without which victory is impossible

most fitting and timely opportunity
to take stock of resources of brain
and hand, to consider unselfshly
how best we can substantially evil

Arizona's responsibility TO do her
0art in the present exigency lies
equally upon every member of our
citizenship, he asserts, and urges that
all differences that molest the pres
ent industrial progress upon which
so vitali; depends the success of the
conflict, be buried and that every
eai2u and sinew, without thought OF
self, profit or propaganda, shall he
strained until victory shall have been
won.

flict, straining our every nerve and
sinew, without thought of self, profit
or propaganda, until we shall have
won that to which we strive-world-
