people of that race to further zeal and service to the country of which they are citizens and for the liberties of which so many of them are now bravely bearing arms at the very front of the great fields of battle."

They have their rifles and automatic guns all ready and their training will be completed over seas. Mr. and Mrs. Hilary returned home Wednesday. PLUCK PAYS. Misa Naomi Howard is a Living Witness of the Fact. During the month of August, 1914, Dr. O. D. Howard, of St. Paul, paid a visit to his aged mother who still owns the old homestead jointly with her oldest son, John, and with whom she lives, in Henry County, Tenn. While there he became interested in his niece, Miss Naomi Howard, aged 16 years, whose mother died when she was two years old, and he saw in her such pluck, aggressiveness and ambition for an education that he determined to do what he could to aid her to gain the desired end. Miss Howard had long since reached the sixth grade which was the limit for a colored person in that benighted and prejudiced locality. On the advice of Dr. Howard she came to St. Paul and entered the grade schools here but on examination she could only get credits for the 5th grade. She, however, entered school and studied assiduously. After her first year here, as evidence of her pluck there he received, she placed to work in a family to care for the children and assist with housework and thus paid her way. Not only did she finish the grade schools but made second year in high school in four years, with average credits of 83 plus. Mrs. Howard was much pleased with her success and felt very grateful to the friends who aided and encouraged her with kind words and deeds. The war affected her as it has so many others; her only brother, and her main support, was drafted, and she had to go home. She left St. Paul the 17th of last June and immediately applied for a position as teacher in that locality and at the state examination she was the only one of 28 applicants that successfully passed, and she has been appointed as the teacher for the school at Evergreen, Tenn. Dr. Howard is very much elated over the success of his niece that THE LADIES!

Enginemen Corp in March last and was transferred to the Artillery Officers Training School at Camp Taylor, Ky., received a commission as Second Lieutenant in the Artillery branch on August 31st. Lieut. Godette not only enjoys the distinction of being a member of the first colored Artillery class for receive commission in this branch but also the first Minnesota product to receive a commission in the U.S. He arrived home Monday for a short visit with his parents and left Wednesday for Camp Jackson, S. C., where he has been assigned for duty. HON. CARL C. VAN DYKE. St. Paul Congressman Elected President of Spanish-American War Veteran Association. THE APPEAL is glad to note that Congressman Carl C. Van Dyke was elected President of the Spanish-American Veterans Association at Baltimore last Thursday. There are many colored veterans members of this Association and there have been attempts from time to time by Southern members to oust the colored members and make the Association for whites only. Our veterans can rest assured that President Van Dyke will not tolerate such sentiments. His Congressional career has been carefully noted and it has always been found that he is one of the members of Congress whom the colored people may depend on to vote right on matters effecting their interest. CALL FOR MASS MEETING. Some time ago an attempt was made to inaugurate a movement to solicit funds for the benefit of Crispus Attucks Home, but the indorsement of the St. Paul Commercial Association could not be obtained. However, those efforts aroused new interest in the Home and meetings held resulted in the appointment of a special committee to investigate the entire matter. The committee has completed its work and is ready to make a report and for that purpose a public mass meeting will be held at St. James A. M. E. church, Jay and Fuller streets, St. Paul, next Thursday evening, to which everybody is invited. Committee—Rev J. M. Henderson, chairman; Rev T. B. Stovall, Rev A. H. Lealtad, Rev T. J. Carr, J. N.

Miss Adahl Lewis returned from her trip to Des Moines and Camp Dodge, Tuesday. Rev. T. B. Stovall was the guest of THE APPEAL man for dinner Wednesday at the Arcadia Cafe, the best place in town. Mrs. Donald Brady and son spent last Tuesday afternoon as the guests of Mrs. E. Gillard and daughter, Miss Charlotte, at South St. Paul Park. Rev. D. E. Beasley, pastor of Bethesda Baptist church, who has resided in St. Paul, has moved to Minneapolis, and is now residing at 1911 Fourth Ave. So. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might live through Him—I John 4:9—Selected by E. W. Gilles. Mrs. Jasper Gibbs left yesterday to visit her three sons, Jasper, Hiram and Morris at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa. Her son Jasper is "Top" Sergeant of his company and Hiram Corporal. Mrs. Will Gates and daughter, Miss Reha, of Montreal, Can., who have been the guests of Mrs. A. White, 2827 Fifth Ave. S., left for home last Tuesday delighted with the people of the Twin Cities. Listen to the Macedonian cry, "Come Over and Help us!" and go over to St. Paul next Thursday evening and attend the big Military Ball to be given Co. A, 16th Btn. M. H. G. at Union Hall. You are invited. Mesdames Price and Smeddler, of the Hair Shop, 715 Sixth Ave. N., have originated a new electric pressing comb that is superior to those now on the market and they cordially invite the ladies to call and test its merits. Would you have your feet smile? Then take them to PRICE & SMEDDLER, the expert scientific chiropodists, 715 Sixth avenue north. They will remove all foot troubles painlessly and perfectly. They will call at your home if you prefer. Just call Hyland 5633. Atty. W. R. Morris, G. W. Holbert and P. H. Southall returned Monday from Baltimore where they attended the meeting of Grand Lodge of Elks. They report the meeting was the largest ever held by the Order. The parade was splendid, there being 15 bands, two of which were composed of women. P. H. Southall was reelected for the third time Grand Esquire. Armond Scott was reelected Grand Exalted Ruler. If you have not visited the Arcadia Cafe recently, you should do so at once, in order to see, for yourself, the elegant $600.00 caffain, which Proprietor Simmons was installed. It is a "thing of beauty" and, doubtless, will be, a "joy forever," evidently, it might be mentioned that one may get a regular dinner there, cents, that for quality, quantity and service is not equaled any where in the city. The Arcadia Cafe is located on the corner of Fourth Ave. S. and Fifth street. When the Chicago A. M. E. Conference met in St. Paul last year Bishop L. J. Coppin suggested that the pastors of the churches inaugurate a "forward movement." Rev. B. T. Stovall of St. Peter A. M. E. church followed the suggestion and has had good reason to feel elated with the success that followed along several lines. The collection of "Dollar Money" and "Conference Claims" is usually a great task with all Methodist preachers, but Rev. Stovall appointed sub-pastors to do certain work and held a Sub Annual Conference three days in the middle of August and when all the reports were made it was found that more than $200 had been raised with very little trouble. Rev. Stovall has served St. Peter for four years very satisfactorily to the church and himself. He leaves on or about the 16th to attend the meeting of the Annual Conference at Evanston, Ill. He will carry a good report and there is little or no doubt that he will be returned to round out his five years. MR8. ROBERT A.

