! MILLION MEN half of them in
France many more in training
But is this all their fight?
It takes ten men at work to keep one fighting man
at the front
It takes millions of dollars just to keep this army fed
It costs thousands of dollars every time one battery of big
guns lays down a barrage
Is it any wonder then, that the United States is
spending at the rate of fifty millions of dollars a day in
war and war plans? And with that grand total as the
interest on a far vaster principal, which must support this
colossal cost or all this task will have been in vain, whose
fight do you think this is?
The man's in the trench? The fellow's on the supply
train? The chap's on the gunner's deck?
No, it is yours
It R your fight, Mr. Banker yours, Mr. Manufac
turer years, Mr. Merchant yours, Mr. Mechanic
yours, Mr. Worker yours, Mr. Farmer. This fight is

yours all of you who are left behind, as much or even more
than it is the man's in the trench
For that man though three million strong cannot
raise a hand in the cause of democracy he cannot even
raise a hand in self-defense except for you.
He is potent only as you are potent He can fight
only as you will fight. The difference is only this: his
fight is expressed in nerve and ammunition yours in
work and dollars

The Fourth Liberty Loan is the world's biggest drive
back of the lines It is the test of the financial reserves of
this entire country of ours It will gauge the power that
you intend to put back of the fighting men in France for
the next half year or more to come
In fact it will show the value you place on the heri
tage of liberty which three million men have taken up arms
to defend for you to-day
Take care when you sign that subscription blank for
Liberty Bonds that the amount you set squares as nearly as
it can with all your heart acknowledges this heritage to be
worth to you
