Show WOMEN MUST HOP RAISEWAR FUNDS Lovers of Home and Country Called to the Colors. ALL CAN BUY LIBERTY BONDS Wives, Sisters, : Mothers, Sweethearts Never Before Called Upon to Play Such a Vastly Important Part Lend Your Money. (By DOROTHY DIX.) Buy a Liberty bund, Indies. No mat-ter mat-ter how many you have bought before, stretch a point nnd buy another. You can't shoulder a gun and go ofl ao,i light for your couniry, as the men arc (loins. You can't put on a nurse's uniform and go and nurse wounded soldiers or drive an ambulance or work in a munition factory, as many other lromoa are doing, hut you can do your tit by backing up these other men nnd women, who are risking their lives to jifeml you with your money. Without' gnus and munitions, with-,i!t with-,i!t food and clothes, without hospital r,:i;iiies, the army in France is just so tiKiny sheep led to the slaughter; if we lot them die for the lack of the things that money buys, their blood is on our heads, and our crime against tliti.i will he blacker than the Bodies, heoause they trusted us. It takes money, money, money and yet DKire money to carry on war, nnd this war is to he the war of the longest long-est poeketbook. It is the last ton of bombs, the last load of shrapnel, and the last big gun that will thunder out victory. Therefore, if we want to win this war, we must find more money, at it is particularly up to us women, who can fight with our hands, to f.-i.t with our dollars, nnd pour them Hie water at Uncle Sam's feet. Women's Greatest Sacrifices. Id no war in all history have women wom-en boon called upon to play such a tre-mJuus tre-mJuus part as in this war. Never !;: re have women hnd to give eo car.y of their husbands and sons and h.-uthors to be cannon fodder. N)er Live women before gone into the tranches and fought side by side with in. Never have they gone into fac-lori'-s to make munitions of war with ;h;ir own hands. Never have they h.d to take ttLon their shoulders the h-;:vy burdens of hard physical labor :'. :.t men laid down when they went tj.-.h to battle. And never before did :;r country call ou women to mnke s'l.h sacrifices as they are called on to make now. It is because this war touches worn-K worn-K more nearly in every way than any L'..-r war has ever done, because more lumen's hearts have been broken by it, more women impoverished and ct'ie homeless, more mothers have s-'n their babes slain before their eyes, tore mothers have beheld their young fc.'htters ravished, that women must ii-e their utmost effort to put an end to war. Women must see to it that there is c"v"r another war to lay waste to the ''orhl acd drench it with women's tli;;rs, and this can only be accomplish-& accomplish-& by our winning this war. And to do that we must have money, lot every woman who has some lf,":d one at the front buy a Liberty b''d. Let every woman who has a t-srthstone that she would keep safe '"J.v a Liberty bond. Let every worn-Eo worn-Eo who has a babe that she loves, or 1 young daughter whose purity she v"Uld guard, buy a Liberty bond. Reasons Are Numerous. Let every woman who has a particle of sympathy in her soul for the forlorn for-lorn women and children of Belgium ' France buy a Liberty bond. Let fvcry woman who believes in justice, -i freedom, and right buy a Liberty t 'Ed. Let every woman who, hates "ar and craves for peace buy a Lib-,r'7 Lib-,r'7 bond. The trip that you had planned, the "w frock you were going to get, how Itifuy small is the sacrifice of these fr,f the sake of those who are sacri-fio,r'g sacri-fio,r'g their lives to protect you and fours. Euy all the Liberty bonds you can, EC1 then go in debt for some more, so you prove yourself a worthy da?liter of Uncle Ram. This is a time when money talks tells the kind of a patriot you are. The woman who hasn't a bunch of j-'krty bonds if she's rich, or who sa't paying on a Liberty bond if she's fr. is a traitor to her country and s'10u'd hang her head in sha:ne every 'lre she passes a man in khaki or e's the fold of the red, white, and 0e floating over her unworthy head. |
