These officers of the two forces
will solicit pledges the first six days
of the campaign, of which three are
now passed, and on the last day will
impress or draft into the service of
the respective forces every available
worker in the village to bring to the
flag pole those who have not yet
pledged themselves or who wish to
buy War Savings Stamps.
AS pledges are received the Of
ficers of the drive will bestow upon
the one making the pledge a badge,
the Army Badge red and the Navy
Badge blue, and each person pledg-
automatically becomes a member of
the forces which will contend for
supremacy Friday, June 28th If
, you wish to join the Army make
your pledge to an Army officer, but
if your inclination is toward the
rolling deep rather than the hot
marches across dusty prairies make
your pledges to a Navy officer.
The work or fight law recently
promulgated will be in full working
order.
You can have a little choice; it's
either the Army or the Navy, but
you must join some branch of the
service before the drive closes.
Both the Army and Navy are PLAN
ming some cOupes and strategic
moves TO bring victory TO their ban
ner, as may be readily seen by
Iwathing carefully either of the two
commanders in their quiet CONVEX
sations with parties Of influence
whenever they meet. II is general
lly predicted that the most brilliant
engagement of the foces will be stag
ed the night Of the twenty-seventh
when the Navy will use aerial
bombs and hydroplanes against the
heavy artillery and airpianes of the
Army.
Special appeal will be made to the
Red Cross workers TO have on hand
a efficient number of competents
nures and plenty of supplies>to take
proper care of the injured, and the
Y. M. C. A. will be induced TO estab-
lish a canteen or hut at some con-
venient place TO furnish nourish-
ment and recreation 10 the battle
SCARED warriors who will be COM
pelled TO drop out and wait for their
second breath.
Both forces are going Over the
Top and the decisive battle of the
campaign will be one weyy worth
witnessing from balloon or a bomb
proof shelter.
