Must Drive to Win

That victory follows the decisive attack and
never comes with even the most courageous de-
fense Gen. Foch points out as the first principle
of modern warfare. In other words American and
allied forces must assume the offensive before the
kaiser is beaten into submission. We must carry the
war home to the Germans into the very heart of
the German empire-ON TO BERLIN!
Merely warding off blows isn't enough. We must
whip the Huns now or fight this all again
in the near future.
We believe the nations eagued against kaserism
are approaching the day when ''Thcy shall not
pass' will no longer be the battlecry. America
hasten the day when the word will pass all along
that line cover thereon TO BERLIN!
For the United States must be ''over there" in
overwhelming forces before Gen. Foch's "pre-
pared bludgeon' can drive the Germans back
across the Rhine and carry the to the kaiser's
doorstep where it rightly belongs.

Members of the American Labor Commission in

the plan of few French socialists to meet with
German workmen in neutral country to talk
over peace plans.
"Never will American workers meet the Ger
mans until the latter abandon the cause of imperial
ism and mlitarism - declared James Wilson of the
u. S. commission, adding ''Till then Americans
will fight to the last dollar and the last drop Of
blood"
In other words, the German people must come to
peace meeting with clean hands, and as long as
kaisersm is their god their hands are stained with
savagery, inhumanity and gross injustice.

children who in about five years will be starting
in high school. Then they'll need more money than
now. I'm beginning to save that extra money
now by investing in one Thrift Stamp for each
every day. That will make $75 year for each
child in 1923, besides which all the money they
earn and save is added to what mother and call

me bid you good night"
