Of the national guard OF North Da-
kota will be leaving their homes and
loved ones for the mobilization camps
and not long thereafter they will be-
on .shipboard bound for the trenches
OF, the European battlefields. During.
the next month thousands, OF other
boys o feNorth Dakota and other states.
will be assembling at the various new
army training camps to prepare them
against the most terrible autocracy the
world has ever seen.
What Ire these boys going to fight
for? KY
For the preservation OF freedom
Throughout the world. -
They will face bullets and shrapneL.
and the poisonous gas and liquid
fire OF the most cruel militarism that
ever cursed the earth.
And while they are fighting the
enemy In front of them what are the
people at home going to do?i Are we
going to permit them TO be attcked in
the rear? Are we to allow the growth
of copperheadism to hamper them
and to further endanger their liyes3
Il what Shall We Do?

threatening to divide the nation at a
time when there Is the greatest need
we have ever known for an united
people? 5
President Wilson has said there can
be no peace until the bloody-handed
Ekaiserism Of militaristic Prussia has
enG.:wiped out. There car be mo
Epeace until there is certainty that the
world can again be bathed IN
the blood of helpless millions at the
behest of a world-grasping kaiser and
his sycophants. 44'53es
The blood Of American manhood
which is certain to be shed on the
fields of Europe will cry for Fvenge-
ance, not only against the men who
fired the fatal bullets, but against the
men who preach and teach a hating
of the war before the world has been
made safe for all humanity to live in
in peace. saf ia ~

Idberty has degenerated into license
The work Of German propagandist
is notoriously evident throughout tn,
land.
Under the guise OF Socialism, o,
of draft meetings, or OF the peac,
council, certain men are openl,
spreading anti-American doctrines.
Such agitation Is well calculated t,

T Is there a single reason why 5disloy

Every man or woman who talk
