A Suggestion
 For Americas
 War Program,

In this apparent darkest hour for the Allied cause I am absolutely confident of our ultimate victory. for sunshine always follow rain. daylight after darkness and right always triumphs over wrong. It always has, always will, otherwise the world could not ex- ist. It may mean for us years of fight ing, tremendous sacrifices, but we will see it through. Only towards and cravens quit when diversity comes, brave men set their nerve and fight a little harder.
 America, with it's large population, enormous wealth in money and natural resources could keep up this war for 10 years if we prepare ourselves properly, physically, mentally, morally, and mo- bilize all our resources towards win ming this war. As it seems to me these are some of the things we must do and every person who loves Amer lea and is a real American can find no serious objection to any of it. It would be the real acid test of Ameri- canism and would do more to detect and weed out pro- Germans than all our secret service men put together. l. Cut red tape and conduct the war as if it were a large private business.
 
 under penalty of expulsion from office and disfranchised for life. Quit being a democrat or a republican-be an American.
 3. Every man, woman or child over 14. in fair health. regardless of station in life should work at least hours at some useful occupation. People who refuse to work should be put to work on public work without wages and on a diet of bread and water un- til they changed their mind.
 4. Conscription of labor during the war in order to avoid strikes and in or der that our worlxmen may receive fair wages and good sanitary quarters wherein to live and work.
 3. Communicating, if not volunteered of capital, paying a reasonable rate of interest for it.
 6. Communicating of all food SUD- plies and war material paying such a price as will allow not to exceed a 10 per cent interest on money invested. [. Cut out profiteering in all and every line of business. penalty, confis- cate property of profiteers and run their business so as to allow enough profit to pay taxes and upkeep of their business.
 8. Cut down personal expenses for luxuries and buy cheaper and plainei clothes. shoes, hats, etc, in short work harder, produce more and spend less loan the savings to the government oi give to Red Cross and Y. M. c. A war funds.
 9. Let us all place our personal ser vices and business if we have any al the disposal of the government in or der to show the world we are a unit in fighting for the freedom of oui homes and those of our allies If we art not willing to offer freely, yes witt enthusiasm, all we have and can do ir time like this we do not deserve free. dom. we are not worthy of the title American Citizen"
 Is it not infinitely better, wiser. more manly to give "our all'' if necessary than to submit to the greed. lust and barbaric cruelties of the monster called Prussian Militarism? And if you dt submit do you think we would hay, peace2 Look at Russia and Ru. mania
 In conclusion I wish to say it is no only the alien enemy in our countrl we must watch. The crooked, selfish partisan politician. the I. w. w., al work slackers, the profiteers. the idl,
 
 the society woman who will do nothin, unless she gets her name and phot, in the newspapers, are all, whethe they realize it or not, greater aid t the enemy than our open enemies ant they should be so treated.
 The time for maudling sentiment md catering to certain classes for DO litical gains or for fear of offending has passed. What our country need now is pure 100 per cent American who arc willing to fight. work. saw and sacrifice. I am ready and willing are you?
 No, do not advertise my persona business today.
