THE SEATTLE STAR—WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1918, ‘Men, Money and Guns Will Surely Bring Hell to the Huns” “Make this next Liberty Loan so big and overwhelming that the Huns will know that you are with us body and soul,” writes a Seattle boy from France. Read Carroll Gilger’s message to the folks at home and then ask your conscience, “Am I loyal to my country’s flag?” xkkk “Be sure the war is not over yet,” writes Carroll Gilger, “much as I’d love to realize it. Don’t be too optimistic and let down, thinking the Huns are licked. Nothing but peace won on the battlefield can satisfy. “I firmly believe we are up against a collapsing Hun nation, but it won‘t utterly collapse without terrific battering-ram blows from the allies. Those blows take men, of that I’m certain, but when I see the maimed, bruised, bleeding bodies of magnificent men; when here, in the valley of the shadow, life goes out seemingly so often that one cannot count the frightful cost, I say within my heart, ‘Not in vain, oh, God, not in vain!’ “So, mother, dear, and dad, too, tell them to come and keep coming until the land of the Huns shall feel and see war’s horrors, and this ugly viper forever be wiped out. One thing more—make this next Liberty Loan so big and overwhelming that the Huns will know you are with us body and soul. “Men, money and guns will surely bring hell to the Huns.” cee ssa kkk How is it with you? Are you satisfied with the response you have made to this brave soldier’s appeal? Have you bought your limit of FOURTH Liberty Bonds? Have you made any real sacrifice to buy these bonds? Have you exhausted your savings to buy bonds? Have you used your credit to borrow money to buy bonds? If not, you haven’t made the proper response, nor done your full duty to your country and to humanity! Kach man and woman in Seattle and King County is listed for Fourth Liberty Bonds. Your ability to subscribe is known. You cannot escape. When the war is over, no excuses will go. Either you were in it or you were not. Either you strained your resources to buy Liberty Bonds or you forgot your obligation to those who fought and died for your flag. kk & *‘Not in vain, oh, God, not in vain!’ Do your full duty today, lest this boy’s words make restful sleep impossible. Above space has been paid for by the patriotic citizens who subscribed funds for the Fourth Liberty Loan publicity. epger"-ne 9-94 wp we wt Tee7cecs - esl BSeetssae seseera
