(By Charles ]. Rosebault Of The
Vigilantes)

Here are a few answers to this
question, which has been worrying
the members of the Home Army ever
since Uncle Sam decided to make
stand for human decency. They are
answers dictated by Uncle Sam him
self through his chosen agents in the
various activities he has felt 1t nee
essary to take on for the period of
the war. Study them carefully, all
you good soldiers Over Here. Com
NIT to memory, each Of you, those
which fit your particular case and
cherish them as special gifts from the
great god Opportunity. They will
tell you how you can make good in
your sphere. Even as the man Over
There is expected to be land will be-
alert for the opportunity to do his
part with efficiency and dispatch, SO
you have the chance to do yours.
Prompt response to commands from
headquarters by the soldiers of the

similar response by the boys in
