“The time has come to conquer or sub- III

We have made it.” Jl
1 here are only two kinds ol people on American soil today—-those who are FOR AMERICA and those who are for Germany.
:! We are no longer Republicans or Democrats or Progressives or Socialists—we are either AMERICANS or TRAITORS. WK
are either doing everything in our power to help America and defeat the Kaiser—or else we’re helping to murder brave
American soldiers and helping the blood-smeared Kaiser to continue his unspeakable tortures on the helpless women and
girls and babes in France and Belgium. • :j
; It doesn’t make a particle of difference what country you were born in—it doesn’t make a particle of difference whether
vou were born in America or whether you came from Europe, Asia, Africa or the South Sea Islands—-if you’re loyal to the
United States and doing every thing you can to help the United States now when she needs your help, tnen you can count
yourself American. _ \

But if you turn against the United States—if you refuse to help the land that is giving you your bread and butter, your
home, vour chance to make a decent living, the countless blessings of freedom and opportunity that are found nowhere else
in all the world but in America, if you refuse to buy America’s Liberty Bonds when you are able to do so—then you ought to
be over in Central Europe fighting for the Kaiser there, under the Kaisers flag, not fighting for him here while you eat
America's bread and breathe the air of Freedom.
I You can't be for the Kaiser and for America, too. Remember that. And every’ man and woman who is for America, no mat
ter how poor that man or woman may be, is buying Liberty Bonds if it’s possible at all to scrape the money together.
Invest in a Government Bond. Be a Red-Blooded American.
