"Back on the Firing Line9 Yes, Sir
The war is practically won, but to put the proper finish as we must, the two
millions of men from America is to be increased to three millions before New
Year's and we are prepared to follow the three millions with another million,
and still another million later on, if need be.
Think of the glory of America with its flags being carried by four million
soldiers, giving the glare of liberty to the skies of the old countries where the
fighting is going, on and putting the flare of their new life into their fellow
soldiers.
To meet this unmistakable enemy of America requires guns, aeroplanes,
horses, supplies, camp equipments, ambulances, auto trucks, and the things
which eat up the six billions that the Secretary of the Treasury has called for.
It is not only an honor for this old city, in which we were born, but it is a
duty we owe its history, to rouse ourselves to realize the emergency that is
upon us over here until our part is fully done in furnishing men and money to
carry on tfye victories over there.
No resident of Philadelphia, living near its historic battlegrounds, or within
sound of the Independence Hall Bell ringing for its broken father, the Liberty
Bell, sheltered under the old steeple, must ever forget that the eyes of the entire
United States turn toward the Morning Star of Liberty which shone first upon
Valley Forge and the spot where the men assembled in Philadelphia and. did the
Declaration of Independence.
The Fourth Liberty Loan Must Be Subscribed
and Oversubscribed
that the world may be stirred afresh to a sense of the full and firm purpose
of the United States Government that the war is not to stop until thoroughly
and permanently fought out to a complete victory.
Let every man, woman and child in the city wake up to the tremendous
consequences of suffering if there be any setback to the war for want of ships,
for munitions, or lack of encouragement to General Pershing and his officers
and men in the line, white men, colored men, boys, Indians and the cowboys
of the West and the thousands of regiments of our own army and of our
Allies, whose pulses must quicken and whose hearts will swell with pride when
they read that we have rolled up and gone on to double the quota that had
been expected of this quiet but efficient city, when it rises to meet a duty
that must be thoroughly done.
. Yours for the Liberty Loan,
