THE LIBERTY LOAN.

Necessity for Subscription, Appeal by Sir J. G. Ward. Fellow Citizens, — Encouraged by your magnificent response to my previous appeal, I approach you with • neat confidence to again support the eflltreliant policy yon then so heartily endorsed. The freedom of all free nations and the very existence of our Empire have been attacked as never before in this world's history, ine blood of our brave and noble defenders has mingled with that of our kindred and Allies in the vast stream which shall ere lone overwhelm with its flood the inhuman perpetrators of unspeakable atrocities / against the weak and defenceless. "The supreme effort is still in the future. That it will be made, and that it will succeed is as certain as that' the thrioe-wel-c:.ma daybreak ever succeeds the darkest ui.rhfc. Even now the day is breaking, but we must still go forward. We must still provide in full measure the funds necessary to finish the task so earnestly begun, so bravely continued. I fr-el sure you will not fail. I Eeol sure vour response to this, our liberty loan, will bo both prompt and adequate, and that the Treasury will be so replenished that means will be 'abundantly forthcoming to uphold the honour of those heroes who have died for our liberty and of those now battling for it against our powerful foes. Remember that no price is too dear to pay tor liberty. JosEi'ii Gbokob Ward.
