is desperately ILL.,; that all are starv-
ing, or that they are being in some
way harrassed. In such instances
letters have so preyed upon the
minds of soldiers that they have
absented themselves without leave
to 90 home, only to find that con-
ditions have been misrepresented.

Our duty is to make our arrange
lnents now to save a definite sum
from our ordinary expenditures
during the coming six months and
to invest these savings i'll our Gov
ernment's securities. We are call
I'd upon to record our most sacred
pledges for such patriotic service
and no man can escape the duty.
On the 28th there will be meetings
at places and hours announced by
the constituted authorities Of this
movement. Let there be no slack
ers in this community, but let all
attend and see to it that we are not
remiss in coming up to the expec-
tation of the President.
Witness my hand and seal of the
