- Inscription AVENGE THEM! " The Canadians have seen their own men crucified. One hesitates to believe this, but no one who talks personally to the scores of living men who have witnessed the spectacle can doubt them when they assert that they came upon their comrades dead and dying, crucified after a German retreat!"- -Report of William Allen White. ; And not one-tenth has been told or will ever be known. You and every clean-minded American grow hot with rage at each fresh report of the Kaiser's system of savagery. You must have the courage to look at the cold facts and fight - -fight this thing through to its end of ends - with every ounce of energy in every way you can. Buy Liberty Bonds with the money you've saved, then buy more on installments with all you can possibly spare in the months to come, and thank God for the opportunity!; This space contributed by patriotic business firms of Philadelphia; Liberty Loan Committee, Third Federal Reserve District, Lincoln Building, Philadelphia.; There is an immediate and urgent need for every dollar you can spare. You are only lending, not giving your money. Your government guarantees the return of your money with interest of 4¼%. THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!
