war and a hasty peace may cost
another war and greater loss of
lives than cleaning up this war.
Don't let jealousy of other wo-
men whose men get to the front or
are kept at home make you suspi-
cious Of motives or influences. The
organizations and individuals are
all parts Of complicated machine;
each cog must fit in its place and
move when needed.
Don t accuse the ay-at-homes of
base motives. Many Of them are
more eager to be abroad than some
that are there. The success of the
men in France depends on the
energy of the men at home. For
every man in trench great many
men are needed in the rear, or the
fighting line will fail of ammuni-
ton, food, supplies, funds, equip
ment, and reinforcements.
Don't forget that cynicism and
sarcasm are the cheapest things on
earth, but may prove deadly III
their result.
Don't forget that it is treason to
give aid and comfort to the enemy.
Nothing comforts the enemy more
than the feeling that the war is I'M
popular at home and that the peo-
pie are against it.
Don t spread the falsehood that
this is a rich man s war. 1t is be,
