In this war it is the most immediate help— the most effective help that we can give. We must not l>o content with a subscription o f two billion dollars— we must oversubscribe this loan as an indication that America is stirred to the depths and aroused to the summit o f her great ness in the cause o f freedom. I-et us not endanger success by complacent optimism. I.ot us n«»t satisfy ourselves with the reflection that some one else will subscribe the required amount. Let every man and woman in the land make it his or her business to subscribe to the Liberty Loan im- mediately, and if they cannot si 1 «scribe themselves, let them induce some- body else to subscribe. Provi le the Government with the funds indis- pensably needed for the conduct o f the war and ^ive notice to the enemies o f the United States that we .ave billions to sacrifice in the cause o f Liberty. “ Buy a Liberty Bond today do not put it off until tomorrow.
