American casualties have reached
almost $4,000. That means nearly
fifty-thousand of ouh' boys have suf-
fered physical pain, many of them
physical agony and about 5000 of
them death, that we might con-
tinue to enjoy living in the country
where freedom has been the basic
principle of our Government. Sure
ly, when we are asked simply to
lend our Government the money
to help our boys who are fighting
for US IN France, we are not going
to let anything stand in the way
that will prevent our taking our
share of Liberty Bonds. 1t is time
to forego pleasures that will lessen
our capacity to assist the Govern
ment at this critical time. We can
lend our money and we can go still
further and lend our credit and in
this way, back the boys in France
to the limit of our resources. We
have each duty to perform and if
we do not do it, there will be a
weak place in the line and the re-
sponsibility will rest upon YOU.

fully good work, not only in rising

but in transforming this natreial

done very much more than their
share of the work. We might men,
ton several who have devoted prac-

time, so that Kendrick would not
be found wanting in this work of
mercy. Those who have been bear
ing the heaviest burden have been
doing so quietly without any expec-

manner except in their possession
of a feeling of satisfaction that
they have done what they could.
All honor is due these good people,
who have given so bountifully of
their time and enregy to bring this
