Germany desires is to prevent labor
and capital from being on friendly
terms, to cause endless strife and liz

discomfort, to carry back and forth
tales Of alleged profits, to foment mu

and food riots, destroy munitions
plants and shipyards, prevent the pro-

range the transportation system, and,
in short, to do everything that will

With hundreds of thousands of agents,
no one can be occupied in anything
that is too trivial to some time cause

patriotism demands that both en-
ployer and empbye shall be the more
careful not to lend themselves, con-
sciously or unconsciously, to enemy
plots. Now is the time, above all
others, that employer and employe
must realize that strife an dantagon-
ism are not only detrimental to each,
but are playing into the hands of the
insane brute who is directing the des-

realize that spirit of mutual under

A War Against War
That flag realizes as we must real

ICES that war and the. horror and ter
ror and murder and butchery of war
is senseless, but we must also realize
that our flag is being, carried into the
battle line in France today in order to
bring assurance that the horror of
war shall perish from this earth for
ever We must realize that our coun-
try is at war in order to bring assur-
ance that never again will men and
women and little children be, by the
malice of man, drowned like rats In
the icy waters of the ocean. We must
realize that our flag is going into
battle to bring assurance that your
wife and my wife, your mother and
my mother, your child and my child,
will never have to undergo the horrors
of a Belgium. We must realize that
our country is at war in order to bring
assurance that those little boys, now
one, two, three, four or five years old,
will never have to, shoulder nusket
and march away to war; to bring as
surance that those curly little heads
and innocent little bodies will never
occupy unmarked graves on a foreign
shore. All in ALL we must realize that
Iour flag is being carried into battle in
order to bring assurance that fright
fulness shall perish from this earth
forever We must realize that our
flag is being carried into battle in
France today in order to bring assur-
ance that we will not have to battle
the brutal Hun in America, for
victory must come to the allied
cause in Europe, or the battle
