mans? This is what all are asking. 1t
isn't question Of victory or defeat; no
American for an instant would tolerate
the thought Of permanent loss. even
though 1t Is just as well not TO expect
every single engagement to result In a
notable triumph.
From the very beginning every true
American has had abundant confidence
In the gallant boys who are represent
Ing us over there-conhdence in their
determination, their bravery and their
ability to produce results. The events
OF last week deepened this feeling OF
certainty. even as they must have In
spired and encouraged the fighters
themselves.
Now. while we are figuring on the
length OF their gains In the immediate
future-speculating on their continued
achievements-let us pause to give
thought also to ourselves and the part
we are playing or falling to play. The
war will, be won In Europe. but not with
out incessant. persistent work in
America That first line in France will
never attain and maintain the maximum
Of efficiency and strength unless the
second line. formed by home folks, backs
It up to the utmost limit Of Its power.
Tobacco a Practical Help.
There are many ways in which we
may help. Among them all none Is more
practical. more effective. than service
through THE SUN Tobacco Fund. The
fund strives to give our soldiers what
they want when they want 1t, which is
the typical American way of doing
things.

good friends of democracy. Also 1t was
a day Of prayer and thanksgiving, the
constituted authorities having asked the
people to unite their hearts and voices in
expressions Of gratitude fer what has
already been ACCOMPLISHED and petitions
for continued success.
