AN APPEAL
r WASHINGTON, May 5, 1919, (Special.)
"The Viftory Liberty Loan campaign is two-thirds
over but subscriptions have been reported for little
more than one-third ot the loan. . ' ' ,
Is it conceivable, that the American pcople'who
with heart and soul waged the fight for freedom will
permit this loatv of victory and thanksgiving to fail.-
, Our sons gave of their health, of their strength, ,
and' of their lives that i freedom might not perish.-:
There are one and a half million American boys in
France and Germany. Now that the war is ended it
would bo as reasonable for them to dishonor the na-
. tiou by deserting the flag as for the nation to dis-i
honor 'itself by deserting them. . . -. ,,;
' ,-, Is it a large thing that we are now asked to lend
our money io pay the cost of victory? ' Is American
'money less willing than American manhood? -
Let, everyone 'of the millions who have bought
Liberty bonds buy Victory notes and success is sure.
