Jj WASHINGTON. March 26.—Posters
H proclaiming the third Liberty loan in
H striking phrases and colorful designs
ii —nine million of them in more than
j§ a dozen styles—now are being dis
ig tribujed to every city and hamlet of
v the United States.
H They are the silent sales agents of
jg the bonds, and their preparation has
H taken months of planning and care
' ful choosing. Hardly had the second
■ Liberty loan campaign closed before
jj the country’s foremost artists and de
fl signers were invited to go to work on
j§ posters for the third loan.
i§ The result is a collection of striking
yg posters, considered artistically and
a psychologically better than any yet
ig attempted in the two previous loan
jj j drives. Soon they will be familiar
M aigbts in store windows, on bill boards,
J and all public places.
§S In addition, five million window
8 stickers, fifty million poster stamps,
p§ and sixteen million badges have been.
3? ordered and will be ready for the open *
j ing day of the campaign.
j§ Some of the designers of the Liberty
jj loan posters are Howard Chandler!
B ^Christy, Joseph Pennell, J. C. Yeyen
S decker, Sydney Riesenberg, Herbert!
j Paus, Henry Raleigh and Sydney S.
y Stern. All contributed their work
jj without pay, and scores of other art
|j ists submitted designs which were re
H luctantly rejected,
g Popular appeal was considered care.
H fully in the final choice.
U “We must reach all kinds and
gg classes of persons,” Treasury officials
y reminded themselve continually. They
. h°Pe to grip the heart-strings—and
1 equally the purse strings—of the
| young and old, the city and country
fl bred, the native American and the:
jj adopted alien.
fl One of the most striking posters—
| that of Joseph Pennell, the Philadel
jj I1*1!® marine artist—portrays a great
g battleship alongside wharves bustling
with war-time activity—motor trucks,
y swinging cranes, and smoking stacks, j
with airplanes overhead. It is ex- (
ecuted in etching style, and the title
|| subscribed is: “Provide the Sinews of |
War, Buy Liberty Bonds.”
Howard Chandler Christy con
tribtftd^MP' stirring design. A slim
young tfdernized goddess of liberty
waves a|o:t an American banner, and
with outgit’etehed arm points to a file
of soldien marching past. “Fight or
Buy Bondi” is the title.
A poster which will arrest instant
attention shows a steel-helmeted
America^ soldier springing from a
trench ^ml bearing a billowing Amer
ican flag, “Over the Top For You—
Buy U. is. Government Bonds—Third
Liberty (Loan’’ is the message it car
ries. The work was done by Sydney
Riesenberg.
The tact that many naturalized
Americans contributed largely to the
success of the first and second Liberty
loans has been recognized and one of
the posters was planned particularly
for distribution in the foreign language
sections of the cities. A sturdy immi
grant, With his wife and boy, are seen
in the foreground, with flag behind,
and the words of the advice are: “Re
membei the flag of Liberty. Support
It. Bu U. S. Government Bonds.”
The Lincoln poster has attracted
much & tention in advance of its gen
eral pu blication. It shows a bronze
tablet Gth a bas relief of the mar
tyred resident, the quotation from
his Get ysburg address: “So that gov
ernmen by the people, of the people,
and foi the people shall not perish
from t to earth." The words “Buy
Liberty? Bonds” have been added.
“Halt1 the Hun” is the watchword
proclaimed by another poster showing
a stalwart American soldier smiting
the belgieted figure of the enemy about
to seizq a crouching woman with her
child, ^ienry Raleigh drew the design
in crafon, with a buff background
Btreakeii with red flames.
. The figure of a little girl clasping a
Liberty' bond to her breast, adorns
one of the posters with this subscrip
tion: My Daddy Bought Me a Govern
ment Bond, Third Liberty Loan. Did
Yours’ Publicity directors of the
loan regard it as one of the most ap- i
pealing' of their entire collection.
An agricultural poster depicts a
’armer lad in khaki bidding farewell
o his father, saying: "Good-bye, Dad,
”m Off to Fight for Old Glory. You
my l- S. Government Bonds.”
Indepen(ience y?ajj js Bhown on one

n a corner. “Ring it Again, Buy U. S.
Jovernment Bonds,” is the inscription.
Are \ou 100 per cent American ”

by Sidney S. Sterns, a young New
York artist.
Herbert Paus has contributed an
other of the soldier designs, showing
a group of fighting men climlng over
the trench top. with the inscription
“To Make the World a Decent Place
ito Live In.” The dark figures are sil
houetted against a lurid sky.
For billboards, the publicity man
ager has arranged a huge design of a
soldier asleep, with No-Man’s Land in
, the distance, and above him in a vign
ette the embodiment of his dreams of
victory—cheering troops marching
homeward. “Make His Dreams Come
True,” the poster preaches. “Buy U. S.
Government Bonds. Third Liberty
Loan.”
Another poster portrays a child at
his mother’s knee, praying for the
safety and victory of his brother in
France, in these words:
“Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
God bless my brother gone to war,
Across the seas, in France so far.
Oh, may he fight for Liberty,
Save millions more than little me
From cruel fates or ruthless blast. ,
And bring him safely home at last.”

The drifts were immense and caused
