Backers of the plan hope to see the time come when “Liberty Day” will be celebrated in all allied coun- tries. Newspapers in every section of the United States have been push- ing the movement for the observance of “Liberty Day.” Scores of letters have already been received by con- gressmen, urging them to support such a bill. The governor of Ohio was the first executive in the United States to mo#e officially toward the creation of such a holiday. In a proclama- tion setting aside today as a holi- “day, Governor Cox called upon schools, churches, civic orgamza- ¥ tions and patriotic societies to ‘“‘co- operate in bringing home the sacri- fices we must make” to win the war.
