LUND Save America First School Days Every reader knows where our sympathy lies in this war. But there are facte the public should know and the big preu will not publish them. Great Britain haa 18,000,000,000 tuck-e- d tway in this country. Let them first use that. And she still has her aristocracy of wealth idling and squandering millions. Let her first conscript that wealth. It haa been established and proven that a number of very wealthy men maneuvered us into the first war, solely for profit. If these capitalists are trying to get the country into war again solely for profit,then it is time Uncle Sam set up some more stone walls and a few more firing squads. Millions of men and billions of money for a war for Liberation and Liberty, but not a dollar for a war wholely for profits Money by the millions and billions is being thrown in all directions. But there are women and children shivering in their needed many small business places slowly unking into failure for lack of a little money. Save England if it is possible, but save America first.
