VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN
Great Enthusiasm Shown by the
Lunenburg Audience Listening
to the Speakers

On Friday evening a rally was ar.
ranged by Chairman c. w. Turner oil
the coming Victory Loan drive. The
hall was artistically decorated with
the various posters sulmounted by the
colors. The weather man started a
down pour carly in the evening which
kept many away who would otherwise
have conc, and those who stayed
away missed very entertaining and
instructive addresses which. fully re-
paid those who ventured to the hall.
The speakers were introduced by
Chairman Turner, the first one being
Rev. G. w. Douglas, who said the
audience might be representing quail
ity rather than quantity The great
appeal to our patriotism now was to
finish the job Some people start
in we'll but breaw down before the
finish, but when good thing was
begun we should stay till the work
was well done. The citizens showed
and should continue to show as high
morale as the soldier in the field
American people will maintain the
good spirit with which they have
begun and will finish well. MI. Doug
las illustrated his talk with several
pleasing stories.
A solo by Guy G. Pigeon came net
on the program, Mr. Pigeon playing
his own accompaniment.
Kyle T. Brown then said "The Am
crican people have reached the poino
where they must play trumps, the
cards that count. Two aspects or
bond selling appealed to him. He had
no sympathy with propaganda, which
tended to unsettle the minds of the
people; this is a business matter and
the practical issue should be left to
the people. We are asked to loan
money on the best security in the
world; the incumbrance is nation
wide. The interest is more thar
banks will give, and will increase in a
short time till it is above par Also
the patriotic aspect appealed to the
people. The government needed
money. No doubt there had been
some Encouragement, graft and bad
ly placed contracts, but mistakes
were inevitable. Let these things go;
the war is won; the cardinal princip-
ais. of liberty are safe for all time.
The German drive was headed our
way, and America stepped in at exact
ly the right moment to decide the
conflict. Our influence should all be
used in the right direction and if all
cannot buy bonds themselves they can
use their influence to help o.lers to
lido So"
Guy C. Pigeon then sang "Come
Across" and Mr.. Turner INTRODUCED
Mr.. Melvin G. Morse of Hardwick,
|who had been six months near the.
front lines in France, who was badly
|gassed and forced to return home.

addresses showed. There is no ques.
ton but that we will go over the
top in this drive as in the four before
it. His slogan was "Onc Hundred
per cent Americans" and they were
not Of those who would begin the
work and not carry oyer. Those who
stayed at home had as important
work to do as those who went across
if it had not been for them the boys
would have suffered far more than
could be told with hunger, and want
Of aid and comforts of all kinds, and
those who did their bit were in the
same class as those who went across
to make this country safe and a de-
cent world for all time. Do the work
here as 100 per cent Americans, not
giving excuses of Inconvenience and
being unable to help out in this way.
When he thought of the terrible
things the boys over there we're I'M
dcrgoing, marching literally knee
deep in mud, sleeping in the mud and
eating whatever rations they could
secure without murmur, when he
received their dying messages, heard
them say they were glad to die for
their country, when he saw them
wounded and dying from the terrible
gas attacks, it made him just common
mad to hear man say he could not
sacrifice his comfort or inconvenience
himself to buy bonds. Such man
isn't worthy the name of an American
citizen. If you could see the devas-
tated homes, the destitute women
and children you would appreciate the
struggle we were up against Honor
pointed straight to America; our
boye were sent over to make the
world an ideal place for future gen
erations. Ali the countries fought
and sacrificed, cities torn up, no
young men seen about the homes, all
old men or boys, OF women working
in the fields and factories showed the
love of the people of France for
their country. This little town sent
33 men into service; if we had con-
tributed as France did, there would
have been four hundred men sent and
in place of the one who made the
supreme sacrifice there would have
been 10 gold stars on our service flag.
Soldiers of England said they and
the French soldiers would fight till
the last foot Of ground and the last
man was taken before they would
give up the struggle. Germany pre-
pared for this struggle not only in
arms and munitions, but in the minds
and hears of her people for many
years. We are living in the greatest
time of the worlds history. Five
years ago these issues did not seem
possible. We read and studied as boys
of the conquests of Alexander, On
Caesar and of our own wars of the
of 1912, of the Civil war
and wished we might have lived in
these stirring times with no thought
that we should ever get beyond our
existence; there would be
no excitement in our lives; but all this
time forces were working to make
the greatest issues and this the most

important time since Christ hung or
the cross and we are participating in
them. We look back to our forefath-
ers with pride; they were 100 per cent
Americans in the War of the Rcvolu-
ton, and the after period of recon-
struction and we honor them for it

in the Civil war; thy proved themscl-
YES 100 per cent Americans. Fifty
of rs years hence our descendants are
going to look back at the part we
played in the world-war and the re-
construction period; will they be
proud of us? Will they call us 100
per cent Americans? 1t is all up to US !:
, Our opportunities are greater; our
soldier boys have done their part,
proving to the Allies and the enemy
that Americans are no towards and
are able. to fight. 1t is great res
possibility to be worthy of the cx-
ample which has been set for us; to
be worthy of the time in which we
live; to be 100 per cent Americans.
We must do our duty at our home
now. The period Of reconstruction is
with us and is more difficult than The
war itself. All nations arc looking to
America to finish up the job she has
begun. We must make the world
safe. War is expensive; the NUM-
tons, equipments, ships, aeroplancs,
the great shells, the balragcs arc all
costly; moro SO than we can comprc-
hcnd. America had to get onto the
job and had to have money to meet
he responses. We must pay our bills
and is there anyone who wants
to repudiate them? No! We must
won't do the work. We must prove
worthy of the boys who were so Won
derful and of their high ideals which
made them go unafraid to the end.
If you had been among them you
would have grown to love them, as
those did who were with them. There
are boys over there yet who arc
wounded and must be cared for and
brought home. Will you turn them
down or help them? Will you allow
them to go hungry over there? They
should have the best possible of every
thing; nothing is too good for them
Will you respect yourself in the
years to come if you are not a 100
per cent American? Will you prove
yourself worthy of the SO men you
sent to service? You will go over tho
top without fail and prove yourselves
100 per cent Americans in your coun-
tly's need.
