a Se Le | The president of these United States of America das designated this day as LIBERTY DAY. He has set it apart from all other days as one in which all good and true citizens may “ “pledge to one another and to the government that represents them the fullest measure of financial sup- port.” He hopes the results will be “so im- pressive and emphatic that it will echo thruout the empire of our enemy as an index of what America intends to do to bring this war to a victorious con- clusion.” He does not ask that you give this day a single cent or shed one drop of blood for your country, your liberty and your independence. He does not ask you this day to leave your home, your friends and loved ones to battle with the enemy in the shell- swept trenches somewhere in France. Near Union st. || When HE SEATTLE STAR . ED.

You are not asked to make any heart-tearing sacrifice such as hundreds of thousands of our bravest young men have made. You are asked to LOAN money you have saved, or can save, to the end that your government may clothe, feed and arm the boys who have made the sacrifice supreme—THEY HAVE LOANED THEIR BODIES AND LIFE BLOOD! Seattle, early this morning, awoke to a day of patriotic Liberty Loan activi- ties excelling all previous efforts, with men, women and children laboring en- thusiastically to make Seattle’s Liberty Day one long to be remembered. Re- ports from other sections of the country tell of millions of dollars subscribed and hundreds of thousands of patriots toil- ing to make the day a huge success.

It was expected that subscriptions would touch the $5,000,000,000 mark, and that the loan of $3,000,000,000 would be taken up during the first half of the cam- paign. ‘Had these anticipations been realized a stinging blow would have been given the kaiser’s military autoc- racy, more serious than a battlefield’s defeat. But it is not too late to do that now! We can make this LIBERTY DAY forever famous in the annals of Ameri- can history by DELIVERING THAT BLOW TODAY! Our president has set apart this day for this purpose, that each of us may help win the war, even tho we are stay- at-homes and shoulder no guns in our country’s defense.

They may back their government with their dollars, even as other Americans now are backing this same government with their lives. Celebrate any other day with feasts and fireworks, with merriment and pleasure-provoking devices, but this day—LIBERTY DAY—can only be celebrated by SUBSCRIBING FOR A LIBERTY LOAN BOND! And—please remember this—the day is not over when you leave the shop or store or office. There still is time for you to buy a bond and for you to en- courage others to do so. No man has done all he can, or all his country ex- pects of him today, if he does not buy a bond himself and, having done that, use his most persuasive Liberty Loan arguments upon his friends. This day will never return again. Make the most of it for LIBERTY and DEMOCRACY!
