The Enemy Is Watching
By NEWTON D. BAKER, Secretary of War
The supreme moments of our struggle with Germany have now come.
We have carried our first armies across three thousand miles of ocean and joined the issue of battle with the military power of a nation that has been for forty years preparing its plans and its weapons for its present attempt to dominate the world. We have had to put forth an immense effort and spend a fabulous
sum in order to make, in so short a time, an adequate beginning for our gigantic task.
But it is only our beginning. We must follow it with greater energy and support it with increasing power. Men, munitions, ships and supplies must go to Europe in a larger and larger stream. We must redouble our blows and add constantly to the strength of those blows, if our initial effort is not to be wasted.
This Means That Our Fourth Liberty Loan Must Be Larger Than Its Predecessors, More Enthusiastically Supported and More Quickly Than Ever Subscribed
The enemy is watching anxdously for the first sign that we are faltering.
Our Government Loans should go "over the top" as eagerly as our soldiers do, in order to carry with them the terror of furious attack. Our dollars must rain upon the enemy as overwhelmingly as our hail of bullets or our storm of shells.
We are fighting for the liberty of the world, for the triumph of our ideals of democracy and self-government over the last great advocate of force upholding injustice. We are buying with our Liberty Loans the security and joy of our people for generations to come. No price could be too high to pay for such a victory—no cost too great for such a purchase.
Lend the Way Our Boys Fight-To Your Very Utmost!
