money in government securities by all
Of US.
The government, through the waI
savings campaign, offers the opportunity
10 every individual in the nation 10 join
in a great national movement to secure

supported only il the people invest in
the securities Of the government, and
this investment by the people should
be as nearly universal as possible. All

children Of the land should be active
members Of Uncle Sans team. The
war savings campaign offers them the
chance to be active members. This
campaign means the encouragement
Of thrift and production. But it means
much more than this. 1t also means
to make our people realize their solid.
arity and mutual interdependence and
to make them understand that the gov.
eminent is really theirs. Therefore it
is a movement TO fuse all our different
race stocks into one great unified ma
tionality, 1t is emphatically a move
ment for nationalism and patriotism,
! Let all ol US join in this movement.

President wilson's message to France

intensifying, if that be possible the af-
fection and admiration France feels for

"Our brothers." writes Leon Bailby, in

we accept this designation. and they are
also our brothers, those British whose
blood has flowed with that of our own
soldiers at Ypres. at Nimy, in the
Somme, at Gallipoli our brothers, too,
are all those who have thrown into our
cause their hopes, their young man. and
their resources. The greatness of the
peace of tomorrow will be this brother
hood solemnly founded on the battle

The Pays. which long ago shed its
defeatist tendencies and has become
under its new direction one Ct the most
readable Paris newspapers, expresses the
hone that Wilson will soon say what he
thinks of the recent German peace Of
