AMERICA SHALL WIN
AMONG many excellent pledges
which have been drawn up
and suggested is the follow
ing::
"America Shall WJn Hila War"
"Therefore, I will work, I will save,
I will sacrifice, I will fight cheerfully
and to my utmost—as if the whole
Issue of the struggle depended on
me alone."
Do we not find in these words
what should be, in these days, the
chief purpose of every red-blooded
American?
Not everyone in America can fight
in the trenches.
EVERYONE CAN WORK
Tens of thousands can serve and
are serving in the Red Cross. These
different lines of activity al-e so fa
miliar they need not be mentioned.
A few sick and wounded soldiers
have returned from the war front
to the homeland. These soldiers are
coming home every day. The care
which they will receive and the
financial assistance and other kinds
of friendly help for their families
will offer splendid opportunity for
service for those working in the
Rod Cross organization. There are
other kinds of service. Many home
fires must be kept burning. Churches
must be supported and enabled and
encouraged to keep at floodtide the
spiritual life of those connected with
the churches. Hospitals and other
charitable organizations must be
supported and kept to a high point
of efficiency.
Let us never be unmindful of the
fact that the everyday work of the
world must go on. We of the army
at home must go about and do our
bit and our best with brave hearts.
It sometimes requires courage of a
higher order to do this than it would
to take our places in the trenches
and face the enemy.
EVERYONE CAN SAVE.
The American people have not
yet begun § to do this. In England they
are only really waking up to what
can be done. It has been said many
times that Americans are a waste
ful people. There is waste in the
home, waste in the factory and
waste everywhere. There is waste in
buying as well as In using. There Is
waste of material, waste of money,
waste of strength and waste of time.
This war will doubtless teach won
derful lessons along these lines.
EVERYONE CAN FIGHT.
Most of us cannot carry rifles or
stand behind machine guns, but all
of us can fight by proxy and support
our fighting men.
It is we who are at home who
must clothe and feed those who are
fighting for us. We must provide
them with cannon, machine guns and
rifles and ammunition. We must
build and equip ships and stand be
hind the men who "fight them." We
must provide ambulances and build,
equip and maintain hospitals over
seas and at home.
Dugng the first bond campaign,
we occasionally heard people say
that they could not give Anything for
Liberty Bonds. In these days we do
not hear this misstatement of fact.
Most Americans now realize that in
buying bonds and war stamps, they
are only lencjlng on the best security
in the world and are lending to the
best nation upon which the sun
shines for the prosecution of a war
against a nation which has forfeited
the right to be regarded as humane
on civilized. Every single cruel and
barbarous act of which this nation
has been guilty, and such acts have
been innumerable, is or should be an
argument to every American for
buying bonds. Some can buy large
amounts of bonds, others only baby
bonds, but every home can have war
stamps.
Everyone of us can have a part
In furnishing money to carry on this
war. Our government has wisely and
is now wisely appealing to the people
of America to not only buy bonds
but to buy bonds and stamps when
it Aeans sacrifice. We are asked to
buy and buy and keep on buying
until it hurts.
Our boys are giving themselves
and risking their lives. When the
command comes to go "over the top,"
our boys do not hesitate and say
they will consider and see what they
can do.
LET US BUY BONDS.

If We're Going
The Home Fires Burning %
We've Got to
This war must be fought to a finish on European soil.
If it isn't it will be fought out over here.
There's no counter-argument to that.
No use saying "Germany will be too exhausted to come over here—and be
sides Germany could never get her troops here.''
Germany WILL come over here, if she is successful over there—it's part of
her big program for world domination.
Gerniany said The United States couldn t get its troops over there, with
German submarines guarding the seas."
But they are over there, and if Germany wins the fight in Europe she WILL 1
come over here.
[These are pretty frank statements but this is not the time for mincing
words. ' , . vf
We must look this situation squarely in the face.
' /
,We must think what it will mean to our women and children if the Prussian
army marches up Market Street as it marched through Belgium.
We must think of what it will mean to us if the Kaiser dictates the freedom
(?) of the United States.
We must think of what it will mean to us if the United States is stripped of
its democracy.
We must think, more than ever before, of the necessity of bringing this war
to a successful conclusion on European soil.
Our boys are over there ready to die to preserve our liberty—they need guns
—ammunition —airplanes—and every implement of war that will help
them achieve their purpose.
All these things require money. •
We must see that it is provided.
Uncle Sam doesn't demand it as the Kaiser would.
He asks us to loan it to him—
t ■, *•
WE MUST BUY
LIBERTY BONDS
£very man, woman and child must do their utmost —a "bit" won't do any
more. Every one must dig down deep—till it hurts—and buy Liberty
Bonds to the last dollar.
Do that and our boys over there will "keep the home fires burning" over
here.
But we'ye got to look the situation squarely in the face!
