OUR SUPREME. DUTY.
BY CHAMP CLARK.
Speaker of tho House of Representatives

Speaker Of tho House Of Representatives.
Somebody has said that duty 10
the sublimest word in our language.
Our supreme duty is to carry this war
to successful conclusion. We have
never been beaten In any war in which
we have been engaged, and the Ameri-
can people are determined that we
shall not be defeated in this titanic
struggle. President Wilson and the
Congress have solemnly dedicated to
this cause all of our national resources
in men and property-if needs be.
The two most important things in
war are men and money. The Con-
gress will vote them from time to time
In such numbers and such amounts as
are deemed necessary to the accom-
plishment of American purposes.
Another large bond issue is impend-
ing, and it is to be hoped that the
bonds will be promptly subscribed for.
Those of US who are over the military
age, or for any other reason are de-
barred from fighting, can pay. and it
is our solemn duty to do SO. I practice
what preach, and invested every dol
lar 1 had-and some / borrowed-in
bonds.
A failure of this new bond issue
would injure our standing in the world
as much as the loss of a great battle,
and wound our self-respect beyond all
surgery. for we all must realize that
no nation will long survive or deserves
to survive which does not protect all
it's citizens wherever they may be by
land or sea
