Hart made appearances for the sale of Liberty Bonds (to finance the war) all during the war. When fans were heaping adulation on him in Spokane, he stepped forward and said, "I'm no hero . . I'm just an actor." In the 3rd Liberty Loan Drive alone in 1917, he was responsible for raising over $2 million dollars. After the war, he used his pinto Fritz to raise money for treatment of wounded war horses, mules and dogs.
