AMERICAN PEOPLE READY TO COMPLETE THE JOB

Victory Liberty teen Must Succeed to e Degree in Keeping With Success es Farmer Lyons. By CHAPtLKB H. BCHWEPPE, Director of Victory Liberty Lean Cam* patgn, Seventh Federal Reserve District. Despite the feet that hostilities have ceased and preliminary steps to the signing of e peace treaty been taken, our big war Job is not finished. The Job will not be completed until the war bills ire paid end the slate of the Ration Is clean. Those of us who remained on this side of the water still have work to do to polish off the great victory won by our soldiers and sailors, and the work before us Is as patriotic and essential at that already accomplished. The Victory Liberty Loan must succeed to e degree In keeping with the success of the four previous loins. Thle success cen be attained only through the efforts and enthusiasm of the entire people. Liberty Loan o«gsaltations must put Into their efforts the same vim and fire that characterised their work In the previous loans. The people must do everything within their power to eld the organizations In performing the task that-Is as much theirs as In the time when the nation was warring.

■pie spirit of thanksgiving should peiwuats the American atmosphere—should dominate the heart of every dtlsen, for If It had not been for the extensive preparation to fight the central powers until victory perched upon our banner the war would have been prolonged Indefinitely, with o consequent- loss of thousands of lives that otherwise were saved to us when the German general staff acknowledged the futility of continuing the struggle for world domination. The great victory was achieved veryjargely through the shells that were never exploded, through the soldiers that did not go across, and through the general preparations In other directions. The American people cen give expression to their thanksgiving by .subscribing to the limit of their ability In making the Victory Liberty Loan an overwhelming success. - . The fullness of the great victory will not be realized until the war bills are paid and ell the boys brought home. The expenses of the war have been huge, but America set out to win the war at any cost and now, with victory secure, the American people stand ready to complete the Job assigned to them—providing the money necessary to win the victoryHELP “FINIEH THE JOB."—
