THE CALL YOU HEAR If you are one of those who hesitate and postpone the investment of a few dollars of your savings in Liberty Bonds, we ask you —$—$—$—$—$— to listen to the call sounding in the ears of every human being pussessed of a loyal heart and soul, and a brain unclouded. It is the call from stricken Serbia, devastated Belgium, desolated Russia, and Italy and France. It is the call from men and women and children beaten down and butchered by the arch butchers of the kaiser’s training. It is the call of liberty attacked, of democracy threatened, of freedom fighting for existence. It is the call of our own flesh and blood over there in the trenches beyond Toul and on the plains of Picardy. It is the call of battle against wrong and injustice. It is humanity’s call! And hearing it Americans can do one of two things: Go “over there” and fight, or make it possible for others to go over there and fight. - “STARSHELLS” TO BAT! o=ee=™.
