For the purpose of equipping with arms, clothing and food our gallant soldiers who have been called to the field; maintaining our Navy and our valiant tars upon the high seas; pro viding the necessary means to pay the wages of our soldiers and sailors and, if the bill now pending in the Congress passes, the monthly allow- | ances for the support of their de pendent families and to supply them with life insurance; constructing a j great fleet of merchant vessels to maintain the line of communication with our brave troops in France, and to keep our commerce afloat upon the high seas in defiance of the German Kaiser and his submarines. Creating a great fleet of aeroplanes, which will give complete supremacy in the air to the United States and the brave nations fighting with us against the German military menace; and for other necessary war purposes. The Congress of the United States has authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to sell to the American peo ple bonds of the United States bear ing four per cent interest, with val uable tax exemptions, and converti- '[ ble under certain conditions into other | issues of United . States bonds that i may be authorized by the Congress. The official circular of the Treasury Department gives full details. There is now offered to the Amer- j ican people a new issue of $3,000,000, 000 of bonds to be known as the Sec ond Liberty Loan. They will be is sued in such denominations and upon such terms that every patriotic citi zen will have an opportunity to assist the Government by lending his money upon the security of a United States Government bond. It is essential to the success of the war and to the support of our gallant troops that these loans shall not only be subscribed, but over-subscribed. No one is asked to donate or give his money to the Government; but every one is asked to lend his money to the Government The loans will be repaid in full with interest at the rate of four per cent per annum. A Government bond is the safest investment in the world; it is as good as currency and yet better, because the Government bond bears interest and currency does not. No other investment compares with* it for safety, ready convertibil ity into cash, and unquestioned avail ability as collateral security for loans in any bank in the United States. People by thousands ask the Treas- j ury constantly how they can help the j Government in this war. Through the purchase of Liberty Bonds every one can help. No more patriotic duty can be performed by those who cannot actually fight upon the field of bat tle than to furnish the Government with the necessary money to enable it to give our brave soldiers and sail ors all that they require to make them strong for the fight and capable of winning a swift victory over our ene mies. We fight, first of all, for America’s vital rights, the right to the unmo lested and unobstructed use of the high seas, so that the surplus products of our farms, our mines and our fac tories may be carried into the har bors of every friendly nation in the world. Our welfare and prosperity as a people depend upqn our right of peaceful intercourse with all the na tions of the earth. To abandon these rights by withdrawing our ships and commerce from the seas upon the order of a military despot in Europe would destroy and bring disaster and humiliation upon the American people. We fight to protect our citizens against assassination and murder up on the high seas while in the peaceful exercise of those rights demanded by international law and every instinct and dictate of humanity. We fight to presci've our democrat ic institutions and our sovereignty as a nation against the menace of a pow erful and ruthless military autocracy headed by the German Kaiser, whose ambition is to dominate the world. We fight also for the noble ideal of universal democracy and liberty, the right of the smallest and weakest nations equally with the most power ful to live and to govern themselves according to the will of their own people. We fight for peace, for that just and lasting peace which agonized and tortured humanity craves and which not the sword nor the bayonet of a military despot but the supremacy of vindicated right alone can restore to a distracted world. To secure these ends I appeal to every man and woman who resides upon the soil of free America and enjoys the blessings of her priceless institutions to join the League of Patriots by purchasing a Liberty Bond.
