Two million American men in France
are today courageOusly facing danger
and darkness with drawn sword be
cause they know that behind their
faith and power in the couse Of world
freedom stand their women.
For every one Of these soldiers a
wife, mother, sister or sweetheart
stands as the personifcation Of the de-
mocracy he is battling to preserve.
And his strength depends greatly
upon her strength-how she feels and
acts.
Even the humblest, most obscure wo-
man counts tremendously in sustaining
the morale Of the nation and the armies
in the field. Unless all OF us realize
this and act accordingly America will
not be as strong as she might be in
carrying her high resolve to fullest
victory.
This great responsibility upon every
woman means that she must not only
be willing to consecrate her all in her
cOuntry's cause, but that she must also
do IL without whimpering, that she
must do IL with cheerful valOr. for In
that kind OF resolution lies the strength
that is victorious.
The Bible places a great premium
upon that kind OF courage.
In the chapter from Esdras above
quoted from, the chronicler tells Of a
dispute among three young men Of
King Darius bodyguard. They had
argued as TO "the strongest thing in
world" and the wisest Of the trio had

WASHINGTON. Aug. 31.-When
President Wilson takes his swing
around the circle for the Liberty loan
late next month, he will have the
first opportunity since his last cam
paign of going directly before the
body polite with straight talk on the
war, his objectives in it-and what
he proposes to do when 1t is over.
His tour will be from coast to
coast, north and south, and is made
necessary, as the United Press ex-
clusively announced recently, by in
ability of Secretary McAdoo to carry
alone the load OF loan campaigning.
Then, too, this is to be the biggest
loan America has yet floated for the
war, The president believes the
people should know what the money
Is for, why it is worth spending and
what America proposes to do In the
way of readjustment within her Dor
ders to make the battle of her sons
over there worth the fight they are
making.
Incidentally, party leaders expect
the president will take the opportu-
nifty of telling the people that con-
gress now controlled by the demo
Gratis has done a great work In the
war-and the balance OF power in
the house and senate need not be
changed to insure greater effort.
Owing to the ground covered by
the trip. the president probably will
be on the road for more than two
weeks, returning to Washington early
in October. 1t will be the longest trip
both in the matter of mileage and
time that he has taken since becom-
ing president, and will mark his first
visit to the west coast.
