This war la not a nickel-In- the-plate-on-Sunday affair, nor a $6 for residents $3 for non-residents af fair, nor a sewing class twice a week affair. It's a war that demands every ounce of everyones' energy, every cent of everyone's surplus, every sec ond of everyones' available time. "Thinking of it in any other war is little less than stabbing in the back those men of our who are in the tranche in Lorraine, who are keeping the perilous vigil far out at sea. "Do your bit with bit meaning all, is Briton's war alogan. "America's should be, 'DO YOUR DAMNDEST.' " This is the wsy the men bi battle feel about the war.
