EL PASO HERALD
What Will Be Your Answer
on
June
28th?
Many American ships with many American lives are at the bottom of the Atlantic victims'
of German lust for blood.
Our boys are going "over there' through a sea of hostile submarines to fight that you
'and I at home may be safe.
But we can do something. It may not be much but what we can do we must do. Germany said to us
"You .cannot cross the ocean with your men! You cannot fight us because you cannot reach us!" And now
she is waiting for our answer.
. :
June 28th National War Savings Day
Every man woman and child is going to ioin in an answer that can be heard
from one end of Germany to the otheran answer so clear so strong and so true
that it may have a far greater effect than any of us can imagine on Germans
future policy.
Lot this be our answer let every person in this great land pledge himself to
I buy as many War Savings Stamps as he can possibly afford. Let's show German
iauiocracy that sinking our -ships and killing our men only stirs us to action.
Let's make June 28th memorable in the history of our country as National
W. 5. 5. Day. Let's you and I and every you and I man woman and child
lesdve tnat before we go to bed that night we will have as many War Savings
Stamps pasted on our War Savings Certificates as we can buy.
If every man woman and child will rise to this occasion and buy stamps you
can bet that the Kaiser will know what it means. If every one of the hundred
million Americans buys only one War Savings Stamp that day the Government
will have 425 million dollars.
But thai is not enough. We must pledge five times that Our quote for the
nation is two billion dollars to. be raised througrTlhe sale of War Savings Stamps
this year.
Let's not wait until another transport is blown up. Let's not wait-until full-
page casualty lists start coming in from France. Let's make up our minds to get
busy and when each of us goes to bed that night let's be able to say to ourselves
" Well perhaps I have not done much but I have at least shown the mothers of
our boys that I am behind them and I have sent an answer to the Kaiser that w2
make him stop and think."
