The Business of Winning
Saturday Evening PosD

1t is time that began to think concrete person.
III terms about the business of winning the war To a
GOOD many people in America that has been and still is
Somebody's else business
The president can't win this war. The Democratic
marty can't win it, Neither the army nor the navy
nor the farmers the laborers nor the capitalists
George can't do it. YOU whoever you and whatever
YOU doing must win it personally The business of
winning is everybody's business Any man who is not
ready make it his personal affair coward running
from the field of battle.
From this time on there can be only three classes in
the United StatesAmericans pro Germans and yellow
dogs Many people would lump the last two but wrong
" because in the third group there many Who once
awakened to class consciousness of their yellow dog
piness, may be saved We refer of course to the men
Who seeking party and partisan advantages in this
crisis to the red aperS and ncompetents who OBJ
sructing and muddlng everything they touch; to the
orandsandcrs and ln,elighers who nothing but an
opportunity for personal advertising and aggrandize-
nient in the national peril and to the profiteers to
whom all dollars look alike, those that are blood
stained.
IS Let there be misunderstanding in the mind of
any about these things. Votes made by spe-
cious appeals to discomfort lives lost ncompe-
tents continued in office trenches taken by the
enemy Strikes that squeeze the last penny of
need for haste drowning in the Atlantic and
soldiers sacrificed in France.

converted sent to the pound The pro Germans should
be there now The great silent majority of us who are

cincinnati. Dec. 10.-A boarded dol

national director of the war savings
campaign, said here tonight In one
of the first addresses of two weeks
speaking tour of the middle west and
south. He urged purchase of war
savings stamps and certificates for
the double purpose of directly assist
ing the government to finance the
war and economizing on materials
and energy devoted to produce non
essentials.
There is something worse than a
Stacker, though A Stacker is only
a negative quantity. But dollar
spent for an unnecessary thing today
becomes an ally of the enemy. 1t is
a traitor dollar, because the labor OF
man and woman is employed need.
lessly to make useless things, when
the government needs that labor to
make things that are essential for
our soldiers in winning the war-so
we must see that the dollar spent
for unnecessary things is menace
to our country, a menace to TINS
world fight for freedom.
ut is for every person to stop
and consider, before spending each
dollar, into which pan of the scale
they will throw it. Will they buy
unnecessary things. and by the
weight cast on that side of the scale
contribute to our defeat, or Will they
refrain from the unnecessary pur'
chases and put the dollar into the
