An enemy who has grossly abused the power of or
ganized government and who seeks to dominate the
world by the might of the sword, challenges the rights
of America and the liberty and life of all the free
nations of the earth. Our brave sons are facing the
fire of battle in defense of the honor and rights of
* America and the liberty of nations. To sustain them
and to assist our gallant associates in the war, a gen
erous and patriotic people have been called upon to
subscribe to the Third Liberty Loan.
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of
the United States of America, do appoint Friday, the
twenty-sixth day of April, one thousand, nine hun
dred and eighteen, as Liberty Day. On the afternoon
of that day I request the people of the United States
to assemble in their respective communities and lib
erally pledge anew their financial support to sustain
the nation’s cause. Patriotic demonstrations should
be held in every city, town and hamlet throughout
the land under the general direction of the Secretary
of the Treasury and the immediate direction of the
Liberty Loan committees organized by the Federal
Reserve banks. Let the nation’s response to the
Third Liberty Loan express in unmistakable terms
the determination of America to fight for the peace,
the permanent peace of justice.
For the purpose of participating in Liberty Day
celebrations all employes of the Federal Government
throughout the country whose services can be spared
may be excused at 12 o’clock noon, Friday, the twen
ty-sixth day of April. j
In witness hereof, IJhave hereto set my hand and j
caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done in the District of Columbia this eighteenth
day of April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand,
nine hundred and eighteen, and of the independence j
of the United States of America, one hundred and j
forty-second.
WOODROW WILSON,
Robert Lansing, By the President.
Secretary of State.

Now Is the Time for Our Patriotism to Shot'

The President has set aside Friday, April 26, as Liberty Di .
Our city has set the day aside as Judgment Day. I
..... . • ’ _ >' %■> 3|
t It will be the day upon which EVERY citizen will judge t
patriotism of his neighbor. | ®
It will also be the day when every townsman must pass judgment upon
himself.
Your neighbor will pass judgment on you by the evidence you show—
by the button you wear or the honor flag in’your window.
You will pass judgment on yourself by the knowledge that you have
or have not done your full duty.
No man who has merely made a convenience subscription can possibly
“get by” if he honestly asks himself “Have I done all I should?”
No man who has bought less than he can save and pay for can square
himself with his conscience.
No firm which has made large profits can ever justify itself if it re
fuses to buy to the limit,
No firm which carries a large balance in the bank ,can justify itself
for refusing to invest a substantial part of jts reserve in Liberty'Bonds.
No firms or individuals can justify a refusal to buy less bonds than
they would buy if the facts were made public.
Note Presdent Wilson's words, "Liberally pledge ANEW." ^Thercis
the opportunity for the man or firm who has undersubscribed to pledge
ANEW—to make a second subscription that will measure up to his ability.
It is also the opportunity of the man who since he subscribed has found an
other way in which he can save and thus buy an extra bond.
We will observe Liberty Day by working harder than ever to sell
bonds—we will

Every home in the city will be visited on Liberty Day. Every person
will be given an opportunity to buy Liberty Bonds.
' No one will be missed. These men will carry Honor Flags to be put
oo your window, so that after Friday your neighbors will know if you have
^ bought a bond.
Talk it over in the family circle and decide how big a bond you will
buy—then be sure to have on hand the exact change to make the first
payment [$2.50 on a $50 bond—$5.00 on a $100 bond]. You will be
given an official receipt which will be accepted at any bank at the face
value as'first payment on your bond. Be ready when the men come, and
you will save your time and theirs.
Remember, you don’t have to pay for all of your bond now; you can
arrange with your bank to pay for it with as little as a dollar a week if you
wish.
It's time we know where everybody stands.
Buy Bonds if You Want to Stand Square
