Mr.. Scott told those present that the

front, as well as to provide the sinews
Of war from every angle is a serious

obligation Of spending S65 100000 a
day" It's worth it, all" said Mr.. Scott,
ito have a world free for democracy,
and we either have TO provide the
money and lick the Hun or lose the
war and then pay very much more as
an indemnity TO the tyrant who would
make life miserable, not only In our
country but throughout the whole /
world
Mr.. Scott said that all the money
this government has loaned to the Al |
lies for war purposes had been spent
here in buying munitions and supplies. !

United States treasury" said the speak

sible for his share Of full duty Get
each man in your plant and those in
the community where you live inter

'sNhen this country was preparing tg ,
inter- the war the people of the west |
aid that men from out there would /
,ot be needed as the east was so thick .
v congested that a sufficiently large |
rmy to lick the Hun could be raised {
lere in the east. But the list | read [
howed that men are needed from every [
tate and territory OF the Union. Not (
nIv the men, but the women and mon g
v must also be counted upon :
Mr.. Miller said the heads Of the COM /
