Your boy's life!
How much is it worth?
BEFORE November 11th, there was scarcely a home in America which did not -daily send up prayers for the safety of its soldier son.
Churches were always open. All through the day, men and women knelt and prayed — silently. But one could hear their prayers as plainly as if they had been spoken.
Before November 11th, you would freely and gladly have given outright your every possession to insure the safety of your boy in France. Millionaires would have given their millions. Poor folks would have given their homes.
Listen, you whose sons were saved. Listen to one whose son was not.
Your son's life was priceless. Your son's life is priceless.
Every hour of every day you should send up thanksgiving for what you have been spared.

WHAT saved your boy?
Tremendous preparations for a long war which resulted in a short war. We were to have 4,000,000 American boys in France next Spring. American artillery would have stood wheel to wheel behind the whole American Front. Germany would have had showers-of American bombs.
Then German spies did a great American work.
They dutifully reported America's overwhelming preparations.
Germany saw the end — and quit a full year ahead of schedule.
And now the bill must be paid. Thank God we can pay it with dollars alone — not with dollars and blood both.
The Victory Liberty Loan is your chance to make your thanksgiving definite.
The measure of your subscription to the Victory Liberty Loan will, in accordance with your means, be the measure of your thankfulness that the lives of American sons were saved.
