HEAR, O ISRAEL!

ssssssssesssssssesssssse DO % &c
Give me Song for Battle, Lord,
Let me raise my voice on high;
The hour draws near for Thy unsheathed sword;
We wait for the batte-cry.
Why ask Me for battle song?
Go, open the Book of the Law,
Read, and proclaim to the gathering throng
The Word that there we saw.
Nov, while the world is reeling on .aa
In the footsteps of leaders blind,
TO your tents, 0 Israel! Night is gone.
Haste, look We not behind
i am weary of vain oblations,
A stencil is your idle praise;
Sound the assembly Number your men,
Repair We the Kings Highways.
Here is the Word unfailing
They shall work, who would also eat
Let men prove their titles to My land
Before Ny judgment seat
mo more shall the wolves devour Ny lambs
And false shepherds feed on Nv flock:
HeW down the idols; cast out the shams.
Stand fast by the Living Rock
Down through the ages Ny prophets have told
OF the Day now nigh at hard;
be TINS your battle cry Faint not be bold
GO IN AND POSSESS THE LAND"

Civilians Urged
To Do Duty On
Home Front, 1915

The following statement was is
sued jointly today by James For
restal, secretary of the navy, Rob-
ert P. Patterson, under secretary OF
war, and j. A. Krug, chair, War
Production Board:
THE holiday season finds our
soldiers, sailors, marines and fly
ers engaged in the fiercest fighting
of the war. The heaviest strain in
history now faces the workers in
American war factories. It will take
days and weeks of effort to replace
the equipment that is bling used up
and destroyed in a few hours Of the
present fighting. We must increase
the vast quantities of ammunition,
weapons, and equipment we have
been sending overseas, and we must
do it at once. The more fire power
we are able to throw at the Nazis
and Japs the less will be the cost
to Us in blood and American lives.
Our fighting me nhave a right
to expect that all of us-in factor
les and offices as well-will be on
the job New Years day and every
working day until victory is won.
We must not fail them"
