PROCLAMATION
The arrival at Washington of British and French war missions for consulta
tion with the national authorities over conduct of the war is one of the most
Important events In the history of the I'nlted States, for It matks the entrance
of our Government Into art active participation In world affairs for the purpose of
bringing to other lands tho liberty under law wc have enjoyed for 141 years. As
this liberty was proclaimed and this republic founded In the city of Philadelphia,
It has been deemed appropriate to Invito tho special envoys repieiienttng the
British and French nations; to visit this city and be welcomed within the walls of
Independence Hall, In tho very loom whero the fathers of tho Republic signed the
Declaration of Independence, which gavo us the liberty we now seek to glvo to
other -peoples.
Our Invitation has Veen accepted by the French envoys, and the city will
entertain as Its guests of honor, some time dining tho coming week, a body of
men who represent the highest citizenship of our sister republic, France France,
who came to our assistance In the darkest hour of our great struggle for
Independence.
Philadelphia in thus Inviting this distinguished body of foreigners to visit
and be entertained by the municipal government and people challenges com
parison between the Philadelphia of the Declaration and the Philadelphia tjf
today. Patriotism was the note which distinguished Philadelphia in 1776;
patilotiam should be the note to distinguish Philadelphia in the year 19J7, tfhere
is, therefore, laid upon the people of this city a special duty to manifest. In every
possible manner during the visit of our distinguished guests, devotion to the prin
ciples for which this Government stands, together with high appreciation of the
compliment paid to the old Mother City of the Republic by the presence, within
her .boundaries of the French envoys.
That this testimony of patriotic sentiment may find outward and visible
manifestation to the fullest extent, I Urge a free display not' only tof our own
flag, but of the flag of France. I would also ask that, as far as possible, citizens
wear the, colors ot the visiting envoys and of our own republic, thus giving a
concrete nnd visible expression to that unity of purpose necessary to an early
lylctory for our allied arms and the establishment of a world-wide peace,

"The folks at homo can give the

the American soldiers until it is
worn out."
Send them to the following ail

The Government Loan
A little over a century ago our Country was
confronted with the problem of financing
the War of 1812.
Several loans were negotiated, the first bear
ing date of March, 1812, although the actual
conflict did not begin until the month of June.
At the end of the war the total indebtedness of our
Government amounted to $127,334,933, which,
although a large sum in those days, was liquidated
by 1835.
The War Loan which will shortly be offered
for subscription will probably amount to $2,000,
000,000, an enormous amount, but proportion
ately to the times no greater than the war loan
which was so successfully liquidated one hundred
years ago.
Subscriptions to the New Loan will be
received by this Company without any charge to
the subscriber or to the Government.
