THE reasons for this great war, the
reason why II had to come, the need
to fight II through and the issues that
hang upon it's outcome are more
clearly disclosed now than ever be.

particular loan means, because the
cause we are fighting for stands more
sharply revealed than at any previous
crisis OF the momentous struggle. The
man who knows least can now see
plainly how the cause OF justice
stands and what the imperishable
thing Is he is asked to invest in. Men
