COME ACROSS
FOR UNCLE Si
William S. Hart, of moving pic
ture fame, is one of the enthusiastic
advocates lor a general response to
the Government's appeal for sub
scriptions to ita Liberty Loans.
Here is what Hart says:
"Every American who has ac
cepted the great blessing that God
h."W3 given, and has lived the large
and fiee life bought by the blood
of many brave and devoted men,
and passed on to us a priceless heri
tage, has a chance now to repay.
it is for him at this instant to
t'"s'ify to the world what he knows
he owrs his country.
He should at once, and cheerfully,
give a little of hia goods that his
country has secured to him.
H® should promptly say to the
world, which is listening, and per
haps cynically criticising: "When
my country asks me for life or for
money I cheerfully offer both."
He shouJd demonstrate that pa
triotism is something greater and
more sacred than an idle senti
ment.
And in contributing according to
hi? means for the high purpose plac
ed befor* him by his President, he
s' ouTd appreciate that in, rreality
he is making 110 gift, but is in
vesting in the greatest security in
the world—TJIE PLEDGE OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."
