i They say, who have come back from Over There, that at night the troubled earth between the lines is carpeted with pain. They say that , Death rides whistling in every wind, i and that the very mists are charged with awful torment. They say that of all things spent and squandered there, young human life is held least; 1 dear. It is not the pleasantest pros- ‘ pect for those of us who yet can feel j upon our lips the pressure of our '.mothers’ goodbye kiss. * * * But, please God, our life is not so prized jas love of right. In this renaissance ! of our country’s valor, we who will edge' the wedge of her assault upon calm acceptance of its hazards. For us the steel-swept trench, the stiffening cold —weariness, hardship, worse. For you for whom we go, you millions safe at home —what for you? * ♦ * We shall need clothes for our bodies and weapons for our hands. We shall need terribly and without failure supplies and equipment in a stream that is constant and never-ending. From you whom are our resource and reliance, who are the heart and hope of the community fbr which we smite and strive, must come these things. Buy your country’s bonds.

They are today the safest possible investment in the world. ♦ * * Buy your country’s bonds. ’Buy them, as the mainspring of our holy endeavor.
