DOES AMERICA KNOW?

That there is war going on in
Europe?
That the wastage on the British
front alone is 1000 men day?
That present of 100000 airships
to the allies will do no good unless
the engines are of the sort that can
be used at the front?
That when America sends men to
France, the men must be fed and
clothed and given guns.
That the maintenance of an army
at the front is the maintenance of
city as big as Chicago suddenly
dumped in the middle of desert?
That England has had to build
her own docks in Northern France
to receive her transports?
That it's like offering live ele
plant to a baby to ocer to France
, American troops without mainten-
ance?
That sit is easy to reckon how
|
much tonnage is necessary to trans
port an army from America to the
| European continent and how much
tonnage is required to feed such an
army; that France and England are
scarcely able to feed and supply
their own armies without influence
ing their military and economic sit
uation still more and that the Sub
marine warfare is accomplishing all,
and more than all, that was expect
ed of it?" (Michaelis in the Reichs-
tag)
That every day there are fewer
men living in that thin human wall
which divides Germany from New
York?
That there really are such things
as shells and bombs and poisonous
gas and liquid flame, and that when
these things strike you, they hurt?
That either it's up to America to
strain every nerve of every individ-
ual and finish this war properly.
Or it's up to every workingman in
the United States to hand over SO
much per week out of his wage for
the rest of his natural existence in
to Germany's pocket-book, and pay
for this war properly
Must war put it's iron fingers or
the throat of each small town of the
United States before America rubs
it's eyes and yawns and tries-too-
late-to jump out of bed?-Ruth
