, PU 7,1r9 HE MICHIGLAN DAILY PAG THI
W HEN the fanfare of trumpets and the
the drummer's steady tatoo to the regular
step, step of our victorious returning cru-
saders dies down.
When the admiring, enthusiastic observers have cheered themselves
hoarse, and dispersed after the last ranks have passed in file,
When the boys, flushed with victory, return to their homes and reappear
in civilian dress,
What remains of the echo
of your resounding cheers?
Will it be a consciousness that during all the weary months they spent in
the mud in Flanders, in the snow of Archangel and Siberia, you have play-
ed your part as patriotically and devotedly as they played theirs?
Can yo ulook into the manly face of that boy of yours or your neighbor's
and say, "I also have fought the fight for liberty?"
You can if you have done the things that every really patriotic citizen
has done. If you have bought to your limit of previous Liberty loans-if
you buy again to your limit of the forthcoming VICTORY LIBERTY
LOAN--you can meet the returning heroes without fear of flinching.
The United States has pledged itself to pay six billion dollars which it
has borrowed on treasury certificates. To make this payment Uncle Sam
must depend upon the people of this nation. 'He must borrow from you
and your neighbors, pledging his word to repay you. The campaign for

the last loan is about to start. It has been named the Victory loan because
your boy and your neighbor's hoy helped achieve a victory. Be prepared
to volunteer your subscription to this loan.
