BACKING LINE WITH BONDS
Support of Battle Forces Extend*
From France to Your Own
Doorway.
It was Just after the American
troops had taken over their first sec
tor on the Western front one day last
fall. An English officer was talking
with an American captain who had
just come hack from a tour of duty in
the trenches. They were talking mili
tary problems and the Englishman
asked:
"What is the depth of the Amoctr
can front?”
' From the German barbed wire in
No Man's Land to the Pacific Coast.”
was the American officer's answer.
Of course, the Englishman referred
to a military technicality when he
asked Ills question, and yet the Ameri
can captain was right. He told the
whole story of American participation
in the war when he made it plain that
ail of America is in the battle front.
America had not been in this war

o Hi.
people sta>ed on at home and wein.
about their business and life went
along undisturbed. We know better
now We realize we are all in the
struggle
All Are Enlisted.
Those who cannot fight, who can
not work in war plants, who cannot
help in Y. M. C. A. huts or Red Cross
hospitals can help nevertheless. The
Liberty Loans offer an opportunity
for every man and woman in America,
for every American under the pro
tecting shadow of the Stars and
Stripes to help support the battle front
of America far across the seas in
! ETurope ,
The front reaches all the way back
to our pay envelopes, to the money
| that was brought in for a load of
wheat, to the returns from a corn
j crop, for building a house, for a day 's
I work at the mill or in Uie fields.
Every bond that is bought strength
ens the American front by just that
much. It makes it just that much
1 easier for the Americans to drive the
j Huns back. It stiffens the American
line by just so murh against those
grim massed attacks of field gray
shock troops that Von Ludendortf
loves to send against the Allied lines.
Kvery Bioerty Bona is neiping tne
Americans, It is helping the French
and the English and Italians, who are
fighting as they have never fought
before. It helps hold all the more
solidly that deep American front that
stretches back of No Man's Land and
reaches all the way across the At
lantic, across the Alleghenies, across
the wide stretches of the Middle West,
across the Great Plains and wall of
the Rockies and ends at last at tha
Pacific beaches.
That is what the American front is
like for depth, and it is us wide as * he
country that stands back of ui- ana u.a
solid as the credit of Americas nsti
; tutions.
Must Keep Front Soli®.
It can be kept as solid and enduring
as the Rockies by every American lin
ing up to tajte his share of the Liberty
Loan that is at hand It cannot bo
kept solid and safe in any other way.
It takes money to fight wars and sup
port armies. It takes more money to
build merchant ships and destroyers
and submarine chasers.
, Every one of us will have to think
this out honestly and carefully. » It
won’t do to just buy as small a bond
as we can afford to buy. The Ameri
] can front is weakened by that kind of
patriotism. When the time comes to
sign up for the Fourth Liberty Loan
take every dollar you can spare and
get Into it for all you can possibly
afford. It is a good investment, none
better In the history of the world, and
it is helping to bolster up that Ameri
can front that is going to smash into
the Kaiser’s domain one of these day»
and send the whole German nation
crashing down to defeat.
When you buy a bond you are mak
ing it certain that the American front
is being supported all the way from
France to your ow n doorway. It makes
you a part of that magnificent body of
fighters who are massing over in
France to put an end to the Kaiser’s
dream of levying tribute from a one#
free America.
