MUST BACK THE GOVERNMENT WITH ALL OUR STRENGTH Few people, Indeed, in this country now fall to reallte that we aro fight- i lng a brutal, relentless enemy. The Indictment against the Hun grows stronger- every day. Ho Is absolutely devoid of pity or chivalry. An Amer- lean correspondent reports a conver- . . . ... satlon with a crippled British officer. who. after a long stay In German prison' pens, had been exchanged. The officer told of men so feeble from lack of food and bad conditions i as to be able scarcely to stand being forced to work at the point of a bayo- net until they dropped from sheer weakness; of badly set gun-fractured ( armB and legs; of Boldlers bhried to the accompaniment of the Jeers of . .... ' of the badly wounded without relief or dressings, food or water; of wounded prisoners marched to exhaustion and then shot down like dogs when they no longer could walk; or prisoners put Into camps where typhus raged- This Is the kind of enemy we are ; fighting, and this Is why all of us 1 must get down and put every bit of our strength back of the Government. Were finished?" That Is a big point For one thing, we must buy only those in life, and unless you have as much things necessary to maintain ourselves education you can get you are going . , A. . off before you are finished." in the most efficient condition. That ' , After Dr. Gilbert had given his ad will gve the Government more labor dresS Supt R L K,rk presented tho and materials for war purposes. And cjass an,i the diplomas were presented then with our Bavlngs we must buy by Chairman of the school board B. War Savings Stamps. That will give the Government current funds with which to use labor and materials in the successful prosecution of the war. We must do as President Wilson asks us to do in his message pledge our- selves on or before June 28 to save , lt . x . , , constantly and to buy regularly Gov - ernment securities. We shall then be doing our part WHAT WILL WIN THE WAR7 Tho New York Tribune recently n. in .t. . . . said editorially that "Victory is a quostlon ot means," and then it went on to list the means. These are: First, the raw materials. Second, the plantB where raw mate- t-i . t . . ... rials are converted by Industrial proc esses Into sinews of war. Third, the labor to act upon tho raw materials. Fourth, tho fichtlne man nowpr In uniform. Fifth, transportation. Labor and materials, in other words, are what are necessary to win the war. What, then, is the duty of all of us? m. i . ... Obviously what we must do is to pro-' v duce all that is possible and consume as llttlo as necessary and give tho Government our utmost financial sup- port . If; we. follow this creed, we shall lcavofyr the Government more labor and materials for strictly war pur. poso's and w shall accumulate savings 1 for Investment In War Savins Sumps Thus wo shall help both tho Govern ment and ourselves. ARTILLERY TO BE MOTORIZED Motorltatlon ot (told artillery will bo carried to a greater extent In tho American Army than In any other army engaged In tho war. Not only ,i"5l a far greater amount of motor euulpmcnt bo provided In proportion to lho BtrenBth ot tho Ann)., but It bo used for work where armies now , tho HeW ,ipond solely upon horso power and man power. The Ordnance. Department hns sue coeded In developing such types of trnctors that csciusivo of Uio heaviest field artlllory mounted on railroad car rlages all American artillery will bo motorized, with the exception of soma of tho 3-Inch-gun batteries. Tho prob lem of motorltatlon of field artillery Is a difficult one, which explains why is has not been carried to a greater extent than has been tho case with tho armies that have been fighting in Europe for tho laBt threo years. The possible output of tractors for tho transport ot field artillery In tho United States is practically unlimited. whereas tho supply of horses Is at present limited and la becoming more so each month.
