''YOU MUST WORK
s HOURS EVERY
DAY FOR BONDS"
Prominent Woman Worker
Says American Women
Must Quit Being
Parasites

Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip of New
York City, treasurer of the National
Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, 'ts
urging upon the women Of America
definite and consistent war service,
In a recent interview she said:
American women must quit being
parasites and learn to give instead of
few days a week is not enough for
any woman to give her country. We
must give a full business day, an g.
hour day every day of the week if we
are to count for anything while the
war lasts"
Mrs. Vanderlip outlined the splen-
did work which has been done by the
women of Great Britain and France
and congratulated American women
on having as their allies in their new
work such women.
"If we ever have another war;"
said Mrs. Vanderlip, women will be
in the trenches. What do the pa
cifists mean wAen they want is to
stop before our present job is done?
There is but one standard for
measuring a m in this e day
of war. That is dependability. The
woman who can be depended upon is
the one we want. The one who can
not be counted upon is the one who
will be dropped. forever. A profess
sional spirit is the need of Ameri-
can women, who have been parasitic
for too long. We must stop taking
and give. Eight hours a day is "a
short day for this great work we have
before us. Two or three hours a day
to the Red Cross is not enough for
any, woman to give as her war work.
I'VE must get as our personal point
Of view the realization that we can
not have our cake and eat it too. We
must ask ourselves, in this war of
equipment rather than men, who must
go without If we have the things we
have been accustomed to. Business
and pleasure cannot go on as usual if
we are successfully to conduct this
tremendous new business Of var
I'VE have forgotten, when we are
buying new clothes and eating the
wheat and sweets that we want and
riding in our motor cars, that we are
hampering the Government. We are
standing in the way of the Govern
ment's business which is war.
when you want to spend a dollar
for candy or unnecessary clothes land
we buy more clothes than we need
because of pride) count that dollar
as a traitor dollar. If you save that
dollar and invest 1t with the Govern
ment you are serving the Government
doubly, for you are aiding in f1nane-
Ing the war and you Are releasing the
labor and materials needed for the
unnecessaries which you have de-
manded formerly.
I'VE are fighting an enemy that is.
far from beaten. 1t has won every
thing it started out after. It's dream
Of Mittel Europa is realized now.
Only a military victory can save de-
mocracy. We must sacrifice ourselves
as we have sacrificed our men folks.
We must learn to hate that we may
effectively kill the evil thing that is
running not only the bodies but the
souls of its people and threatens the
rest Of the world"

Will You Be Ready For
Inspection?

The boys at the front now are oc-
,Cupying trenches. Some are in the
first line trenches, dispatches tell us.
: You at home are in the back line

The fellows in the front line
trenches must stand inspection regu-
Ilarly.
You in the back line trench, too,
must stand inspection. Will you be
ready?
Remember, those brave lads across
the sea are depending upon you to
stand by them. Everything they have
came from the fighters in the back
line trench-the big trench right here
in America.
Perhaps you don't realize the great
responsibility resting with you. 1t is
just as great as that shouldered by
the brave fellow across the sea.
Be a real soldier in the back line
trench, so you can stand inspection.
Be a good soldier in the home

The wars success or failure, so far
las Uncle Sam is concerned, depends
lOn what you do or don't do.
Save food, help the Red Cross, buy
Liberty Bonds.
Just look yourself over. Take an in
ventory of your bank account. Gaze
lover your record and see if you've

Are you that kind of a back trench

 There is hardly any doubt now that Norwich will go over the top and for the third time the city will not be lacking in patriotism. But should Norwich be satisfied just to clear the top? "OYer There" when the boys get oyer the top, they have just begun and No Mans Land is in front of them and the enemy trenches are to be reached We are backing those boys. So don't let Norwich just. go over the top. but go with the boys across No Mans Land into the enemy trenches. Every Bond is Bomb thrown at the Kaiser and the more we throw the sooner the end Don't let us slacken in the remaining three days.
