GIBBS McADOO Secretary of the Treasury Written for the United Press There could be no more ap- propriate Christmas gift in 1917 than a United States Liberty bond. Let every patriotic American this year determine not to waste money on Christmas gifts of no value, gifts that would merely indulge appetite or van- ity. Let every patriotic American substitute for such gifts the one present which would be of gen- wine value to the recipient, and at the same time help to win this great war for freedom against despotism—namely, a bond of the United States gov- ernment. Give Liberty Bond Every American who contem- plates making a Christmas gift of jewelry or other expensive things should immediately de- cide to give a Liberty bond tn- ptead Wives, sweethearts and chil dren would rather have a Lib y, bond than anything else hat could be offered them Every Liberty bond an Amer. fean citizen buys will arm and equip our gallant soldiers and sailors, will help to make them invincible in the fight. The more invincible we can make them, the more quickly the war will be ended. By the destruction of the kal ser’s brutalized rule of the bay onet, the more quickly peace on earth, good will toward men, will be restored A Real Christmas Christmas day, 1917, should be a time of rededication and reconsecration to the cause of freedom and humanity thruout the world to the ideals for which Christ suffered cruct fixion on the cross. We must be prepared make indefinite sacrifices secure this glorious result The least we can do is to give up something of our pleas are, something of our comfort, ething of our convenience, something of our needs, and to employ all the savings we may thereby effect to strengthen the hands of our government and to support our gallant men on the battlefields, to to BANG! BANG! BANG! Buy a 50-Dollar Bond and Arm a Soldier OMORROW is LIBERTY DAY. Ihe President has so proclaimed it. The people will so celebrate it. Loyal and patriotic Americans from the Atlantic to the Pacific will make it all the name implies and promises. For years and years and years to come our children and our children’s children will point back to LIBERTY DAY as proof of their fathers’ patriotism. It will be to them as a great victory won, | And s0, indeed, if will be to those of | us who loan of our dollars that the sons of our mothers may be fed and clothed and armed as they give battle to the Hun beyond the seas. There is now no longer need to tell of | the security which makes your investment in Liberty Loan Bonds the safest in the world, nor to lay stress upon the profitable returns which will come to the investor. These things are well known to every American. And we all know how and | where the money will be spent. It was expected that the second Liberty Loan would be over-subscribed by $2,000,- 000,000; that the amount of-the loan, $3,000,000,000, would be subscribed during the first half of October—GLORY MONTH —and that American pocketbooks would open wide during the last few days and swell the grand total to $5,000,000,000. These anticipations have not yet been realized. But the major one—over-sub- scribing the loan—will be, and tomorrow will do it. Let us make it the biggest and best day of Glory Month. To do this means subscribing for | Liberty Loan Bonds—the loaning to your government of as much money as | you possibly can spare. It will be YOUR bullet fired at ‘AMERICANS AID [SLAVS FIGHT BACKKAISER’S COIN YOUR enemy—the war lord of the Huns. The bond you buy tomorrow will help shorten the war; it will help bring to America and democracy a victorious peace; it will aid in crushing kaiserism; it will do its “bit” toward making fighting at the front “Some- where in France” less dangerous, less cost!y and less bloody for our boys. The bond you buy tomorrow may turn defeat into victory somewhere in France. It may buy the ammunition which will turn the tide of battle. It may save the life in some battle-torn body fallen in the charge that drives backward the enemy of your liberty. The bond you buy will make history of the biggest sort. The honor and integrity of the govern- ment has been pledged to you that the money you loan your country will be well and wisely spent in fighting the enemies of human liberty and world democracy. Others have pledged their lives. The president asks those who stay at home to pledge of their dollars. Let us make the pledge worthy of loyal Americans. Let us pledge our dollars unt] it hurts, until it makes us save and sacrifice in our daily living. Until we have done that we have not measured up to the full standard of true Americanism. Come, fellow citizens, let us “go over the top” tomorrow, with our surplus dollars, with all the dollars we have saved or can save during the next few months! Not only “go over the top” of Liberty Loan ourselves, but carry with us all our friends and neighbors.
