ALL AMERICA WILL FIGHT

department s call to men from
IS to 2l and from 81 to 45 years
Of age to take up arms. The pro-
posed extension of the draft law
means that America viii mobilize
every available man for carrying
on the conflict to a victorious
end. 1t is the concrete express
sion of President Wilson S fa-
NOUS phrase, "forcc, force, force
TO the utmost, until military au-
tocracy is brought to its knees.
In other words, America means
to have an army that is large
enough to win and is not going
to lose any time in getting it, If
it requires five million men to do
the work, they will be sent and
if more are demanded they will
not be lacking. The men to whom
The new call comes viii answer

idea is to be carried out scrupu-
lousy, we have not the slightest
doubt The necessary business OF
the country will go on; the

rigidly enforced. For those who
remain at home. it will mean
more speeding up. more wedding
out of non-essential occupations
and the larger employment Of wo-
men. All Of which means that in
the coming months the war will
be brought home to America as
it has never been before, but the
people Of this country are per-
fectly willing to pay the price.
Every man. woman and child
in America is in fighting mood

sale but equally as necessary
at home, they will play
the parts assigned to them eour-
ageously and without a murmur.

Job 9G:2-12
Suffer me little, and | will shew
thee that | have yet to speak Oh
Gods behalf.
| will fetch my knowledge from
afar, and will ascribe righteousness
to my Maker.
For truly my words shall not be
false; he that is perfect in knowledge
is with thee
Behold, God is almighty, and de-
spiseth not any; he is mighty in
strength and wisdom
He preseryeth not the life Of the
wicked but giveth right to the poor.
He withdraweth not his eyes from
the righteous; but with kings are
they on the throne; yea, he doth es-
tablish them forever and they are
exalted.
And if they be boun DIN fetters, and
be holden in cords of affliction;
Then he shewteh them their work,
and their trasngressions that they
have exceeded.
He openeth also their ear to dis
cipline, and commandeth that they
return from iniquity.
If hey obey and serve him, they
shall spend their days in prosperity.
and their years in pleasures.
But if they obey not, they shall per-
ish by the sword, and they shall die
without knowledge.
