Today Uncle Sans boys are
on the fighting line-right in
the midst of the blood and car
mage. At this moment good
American youths are facing the
power-crazed German hordes.
Perhaps today a score of our
brave lads were killed or wound
ed. Hundreds we know are
facing privations and suffering.
Shall we at home limit our in
terest to pity for them? No
they do not ask or want it. The
boys in khaki have gone to
their task willingly, most Of
them enthusiastically. Many of
them are volunteers; all of
them awaited the call with
a ready spirit. The American
soldier realizes he is doing a
stern duty, and he does it with
a will, as he does everything
else. When his sense of duty
drives him to extra effort, and
inspires him to supreme cour-
age, he doesn't give his bit, HE
GIVES ALL.
The American soldier, like all
red-blooded Americans, hates a
traitor, pities a coward, and de-
spises a Stacker. Of all our
troops now in France, and the
millions that are to follow,
there will be no towards or
siackers. From the reports of
Gen. Pershing we have yet to
learn from lover there" of the
first deliberate Stacker. And
now, with all these things In
view, it is unthinkable that we,
with every energy and every
dollar at our command, shall
even for a moment hesi-
tate to back the brave boys,
many Of them personally known
to us, to the extreme limit.
Liberty and freedom gave us
the opportunity to be prosper
Gus and comfortable, and now
with our boys at the front, CIV
ing their all to preserve to us
these privileges, in the name Of
reason, shall we hesitate to
back them, not with a few dol
lars, given grudgingly, but with
our financial life-blood, if neces-
sary? Don't stop to argue and
debate about the causes of the
war, and how we might have
stayed out Of it, and listen to
pacihsts, but look the grim
truth in the face: THERE is
A MAD DOG RUNNING
AMuCk, AND IT MUST BE
KILLED. This rabies-infected
animal is biting only your
nGghbor and his children at
present, but it can be here in a
week. IF WE FAIL, IT WILL.

gret that at this time they are un-
able to modify their former action.
