Sentiments Will Not Win

After all has been said and done,
this war is plainly a survival of
the fittest. Fine sentiment and fine
feelings will not win. There is but
one road and that is to become more
powerful than the enemy. Ii is
might and nothing but nigh; The
last ounce of strength must be put
into the contest What each in
dividuaI gives, counts in forming
the grand aggregate, which. if large
enough, will win. If the armies of
our Allies and our own can hold
out and still have considerable more
power left until the foe has exhaust
ed his forces, we will win. If we
cannot hold up until this time ar
rives. we lose. The importance then
of adding every bit. no matter how
small, is apparent. Every little
added, be it food, money or man
power, makes just that much more
and altogether will make rhe grand
total which, from sheer might, will
win.
HesitationS, dawdles ard delays
must be swept aside. All must
be action-intenes, constant. never
ceaSing action-bold ana intrepid,
striking straight for the goal an

as is inconceivable TO our present
state of mind must BE- the object

was the support given it by the
farming and rural populations of
the country. according to a state

Not only did the farmers purchase
literally of the bonds, but the rural
communities as a rule were more
prompt in completing their quotas
of the loan than the larger cities.
More than 10000 communities in

oversubscribed their quotas, many
