LESSON TAUGHT BY
YEAR OF The WAR

sliderS. Aroused now to the solemnity
of our task. the duty will be perform
ed to the end-yictory Yet only when
every one does his full share shall that
victory come.
War Is Grim Work.
Urge haste. urge thoroughness. urge
unremitting effort. Take the war seri-
ously, for war is grim work. and we
have an enemy who thinks Of nothing
but efficiency. Our soldiers are not on
ly TO be amused, but armed and taught
TO fight Insist that this comes first.
More guns. more ships, more air
planes Is your congressman or SEN
ator tagging? Punch him up. Act ev-
cry day as If your life and your wife
were in danger. They are! Speed up
the war!
Have you learned that waste Is
treason?
Upon us our allies depend not only
for men and munitions but for food
and clothing. If our permanent liberty
is to be won. they must for a while de-
fend il for us. till we. too. can fight.
Shall we waste, then, while they
want? While they are TO he fed and
clad, waste is treason. Save wheat,
save meat, save wool! The war needs
everyone's strictest economy.
The good ship Democracy is sorely
beset by the storm. Shall the passen-
gers revel while the crew starveP Di-
videi Divide. and save the ship lest
al be lost
