The opportunity exists for every person in South Carolina to add to this force that shall, in tha end, overcome the despicable and ruthless program of tha German war lords, “the Thing without conscience or the capacity for honor, which has revealed Itself as the German power." « In concrete terms, tha force which the Presldqpt baa 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 Knlser’e legions rolling back to the Rhine, that will make the German autocracy pay dniarly 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 Savtaga and Thrift Stamps you are adding to that great force. It la the duty of everyone to help swell that great force.
