To oppose the War Savings move

of the United States and its Allies.
To be Indifferent to this great move
ment is in effect to be Indifferent to
the murdor of women, children and
other civilians: Indifferent to the ap-
peal of outraged humanity.
To belitttle the War Savings move
ment is to belittle the heroic sacri-
fees Of countless dead and wounded
soldiers who fought for your protec-
ton.
Failure to back the government III
the w. s. S campaign is failure to DC
true American. The American who
does not help America to the limit
of his means and ability automatically
helps Germany to the limit OF MS

Another Soldiers Home Protest

Does the gentleman who suggested
to move the veterans from the Sol

Government clerks know how the in
stitution originated? and how II has
been supported and maintained? OF
course not, or he would not have
made the suggestion.
For his enlightenment will stats
that the home had not been origi-
mated through public money, but By
funds which had been gotten from
Mexico In the war Of 1S4S as an in
demnity by General Scott. The pub
lie has not contributed any money
for Its upkeep, as this has always
been done by the soldier boys Of the
United States army by compulsory
contributions from their monthly sal

Gently been discontinued By the
