Hcs,,u,linr to Wars Demands

I VERY day in the year some official. pup

OF the war in which the nation is engaged

normal course OF their lives. But protest
is made against the assumption that this ma
ton has failed TO respond TO the call which
has made upon it, just because II has
not hid its face behind black crepe has
abandoned itself TO q period Of lamentation
and loud wailing.
The literal truth is that America has
yielded the best it has to the demands Of
foreign war II has uncomplainipgly au-
thorized its government to draft the flower OF
lis manhood into the army. Nearly 900. 900
other young Americans have volunteered for
military service. The people as whole have
submitted to sweeping taxation without
moments hesitation. and on ,op OF tina, have
invested already more than so.000.000,000
OF their savings in government bonds They
have appropriated money with lavishness
unparalleled in the history OF the world for
air fleets. for merchant and naval ships. for
their own army and for the armies Of their
allies. They are practiciug willing self
denial in the matter OF food, clothing and fuel
that there may be enough OF these things
10 divide with our war associates abroad.
Aside from all that moro than 100000
600 has been contributed TO the Red Cross
and more than 100000 Americans have
joined that organization. More than s10-
100000 has been donated to military

On the contrary. they are national coatribu-

lca!iE all OF il is :. voluntary Offering of
patriotic people conscious OF the vast under

- Only natural therefore, that such q poonle
shnuld grow little impatient at the endless
preaching TO which they are subjected: ,h.t
'hey should even show resentment when they
are daily enjoined TO realize that they arc
