with the country facing situation
which calls for sacrifice upon the part
of all classes of citizens, certain in
terests continue to vociferously de-
mand the privilege of making "all that

the welfare of the nation.
1t seems to be perfectly proper for
the government to curb the avaricious
propensities of the other fellow but
when Uncle Sam steps on my toes,
it is time to call halt. We confess
10 a shortage of patience when it comes
to dealing with such an attitude.
Whether the profiteer be a manufac-
turer. middle-man, producer or wat
not, if he is deaf to the call for patri.
otto sacrifice, he deserves condemna-
tion. The one great enterprise before
us at the present moment is to win the
battle for humanity and democracy in
which we are engaged and to do that

WHY ARE WE AT WARP

William English Walling of the Wig
ilantes, answers the foregoing queS'
tions as follows:
why should this question be asked
The greatest war of history has peen
waged for three years. The United
States has been at war for four months.
We have the largest number of news
papers and are the best informed peo-
pie in The world. The war began 10
affect our pocketbooks, on the whoie
unfavorably, from the first day II pe-
gan. We we're almost Immediately III
yolyed in the most critical disputes
with all belligerents. Yet we are still
told, even by such influential leaders
as Senator Borah, that we do mot know
why we are at war.
q. why are we at warp Why should
such humiliating question be asked
among great democratic people?
There is but one answer. For three
long years the ceaseless German pro
paganda has been penetrating every
day to the most remote corners OF the
land and it still continues under the
pseudonym of 'pacifism' THESE
mountains of lies thus persistently anc
systematically spread over a thousand
daily issues of a large part of our press
during period Of three years cannot
be removed within few months. In
deed, it may be doubted if this dew
its work BY which SO many Americans
have been intellectually perverted
and morally corrupted can be undone
even by an equally long campaign OF
sound logic and Of facts.
) Were ii not for this vile and bloody
propaganda not one American man
woman orlchiid would now need 10 ask
the question. why are we at WARP
We are at war because "the arch
devils of despotism' having complete
ly dominated one nation and success
fully inoculated it with its intellectual
and moral virus, having spread their
mastery and system Of lies to the sub
ject-peoples they euphemistically call
Allies, now seek a large If not a con
trolling voice over the high seas, and
in all parts OF the earth where there
is the slightest prospect Of obtaining
control-ether through their plots and
propaganda or through the butchery
Of a sufficient part of the Inhabitants
And as long as this program succeeds
or promises to succeed II has the "a
naticaI support Of the overwhelming
majority of the German people, whicn
for half century the arch-devils have
trained, perverted and dehumanized
for this purpose.
We are fighting to rid the world OF
despotism, which. driven from nearly
every other country Of the earth, aside
from Germany and her allies, now
menaces the liberties of all mankind

AMERICA TO FRANCE

CA True Incident)
(By Ruth Wright Kaufman, special
correspondent Of The Vigilan-

Two soldiers, barely twenty years,
Limp down the boulevard
A pair Of wooden legs apiece
They can't go very far
They laugh. They're learning how 5,
walk,
Like any little child;
A poilu and an officer;
Their steps 60 rather wild
Two soldiers, straight and young and
lean.
March UP the boulevard
Their eyes are taking in the sights;
They're new to France and war.
And then they stop and catch their
breath
And see-unto that last.
They raise their hands-salute-
And bravely march on past.
