Oct. 11th 1917
I urge all to do their utmost, in contributing to the Liberty Loan. By doing so they will be providing help for our brave troops at the
front, while making a splendid and safe investment for themselves. 'Money is a good soldier'
We in Australia are determined to unreservedly assist our kinsmen in the Mother Country and throughout the world, and our heroic allies, in
their great sacrifices for the Cause of freedom and righteousness
