| Can it be that the American people
are growing Respondent? Are we
turning deafened ears to the appeals
of our nation to help the people OF
France? ..| ~ H..
Hundreds of people have allowed
their subscriptions to war orphans to
drop. Do you people realize that you
are taking food out of these chfldren's
mouths? If it were your child who
had lost all the sunshine in his life
until an American whom they almost
worship, sent them food, would you
have faith in this person, who, after
pledging to keep your little one for
one year, went back on his promise?
The ravished districts Of France love
the American flag as they do their
own. They have faith in that flag,
and they know that the American
people who stand back of that flag
are said to be the most loyal, patrio-
| tic people the world has ever known.
You who profess to be good Ameri-
cans, can you let those children of
|downtrodden France lose their faith
in America to such an extent that
they no longer love our country?
We are all working for a world de-
|mocracy. Can you expect one when
the coming generation of France will
have no faith in the American flag?
These children will be taught that
the Americans who took the pledge to
care for the children Of France, be-
cause they lost interest, deserted the
cause and left the children to starve.
Because you lose enthusiasm, you
stop paying your pledges to French
war orphans. Do you think YOU are
good Americans? You are not. True
loyal Americans do not lose their en-
thusiasm-they are always enthused.
Our boys did not have pleasant
time in France. They did not always
have even plenty to eat. But they
never quit the job Why? Because
they had promised Uncle Sam that
they would fight for him. And they
kept their promises.
What will our soldiers think of you
the people they love and trust, ii you
who stayed at home and enjoyed. the
popularity the war brought you, break
your promises?

American, with the red blood that is

true American, one who never goes
back on his promises-one that Uncle
Sam will be proud of.-Bernice
