Henry G. Staple Camp Will Contribute
to Fund for Purpose Of Sending Auto
Fleet Across Water for Use Of the
Bows "Over There"

The following circular relative TO the
raising of a subscription fund by the
Maine Sons Of Veterans for the purpose
of sending a fleet Of ambulances across
the water for the boys over there"
has been issued to the members of
Henry G. Staples Camp of this city.
Headquarters Henry G. Staples Camp,
No. 80. Div. of Nc. 5. of V.
Augusta, Feb. Il. 1918.
Our coInmander-in-c chief asks the
members of Staples Camp to do its
part toward buying a fleet Of ambu-
lances for the boys over there" We
are asked to give s1.o0 each. Every
Camp has been sent subscription
blank and has been requested to have
each member solicited personally
Would any brother refuse s1.00 if he
knew that dollar meant the saving of
his own boys life, wounded and near
dead on the field of battle? How about
the other fellows boy? He is fighting
your country's battle the same as If he
were your own boy. You give for q
Liberty Bond and get 81 or per cent
for being patriotic with the knowledge
that 1t can be cashed when desired.
Are you sacrificing what the fathers
did in the Civil War when they made
the name of Maine known on every
battlefield 'on a guarantee of fidelity
and valor when placed on the firing
line. Are You sacrificing as the moth
ers did. left to manage the farm with
the children. Our boys are taking our
fathers places at the front
We are of the generation that Is in
between them. 1t is our duty to back
them up in every way possible. Hen
ry G. Staples Camp. of which you are
u member. is represented by 26 loyal
members serving their colors in the
field. We are proud that they are not
slackers.
How about ourselves? Here at homo
are we doing our bit as we ought to.
AS in 1861 Abraham Lincoln had
confidence in Maine and knew that the
Maine men were ever faithful, 50 in
1917 President Wilson looked to Maine,
not alone for men and money. but for
means Of carrying on the war to vic
tory.
There are at least 5000 in this camp
that can be sent to save our boys.
Brother. If you cannot go let Your
dollar go. Let's make our camp 100
per cent
Sincerely yours,
CLARENCE n. CRAM,
Chairman Soliciting Committee.
