Many American ships with many American lives are at the bottom of the Atlantic, victims of German lust for blood. Our boys are going "over there," through a sea of hostile submarines, to fight that you and 1 at home may be safe. But we can do something. It may not be much, but what we can do we must do. Germany said to us, "You cannot cross the ocean with your men! You cannot fight us, because you cannot reach us!" And now she is waiting for our answer.

Jime 28th National War Savings Day

Every man, woman and child is going to join in an answer that can be heard from one end of Germany to the other an answer so clear, so strong and so true that it may have a far greater effect than any of us can imagine, on Germany's future policy. Let this be our answer let every person in this great land pledge himself to buy as many War Savings Stamps as he can possibly afford. Let's show German autocracy that sinking our ships and killing our men only stirs us to action. Let's make June 28th memorable in the history of our country as National W. S. 5. Day. Let's you and I and every you and I, man, woman and childresolve that before we go to bed that night we will have as many War Savings Stamps pasted on our War Savings Certificates as we can buy.

If every man, woman and child will rise to this occasion and buy stamps, you can bet that the Kaiser will know what it means. If every one of the hundred million Americans buys only one War Savings Stamp that day, the Government will have 425 million dollars. But that is not enough. We must pledge five times that Our quota for the nation is two billion dollars, to be raised througFTthe sale of War Savings Stamps this year. Let.'s not wait until another transport is blown up. Let's not wait until fullpage casualty lists start coming in from France. Let's make up our minds to get busy and when each of us goes to bed that night let's be able to say to ourselves, " Well, perhaps I have not done much, but I have at least shown the mothers of our boys that I am behind them, and I have sent an answer to the Kaiser that will make him stop and think.' ,
