can Consul A. Curtis Roth.
Now can any American have any
further doubt as to the kaiser's de
sighs, Or to the methods of collec
tion he employs?
Having thus proved beyond the
possibility of a doubt that the kaiser
is bent upon the conquest of Ameri
ca if he'can achieve it, and he col
lects the last cent of tribute at the
point of the bayonet, is there one
single reason why "an American
should not offer to loan his dollars
to Uncle Sam? '
If we Americans refuse to loan
our dollars to our own government
now, you can rest assured that we
will give them to the kaiser, if our
boys over there are defeated. And
defeated they will be if they are not
backed up by our money and the
food, ammunition, ships and service
