Courage Under the Service Flag

The spirit Of the fathers and mothers whose
sons are nj the service is being tried these days.
The stalwart patriotism and loyalty of these men
and women are the backbone of our national
morale. The casualty lists have not frightened
them or dampened their ardor.
They are sacrificing more than the men or
women whose sole investment in this war is the
possession of interest bearing Liberty Loan
bonds.
These fathers and mothers have invested
their sons in the defense Of the nation and for
the perpetuation of principles cherished by lber-
ty lovers. How can mere possession of thous-
ands of dollars worth of negotiable bonds COM
pare in value with the son who is offering his
life for his country?
Assuredly the war mothers have more at
stake than the Liberty Loan investors!
The fathers and mothers of the brave boys
"over there" are not losing heart or quailing at
their sacrifice. They are showing the undaunt-
ed spirit of real champions of liberty. They are
setting the pace in the devotion to the cause.
"The splendid spirit of the American fathers
and mothers who have contributed sons to the
country has been tried the past week by the sit
Star.
IF you want to know the full measure of the
American morale seek out the homes which fly
the service flag, and you will find that the only
regret expressed anywhere is that more Ameri-
can soldiers were not in France to help hold the
line against the Germans continues the editor
ial.
"And that regret is expressed even with the
knowledge that more American boys at the front
means the sons of those who give voice to it. If
you have any doubt about the sentiment in this
country, make canvass of the fathers and
mothers who have contributed their boys to the
man power of the American army"
Not only Missouri but also Indiana, Ohio and
the other states of our great republic respond
with loud acclaim to that sentiment.
The war spirit is highest and most profound
in the homes where boys are across the sea.
Wayne county is in the list Of political units that
is happy because some of it's boys are actively
the German drive.
Our war mothers and fathers count them
selves fortunate to have boys who are willing to
give the dearest possession, life itself, to make
the world safe place to live in. They exult in
the patriotism that made their boys fighters in
the cause of civilization.
We pay tribute to the spirit of the war moth
ers and fathers.
