THE ENEMY
WE MUST MEET
Third Liberty Loan
BY William Allen Whit.

(Mr. White. editor, author and King ot
the war and all OF its many angles while
on on an extended visit to the various battle
lines OF the Allied armies)
Back of the German lines every
ounce of food is conserved, and dis.
tributed with fairly equitable pre-.
cision; every yard of cloth is num-
bered and is entered into the war
strength Of the empire. Every penny.
weight of German coal is handled
with scientific care, and the one end
and aim Of all this autocratic control
OF food and clothing and heat Is the
winning Of the war There is no other
purpose in the German mind. Every
German mark is a German soldier;
every grain of gold is doing its full
share to work out that indomitable
purpose.
Here in America we must realize
that the war will not be won on any
front, but in our own hearts. This is
clash Of civilizations. We must de-
velop in our hearts a democratic pur.
puse as strong and as carefully direct
ed as this autOcratic purpose of Ger
many. We, too. must make soldiers
Of our corn stalks. make defenders Of
our wool and cotton and silk, make
every pound Of coal an American
pound, and we must make bullets of
our pennies. II we fail to develop this
democratic purpose in the eye to eye.
knee to knee, hand to hand, struggle
on the front, which, after all, only
reflects the strength of our convic-
tion. then our civilization will go
down. To fail to support our soldiers
with ammunition, with food, with
clothing. with coal, will weaken them
for the great conflict at the great mo-
ment. and that weakening will come
from our hearts at home. It will
come II we are slow with our finan-
cial support Of the men. The Liberty
Loan furnishes us with the only way
we home-stayers can practically show
our purpose. Our patriotism will be
measured by our performance toward
the Liberty Loan. What we. lend to
our country in this time of need will
measure our love of the freedoms our
fathers bought. It is at stake. The
autocratic purpose Of Germany, iron
willed and yet unbroken, aimed at
world conquest is threatening US.
What is freedom worth to you? It is
worth what you lend to your govern
ment in this hour Of its awful need.

All Europe is short.rationed and

happens in Europe is Americas deep.
est concern. There is not enough food
In the world. Either our soldiers must
skimp their rations or we must skimp
ours; either they must do without
some necessities or we must do with.
out some Of our luxuries.
Which shall 1t be?
Count on the Tomorrows. What
will your business be worth II we
should lose the war tomorrow? What

tration's New Home Gard Now
In 10000, 900 Homes.

The women Of America, who are
anxious to do their great part In the
winning Of the war, are now, as a
whole. familiar with the most impor.
tant aspects of food conservation. The
Home Gard, both III its original form
and In the revised edition for 1913
which provides for two wheatless days
one meatless day q week, in addition
to wheatless meal every day, has been
placed by the Food Administration aft
er vigorous campaign In 1O,OOO,OOO
American homes. An intelligent and
conscientious observance Of the Home
card's requirements Is all the Food
Administration asks of the housewives
of the country.
The Food Administration has had q
great many requests, however, particu.
larly from the homes Of the well-to-do,
that 1t should issue worked out plan
for voluntary system of rationing.
This desire for a voluntary ration
springs from two csuses-first, be-
cause It 10 far simpler for the house.
wife to save food when she has q con.
crete working plan by which to pro-
ceed, and, second, because the loyal
women Of America desire, unselfishIy,
to put themselves on the same basis
az the women Of the Allied countries.
The ration proposed by the Food Ad-
ministration 10 almost the same a.
that adopted In England for voluntary
observance. All over the United King

hangs In the front window a card with
the stirring pledge, AIN HONOR
