Remember.

When the war is over, no excuse will go. ' Either you were in it or you were not ' Either you shouldered your gun, served in the trenches or the navy, or the Young Men’s Christian association, the Red Cross or in some place where the door was opened, or else you did nothing. If you could not yet serve, you could send your boys with a Godspeed, as they marched out to the front. To hold them back stamped them as slackers. Either you strained your resources to buy Liberty bonis or you forgot your obligation to those who fought and died for your flag. Disqualification for, active service is no justification for forgetting the boys behind the guns who sacrificed all thought of gain and were willing to sacrifice their lives at their country’s calL The war will be fought ta the bitter end. The Hun will be crushed. Peace will come. The flag will fly and freedom will win. If you do your part, however small, you will share in the glory. If y<ju fall to do your little bit, nothing but remorse will be in store for you.—Leslie's.
