of destiny strikes. We must concn-
trate our forces and our resources
at the point OF contact when and
where the battle wages fiercest.
The superiority of the economic
resources is on the side Of the allies.
These economic forces and resources
should be brought to the highest
point of efficiency. The principles Of

Work for Man With Pock etbook
THE man with the pocketbook
must stand back OF the boy with the
bayonee. To buy a bond means to
back up the boy with the bayonet.
Many of these brave boys will never
Icome back again. Many Of them will
lie down to sleep beneath the lilies
of France. Many of them will answer
the last summons of duty with no
sentinel save the silent stars, with
no mourner save the weeping night.
These brave boys are giving the ul-
innate proof OF their devotion. They
are offering the ultimate sacrifice
upon the shrine OF their nation
honor. Shall we abandon them up
on the field of battle? Shall we de-
sert them in the face of the foe ?
IL we are to do our duty as they are
doing their duty We must finance the
war, as they are fighting the war. 1t
Is something more than para
phrase Of an ancient proverb TO say,
He also serves who only buys a
bond The service Of a'man who
merely pays taxes. while he renders
public service is merely the dust
in the balances to those who fight in
the trenches. The service OF him
who buys bond, while II is a three
fold service, is not to he compared
With the service Of the sacrifice Of
him who imperils his life at the
point of the bayonet, at the mouth of
the cannon. The man who buys a
bond renders service to his coun-
try, renders a service to the soldier
at the fronA renders service to
himself and to those who are de-
pendent upon him. II he were so cal
culating as to think that he Is cast
ing bread upon the waters. 1t is
quite as important to buy bond as
It is TO pay taxes. Both are essen
tial TO the prosecution OF the war,
The failure OF Liberty loan would
be little less disastrous than the loss
Of battle.
Two Sets of Feelings.
II know there are two sets OF feel
ings or sentiments to which an APP
peal can be made. There is an ap-
peal TO the passions, an appeal to
hate, an effort TO arouse resentmen
and animosty. This is Germany's
tact. We have marveled at her cam
paign of hate, at the hymn OF hate,
which she has taught her children
to sing. Perhaps we cannot realize
the president declaration that we
would wage war without rancor. Per
haps that is too much TO expect OF
human nature. Parents whose sons
are going into the jaws OF death will /
doubtless hate with a hate that is
more than hate. This Is spontaneous.
There are feelings in the human
heart which react against injustice
and brutality as the sensitory nerves
react 10 frost and flame. As people |
we shall place humanity above hate.
We should be an example to our en-
emies. ! appeal to your sense OF du-
