f tained. I for Sne am convinced fur there that this struggle will make de n,ocracy safer in our United States This greater security for our own de- mocracy is a necessary by-product Of ] the conflict.
 In the field, whether 1t be in the training camp, on the high seas or on the battle field in France. the com : mingling in pursuance of the comrAon patriotic purpose of the rich and tbe poor the northererner and the south erner, the native born and the fmmt- grant, and the educated and the un- educated, will give our. boys and men and the people at home new respect for the devotion to one aonther. Men cannot live together in the close con- tact of the service of war time without realizing the worth of their fellows
 The men who nave suffered. fought
 and died for their country will have
 new conception of the meaning of
 democracy.
 Those Who Remain at Home.
 While 4sose of us whose lot it is to
 remain at home to keep our nor maI lict with the attendant burden of war may nc. be able to share these experiences to an equaa1 extent with our fellows in the field, we can Sever- the!ess appreciate the same truth ill a different way. Our country's call in itsstime Of need opens the eyes of all of us to ttr interdependence upon one another ana to De CIlS QopenISHCe OI our national government upon us as an individual. And so during the days of this week when our country is calling upon each one of us to subscribe for his part of the second Liberty Loan, we all must realize that no one man. and no one class or group of men can meet the need. Aside from the appeal which this loan makes as sound and profitable business proposi tion there is the further appeal of patriotism. A prompt and tremend- be the quickest means of convincing Germany that our people are behind the government in this war as a unit It will be vital in it's effect upon the morale of Germany, but more than this, it will furnish the necessary ma terial promptly which means the say ing of so many American lives at the front.
 Justified Existence.
 It is the manner in which such or ganizations as are gathered here this noon respond to this call of the na- tior, which determines whether or not their existence is justified under present conditions. It is because I know that you are responding in the fullest measure that am glad on be- come you all here today.
