FRANCE.
Pierce.

Two million Yankee soldiers are
fighting for the great idea which is
called America, but they would not
be here at all if it were not for
France, for all she is and for all she
has been through more than a CEN
tury of freedom.
1t is difficult to imagine that the
United States would ever have sent
an army to fight on European soil
in war in which France was not en-
gagged. More and more clearly the
American people see now that they
are waging once again their old bat
tie for independence, but it is doubt
full if they would have given their as
sent to the war if France had not
been endangered, if their entry had
not meant fighting side by side with
their sister republic.
Americas admiration for France is
one of the faircst pages in history.
You will look in vain through the
chronicle Of the nations for another
such example of one country loving
another, and when America has
added the extra force needed to drive
the invader from her borders, France
can thank the sentiment for her which
has grown in American hearts from
those anxious days when French aid
settled the outcome of the American
revolution.
She can thank all the devoted

AMERICAN WOMEN CALLED
INTO COUNTRY'S SERVICE
Must Conserve Every Resource, Save
Labor and Money to Make Fourth
Liberty Loan Success.
BY MRS. ANTOINETTE FUNK,
Vice Chairman Woman's National Lib
erfn 1 nan Canaraiftaa

WIG SHaIHiaH WoIldIIS NdtioHdi LID
erty Loan Committee.
This is war that belongs to women.
1t Is not being waged for conquest,
nor for glory, nor for any empty rite,
nor for material gain. 1t is a war for
humanity, and wherever men, women
and children are concerned it is wom-
ans business.
In this great world crisis that Is
now upon us the president of the
United States has called American
women into the service Of the world
Our allies remain unconquered be-
sacrifice Of their women. We, too,
shall prove invincible with the COM
plete conservation of our womanhood.
When Secretary -McAdoo called the
women of America to do their part in
| inGncing the world, he reminded them
that while battles were won by men,
wars were won by money, and that
money could only be raised with the
aid Of the nations women.
Women do not often handle large
sums of money. but a giant army Of
them hold a large per cent Of the
| iflies and the hundreds of the last
Liberty loan. Those with small saw
lngS. too small to invest in high class
securities are purchasing the finest Sc
rurlties under the sun in the market
of The world.
Money alone will not win the war
For, If all the gold in the world were
! placed in shining heap, it would be
useless unless converted into terms of
| abor.
| Labor means everything that we
must use in the war-food clothing,
munitions, ships, houses, railroads, an
The vital elements that make up the
everyday life of individuals and of the
nation.
Woman must conserve labor as she
| ,onserves food. No woman has q right
20 anything to wear or to eat, to look
at or to listen to, that she can pos
! sibly do without. All of these take
necessities of war.
When the government has reached
out its hand and laid 1t on the lives
Of it's men nothing else matters. When
our men have been asked to give all
| life itself If need be-nO:hing that we
,an do or suffer really matters.
What do the graces of life matter
! when our plowshares are beaten into
swords? What does the quality of
food or the kind of clothing natter
when men and women must ask them
selves, us my boy hungry| as he
'rozen?" We can give nothing that
has not already been given by the
youth that has marched out of our
homes.
Liberty bonds are as good as coin of
The realm, but If they were not and
America needed the money, the women
Of the nation would frame those bonds
and hand them down TO their chill
iren's children as certificates of 10y
atty.

The articles collected by the To-
cal w. C. T. u. for the rummage

Tanks are big factor now In roll

saving the lives of thousands of men
by crushing the vicious machine-gun
