 Many an American son has gone dow, has made the supreme sacrifice for his Coun- try and liberty Before the german horde Is driven back within its own borders, many more American sons will go down. How many, depends upon us at home.
 A small American army, no matter how brave, will inevitably suffer severe casualties. A gigantic American army will overwhelm the hun and bring quick victory with the least loss of life.
 The lives of our sons are Tn our hands, The boys are ready, willing and eager They must be trained and equipped. No time must be lost. It IS up to us to provide the money necessary to make these boys invlnci- ble. We must do 1t and do 1t quickly.

MILITAR|SM WILL EVER
CLOSE DOOR FOR GERMANY

Paris, July 12.-Germany has ex-
cluded herself from the society of ma
tions and will remain outside of ii
as long as she is embarrassed by mil
itarism and the door will not be opened
until she has changed, says Andre Le-
bey, who is writing a report on a
league of nations for the foreign af-
fairs committee of the chamber of
deputies. In a statement to the Petit
Parisien Deputy Lebey says:
"The allies have established at Ver-
sailles an interallied war council; why
should they not organize there an in
terallied committee to study the idea
of a league of nations? This would
be a sort -of small-sized interallied
peace parliament to do for peace what
the war council seeks to do for war.
The two actions are parallel and COM
Elementary. This first international
parliament would be the germ of a
league of nations. Why not seize on
the occasion of the anniversary of
