they had toured the United States on
of them said, The plan of Germany i,
all for self and the plan of the United
States is all for ALL
Germany has been for self, first
last. and at all times.
America stands today for the de
struction of the power that has sough
to bully the nations of the earth, fo1
the league OF nations that will proven,
any other wars like the one we are
now in. Americas spirit is saving the
world at this very hour She hates
war because we are peace-loving ma
ton. That is why we were slow get
ting in, but we are in it now to see il
to the very finish. We are in it te
bring the worlds bully to his knees
and l think we will do it sooner thar
We imagine.
U. S. Soldiers Turned Tide.
"This bully has never done one
commendable thing and his crimes
have been innumerable. He is un
moved at any crime he has com
mitted
There is no question but that the
American boys have turned the tide
1T has been shown already that the
spirit of America is that Of logged
determination. Those boys do not
care for their lives. They matter not
They have changed the movement on
the west front from one of gloom and
despair to hope and determination.
Those boys over there feel confident
that we are doing our best and for that
reason they are doing their best
Germany says America is war mad.
She is not right America is right
eously indignant and h,r fire will be
famed to a white flame until autoc-
racy is wiped out.
When you take Liberty bonds you

and manifest the spirit that the boys
over there are manifesting.
This is no time for eloquence of
words, but eloGuence of Deeds" said
The Rev. Wicks We must take the
shortest route possible to our pocket
books
There is no need of arousing pat
'iotism. l am here to jog your will.
Good Investment.
when the boys come back there
must be some alibi and Liberty bonds
will make a good one. We must do
something because when our children
grow up they will want to know what
We were doing in the war and we must
AVE something to show for ourselves.
We may think that our money is
ost in the billions at the bottom of
| pit, but if we consider it in smaller
dimensions we know that it is helping
me boy to do WELL
The Germans think that the money
hey are investing is good insurance.
Should we not feel the same? After
We have thought of our country, we
ave a right to think of our own in
erests. When We do we see that we
ave invested our money. We are be-
ng given chance to share in the
reat mortgage.
This is an appeal to our patriotism
nd we should make a splendid re-
ponse. 1t is an appeal to self and
he investment should be splendid"
Mrs. Druitt appealed to the women
o do their part in helping to finance
he war and to pay particular atten- |
ion to the small investor.
