LOYALTY IN WAR TIME
Loyalty in peace times and loyalty in war times
two distinct things. Not much is required to PASS
the loyalty test when ones country is not at war;
simple compliance with the law is all that is required
But loyalty in times is not passive quality
At such time may be without loyalty and still
not be disloyal person of this type will do nothing
either to assist to harm his country. He will not
give himself to his countrys service and he will not
contribute financial support. Neither will be disccur-
age others from doing this He will do nothing
reasonable, and neither will he do say anything to
put heart in the fighting forces to uphold the Ma
tion in its struggle. He will be simply passive on
locker And that is not being loyal.
Our country is fighting in the most desperate strug-
gle of history 1t is struggle vast and momentous
to demand the most complete support Of every one
of its citizens Passive loyalty-he loyalty of peace
times-s not sufficient The brand of loyalty now de-
manded is the kind that impes to offer himself
and his ALL if necessary that his country may be vic
torious in the great conflict.
Most of US not go into the fighting forces;
most of not enter into those industries directly
connected with the war; but all of us can show our
neighbors that have the right brand of patriotism
Our Government is urging upon the necessity
of saving essential to victory. We told that
there is not enough man power and not sufficient ma
erias in the country to win quick victory if we con-
tnue to this power and these materials we
did before the 1t is pointed out that there
than 100000 men in the Army and Navy,
and that by August this number will be in creased TO-
3,OOO444 with steady addition to that number from
then These men not only cease to be producers,
but they become consumers q vast SCALE
! Thus it is that urged to buy only those
things which need in order that shall not
up labor and waste materials and transportation,
tn the m its
and much needed in the manufacture of things
sental to the health and efficiency of citizens
BY foowin gthe Governments request to produce
to maximum capacity and to little as
possible shall give practical expression to 10y
| aty-a militant loyalty the brand which stamps
being willing to do part at home by sacrificing
by getting down to basis, by backing up
Government with all our strength. With money
savings then buy War Savings Stamps and
perform double service by giving the Government
current funds with which to buy the labor and ma
terials much needed for purposes which have
\ refrained from using That is loyalty.

"UNTIMELY BOLDNESS" 2
"The Marines" says the dispatch describing Of
the finest small engagements of the war; "went beyond
their objective and entered the village of Torcy" That
is what might have been expected of the impetuous
youth of this gallant corps, Golfers 1t be
fault to be exharated by the spirit of pursuit that
you 60 DeyOnQ pOlnC Wnlcn you were aSkeO
and hold, but it is fault closely akin to virtue.
"Happy the army" says Causewtz, ''in which an un-
timely boldness frequently manifests ITSELF it is an
exuberant growth which shows rich SOIL" British Of
fcers have complained eof the headong eagerness of
the Canadians which carried them farther than they
should have gone and exposed them to unnecessary
danger. But the fierce spirit of the Canadian did much
to enlven their neighbors from the motherland Our
men of the same mold T.
In this connection it may be said that modern Amer
lean military theory is all in favor of persistent attack
werely holding POSITIONS" says American off,
Ger OF high standing. "When get troops enough
over there will try to push through. That is the
dehnte policy of leaders, and that is what the
PIE OF this country expect of u.s." He added piece OF
cneerfu information. "Most of ourtroops in the
Metz sector he said. "And know the Metz sector
as well as know my back yard. The German
problems on that sector sent to and became
part OF our daily grind at school If fail there, it
Will not be because don't understand the military
opportunities and difficulties Of that part of the line"
General Foch is of the same school as our younger
officers, for he "Our first axiom must be that
completely to achieve its object battle must not be
purely defensive. purely defensive battle even we'll
conducted, does not result in victor and a vanouished
1t is simply game that must begin over again." n
When the times comes to swing his "budeeon" as
he describes it, the general will find none of his follow
the American troops whose fighting blood is of the
yond their objective and entered the village of Torcy
