FFAfter nearly four years of civil
strife when our people were heart-sick
Of the awful struggle and Abraham Lin
coln, the greatest statesman of the nine
teenth century, was importuned from a
thousand angles to stop the awful car
mage he made this remark:
Z" We accepted this war for q wor-
thy object; the war will end when that
object is attained, Under God, hope
it will not end before that time
AS in Lincoln $ time there are tens
of thousands who would stop this war
now whether or not the right conclusion
is reached. But, thank Heaven, the
great rank and file of our people are
determined to see it through to an ulti-
mate and just conclusion,

diers released from the Russian front,
and hundreds of thousands released
from the italian front because of the
backing up of Italy, the most stipend
Gus war power the world has ever
known is preparing night and day,
week after week, for an attack on the
line from Flanders to Switzerland. We
believe that line will hold; but whether
it does or not this conflict is one of

resources of ammunition, supplies, and
money will win.

and intellect we possess to the end that
the civilization of thousand years
growth shall not perish, and that all the
struggles and bloodshed and anguish
OF hundreds Of years of strife for de-
mocracy shall not be entirely done
again.
Every member of your family and
every member of my family should
have thrift cards and war saving GER
tificates. We viii have our cake and
eat it too, for in saving our dollars our
government pays interest, adds that in
terest in every three months so that it
too in turn will draw interest. All
this is backed by the strongest nation
financially that the world has ever
produced.
Let's do our part in this regard
