I'VE HAVE GIVEN OURSELVES
WHAT WILL YOU GIvE7"
IS THE SOLDIERS QUESTION

This question, carried on a ban
ner by Maryland troops paradinq
some months ago in the interest of
the Liberty Loan, comes home to
every soul when once more the ma
ton is preparing to call upon the
country to over subscribe another
Liberty Loan. And yet subscribers
to the Liberty Loan Bonds simply
make an investment in gilt edge Sc
curity, they give nothing, and can
give nothing, except it be whole
hearted, tirless support to Liberty
Loan work, which should be given
with the enthusiasm Of the soldier
when he goes over the top, risking
his life for the salvation of those
of us who are left behind.
Millions of American boys and
men must give up the comforts of
home, the pleasures and anticipa-
tons of life, business and loved
ones, and suffer in the trenches, on
the sea, and in the air, and offer
their lives a sacrifice on the altar of
the nations life. They have been
called, through the voice of the
country, by God Himself to save
this country from that fearful bar
barism which has made wreck and
ruin of millions in Belgium and
France and Italy and Serbia, and
other lands, and which has caused
the battlefelds of Europe to run
red with blood and the rivers and
streams to be choked with human
bodies. Our loved ones have been
called to save civilization; to save
Christianity, and to save the wo-
men and babies Of this land, as
well as to save the life of our
country.
AS these men have heard the
call of God through the voice of
the nation, the question comes to
every one who cannot go to the
battle front, What am l doing to
help to bear my share of the burden
and stand behind these men and
the nation, to ease the sufferings of
the soldiers and the sailors, and to
equip them to the utmost extent of
science and money to make effective
their work upon the battlefelds9
What am l doing to equip them
with guns, and explosives, and to
feed and clothe them, to build ships
to carry the foodstuffs and the
munitions to them, to produce food
stuffs, to conserve foodstuffs for
them?
These men are offering their lives
to save me and all that l hold dear
on earth. Shall l be a coward, men
tally, physically or financially. Shall
be a Stacker and stand back and
let these men suffer and die, hoping

and laying aside of all minor diff
ferences that is causing grave con-
Germ in the councils of the Kaiser.
And this concern is not lessened
when he observes that a like spirit
is lacking in his own dominions.

that I may live in peace and com.
fortf
Shall / be so lost to all that i.
true and noble in life as to be
spurned by my own conscience and
by my own fellowmen if they could
see my failure to measure up to the
call Of duty9 Or shall 1 be
man or a woman whom God has
really breathed the breath Of the
larger and the diviner hfe9
These are some of the questions
which every man and woman must
before God and to his own con-
science ask themselves.
The men who have gone out from
that household and this household,
in every part of the land, went out
to save from destructuion the peo-
pie at home just as much as if they
had rushed into burning house
risked their lives to save the wn-
men and children, or seeking some
brute attacking women or children
had rushed to their defense, count
ing NOT the cost.
Shall any man or woman who has
the spark of life, who has any
thought of nobleness, of honor, of
happiness here or of life beyond the
grave, prove a Stacker in this the
supremest hour since upon the
eros of Calvary the Son of God
died to save mankind7
Judas, who betrayed his Lord,
finds many imitators in this hour
which tests the very soul of men
and women. They may not, per-
chance, for thirty pieces of silver
have the same opportunity to be-
tray their Lord and Master, but in
their hearts is the same spirit of
covetousness which would cause
them to betray their country and to
betray these men who, following
the example of Christ Himself, have
offered their lives as a sacrifice to
save others.
No man has right to accumulate
wealth during this awful world trag-
edy. 1t is the duty of every man to
work to the utmost limit of his
ability in order to earn as much as
possible and then invest it in Lib
erty Bonds and in contributions to
the Red Cross, the Y. M. c. A, and
kindred activities. He who is a
Stacker in this hour of fearful suf-
fering and sorrow has no right to
look with an honest eye in the face
of any fellow-being. This is the
testing time of all the world of all
human history. 1t is the time when
all that is good and true must come
to the front, and all that is bad and
vile should go to the scrapheap.
AS the Government calls for the
purchase of Liberty Bonds that it
may fight this battle of your saliva
ton and mine and the nations from
eternal damnation under Germany's

IOWANS IN THE THICK OF FIGHT
Return To Lines-Growing Cas-
ualties Among lowans.
(By Z. G. Dougherty.l

Washington, June Tn view of
the large number of Iowans appear
ing in recent casualty lists from the
front, there is something comforting
in the confident assertion of Surgeon
General Gorgas that as a result of
studies at the front, methods have
been developed whereby more than
80 per cent of the wounded are now
cured and returned to forces in three
or four weeks.
Surgical science has made wonder.
full advancement during the war. The
best surgeons of all the allied nations
are in the military service, pooling
their knowledge and skill for the ben.
eft of humanity in the treatment of
war wounds.
Even the men classified as wound
ed severely" are reclaimed b. some
of the miracles of surgery performed
in French hospitals.
New Notation Puzzles.
In the last few days a new notation
has been made in the casualty lists,
that of degree undetermined" after
the names of wounded soldiers. Army
officers here have been puzzled by
the notation, but they know that the
British army does not classify it's cas-.
ualties as wounded severely" or
wounded slightly" and they assume
that the degree undetermined"
wounded represent men in troops
brigaded with the British, General
Pershing being unable to state wheth-
er these men were wounded severely
or slightly because he is given no re-
port from the British showing the
degree of their injury.
The preponderance of Iowans in
casualty lists of the last few days,
which brought comment from many
army chiefs, would indicate that the
Iowans are in the thick of the fight.
There have been no reports of activ-
ity in the Toul sector that would JUS
tify such heavy casualties.
