The Horrors OF War

The cowardly sinking of trans
port this week loaded with Ameri-
can soldier boys for France shows
clearly the tactics employed by the
brutal enemy with which we are at
war. Hundreds of our boys were
drowned by being stabbed by
cowardly submarine without having
the opportunity of facing the enemy
on the battle field The Kaiser says
it is all right, because our boys were
on a mission of war. So did the
Kaiser say it was all right and au-
thorized the sinking of the Lusitania
in 1915, with hundreds of her inno-
part of her human cargo, drowning
them like rats in a trap.
Can you conceive OF a more brutal
enemy? Can you conceive how any
loyal American can keep his dollars
boarded when the Government is
calling for financial help to fight this
brutal enemy. Certainly all loyal
Americans will put forth extraordi-
nary effort to help our Government
in this time of need and help avenge
the deaths of our noble boys.
The Government has offered you
a way, you do not have to give the
money, simply lend your money thru
the purchase Of War Savings and
Thrift Stamps. Do not put it off.
We must win this war. We will win
this war, but we must have the help
of every citizen in this country. Buy
War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps and ask your neighbors to
do likewise.
