French and British armies. Her
mothers, fathers. wives and children
are resigned to tlae fates Of wax. know

price for her safety and security than
has France or Great Britain.
The great hour has come. The
doom Of autocracy was sealed when
America entered the war and ieS death
knell sounded when q sector Of the
battlefront was turned over TO her
stalwart sons.
President Wilson has said: The
euiminating crisis Of the struggle haa

year on the one side or the other mast
determine the issae."
No American doubts for a moment
what the deteTmimasion Of the iesme
