CONSUMPTION

The war must be won. Every
body Is agreed on that proposition
To win the war soldiers are neces-
sary. but soldiers are not the only
essential factors. Soldiers must

ammunition. they must have ships
and air planes and coal and every
other thing necessary Tor human
lifc and human action, only they
must have IL all in more emphatic
form than in civil life. The work
men in the industries supplying our
soldiers with these necessities arc
as essential TO the winning OF the
war as are the soldiers themselves.
To get soldiers the Government has
drafted its millions OF men. II has
forced these millions OF men to quit
their civil pursuits and sacrifice
their opportunities for civil and bus
mess success ard to risk their lives
Is well, in the common defence.
While our drafted men are being
collected in canionment camps the

As the millions Of people stand
at the various railway stations in
the United States now watching
their soldiers on their way TO the
firing line it makes their gorge rise
to read the head lines Of any daily
paper recounting the strikes among
shipworkers, iron workers, coal min
erS, lumbermen and all other indus
tries upon which our soldiers must
rely for their necessities. II wont
be many more monthsuntil these
millions Of people will clamor for
CONSUMPTION of these striking work
ing men and they will get it too.
II IS but justice to the soldiers that
If they are taken from their civil
opportunities, most of them at as
good wages as the strikers are re-
fusing, that the workers necessary
10 the success OF the soldiers should
also be conscripted unless their pa
triotism leads them to do their duty
without il. The present drift OF
these laborers is not patriotic. Ii
is so decidedly pro-German as to
smell OF sauer kraut and Kaiscrism.
Our government is shipping our
soldiers across the sea at the rate
OF a hundred thousand men
month. Striking shipbuilders may
easily imperil the lives of our whole
army by failure 10 provide sufficient
shipping tonnage TO supply the sol
diers with arms. ammunition and feed |
These strikers are toying with fate
They will soon arouse the great |
mass of patriots who will demand |

men are wise they will heed the
till small voice that is now being
awakened.

self at the recent meeting in Mime

10 ortmatch each other in anti Am

trail from a patriotic American
standpoint. Kaiscrism can never

The piratical U-boat campaign

the trade mark on the cause Of it all

Docs your intelligence revolt at
the thought as you see our girls and
women walking peacefully about
our streets anddhink what it would
mean TO you TO see these women
gathered in groups before our eyes
stripped OF their clothes, ravished
again and again by hellish brutes
sent from Berlin. Well Belgium
and Northern France have wit
messed these things and is witness
ing them every day, and the same
calamity is only kept from our own
streets by reason Of the armies and
navies OF our allies. Does the old
trade mark rise before your eyes
when you contemplate these horri-
Bile things Made in Germany.
You do not need TO overtax your
imagination every time you see an
innocent child 10 think how horrible
il would be to see brute of Hun

off an ear or slit the mouth. or cut
off foot or a hand. Can you hear
the child scream first in terror and |
then in anguish and then see it faint
away from shock, carried to the |
house, the wound dressed and the
child nursed back to life for weari-
