HREE MILLION men—half- of «them in
F rance—many more intraining. :
But is this all their fight?
It takes ten men at work to keep one fight-
! ing man at the front.
It takes millions of dollars just to keep this
army fed. It costs thousands of dollars every
, a time one battery of big guns lays downabarrage.
Is it any wonder,then, that the United States
is spending at the rate of fifty millions of dollars
a day in war and war plans? And with that
grand total as the interest on a far vaster prin-
- cipal, which must support this colossal cost'or
'all this task will have been in vain, whose fight;
-. do you think thisis? ‘ ,. .
The man’s in the trench? The fellow’s on the
supply-train? The chap’s on the gunner’s deck?
No, it is yours! , '
It is your fight, Mr. Banker—yours, Mr. Manue
facturer—yours, Mr. Merchant -— yours, Mr.
Mechanic -,— yours, Mr. Worker —' yours, Mr.
Farmer. This fight is yours, all of you who
are left behind, as much or eVen more than it
is. the man’s in the trench. '
’4 t" For that man, though three million strong, can-
not raise a hand in the cause of democracy, he
cannot even raise a hand in self-defense, except
for you. -
He is potent only as you are potent. He can
fight only as yOu will fight. The difference is
only this: his fight is expressed in nerve and
ammunition, yours in work anddollars.
. The Fourth Liberty Loan is the world’s biggest
drive binck of the lines. It is the test of the
financial reserves of this entire country of ours.
It will gage the power that you intend to put
back of the fighting men in France for the
next half year or more to come.
In fact it will show the value you place on
the heritage of liberty, which three million men
have taken up arms. to defend for you ‘to-day.
Take care when you sign that subscription
blank for Liberty Bondsthat the amount you set
squares as nearly as it can with all your heart
acknowledges this heritage to be worth to you.
