Shall we desert them now? If we, in Seattle, fail to subscribe our allotment of the Liberty bonds, we are deserting them. we ee seria is no peed to cite the case of Belgium, or the Lusitania, or submarine atrocities, or the hope to make the world safe for democracy. The boys “over there’ are OUR boys, our brothers, our sons, our own blood. That is all we need know. And we cannot forsake our boys at this crisis. We must give them every fighting chance possible. To do otherwise would be un- natural, inhuman. “Over there” in France, they need food. They need clothing. They need ammunition, or their lives will be snuffed out without even a decent struggle. And we at home must lend Uncle Sam the money to buy these things for our Seattle boys and for other American boys. Lend it to Uncle Sam—that is all. The pur- chase of a Liberty bond means merely that you are loaning money to your government, not giv- it away asadonation. Justa loan! four money will be merely invested with the United States of America. You will draw 4 per cent interest.

All forms of investing money have some element of hazard. In Liberty Loan bonds there is absolutely no risk. Each bond is the promise of the United States government, backed by the entire might and wealth of the nation. At one and the same time each American who buys these bonds helps his country win the war, helps his own flesh and blood on the fighting line with actual necessities, and also places his money where it is safe and will work for him.
