The Meaning Of This War

Germany's war is definite war of atheism
against Christianity, of barbarsm against CIVIL
Zation If we would save this country from even
greater horrors than Belgium and France have
suffered, because Germany hates us more than 1t
hated either Belgium or France, it is absolutely
incumbent upon us to uphold the nation to the ut;
most extent of our moral, physical and financial
mower in this life and death grapple. There is no
middle ground Victory or defeat are the two Is
sues at stake.
To win, every effort of the nation to the last
ounce Of its strengthen the building OF snips' III
food production and food conservation, IN ncreas-
ed output of coal and iron and Steel in betterlng
our TRANSFORMATION facilities by rail and highway
and water-must be put forth in enthusiastic un-
ending work by the men and women OF this coun-
try. II. o.,;uos
1t is incumbent upon everyone VINO reahness
this situation to do his very utmost to awaken the
latent patriotism of others and to quicken the
knowledge of all that they may understand the
magnitude of the task and the stupendous issues
invOlved-and these issues are the life or deatn
Of our nation and of all civilization
We must carry into every home, preach from
every pulpit teach in every school the meaning OF
the war and the individual responsibility OF every
man, woman and child in the country Not UNTIL
as a nation we do this will the women and the
children and the very life of our country be made
safe from the danger of the awful destruction
wrought in Belgium and France and wherever the
armies of Germany have Observation-Disclosures

The following letter to the. Editor
of the Gainesville Sun, appeared IN
that paper on Wednesday. Written
as it was by our honored former
townsman, Rob't W. Davis, it will
have especial interest in Palatka and
Putnam county:
Editor Daily Sun-It is conceded by
all thinking people that the opening
OF spring will see the greatest strug-
gle between the contending nations
this world has ever seen. 1t is cold
now around the battle fronts but even
before the warm sunshine shall have
melted away the SHOWS millions OF
new troops will be there. Not long
after the Christmas holidays are over
millions of brave men will be stand
ing in line ready for the command
to march. This country will have
more than a million of them. Let
no dreamer imagine that any mira
Gle will prevent it. Let no doubt

every one of them, to dare and to die

WE CAN SACRIFICE
IF NECESSITY ARISES.

Germany, in preparation for a hard
winter. is limiting the manufacture OF
leather footwear to shoes for soldiers
and others directly connected with
war work, and has been warning tne
general public that it must get along
with cloth or wooden shoes.
The German women have also peen
informed that their dresses must be
made shorter and tighter in order to
economize on material. For diet
these people must relic on turnlps as
a mainstay. No.
Wooden shoes on Americans? Not
while ladies shoes are going at SlZ 10
SIS and mems feathers are gong as
now from $3.50 to $12. Our lanes
dresses are short and seem to pc get
T ting shorter, but because OF 1ashlon S
decree and not from motives OF econo-
my.
In his recent message on food con-
servation and the Liberty Bonds.
President Wilson spoke of Individual
sacrifices.
Our people have conserved food as
never before and have easily over
subscribed to a lot of bonds, but, II
the whole truth were told II would
probably appear that the popular sur,
Mus has only lust heen nibb'ef at ano
that there has really been MIGHTY ut
lie sacrificing. There doubtless has
been some individual secrifice, but a
people whose national debt. in ai "ai
time. is less than four per cent OF Its
resources does not shine as an exam
pie of general sacrifice.
Americans have been asked to ca
no meat one day of each week, while
the ordinary German doesn't ge
enough meat in week to bait hool
fora starving catfish. -,
The sentiment that has moved tn
American people thus far is pure pa
triotism, with little of the feature O
pinch and sacrifice in it. Some lux
tries and some follies in eating hav
been given up and some latent none
has been brought out into the sur
light. both of which movements al
really of the nature of substantial IN
provements. But we are a long wa!
