Ever since the beginning OF war,

means, of course is TO make the other

than are available or more guns than

not have such a broad meaning, it

the pirate story where the captain of

MORE HEAT NEEDED.

The people of this country need
an arousing to something akin to
moral anger. Their spirit must.
be inflamed. Without blood
thirst for vengeance Of itself,
they need a stirring Of emotions
from the depths. 1t must come
to that, if we are to make victory
swift and sure, and the ground
work should be sufficient when
we remember the causes that
have led us into this war.
We should daily recall the
broken promises Of Germany, the
German insults to the nation from
its ambassador, the German plans
for invading our country and de-
stroylne our homes and our peo-
pie. Especially should we re-
member the deadly work that
went on in our land before we got
into the war; the destruction Of
our munitlon factories with the
loss of hives and property, the
strikes which We're organized in
our industries and the months in
/ which the bands Of contemplate
! German spies were at their pols-
onous work. Besides, we may
refer 10 the crime of the Lusl-
tania in which hundreds OF
American lives We're lost by al
act Of piracy that was unparal,
leled in the days of Kidd anC
Henry Morgan.
These are things relating tt
our OWN country and its people
though surely there is enough t
inflame the American spirit whel
we remember all that has hap
pened in Belgium and France.
