The First Blow
4 -
~ Oh. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane,

If YOU find you have to fight, and
there's no getting out of il, the thing
TO do is to get in the first blow, and to
hit hard.
This is a recognized principle in mill
tary tactics. The advantage Is always
with The courageous offensive. Germany
by her sudden tremendous drive across
Belgium toward Paris came very close
to being successful 1t took the allies
many long month TO overcome the adj
vantage the enemy had gained by its
vigorous initiative.
The United States has been very slow
about coming into this war; to the
threatened people. of France and England
il seemed very slow. We did not enter
until the conflict had changed its form
from that Of European quarrel to that
of a contest between autocracy and
democracy.
But we're in at last. And having join
ed the fray it behooves us to strike with
the full force of our arm. Half measures
will not do. II we are to fight gently we
had better far have stayed out.
Naturally the first aid America could
bring 10 her allies was financial None
of our development has been military;
all our energy. all our sap and lustihood
has fruited in business; ours has been
constructive, creative civilization of
which the concrete expression was
wealth.
And wealth is just as essential in war
as cannon. To come with gold is quite
as much aid to our allies as to come with
arms and men.
II il of the utmost Importance there
fore that the Liberty Bonds, represent
ing Americas first blow in the world
war, be an enthusiastic, unqualified,
overwhelming success.
And il will not be a success unless the
wage Garner, the man of moderate
means, takes hold
The great wealth units, like the United
States Steel Corporation, the First Ma
tional Bank. and so on, have responded

A WHITE GIFTS CHRISTMAS.

The most beautiful and appropriate
service which can be imagined OF en-
ioved in relation to the Yule-tide ac-
tiyities will be held in the zion
Church, Sunday evening pelore
r,hristmas. The nature and character
of the program is suggested IN tne
title. white Gifts For the King. ~
"a the celebration of the Lords natal
dav in a manner befitting the King
and also the allegiance which all ais
subjects owe him. 1t is the recognl-
ton by a Christian congregation tnae
the single thought and spirit whicn
should dominate all our Christmas
lows and activities should be Christ;
That our joys and fluctuations should
rightly arise out of just one thougnt.
His Great Gift to the world. And IN
recognition OF this, we owe ourselves
and our all to Him and in our natural
gratitude, following the example OF
the wise men, we bring to Him our
eists. our Christmas activities in the
1ast have too largely lost sight OF our
Lord. II the occasion is His birthday
surely we should rightly honor him-
really make Him King. 1t Is not tnen
a question Of hanging our gifts upon
a Christmas tree for each other; sucn
4 custom can and does become en-
tireiy selfish. and the real biessedness
