Will we do it! There can be no question about

Such an appeal means that there will be provi-
sion over there somewhere in France" for these
young men of ours, not of some other nation but
our own, your brothers and mine, your husbands,
your sons and your neighbors' sons, your friends
and lifetime associates. 1t means that there will
be an agency over there equipped and ready and

THE SERIOUSNESS OF IT.

And as we must always hold before us this un-
derstanding of the world issue, in the struggles
OF these days. must we also come to realize how
grievous a conflict we are engaged in and how
greatly we shall have to exert ourselves to
achieve victory. We have got to get over the
notion that it is only supplies and money the
Allies need and come to know what really is the
situation, that at the time We entered the war the
Allies were on the wane, and that we must not
only fill the breach and assume the brunt of the
conflict, but we must actually win the war
Facts are slowly seeping through since the
Allied war missions visited this country and
these facts tell us authoritatively that France
had passed her maximum efficiency in money and
supplies OF men and had been on the down.hill
road Tor the past year, that Russia in it's present
chaotic state is liability and not an asset. and
that England, fnancier of them all, had likewise
passed her maximum; while on the authority of
