It is our sacred duty to buy Liberty bonds liberally to help win the war. The war is being fought for the benefit cf every American citizen. One man cannot do all the fighting. One man cannot buy all the Liberty bends. We must all help and work together to win. If we do not win, we, our children and their children, will bo working separately for the Kaiser and his princes for all gen erations to come. That must not happen. Better the forfeiture of every cent and death itself than suf fer tho fate of Belgium, Servia and Armenia. Russia tried to make peace without victory, and Oermany tried to slaughter her.
