5y NEWTON D. BAKER. Secrefary of War

The supreme moments of bur struggle with Germany have now come. We have carried our first armies across three thousand miles of ocean and joined the issue of battle with the military power of a nation that has been for forty years preparing its plans and its weapons for its present attempt to dominate the world. We have had to put forth an immense effort and spend a fabulous

sum in order to make, in so short a time, an adequate beginning for cur gigantic task. But it is only our beginning. We must follow it with greater energy and support it with increasing power. Men, munitions, ships and supplies must go to Europe in a larger and larger stream. We must redouble our blows and add constantly to the strength of those blows, if our initial effort is not to be wasted.

The enemy is watching anxiously for . the first sign that we are faltering. Our Government Loans should go "over the top" as eagerly as our soldiers do, in order to carry with them the terror of furious attack. Our dollars must rain upon the enemy as overwhelmingly as our hail of bullets or our storm of shells.

We are fighting for the liberty of the world, for the triumph of our ideals of democracy and self-government over the last great advocate of force upholding injustice. We are buying with our Liberty Loans the security and joy of our people for generations to come. No price cauld be too high to pay for such a victory no cost too great for such a purchase.
