WAR STAMP QUO 1518 Fast Madison st., after reading The Star's appeal to lift 52.000,000. v This cartoon was arawn by Artist Spurgeon this city out of its $2,000,000 War Savings Stamp deficiency.

This poster is one of several painted by him. eee eee eee son why you should buy War Savings Stamps to the very limit of your ability, is the fact that your country needs your help; that your soldiers in France need supplies; that every ounce of man and money power that can be put into the fighting line NOW means a hasten- ing of our goal—victorious peace. -atriotism is an all-sufficient lesser reasons, also, One is the cold-blooded “dollars and cents” reason. There is no difference to you, from a financial standpoint, whether you have your savings in the bank or in War Savings Stamps. Stamps are as good as cash, redeemable at ANY time. And another reason—one that should appeal to every Seattleite who has ever been fired by the “Seattle Spirit,” is the retention of our good name for enterprise, vigor, clean-cut Americanism. Seattle’s fame had been proclaimed all over the nation, even before the war, for our ability to do “big things” in a big way. When we were but little larger than a hamlet, we dug into our pockets and presented several hundred thousand dollars to a shipbuilding company to con- struct the battleship Nebraska. We GAVE that money then. Today we are only asked for a LOAN. And ten years ago we subscribed for many hundreds of thousands of dollars to insure the success of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific expo- sition. We bought the stock and instead of cashing it in after the fair showed a profit, we donated the money to the Red Cross anti-tuberculosis fund. Again and again Seattle showed itself every inch a city of grand purpos But what are these past performances compared to present demands We haven’t been confronted with any really BIG tasks until this war came upon us. NOW is our REAL opportunity to show our bigness. But what are these past performances compared to present demands? We haven’t been confronted with any really BIG tasks until this war came upon us. NOW is our REAL opportunity to show our bigness. We are shy approximately $2,000,000 in our War Savings quota. We must have not only $10 and $50 and $100 pledges, BUT WE MUST HAVE MANY MORE $1,000 PLEDGES. No man or woman of means, no corporation, no restaurant, no cloth- ing store, no business man or woman who has_ been making more profits than ever before, is doing full duty by subscribing less than the limit.

According to the report brought here, the U-boat was very large, be Jing ‘at first mistaken for another oil tanker When its character was made out the American vessel, instead of flee ing, attacked it, using two 4.7 guns forward and then maneuvering to bring a sixinch gun aft into action.
