Show THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE HUT TO WIN THIS AVAR. About the only danger that could threaten the success of our arms In the war upon which this country is launched would be a minimizing of the importance of the work before us. After almost three years of war, after pouring out blood and treasure until nearly bankrupt in both, the allied al-lied nations yet seem almost as far from victory as at the beginning. Their lenders admit the terrible destruction wrought by the submarines, and frankly rejoice that this country hns elected to cast its lot with them, practically admitting thnt without our aid victory would still be far in the future. Now that the. nation is committed to the frny it should be its single nim to carry the fight to a successful issue. What the allies need is material ma-terial assistance money, food and men. These wc must furnish to the. limit of our resources. We must put our money into their coffers. Wc must dispatch to their shores every pound of food not absolutely needed to sustain life here. Wc must send to France a tremendous army that, added to those of the allies, will by its sheer weight of numbers crush out all opposition. Let our part in the war be short, sharp and decisive. Wo must prove ourselves Americans, and not slackers. |