In Man is an Angel and a Devil, a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Red Cross is the Good, aroused, energized to thwart the Bad. It is the best antidote we know to the bane of war. There are other Charities, more or less helpful. The Red Cross is the mightiest of all Charities, the Love and Pity of all men made supremely efficient. If, as Emerson said, "sensible men and conscientious men all over the world are of one religion," this is the expression of that religion. The Red Cross is Humanity united in Service. It asks no man's opinion; only his need. Black or White, Friend or Foe, to the Red Cross there is no difference; it only asks: "Who is Suffering?" And to him it goes. The Red Cross is so Efficient that Governments recognize it; so Pure in its purpose that whoever wishes well his fellow men, desires to help it; so Clean in its administration that the most suspicious can find no fault in it. The Red Cross not only seeks to alleviate the cruelties of War; it is the expression of those human sentiments that some day will put an end to War. It is the impulse of Love, striving to overcome the impulse of Hate. It is Mercy's co-operation struggling against War's rivalries. It is the one Society in which every Man, Woman and Child should be enrolled; for it knows no sects, no prejudices, no protesting opinion; the human being does not live that does not feel that the starving should be fed, the sick tended and the wounded healed. Majestic and divine is this Long Arm of Mercy; it finds the fallen on the battlefield, it brings the nurse and the physician to the victim in the hospital; it leads the weeping orphan to a home; it feeds the starving, cares for the pest-smitten whom all others abandon, and pours the oil of Help and Pity into the bitter wounds of the World. Where a volcano has wrought desolation in Japan, or a Flood in China, or a Hurricane in Cuba, or a Famine in India, or a Plague in Italy, or ravaging Armies in Poland, Servia or Belgium, there flies the Red Cross, the Angel of God whom the fury of men cannot banish from the Earth; and to the Ends of the Earth, over all the ways of the Seven Seas, wherever is Human Misery, there is extended, to bless and to heal, its Long Arm of Mercy.

I said, 'Do you want some tobacco?' He seemed stunned for a moment and then said; 'Do you know it nearly gave me a fit to hear you speak English. I haven't heard a woman speak English in five months.' He said he had been walking about in the cold since four o'clock last night. He couldn't find a hotel or a bright light because, of course, everything is closed and darkened on account of the bombardments. . . . The Americans are very fond of ham sandwiches. They eat much more than the French soldiers, and when they first came in and ordered six eggs aplice it caused consternation throughout the land. The funniest thing of all is to hear the Sammles grandly urging these wealthy English girls to 'keep the change—oh, keep the change!' . . . We start the day at five and work continuously until nine, when three fresh canniliers relieve us. At five we go on for the evening shift from five to eight, and it is the most exciting and exhausting of the shifts. There is a certain time when they come down on us like a flood, eight or ten deep around the counter and three or four hundred altogether in this little room, as eager and tired as schoolboys."

(8-24-18) --- --- Bombardments Cannot Drive This Woman Back She Thinks Coffee for Soldiers More Important Than Safety. The following extracts are taken from a letter written by a Red Cross Canteen worker, Helen McElhone, an American woman and college graduate now located in a district almost constantly under bombardment: "Foyer des Allies, "Barle-Duc. "Things look very black to me. I am discouraged at the big outlook of affairs and also at my small doings, but it may be the blackness that comes before dawn. Let us hope so. Our men certainly help now as much as the pollus. I am beginning to see those who have been at the front. In fact, I am beginning to see some of the results of this life. They are sick and homesick, and worse things have happened to them. Several have said: 'All we ask is to get to the front and do what we have to do. Anything is better than this life. . . .'

CHARLES SUGHNIDE THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. The campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan will begin September 28 and close October 19. The result of the loan will be watched with keen interest in Europe, not only by our associates in the war against the Teutonic powers but by our enemies. It will be regarded by them as a measure of the American people's support of the war. The Germans know full well the tremendous weight and significance of popular support of the war, of the people at home backing up the Army in the field. As the loan succeeds our enemies will sorrow; as it falls short they will rejoice. Every dollar subscribed will help and encourage the American soldiers and hurt and depress the enemies of America. The loan will be a test of the loyalty and willingness of the people of the United States to make sacrifices complying with willingness of our soldiers to do their part. We must be and will be no failure by the people to measure up to the courage and devotion of our men in Europe. Many of them have given up their lives; shall we at home withhold our money Shall we spare our dollars while they spare not their very lives?
