C.,?"Germany has ice more said that force, and force one, shs.ll determine the destinies mankind," declared President ilson, iri hurling back America's fiant response to Germany's chal nge, aim, in wuius vuicmg uic rhting spirit that dominates Amer*, he added: "There is, therefore, it one response possible from us: rce, force to the utmost, force ithout stint or limit!" The President's stirring utterance a ringing call to the men, women id children of America, the War ivings Committee points out a speal appeal. "The opportunity ex3 for every person in South Caro1a to add to this f,orce that shall, the end, overcome the despicable ^ ruthless program of the German EREA vice Sta ught a regular 01 ing and rechargir Df our men has g< i this kind of wor I be prepared to ally. _ ON US! pGarj Phone 58 war lords. The thing without con-' science or the capacity for honor, which has revealed itself as the German power. "In concrete terms, the force which the President has pledged consists of soldiers, sailors, ships, arms, service, ammunition, and supplies?all directed in an unending, relentless stream against the enemy. "And only the money and savings of the Americans at home can create the final force that will send the Kaiser's legions rolling back to the Rhine, that will make the German autocracy . pay dearly for the fearful crimes it has committed against mankind. "It is the mission of the War Savings movement to provide for the government the very force it needs. Through investing in War Savings and Thrift Stamps you are adding to that great force. It is the duty of everyone to swell that great force. Not until you have loaned the government every cent you can spare, even if you must sacrifice luxuries, will you have done your duty. "Invest in the interest bearing War Savings Stamps. They represent patriotism plus profit. Buy them often. Every time you buy one you are adding to America's irresisuioie force, to the force that will inevitably shatter the arrogant dreams of the Geman war lords?the force that will bring a peace that is honorable and safe."
