Fighting for life.

Fighting for life
We can almost hear the cannon
booming The comparative inactivity
of the past few months has ceased
and millions of men. among them
thousands of our own flesh and blood
are engaged in a life and death
struggle. Germany has launched her
long heralded attack and is hurting
unheardof masses against the western
line. The Italian reverses last fall
and the collapse of Russia have en-
abled our enemy to concentrate his
full force and to strike terrific
blow at the line which the defenders
of liberty have stretched from the
North Sea to Switzerland. Our armies
are facing the most serious crisis
since the Germans were turned back
at the Marine The news from the
battle front calls for all the fortitude
and resolution we can muster. Ger
man guns speak louder than words.
AS we pray that the line may not
break, we must stand firm ourselves

and more evident that the duration
of the war and its successful con-
Summation will depend on the stead
fastness of the civilian population.
Our Red Cross abroad is facing the
emergency with the utmost skill and
heroism. The strain on the Red
Cross army behind the front is
scarcely less severe than the strain
on the lines themselves. Everything
that can be done to comfort the suf-
fering and heal the wounded is being
done. We at home. however, must
assure an unceasing flow of hospital
material. I plead with you. let there

a basis for better communities, better
