"At the outbreak of the great war the
united States Wnsj shocked by the sudden
Ai.d horrible natura of the conflict. Wo did
rat understand lis causes. Wo thought It
atrs only a Kuropean struggle and felt sat
isfied that we wero safe from Its dcstruclUc
Influence.
"But tho war spread from Huiope to sia
anil Africa It ni extended from land to
sea. American commerce win Interfered
with Then began tho Gorman polio of
, flnUlnit unarmed ships, first of her enemies
-nly, then American and other neutral c-
41s Against this policy the I'nlled State
, Mrongly protested, and Oernnny sccniliifflj
5, changed her tactics.
K "In the fall of 1916. when she had TeaUicd
1 jtne greatest possible military success, (ler-
. man proposed peace on terms which would
ha, made her the dominant porr In the
world. Neutral States were clearly m earned
that If they did not help to brlnic about
peaco on this basis their commcico would
be ruthlessly attacked
"Despite this Insulting Urn-eat. President
v "Wilson attempted to bring nbout unUersal
peace. He asked all the warring Powers
on what basis they would stop the war
The reply of Germany was unsatisfactory,
the replies of the Allies showed their de
sire to recognize the rights) of all nations
"In January. 1917, the President In an nd
flress to Congress, held up to the world his
Ideal of a league of nations. In which the
nations should gle up their armies and
nales. The pcaco of the world shou'd bo
- protected by a common army and naj
"While the United States had been using
all Its Influence to bring about Ji Just nnd
lasting pace. the German Cernment was
Imply gaining time, as her Chancellor nft
eri arils stated, to build submarines These
submarines were to be used to cut off all
commerce with her enemies On February
3, 1917, the new submarine w.irfaro was
begun Three days later the German Am
bassador was told to leac Washington
."The German Goernment started vigor
ously on Its submarine policy It was. as
the President said, 'a warfare against man
kind,' "a war against nil nations,' i dial
ler e to all mankind
On April 2, 1917. tho President addressed
the special session of Congress, ndxlslng
them that the course of the German Go
rnment was. In fact, war against the Gov
ernment and the people of the United
States; that In such a gocrnment as that
of Germany we could never have a friend
, With it lIng In wait, there could le no
security for democratic govjrnmcnts any
'where In tho w orld. ,
"On April 6, the two Houses of Congress
by overwhelming otes, declared that a
.state of war existed between tho. United
-Stites and the Imperial German Govern-
went. The United S,tates had entered the
.world war.
"Tomorrow we shall note In detail the
real causes of our entrance Into It "

Our second
battle is on!
i j
The first we wonwon handsomely! Germany sneered
when we talked of war sneered and went on sinking Ameri
can ships, slaughtering American citizens, plotting against
American liberty.
Then America awoke, and struck! Her men and women,
opened up their purses in a great outpouring of wealth to raise
and train an army. That opening battle has added another
glorious page to our history.
But still Germany sneers!
Today this first loan is exhausted! Shall we shut our eyes
to the terrible penalty we must pay if we turn back, leaving
our soldier and sailor sons to their fate, or shall we see this
thing through like men?
What is your answer to the Second Liberty Loan a loan
which exceeds in generosity even the previous offer of the Gov
ernment? 4 interest, payable semi-annually.
Backed as security by the entire resources
of the United States, the richest nation on
he globe.
i tj-
Available in denominations as low as
$50.
Bonds purchasable in easy installments
a dollar down and a small payment weekly.
t
Bonds may readily be converted into cash
at any time.
That, in brief, is your Governments offer. It does not ask
that you give your money, but that you loan it. And if this
loan is not subscribed, if our troops are left to starve and freeze,
to meet the Hun with empty hands and die neglected, then we
ourselves will have merited the same fate that will surely over
take us.
