This beautiful sun-kissed land of
ours, the land we all love is at war,
and its a most serious war; if we
read correctly the handwriting on
the wall, and | think we do, its going

| fighting against the most powerful
military nation in the world, the Ger
J man empire. We are fighting against
the best prepared and best drilled
and the best equipped body of men on
earth, the German army. We are in
the war and we are in to win, we
must and even if it takes the last
! cent and the last drop of blood. My
i, dear friends, we are not going to win
unless each one of us do our part.
Our part may not be on the firing
line with a gun or behind the trenches
with roll of bandages, but our part
is to furnish the guns and
the bandages to those that
know how best to handle them. Let
