Posters proclaiming the Third Lib
erty Loan in striking phrases and
colorful designs—nine million of them
1 in mote than a dozen styles—have
been distiibuted to every city and
hamlet of the United States and many
of the different ones are shown in
Reward.
They are silent sales agents of the
bonds, and their preparation has tak
un months of planning and careful
choosing. Hardly had the Second
Liberty Loan campaign closed before
the country's foremost artists and de
signers were invited to go to work on
posters for the Third Loan.
The result is a collection of strik
ing posters, considered artistically and
psychologically better than any yet
attempted in the two previous loan
drives. They are now familiar sights
in store windows, on bill boards, and
all public places.
la addition, five million window
s-.ickers, 50,U0C 000 poster stamps, md
i $,000,000 badges have boon ordered
i.nd will be ready for the opening day
of the campaign.
fcome of the designers of the Liber
ty Loan posters are Howaid Chandler
Cluisty, Joseph Pennell, J. C. Leyen
d-'Cker, Sydney Kiesenberg, Herbert
1 aus, Heniy llaligh and Sydney S.
Stern. Alt contributed their work
without pay, and scores of other ar
tists submitted designs which were re
luctantly rejected.
Popular appeal was. considered care
fully in the final choice.
“We must reach all kinds and class
es of persons,” Treasury officials re
minded themselves continually. Vhov
hope to grip the heart strings—and
equally the purse strings—of the
young and old the city and country
bred, the native American and the
adopted alien.
One of the most striking posters—
that of Joseph Pennell, the Philadel
phia marine artist—portrays a great
battle-ship alongside wharves bustling
with war-time activity—motortrucks,
swinging cranes, and smoking stacks,
vith airplanes overhead. It is execut
ed in etching style, and the title sub
scribed is:44Provide the Sinews of War
Huy Liberty Bonds.”

i modernized goddess of liberty waves
aloft an American banner, and with
out-stretched arm points to a file of
Soldiers marching past. “Fight or buy
Bonds” is the title.
A poster which will arrest instant
attention shows a steel-helmeted
American soldier springing from n ;
trench and bearing a billowing Ameri
can flag. “Over the Top For You— |
Buy U. S. Government Bonds—Third
Liberty Loan’ is the message it car
ries. The work was done by Sydney
Riesenberg.
The faet that many naturalized
American?; contributed largely to the
success of the fu st and second Liberty
Loans has been recognized and one of
the posters was planned particular!)
for distribution in the foreign lan
guage sections of the cities. A sturdy
immigrant, with his wife and hoy, are
seen in the foreground, with flag be
hind, and the words of the advice are:
“ltememlK?r the Flag of Liberty. Sup
i port It. Buy U. S. Government
1 Bonds.”

The Lincoln poster attracted much
1 attention in advance of its general
publication. It shows a bronze tablet
i with a bas relief of the martyred
| president, the quotation from his Gct
; tysburg address: “So that government
I by the people, of the people and ior
the people shall not perish from the
; earth.” The words “Buy Liberty
; Bonds” have been added.
“Halt the Hun” is the watchword
proclaimed by another poster showing
a stalwart American soldier smiting
the holmetcd figure or the enemy
about to seize a crouching woman |
with her child. Henry Raleigh drew j
the design in crayon, with a buff back
ground streaked with red flames.
The figure of a little girl clasping |
a Liberty Bond to her breast, adorns!
one of the posters with this subscrip-1
tion: “My Daddy Bought Me a Gov-!
ernment Bond, Third Liberty Loan. I
Did Yours?” Publicity directors of
the loan regard it as one of the most
appealing of their entire collection.
An agricultural poster depicts a
farmer lad in khaki bidding farewell
to his father, saying; “Good-bye, Dad,
I’m Off to Tight for Old Glory. You
Buy U. S. Government Bonds.”
Independence Hall is shown on one
poster, with the historic liberty bell
in a comer. “King It Again, Buy U. S.
Government Bonds,” is the inscription.
“Are You 100 per cent American?”
is the caption of an attractive poster
by Sydney .S. Stem, a young New’
Fork artist.
Herbert Paus has contributed anoth-!
er of the soldier designs, showing a
i group of fighting men climbing over
the trench top, with the subscription;
“To Make the World a Decent Place
to Live In.” The daik figures are sil
houtted against a lurid sky.
For billboards, the publicity mana
ger has arranged a huge design of a
soldier asleep, with No-Man’s-Land in
, the distance, and above Irm in a vig
nette the embodiment of his dreams
of victory—cheering troopvS maiching
homew'ard. “Make His Dreams Come
True,” the poster preaches. “Buy U.

Another poster portrays a child at
his mother's knee, praying for the
safety and victory of his brotner in
France, in these words:
“Now I lay me down to sleep,
i pray the Lord my soul to keep.
God bless my brother gone to war.

ONLY A FOOL
OR A TRAITOR
REFUSES LOAN
____
ROME, April 2. — (Correspon
dence of The Associated Press-. — “A
man must be either a fool or a traitor
to refuse to subscribe to a war loan,"
declared Prime Minister Orlando in
connection with Italy’s fifth loan
which has broughc in about $500,000,
000. “1 he nation needs the money to
carry on the war and if there are
enough fools and traitors among us
not to subscribe, then the government
will simply take what it needs by high
taxes."
The result of the new lean, however,
proved satisfactory and the extreme
measures of unusual taxes will not
have to be applied. War loans have
come to be quite a customary proceed
ing and the Italian public has each j
year made new subscriptions in re
sponse to the advertising campaigns ,
cf the secretary of the treasury and
the banks.
One of the features of the war loan
has been the frankness of the news
papers and particularly of Secrctarv
or the Treasury Nitti regarding f.nan
cial facts. “There’s no use trying to
foo! the public regarding national fi
nances,” he said. “We need the money.
We are paying nearly six per cent
interest to get it. It's a good invest
ment. The Italian government will
always • ay its debts. It’s an interna
tional fact that it does so. As far ;
oack as 1866, when it had to offer:
eight and ten per cent interest, it
adopted the policy of standing by its
pledges, and it will always do so.”
Confidence in the Italian loan* have
for several years been shown by the
Americans living in Italy.
To the present time the war has j
cost Italy about $4,000,000,000, two- ;
third of which money has been spent j
on the army or land forces and .he j
other third on the navy. Of this $4,-1
iW 0000.0, $1,500,000,000 have b *en !
raised by war loans, $500,000,000 by I
taxes, and about $2,000,000,000 by
special treasury bonds placed princi
pally in England and the United
States for the purpose of paying for
war purchases.

MUSICAL DECADENCE
OF ITALY HAS BEGUN;
TWO REASONS GIVEN
ROME, April 2. — Italy's musical
decadence has commenced, accordine
to Fausto Torrefraca, interviewed by
the Idea Nazionale. “Formerly Italy
exported not only musical instiu
ments, musical publications, operas,
songs, and the like, but also singers,;
artists, chonises, and stage scenery," [
he stated. “In thirty years she has
fallen behind in all these branches,1
and even her voice may be said to be
failing. There are two reasons. One j
has been German competition. We ,
have abandoned musical culture. The
government has not done its duty in
providing proper schools and teachers.
Both Mascagni and Puccini, our best
known composers, serve purely deco
rative roles, without helping."
