Worth Fighting For

CHALL this little girl grow up in the sort
of American home know, healthy and
~ happy? Shall she have the advantage of
living and learning in free land, under free IN
stitutons? Shall such children develop into the
Liberty loving citizens that free America may
be proud of?
For over two hundred years Americans have
fought vaIiantly, and died CALAMITY, to win for
themselves and hand down to their posterlty the
blessings of liberty, justice, sef-government and
equal opportunity. This precious heritage bought
at so great price, is threatened.
The question which today confronts America
as a nation, and you individual, is
whether not free America
is worth fighting for
Are American children in this and all future
generations to receive unlmpalred the legacy of
freedom of which we are the custodlans,
shall their country be turned over bodily to the
brutal rapaclous, power mad enemy which has
forced us into this war?
This question cannot be answered by word of
mouth, but by deeds alone.

(By Associated Press)

London, Wednesday,, May 1.-The
Victoria Cross has been awarded to
/ lLieutenants Allen Gerard and Alan
Mcleod, of the royal air forces.
| Gerard, when on an offensive pa
troll with two other enemy airplanes,
attacked five enemy airplanes. he
shot one down in flames and then at
tackled the enemy airdome, engaging
single handed some nineteen ma
chimes, which were either landing or
ascending. He crashed one against
the airdome. He was attacked by a
large number of machines but, see
ing one companion in difficulty, Ger
rard went to his assistance and de-
stroyed the third enemy airplane. A
fresh enemy force then attacked him.
Gerard retaliated and retreated un-
der orders, pursued by fire. He then
turned and, although apparently
wounded them, attacked them until
overwhelmed by numbers and driven
down.
Mcleod, attacked by eight irplanes
at an altitude of 5000 feet, skillfully
maneuvering, enabled his observer to
shoot down three. Both Mcleod and
the observer were wounded and the
machine aflame, but Mcleod climbed
out onto the plane, controlling the
machine, and, by side slipping steep.
ly, kept the flames confined to one
side, enabling the observer to con-
tinue his fire until they reached the
ground. a -

Republicans Support President Wilson

No president had better support from those Of
the opposite political party than Wilson has from the
Republicans.
He has had every dollar he asked and every soldier
he asked, by the votes OF Republican congressman.
The only criticism we have offered was that he did
not get out soldiers enough and did not train and equip
Them fast enough.
And we really satisfied with Wilson's great state
nients OF our aims His speeches and messages
good Republican doctrine.
OF course sorry when the Democrats force
him to do partisan things like his attack upon Lenroot
in Wisconsin, but may remember that he has led the
Democrats to accept lot things that they have always
opposed in the past and victories for the Republ
principles.
Now we must be ready to stand firm matter what
happens The Germans are doing good in breaking
down our pride. They may capture Amiens, and Paris
We shall have to actually kill several million Germans
before we can have a safe world. But going to
win. President Wilson, count support and go

There has been considerable ac-
tivity in the region of the Kiel
Canal in the last few days which
suggests the possibility of a move
on the part of the German fleet. 10
is probable that this will take place
only in case Of German success in
breaking through the English line
to the coast. Then battleships
would attempt to prevent the Eng
lish from getting their supplies and
reserves across the Channel.
