FOR SERVICE

"fH" ~" -
In this time Of national peril when in
aefense Of our rights and liberties we as
nation have been forced to enter the
War against the German military autoc-
facy, We are all drafted for service Each
nd every one Of US owes and must per-
9rm some patriotic duty in support Of
ur country, Some Of US are drafted for
ervice in the army and navy and are
A allied upon to risk our lives in battle,
I'D 1triying to prevent our home land from
icing subjected to the horrors of an in
vading foe.
Heia The success Of our forces who go over
ofseas will depend very largely upon the
- support we render them here at home.
-SWe must build ships to take them over.
We must produce arms, munitions and
=, lIsupplies. We must produce food sup
ants plies and preserve them so that our over
-, seas forces and our allies may be fed.
'Uuin short, we must all work for the war.
p,hh rhe war is the chief business concern
-.. A each and every one Of us and we are
HE''f IN drafted for service.
ionsIA II we are slackers in any way we help
-. he enemy to kill our own men. II any
p our relatives or friends are killed be-
,ause we have withheld the needed
equipment or supplies then their blood
vii be on the hands Of those Of US who
,Od fave withheld our support. We cannot
'kII Escape our responsibility to those who
are offerlng their lives for our protection
We must labor to produce the things that
are needed and we must curtail our own
. consumption in order that we may better
. supply our soldiers and our allies
To prosecute the war with full ma
tional strength the government must
have first call for labor and materials
! - for war purposes Every workingman is
drafted for service to do his part In pro-
ducing war goods or In supporting war
producers. He is also drafted for SER
vice in ecOnomizing and saving in every
= possible way so as to lessen his own COM
, petition against our own government for
labor and materials. The more unnec-
essary things are consumed the greater
the demand for labor and materials to
reproduce them, and the less labor and
materials are available to the govern
n ment to prosecute the war. If only by
teaching the people to save and not to
. compete with the government for labor
and materials that we can put the whole
strength Of the nation into this war
