Germany From the clouds.

eddie" Rickenbacker is quoted as
saying:
Germany looks rather peaceful
from above and there seems to be little
disturbing them back a ways from the
lines. That is where an airman's
point of view is defective. The Ger
man hills and fields look as soft as
ours. Probably they are, which is
not very soft. Any field covered with
grass always looks soft and you think
1t would make a fine landing place.

forced to land on any old field that
happens to be under you. some time

Stand Under The Flag.

A French officer was asked hisopin-
ion as to whether or not we would
win the war, and replied, cit depends
on their holding out. And this "hold-
ing OUT that he ment, was to be done
by the people back home.
Perhaps some of you have read of
the Civil War veteran of '73 who got
by the Canadian recruiting office and
went to France to fight. There will
always be Tories, backsliders, timid
folks with no imagination, no courage
and no vision beyond their own door
ways, and we must put heart into
these people, and see that they pull
level They must not scatter their
seeds of Encouragement, cowardice or
dissension, lest they cause others to
falter, when we must go forward in
solid ranks.
This month we are campaigning for
WAR THRIFT STAMPS. On the
sixth Of April the campaign for the
sale of the LIBERTY LOAN BONDS
began and is meeting with the great
est response every where. From May
9Th to the 18th will be RED CROSS
WEEK.
Every one of these campaigns is as
important in its psychological effect
upon the minds Of the people, as in
it's more material side. Germany has
won nothing which counts in this war,
by her much vaunted military ma
chine, but she has passed many bar
riers, with her insidious propaganda,
in undermining the morale of soldiers
and civilians, especially the latter.
If Germany with her great army at
the peak of it's efficiency in 1914 was
halted by the Belgians, thrown back
by the French at the Marine, smashed
again in 1915 at Verdun and on the
Somme, and has been beaten consist
emily for the past eighteen months at
every point on the British and French
fronts and is being beaten even now
altho in the forward moyment, we
know and she must know that mill
tary victory in the end can NEVER
be hers.
When Germany a year ago, deter
mined on a ruthless submarine ware
fare, the general staff told their people
that the undersea boat was their only
salvation Was this not plain adj
mission that they never expeGg 4 mill
tary decision in their favor? What
must their feeling now after over a
year of their devilish work? The sub.
marines still menace and they are an
effective force, but they are not by
any means accomplishing their aims;
and long before the first year was over
Germany realized her futility on the
sea. Think what must be her realiz a.
tion at this very moment after the
first week of the fighting on the west
ern front and her losses Of over 500, 600
men-the flower of her army. Has she
again been forced to change her mind?
Does she imagine for a moment that
a military victory is even possible?

Let us look a little farther. We are
well informed that she is at present
coaling every battleship at Kiel.
That she is calling every marine
from the western front and replacing
them with Austrian troops That she
is taking all her naval guns back to
the Naval base and replacing. them
with Austrian artillary. What does
it mean? Does it mean that she is be-
ginning to realize that none of her
prognos tications are coming true?
In my mind it means just one thing
to me. Germany realizes that she
must take the gamblers last chance.
Her militarists. (who rule her des-
tines rer lie that they must stake all
on this last throw which means all
the power of their army, and their
army and their navy, and either win
or go down to oblivion and defeat.
Don't you realize my dear reader
that it means that you and I and all
of us here 'back home" must stand
in solid ranks. That we must STAND
UNDER THE FLAG in the second
line OF defense and cheer our noble
boys fighting in the first line for vic
tory and freedom? Must we not stand
shoulder to shoulder with our noble
allies and repeat with them all in UNI
ison 'THOU SHALT NOT PASS?
Germany's sole hope then is the mem
tai poison which she is diffusing thru
the civilian population. Ii she imposes
an indemnity Of 4 billion dollars on
poverty stricken Russia, and, insists
thay an indemnity of 25 billions shall
be exacted from France on 6 the day"
of reckoning what would be OUR
measure if we in America should think
of a Trotsky peace? Let US ask our
selves each day, haven't we the cour-
age Of the civilian population OF Ger

that we have not grown soft and white

who have gone before and have long
