PRESIDENT WILSONS REPLY TO THE GERMS MAS
ELECTRIFIED THE WORLD
x It means that the -Kaiser and his wicked creW of advisers must be
. taken into captivity and given merited punishment. The German army is
5 not entirely vanquished. The Huns' latest effort for peace is a desparate at
tempt to prevent an invasion of Germany. Hewill withdraw beyond the
Rhine and there undertake to preventran invasion of His country. He must
unconditionally surrender or receive in Germany that which he has for four
years dealt but to Belgium ahd Prance. '
Beyond the Rhine the Allied troops must make their supreme effort
and their greatest sacrifice. The entire civilian world must be active .to
make this sacrifice as greatas possible. President Wilson sayBvthathe
will send 250,000 men a month across the seas. TheT particular duty of the
Americans at home during this week is to oversubscribe the six billion dollar
liberty Loan. - : '.''',;,
' : The Hindenburg Line has been 'broken and' everywhere the Hun is rap
, , idly retreating to the German border. The crack of the rifle, the rat-tat-tat'.
of the machine gun, the ceaseless boom of the cannon in the hands of;tl.e
American soldiers yes, Lenoir county soldiers are relentlessly punishing
the Germans fleeing in disorder and confusion. The soldiers at the front are
, doing their ftart brayely and well. Whenthe story :,of the war is written
some of the brightest pages tof history will be filled with the various deeds of the NorthVGaro
. Una' troops. We at home owe the same duty as they. Let us have the proper conception of
that duty. It is only half performed when we subscribe for bonds in the amount that is con
venient; it will only be performed when we have subscribed to the extent of our ability meas
ured by the money we have and by the credit that we have.
v The long distance gun-6f the ages is the American Liberty Bond. : Every subscription
for a Liberty Bond is a craclc at the Germans as realy and truly as the shot fired from the gun
of steel. . Do not let any Lenoir county man be-content with only oncT crack, two, three, four,
' or five, but let him only be satisfied vhen he has fired as many of the Liberty Bond guns at
-the Huns as he is able to co . ' u,
Men and women here at home, General Pershing has ordered the boys frdm your mid
st to advance. They are advancing and the Germans are fleeing before theml Our President
has ordered us here at home to advance by subscribing ih Lenoir county for more than half a
million dollars of Liberty Bonds. As the boys over there have gone further than the order of
General Pershing first contemplated, 1st us likewise this week go further in subscriptions than
our President has commanded. '
