THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA AS
SERTS ITSELF.

Is this the United States of Amer
lea? What a changed Such ex.
carnations are heard daily in every
corner of the country. They are
caused, for the most part, by the
striking changes in our political and
economic machinery-the mastering
and equipping Of millions of men,
raising of billions in extraordinary
taxes, government control of trans
portation and industry, repressive
legislation outrivaling the famous
alien and sedition laws.
But there is another change which
has come over US in the last fifteen
months, a change far less likely to be
observed, yet even more significant,
change in spirit A little more
than a year ago we were all bent
on our strictly personal business.
The great mass of our energy was
spent in selling goods, improving our
farms, building up professional
practice, carrying on scientific inves-
tigation, identifying our homes, ma
king friends. The war came. Now

longer is to serve our own interests
but those Of humanity.
1t is an entirely new atmosphere
in which we live; a real revolution
Of spirit has taken place. A job is
to be done for humanity and you
and | lay aside our most cherished
plans, our most important work and
go TO it. We are in earnest. We
are whole-hearted. We stop for no.
thing. Our property, our prospects,
our health, our lives are given I'M
hesitatingly. No one sneers at our
altruism nor laughs at our sacri-
fees. 1t is what is expected of US.
And why? Our country calls.
Through long, dim ages men have
arisen to strike and die at the cali
of king or country. This, today, is
the world-old call and something
more. Our summons is not to purely
national service but to a world SER
vice. We are moving as a nation,
not out of personal loyalty to king
or kaiser, not to extend our terri
tory or reap economic advantages,
not even to defend standards of ma
tional honor, but because a great
human principle is at stake. Our
country has called for, and is get
ting unselfsh personal service in an
unselfish national cause.
No consideration Of the present
day situation nor the problems
growing out of it can be adequate
if we do not appreciate this new
American spirit, America has been
put to the test and has proven her.

of money rabbers. There are ex-
ceptions, of course Comparatively
few are unwilling to forego personal
pleasure or the opportunity for per-
sonal profit for the sake of the pub
lie cause. But the spirit of the com
munity is against them, and in many
cases they find their surroundings
decidedly uncomfortable.
We can depend upon American
spirit. That is evident enough now.
We can depend upon it under far
more severe tests than it has yet
been put to. Privation, suffering,
loss will only intensity it. America,
the most fortunate of nations, will
strip herself bare, if necessary, and
go down to the grey depths Of mis-
