MUSIC TRADE
REVIEW

Whose Fight?
T
HREE MILLION MEN—half of them in
France—many more in training.
But is this all their fight?
It takes ten men at work to keep one fighting
man at the front.
It takes millions of dollars just to keep this
army fed. It costs thousands of dollars every
time one battery of big guns lays down a barrage.
Is it any wonder, then, that the United States
is spending at the rate of fifty millions of dollars
a day in war and war plans? And with that
grand total as the interest on a far vaster prin-
cipal, which must support this colossal cost or
all this task will have been in vain, whose fight
do you think this is?
The man's in the trench? The fellow's on the
supply-train? The chap's on the gunner's deck?
No, it is yours!
It is your fight, Mr. Banker—yours, Mr. Manu-
facturer—yours, Mr. Merchant—yours, Mr. Me-
chanic—yours, Mr. Worker—yours, Mr. Farmer.
This fight is yours, all of you who are left behind,
as much or even more than it is the man's in the
trench.
For that man, though three million strong, can-
not raise a hand in the cause of democracy, he
cannot even raise a hand in self-defense, except
for you.
He is potent only as you are potent. He can
fight only as you will fight. The difference is
only this: his fight is expressed in nerve and am-
munition, yours in work and dollars.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is the world's biggest
drive back of the lines. It is the test of the finan-
cial reserves of this entire country of ours. It
will gauge the power that you intend to put back
of the fighting men in France for the next half
year or more to come.
In fact, it will show the value you place on the
heritage of liberty, which three million men have
taken up arms to defend for you to-day.
Take care when you sign that subscription
blank for Liberty Bonds that the amount you set
squares as nearly as it can with all your heart
acknowledges this heritage to be worth to you.
