America's Coming of Age
By DR. FRANK CRANE
America is coming of age.
The nation's hundred years of democracy have been but the
preparation for its manhood.
It is a cheap jibe to say that America wa3 unprepared for this
war. It has had the mightiest preparation in the history of
nations. For over a century Destiny has been preparing in this
New World a spirit of triumphant Democracy. Such a spirit
cannot be made. It must be grown, inbred.
On this Western Continent Destiny has been training the
young Galahad for the rescue of the world.
Nature has an antidote for every poisoa
American Democracy Is the Antidote for
German Autocracy
Every one of our wars has been for the
same purpose: to liberate the common man.
The Revolution of 1776 was to get the
privileged class of England off the backs of
the American Colonists who were redeem
ing this wilderness.
The War of 1812 was to rescue Ameri
can seamen from oppression.
The Mexican War was to liberate the
settlers of Texas from the whimsy cruelty
of Mexico.
The Spanish War was to save the people
of Cuba from the tyranny of the Spanish
Government
Every time our army and navy have
gone forth it has been to clean up some
filthy autocracy.
But all of our wars have been but a prep
aration for our present task. We did not
realize it. No man foresees his destiny, no
nation foresees its mission. Yet the life of
every nation, as of every man, is a plan of
God.
God has been piling up riches on this
continent until we are the wealthiest
nation in the world. He has been sharpen
ing our inventive skill and our business
ability. Our training has been intensive.
Now God says, "America you are
come of age. All I have done for you is
to prepare you for the present conflict,
for your real work. Go forth and make
the world a decent place to live in."
At this time every son of America is
called upon to do his utmost. The
slacker is a traitor.
We are sending men across the ocean,
men who are physically and mentally the
pick of the world, an incomparable army.
But the men at home must back them up.
It is as much our solemn duty to put
our money into the Fourth Liberty Loan
as it is the duty of the soldier to stand firm
at his post in battle.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is to be our
supreme effort God helping us, we shall
not be found wanting. Let us subscribe
all we can, and a little more.
America, Civilization, Democracy
Humanity, expect every man to do his duty

WHAT IS YOUR SHARE?
Let your full subscription be your answer to the
question of how you will share in the coming victory.
Be true to yourself and to the men who are fighting
for you. Here is a table that will help you to figure
out how many Bonds to buy in the Fourth Liberty
Loan :
