now arranging to purchase a sub
stantial amount of Liberty bonds,
under a communication recently re-
ceived from the grand aerie. TIE
communication is signed by the
grand worthy president. who calls
upon each member of the order to
do his part toward the full accom-
plishment of the pledges contained
therein and asks that Eagles sub
scribe individually and as aeries. as
literally as they possibly can, to
the Liberty loan.
The communication is as follows:
The executive officers and board
o. grand trustees met at Kansas
City, Mo, May Goth and 3Oth. Love
of country and protection of the
home are fundamental workings of
our fraternity. Our country is en-
gagged in a war ito keep safe the
world for democracy" The under
lying reasons which caused our
country to engage in the present
great struggle find support in every
precept of u order. No man who
has learned even the rudiments of
the lessons taught by our fraternity,
can do aught else than give his un-
qualified support to our country
at this time.
We believe that every Eagle
wants to do his part as an Eagle.
a man, and a citizen. The only
question is how best can his part
BE- done. We cannot all go into
the trenches and fight for our
country and humanity. We can, by
working unitedly together, relieve
the burdens of those who are doing
the actual fighting, and assist our
government in the conservation and
prosecution of things which are
necessary to the prosecution of the
war to a successful issue. With this
end in view. YOU Grand Aerie Off
GERS adopted the following resolu-
ton:

poses and teachings. DESTROYS of
