This is the rallying call sent out to
service men of Philadelphia today by
the Moore service mems committee in
General Orders No. 2. issued from gen
cral headquarters at Broad and Chest
nut streets.
The order is signed by Captain +.
John Prosper. chairman Of the service
mems committee. 1t follows:
"On the Goth of August and on the
Cd Of September. through the raids
which We made on the enemy's front
line and support trenches, We learned
just how strong we we're and how in
vinciblr was our cause, for we are
right and right is might;
Don't Like Open Fight
Tomorrow morning We go over the
top at : II. M. the third and last
time before the big drive on September
10. This time our objective is their
last trench and then We will get them
running in thc open.
"They don't like an open fight They
brpfer Fifth ward tactics. Open fight
ing is the kind Of scrapping we like.
Remember what We did to the boche
when We got them in the open. Re
member how they yelled 'kamerad.'
Cur artillery fire Of truth has had
whitening effect on the ranks of the
enemy. Our disclosure shells have
burst right in their midst. Their
'barbed wire ENGAGEMENTS such as as
SCISSORS lists that blew away from
the polling places and assessors and
registrars that did not sit, all these
have been laid low by our tanks of
popular public opinion.
Let the same spirit that took you
along from Chateau Thierry up through
the Argonne and on to the Rhine carry
you through the Ware contractor
trenches and then when We get them
in the open let us show them no mercy
until we have taken our own City
Hall, their stronghold. This last battle
takes place on September 10. They
know it and they fear. We don't fear
it.
Lest We Forget
Remember the battle of the Fifth
ward.
Remember the Ware controlled draft
boards.
Remember how the Ware syndi-
cate voted in Harrisburg for the 500
bonus to Pennsylvania soldiers. Wis
consin service men just received their
bonus. We received the privilege of
parading.
Remember the Ware Smith recep-
ton committee that did not meet you
when you arrived in Philadelphia.
