edge of war requirements and beal
in mind that there are no soft snaps
in the war. There is nothing easy
in this war, absolutely nothing, anC
there are lot of fellows who are
looking for easy berths. Just q case
in point: A son of the Emerald Isle
was accepted as fit, the infantry got
him but ambition stirred in him a
desire to belong to the band; he fig

handled a musical instrument in his
life, but he figured up the difference
between bayonel and a drum and
the drum won, but Patsy became a
stretcher-bearer peIforce and the
champion sWearer of the corps. He

realize that a band may 90 to

The men became bearers and don't

other case of you can't beat man

and throw out the life. line, Uncle
Sam will furnish all the necessaries,
you simply obey orders. Some men

a perfect organiZation-you in your
little corner and in mine, all look
ing together for one grand object
to end this war. So do your bit and
thlow out the life line, from your
point of vantage, then we all win.
The people of America must wake
up, they must know what the boys
at the front have to put up with in
order to win such desperate fight;
they must have food, clothing, mu-
nitions and every comfort we can
give them, for remember they are
contending against 40 years of Ger
man preparation.
You cannot throw out the lifeline
too long or too far but what you will
reach brave heart and a willing
mind, all in defense of our home and
country and our flag. 1t matters
not whose father or son lit may
reach. they are all our boys and
proves the gospel fact that we are
our brother keeper. God so intend
ed it-that's your job and mine
so throw out the lifeline, talk 1t,
act it, live it and DO II.
would like to impress we'll into
your minds the fact that you do not
give enough credit where credit is
due. Thete is a great responsibility
on the shoulders of the heads of our
various military departments; the
vigor required is tremendous and no
eight or even Is hour day covers
the time of work, with care-free
hours to follow. On the contrary,
by day and by night the burden is
theirs; the pay for this exhausting
labor is small in money, while the
expenses are large. The men tussel
with opportunity and circumstances
which put thrill in his blood,
light in his eye that no man can
stand up under long. He lives in an
atmosphere of excitement, famed
into a fame by patriotism which is
in evidence by his tenacity and will
power and his desire to throw out
the lifeline. He is willing to make
q personal sacrifice and there is a
lot of them on the job every day, all
the time. That is why the kaiser is
afraid of Uncle Sam, and the kaiser
never did nor never will make a
weapon to check or retard the prog
ress made when Uncle Sam throws
out the life-Iine--it means some
thing and he knows, it, SO let US all
oct busy. Look for an opening and
when an opportunity comes In any
direction, through any channel, by
anv messenger, then with stout
heart a willing mind and a strong
am throw out the lifeline. for 1t
is written the least We do unto one
of these ye do it unto me. What
better reward do you want ? 80
again ask you to throw out the
lifeline"
