Our soldiers, returning win ask

Even if it were possible for US to ask,
it would be impossible for them to

And above all must the people OF

We of the United States must be not
only forward looking, but forward-go-

Conditions, some of which we seem
well-nigh unable to cope with, face US,
from world in ferment. 1t is no time
to become frightened or to lose ones

to be Pollyanna.
The conditions are there. They
must be met, faced, studied, and anal

of all. And it is a work that must bt
