Gallant Deeds of Pershlng.
What American is not thrilled in
every fibre by the deeds our gall
liant Pershing and our noble Ameri-
can sons have already done upon the
CORY battlefields OF France? And
what American is not proud and glad.
no matter how great the sacrifices
our noble sons have made. that they
are demonstrating in this great battle
for liberty. that America, like these
other brave nations associated with
US, is not only able to, but will do
her part to the absolute limit. We
are prepared to make any expendi-
ture of blood that may be required
to do this great job for civilization
and humanity, and because we are
willing to shed our blood We are
willing to expend what is Of far less
consequence, every dollar of Ameri-
can treasure we now have or that
we may hope to have from now until
eternity.
1--WE are resolved to 1iberate
France, Belgium and the other op-
pressed peoples of the earth; we are
resolved that democracy and free
dom and civilization and righteous
ness shall not perish from the face
of the earth; and that no German
Kaiser or any other kind of kaiser
or despot. shall ever again be per-
mitted to menace the peace of civil
ization or the immortal principle OF
righteousness, of justice. of law and
order in the world.
I'VE are going to give, as a result
of this war and as the reward of the

shall be the peace of Jesus Christ
and the righteousness He came on
earth to establish"
