mot A NATION"

They said that we were not nation;
Just medley from various lands;
No national heart and no national
soul;
With no hope and no wish TO join
hands.
Nothing to hold US together;
No aims and no dreams that we
shared;
Ideals and backgrounds all different;
We couldn't make war-if we
dared.
Then the word blared forth to the
country,
"Close ranks! For the Flag of us
all!
And the faith that brought US to-

Shone out at the Color's call.
One cry came back from the people,
From Latin and Norman and Slav
"America! Freedom is threatened!
"Take all that we are and have.

came here;
what we're working for, every
one,
"And that work has bound us to-
gether.

Do YOU HELP THE ENEMY
Great English Statesman Says Money
Spent for Luxuries Aids
the Hun.

Here are a few points ON thrift
given by the British Chancellor OF
the ExcheQuer which are worthy OF
emulation by Americans:
Lives must be lived more simply.
Personal, household and business
expenses must be reduced to the
minimum.
Surplus weekly or monthly earn
ings, over necessary expenditures,
must be invested straightway in war
securities.
Current balances at the banks
should be kept as small as possible
and the money invested in war bonds
Nobody's money can be neutral.
Money lent to the country fights
for the country.
Money spent on Injuries and non
essentials is helping the enemy.

FROM A GERMAN VIEWPOINT
German Philosophers Idea OF Chris
tianity Does Not Appeal to
Americans.

Frederick Wilhelm Nietzche was
one of the most noted of modern Ger
man philosophers. How much has
his philosophy affected the views and
character of the Germans of today!
Is not the answer written in the
blood of the women and children, the
old men of occupied France and Bel
GUM? Are not the Lusitania victims
witnesses to German adoption OF
Nietzche's faith?
Here is his indictment Of Chris
tianity:
with this conclude, and pro-
nounce my sentence: l condemn
Christianity To me it is the great.
est of all imaginable corruptions. The
church is the great parasite; with
it's anemic idea of holiness it drains
life of all its strength, it's love, and
its hope. The other world is the mo-
tive for the denial of every reality
1 call Christianity the one great
curse, the one great instrinsic de-
pravity, the one great instinct Of
revenge, for which no expedient is
sufficiently poisonous, secret, under
hand, to gain its ends. call it the
one immortal shame and blemish up
on, the human race"

Liberty Loan will not only help to
win the war but will relegate Metz.
