Strike First Blow Quick.
The first blows will be struck at
once against Germany. Secret orders
covering precautionary steps within
and without the nation will be flashed
from Washington.

and for its men.

within the next two years.

energies in war tasks. There is to be
a spirit of cooperation and co-ordin-
alton that will profit by the mistakes
of other warning nations toward the
end that the American war machine
shall operate smoothly and capably.
