Pc THE LITTLE LAD

BY Agnes Lee of the Vigilantes.
To me it's always the little lad
Afraid to speak his name.
But he was one of the first to go,
When his heart received the flame.
He used to steal from the shadOwy
room,
And over the lighted stair,
If dismal tales were being told.
But he won the Croix de Guerre.
He clutched my hand when the thun-
der broke
He paled at the lightning's glance.
But he met the Teutons face to face.
And fell with the sons Of France.

LESSON TAUGHT BY
YEAR OF The WAR

SliderS. Aroused now to the sOemnity
of our task, the duty will be perform
ed to the end-victory Yet only when
every one does his full share shall that
victory come.
War. Is Grim Work.
Urge haste, urge thoroughness urge
unremitting effort. Take the war seri-
ously, for war is grim work, and we
have an enemy who thinks of nothing
but efficiency. Our soldiers are not on
ly to be amused, but armed and taught
to fight. Insist that this comes first.
More guns, more ships, more air.
planes! Is your congressman or SEN
ator tagging? Punch him up. Act ev-
cry day as If your life and your wife
were in danger. They are! Speed up
the war!
Have you learned that waste is
treason?
Upon us our allies depend not only
for men and munitions but for food
and clothing. If our permanent liberty
is to be won, they must for while de-
fend it for us, till we, too, can fight.
Shall we waste, then, while they
want? While they are to be fed and
clad, waste is treason. Save wheat,
save meat, save wool The war needs
everyone's strictest economy.
The good ship Democracy Is sorely
beset by the storm. Shall the passen-
gers revel while the crew starve? Di
vide! Divide, and save the ship lest
all be lost!

Truths Brought Home to Ameri
cans by Great Fight for
Democracy.
ALL CAN Share IN BATTLE
Send Your Dollars to Government
Rout Our Enemy Within Our
Gates-Your Patriotism
on Trial.
BY GELETT BURGESS of The Vigi-
Iantes.

BY GELETT BURGESS of The Viei-
lantes.
What have you learned from this
first year of the war?
Have you learned that no peace is
possible but one founded upon the tri-
umph of democracy?
Germany's. faithlessness to her
treaty agreements in Belgium has had
it's sequel in her deceit in Russia. Ger
mans frfghtfulness Is the deliberate
policy of autocracy in it's design to en-
slave the world. All pretenses. Of lib
eral reforms have been drowned in
the rising lust for world-conquest.
Intoxicated by self love and ruthless
ambition the kaiser and his war lords
seek to bring all civilizations under the
reign Of brute force. Nation after ma
tion has fallen their prey. If we are
to survive, that malign doctrine of
might-makes-right must be destroyed
forever.
Have you learned that you, too, can
fight in the battle for freedom? s.
Lend your money to the Liberty
Loans; give it to the Red Cross. Every
dollar lent the government helps equip
a soldier: every dollar to the Red
Cross succors him in his time of need.
l. you are a patriot you can no more
keep out of these "drives" than, if a
soldier, you could refuse to 60 over
the top into No Mans Land.
Dollars Are Soldiers.
Dollars are soldiers, too! Your dol
lars will fight to end the war. Each
private may think his own worth small
but all together they make an army.
Your dollar seems small, but If each
does his share the war will have suffi-
cient backing.
For your boys sake, If he is "over
there" subscribe! You would not re-
fuse to help a pal? Well, you have a
million pals! Help them!
Have you learned that the enemy is
herewith us, too?
The soldiers blood, in the trenches,
is not only drained by flying shells-it
is sucked by rats and lice. Here at
home we have human vermin preying
upon us. Just as evil and insidious as
the trench pests are the pro-German
spies and propagandists and the paci-
fists who seek to impede or discoun-
tenance the war. Watch them, watch
for them, seek them out.
Let no seditious word or act 60 un.
reported. Let the alien enemy sub
ject declare plainly where he stands,
whether he is for us or against us. If
German born, urge him to join the
League for Americans of German Orig
in and thus manifest at once his in
eradicable love for the fatherland and
his devotion to his adopted country.
Those who are not for us are against
us!
Have you learned that your patriot
ism is being tried by your faith and
your works?
Be not cast down by defeat. Spread
no rumors of calamity. When the dark
days come, encourage the timid and
fearful, reprove the alarmist and back
