 Be patriotic but America first.
 Why do we wish to help Europe?
 There has never been anything so wonderful done for the United States by Europe. We should be ready to fight for our own country and let other countries alone
 Up until few months ago the U. S., unknowingly, helped Germany prepare for this war against us. Even today most of the Germans in this country nave earned their bread and butter un- der "Old Glory" and we have been their best friends, and where do we stand today?
 Don't bite the hand that's feeding you." is very good motto. and a true one. But show the world where are there very many that abide by it. Ev- cry one, of course, wants to protect their flag and country. so why not stay on their own soil and fight? Let each country fight ner own battles. It's poor country that can't do it. In send ing our boys to Europe Uncle Sam seems to be placing them on the water for targets for the German submarines. They are some mothers boys and they are just as dear and their lives are just as sweet to these mothers as President Wilson is to his mother
 Notoriety seems to be woman's one ambition. For instance: woman out trying to get boys to enlist in the army and navy. She mad better be in the kitchen baking bread or sewing for the benefit of our boys at the front. It would be more appreciated b. Uncle Sam
 Can you imagine woman aTators. especially during a battle? Women can do it. but it is no place for a wom- an. There are plenty of men to take a mans place.
 Everyone goes military mad. Prob ably if they were more military sane our country would not be in such an uproar
