genius of America. Whatever she en-
tered upon she would accomplish
The spirit of the founders of the coun-
try was not dead. All that we have
and are we have pledged. And all
that we have and are we shall give
if needs be.
The past year has carried Americas
voice in unmistakable terms to her
enemies hearts.
We are prompted at such a time
to ponder the situation. Three ques-
tons constantly assert themselves.
What is being accomplished? What
is the outlook? How long will the
way last?
lea have an Interior purpose. They
are agents of the most pernicious and
potent Propaganda the world has ever
known,-propaganda that has given a
new meaning to the adage the pen
is mightier than the sword" Friends
of this country, friends of liberty and
righteousness will cooperate, not
criticise. AS much as possibly can be
accomplished is being accomplished.
Failures are due not to error but to
the obstruchonists whose carping crit
icism compels constant delays in order
that policies may be defended. Think
ing nationally, as we have begun
to think, we have attained a momen-
tum that could not have been at
tanned if we had emphasized sectional
ism. But the hideous head of the OBJ
structing propaganda must be hit
whenever it asserts itself and the ut
most support given to the govern
ment-
| The outlook? AS we believe In a
| just God; as we believe in the justice
of our cause, we must believe nothing
but ultimate victory. If at times the
forces against us seem more numer-
Gus than those that are with Us, let
US open our eyes and behold the
mighty hosts. The will to achieve is
a tremendous factor in this war
Sometimes power that is entrusted to
us seems wholly disproportionate to
the desired result; but we 60 on from
day to day gaining new strength. So
with this struggle. We are growing
stronger. Our enemies are growing
weaker We must cultivate a cour-
ageous calm and fine forttude. We
must be prepared for terrible days to
come and great sacrifices. But as we
pay and as we sacrifice we shall find
ourselves being knit closer together
The individual will suffer and the ma
ton will be strengthened.
| How long will the war last?
| On the anniversary of our formal
entrance into the conflict we say
solemnly that it must last, it SHALL
| last until Prussianism is baniShed for
l even from the earth.

turned was a great success, large
crowds turning out at every stop on

Three games played between Am
bulance Company $50 and an aggre-
cation drawn from the other three
ambulance companies of the train
within the last week resulted in one
tie, one loss and one win. The first
and second games, to 8 for the
mixed team and a tie of to 3, were
marred by unsportsmanlike conduct.
This was particularly evident in the
second game when a sergeant (root-
ing for the mixed team INDUCED in
unprovoked and wholly unjustified
personal attacks on one of the best
military men in the train and even
attempted to continue the converse
ton with bare fists. A man of the
ranks, especially a noncom, should
be the last to toss jibes at men be-
cause they are only enlisted men,
particularly when their service rec
ords show long years of dangerous
and courageous action to- their credit.
