France. Let us come back. and
fall in step, and live our lives,
along with you, in such a way as
to make the blood of America,
which has been shed "a a.. ever
France. not have been shed in
vain. We want to live our lives
in memory of those we leave
over here, and we shall demand
that the principles for which
they died live forever.
Just few more words and |
shall have finished. | must. in
my first account of the war,
make an attempt to impress up
on you, and beg that you scatter
the same all over the land, the
vital Importance of an absolute
backing of the army at home.
We know you are with. us, but
here and there a man is found
who is against US; he is gather
ing personal benefits, and we are
paying the price. Every time a
man does one little thing against
the furthering of the war, an
American boys life is the price.
If you had seen what have
lived you would, along with
every soul in the land, give up
everything you have, and live in
the woods, if necessary, to en-
able the army to drive this war
to an early end. The man who
puts self above his country, who
thinks of profit and gain rather
than service is worse than the
blacklist spy in the German
army. 1t is up to you who are
with us, body, soul and heart to
clean out that class of reptiles in
America just as if they were a
den of rattlesnakes. We know
that your are with US, and ! real
ize that your fight is the hardest,
but all together, without a hitch,
we can soon bring an end to it
all.
I'VE are fighting with a re-
newed vigor and determination,
for we know the breed of So
called humans whom we must
stamp out, and, again, we have
the work of our fallen comrades
to complete, and so, with a
higher purpose. with greater
faith and with a song in our
hearts and smile up on our
lips, we are driving, driving, day
ard night. straight into the
heart of Germany"
Again we ask, would you stay
their hands? Indeed not. This
is no time to talk peace. The
war is not nearly over. Now is
the time to strike, and strike
hard. The German Peace
offensive" must be met with a
bond offensive. There must be
no Stacking in the rear line.
Double the amount asked for
and accept an unconditional sur
render of the whole Hun forces.
