THE THINGS THAT COUNI
VXT AR TEACHES certain lessons often overlooked in tm
 w of peace. Real values separate themselves. Al

 the right fe liberty and the pursuit of happiness The right live the first these pledges The order is concordant with facts Man born with strong will to live, and he will usually give all that he has for fe So strong the Will to live amazing that agree to to bate There is something in man, and beyond himself which serves tomorrow today His w his desire live would if unopposed by other instincts motives to shun fighting They would postpone death at any cost
 Men who go to unselfish They put behind them not only the will to ve but the will for liberty and the will for happiness Liberty and happiness consist In the right to do what things prefers to do They include the right the rights enjoy the proceeds of work the right marry and the right to have family
 soldier behind him all of these liberties and all of this happiness This is tru whether he volunteers conscrpted not the nature of man cooperate for highest sacrifice great armies like the American army could not be assembled.
 The will to live conditions ngorious would assert it. self will to fight. Nation whose people lacked the spiritual ideal by which the future of the is guarded could not marshaled by their initiative, for fighting.
 Soldiers their lives The civil population the males which also potentially soldiers in the meantime feel strongly impeed together with the to make sacrifice of certain liberties and of certain habs contributing to happ 
 man who gives to the Red Cross may previously have put the amount into cigars better food he have intended to home with it. bonnet for his wife, bouquet for his sweetheart The purchase of Liberty bond is frequently sacrifice at the moment.
 The duty to work increases As millions of men are with drawn from industry to fight it of that others work who did not befor and that those remaining in industry increase production possible This is sacrifice of quite dsareeabe kind everybody knows who has been tempted in fishing weather or by the baseball game.
 The sacrifice of leisure demanded by the is not fan cfuI demand service but necessary demand, little thought will show.
 Precisely why it that the Germans after almost four years of fighting hold the rest of civilized mankind at bay They nation with a single w in which nearly every has been trained sodier nearly every to do sort of skilled labor The Germans productive that they branches of production the combined effort of the British the French the Italians and the Americans
 Germany forty years getting ready for this exhibition of coornaed power The world to survive and be free must attain 1t in shorter time.
 What stops industry mpedes the war; What impedes the makes for the subecon and perhaps for the extinction of the group cannot coordinate the victory Russia example The revolutionary leaders of Russia had set of which contemplated higher degree of civilization than existed anywhere in Russia anywhere in the world While the world continued hold to the ideal of force Russian lead espreached ideal of abnegaton They said that he friend mankind who would make powder that could not pode that would burst and They said that was no business of the common man.
 The result of this policy, impractical the wholesale destruction of Russian at home and abroad by who living in the present. The conclusion is utter archy in which nobody sa nobody happy and nobody comfortable. IF
 At the outbreak the America the rees the hap piest and the country It the country of common country in which each may the best that he has, and have tSe reward of his service
 To America and keep free it is to do two things Some must fight and the rest must work Produc ton is the necessary supplement of combat
 Successful, immediate and sustained production early end of the dollars worth of goods not the equivalent of dollars worth of ife Life is priceless All that hath will he give for his e
 The practical conclusions to be drawn these presented with daily reeraton in thousand forms Just fighting consist of millions associated production the It is not thing that must be done but many
 One set of conditions relate to farmers another disrb ors and another to industrial producers In Bridgeport great industrial community charged with especial responsibilities production, these things necessary among others
 That the producers should steadily to their york; missing tme That producers while at their work should all that they consistent with normal heah and do well they Strikes to be avoided because they joint and impede production. They not necessary The government will do justice
 Not to heed these things to be houghtess and selfish Gad unwise.
 There is the duty to those who have gone to the war; the duty to those who have not gone.
 Intelligence wishes the to end sharply It wants tory Otherwise the of enlistment will constantly and who could not the wisdom of efforts .dsry will have learn the wisdom of effort not to make it brings defeat pain and death
 These things are simple sense, which hardly
