Don't spread the falsehood that this
is a rich mans war. 1t is being
fought for the welfare of the poor of
the whole world. Rich men and their
wealth, and comfort in due proportion
to their number. Activities thqt tepd
to destroy, discredit, or discourage
honest wealth attack the prosperity
of the entire Nation and cripple its
power. Gigantic industries make this
Nation gigantic, and give it taxpay-
ing, money-spending, money-lending
powers equal to armies of soldiers.
Don't rail against CONSUMPTION. 1t

forced on the country by the terrific
man power OF the enemy. based on a
CONSUMPTION policy in force for gen.

Don't underestimate your own abil-
ity to help. The day has long passed

invaluable not only at the front as
nurses, ambulance drivers, clerks and
canteen managers, but just as valu-

ice. not to mention the numberless
industries in which women are re-
placing the men at the front.
