WHAT DOTH TT PROFIT A MAN :?

Germany is working, by every
scheme that ingenuity can devise and
money can put into operation, to
to their country in its hour of
need
What doth it profit a man If he
sends his sons and brothers to the
battlefelds, and after he gets them
there he betrays them to the enemy
by stopping the industrial home work
without which they can neither win
or escape?
The courses of nations-the lives of
millionaire changed by very small
events. Had the Monitor" not been
ready for the "Merrimac" exactly
when she was, the Union fleet would
have been rendered useless and the
Civil War might have had a different
ending. Had someone then succeed
ed IN making serious trouble in a
mine, a foundry, or a shop-had
someone then succeeded in delaying
transportation while the Monitor
was under construction, what would
have become of the. whole Union fleet
of wooden ships which was blockad-
ing the Southern ports
Germany wants us to be unready
or confused when similar crisis
comes.
Our whole nation is preparing for
the turning point in this war which
is to determine whether every man
shall have. a chance to work out his
destiny or whether he and his coun-
try are to become subject to the die
tation of Prussian group.
If we are not fully ready when the
test comes it will be easier for Ger
man armies and German ships, Ger
to kill the men that go out from your
community to protect you and your
rights
Whoever from any motive delays
work bearing directly or indirectly
on the war will be an accessory to the
murder of his fellow Americans.
Every strike in the United States
while this war is in progress, is a
blow in favor of Germany.
What doth it profit man to in
crease his wages or decrease his
tributes to the victory of a nation that
makes slaves of white men and
scourges them as they work?
The condition of the blacks IN
America before the Civil War was far
better than the condition of the whites
of elgium who today arec arried off
like cattle, are overWorked, under
fed, beaten and, sick or we'll, must
labor necessarily, often under the fire
IF their own guns.
What doth it profit a man to aid a
hamelessly re-esta blished the slavery
Of white men? The workingman
n America who obstructs the cutting
# wood, the mining Of fuel, the
Weaving of cloth, the turning of
heels in factories or on rails while
his war is in progress-he is helping
he slave masters, the destroyers of
Utilization, the murderers of women
nd children.
What doth it profit man who has
wed in a land of incompatible lib
rites, of advantages unparalleled in
II the history of the world. to con-
rfbute by any act, however small,
the success Of an autocracy to
whom a common man is but a clod
9 earth?
The workingman who stands faith
lily by his duties day by day, al
wing no person and no thought to
eft between him and an honest per-
ormance of his work, is rendering
he highest kind of patriotic service
his nation and to his family.
What doth it profit man to sell
g self-respect, perhaps his soul, for
little selfish gain in such an hour :?

The King OF England and the Gear
