presses such fine spirit of self sac
rfice and unsellish patriotism that
the district board has resolved to
make it public through the press, as
we believe its publication will be a
most helpful inspiration, not only to
the fathers, mothers and wives, but
also to thousands Of the young men
of our State.
Your fine and patriotic spirit is
very refreshing at this time, when
SO many. others are claiming eXemp-
ton from the hardships of military
service, in order that they may con-
tinue the life Of ease, comfort and
pleasure, which has continued SO
long and undisturbcd that the patri-
otic spirit has become more or less
dormant in the breasts of many of
our people. We, as a people, need a
new baptism Of patriotism, a redcdi-
cation Of ourselves, our material re-
sources, and, if need be, our lives tc
the services of our common country

has entered for the vcndication oi

erty, international law and human
