OUR PART.
With the tremendous drive of the German
army on the western front and its appalling list
of casualties for both enemy and allies the Unit
ed States is beginning to feel the real horror of
war. The German war machine is as ruthless in
its slaughter of its men as in the toll of
death from the allies, and the losses in the
Kaisers army have been tremendous.
Those who heard Sergeant Verne Marshal
when he spoke in Pensacola, and who later lis
tened to the stirring words of 1t Darden will re-
member that they declared that the German
army would never take Paris. They gave the
wonderful morale of the French army as the rea-
son for this positive declaration.
DR.. S. r. Mallory Kennedy and Corporal Camp
bell both of whom served in the British army
have spoken with equal enthusiasm of the morale
of the British.
OF the morale of our American army we
we feel sure, not only because we know them to
be the best material that fighting men are made
of, but because the French and the British have
Joined in praise of their fighting qualities
The immediate outlook of the present drive
may not seem encouraging But no one who has
faith in right and justice, no one who bases his
belief on the power of manhood for victory can
doubt the outcome of the war.
While it is distressing that the Germans have
again reached the Marne there is solid comfort
