Shawnee Blade: Men who have families
should not go TO war. There is no demand
for them at this stage of the game. There
are graver and more important obiga-
tions resting on them. their duty is 10
their wife and children first. The country
will have plenty of defenders and is in
no danger in the present crisis. A false
will not discharge your
to family. The man who will
desert wife and home, when the neces-
sity does not exist is not brave enough
to do his country any good. The Place
for such men is at their own Preside and
amid their own flock. 1t is safe to say
that men who are now willing to aban-
don home and all that should be dear in
it, are prompted more by ambition fer |
promotion and this is the dream that |
lures them on. Your duty is at home and |
a true man will provide for the comfort |
Of his family and their happiness first |
and postpone the time when home ties |
and peace Of mind be severed. until the |
country needs the services of all citi- |
Gems on the field. That time will not come |
in this war
