We Want to Win.

OF course our people once engaged
in war want TO win. They want u c
cess To perch upon the banners Of the
United States and those countries
which are allied with them. So far as
they can they are extending every aid
to the nations engaged In war, and
there are thousands of people who
want TO see the American flag ON the
fields OF France and Belgium backed
by the valor which American troops
have displayed from 1776 down TO the
