Third Liberty Loan
THE ENEMY
WE MUST MEET
By William Allen White
(Mr. White, editor, author and King ol
the war and all of its many angles while
on an extended visit to the various battle
lines of the Allied armies.)
Back of the German lines every
ounce of food is conserved, and dis
tributed with fairly equitable pre
clsion; every yard of cloth is nuin
bcred and Is entered Into tbe war
: trenglh of the empire. Every penny
weight of German coal is handled
with scientific care, and the one end
and aim of all this autocratic control
of food and clothing and heat is the
v inning of the war. There is no other
purpose in the German mind. Every
German mark is a German soldier;
every grain of gold is doing its full
share to work out that indomitable
purpose.
Here in America we must realize
that the war will not be won on any
front, but in our own hearts. This is
a clash of civilizations. We must de
velop in our hearts a democratic pur
pose as strong and as carefully direct
ed as this autocratic purpose of Ger
many. We, too, must make soldiers
i f our corn stalks, make defenders of
our wool and cotton and silk, make
every pound of coal an American
pound, and we must make bullets of
our pennies, if we fail to develop this
democratic purpose in the eye to eye,
knee to knee, hand to hand, struggle
on the front, which, after all, only
reflects the strength of our convic
tion, then our civilization will go
down. To fall to support our soldiers
with ammunition, with food, with
clothing, with coal, will weaken them
for the great conflict at the great mo
ment, and that weakening will come
from our hearts at home. It wiil
come if we are slow wdth our finan
cial support of the men. The Liberty
Loan furnishes us with the only way
we home-stayers can practically show
our purpose. Our patriotism will be
measured by our performance toward
the Liberty Loan. What we lend to
iur country in this time of need will
measure our love of the freedom our
fathers bought. It Is at stake. The
autocratic purpose of Germany, Iron
willed and yet unbroken, aimed at
world conquest Is threatening us.
What is freedom worth to you? It Is
worth what you lend to your govern
ment In this hour of its awful need.
Your Choice}
bonds or
bondage?
Will you lend your
money and be free -
or
hoard it now and pqy
it out in Tribute when
Liberty is lost ?
IS AMERICA AWAKE?
As much as has been said and writ
ten in America about the World-War
In Europe, it Is doubtful If America is
yet awake.
A man who returned from Europe
six months ago, said, “The farmers of
America are feeding to their cattle
today better food than millions of
people in Germ&ny and Austria have
had at times. These people whose
governments are fighting us are sub
slsling on cow beets and straw bread
All Europe is short-rationed and
hungry.
This Is our war from now on. What
happens In Europe 1b America’s deep
est concern. There is not enough food
in the world. Either our soldiers must
skimp their rations or we must skimp
ours, ‘either they must do without
some necessities or we must do with
out some of our luxuries.
Which shall it he?
Count on the Tomorrows. What
will your business be worth if we
should lose the war tomorrow? What
v.ould you give for a farm in Russia
today? What would you give for a
farm in America If conditions were :
such as they are In Russia today? j
Help firoduce, help conserve, and help
fight by buying Liberty Bonds, for
"he also fights who helps a fighter
fight" I
SERGEANT BAILEY
WRITES MR. WITHNELL,
BI T RECEIVES NO REPLY
Omaha, Neb., March 19.
Mr. C. H. Withnell:
Sir—About four years ago our Col
ored fire captains were taken from
us. The Colored people of Douglas
county are not satisfied and want oui
Colored fire department, No. 11, to he
represented with Colored captains.
If Irwin and Turner were not satis
factory, and their conduct was th'
cause of their being relieved from
duty, we feel there are a number ol
worthy Colored men in the city ol
Omaha who could fill their places with
credit to themselves and the great city
of Omaha.
Now, Mr. Withnell, I request that
you appoint two more Colored men tr
Fire Department No. 11; that you se
lect two men from said company No.
11, two Colored captains on or befoie
May 1, 1918.
Should you refuse this request you
will feel my power among the Colored
voters in May.
An immediate answer is requested
Very respectfully,
SERGEANT BAILEY.
2816 Pratt Street.
I desire to call the attention of the
Colored voters of our city to the above
Utter, which I wrote Mr. Withnell
some time ago and to which, up to the
present, I have received no reply;
neither has Mr. Withnell made any
move to restore Colored captains tc
Company No. 11. He has had ample
time to do it. He has temporized and
violated his promise. Do you think w.
ought to vote for him May 7 ?
SERGEANT BAILEY.
