NEW YEAR'S
RESOLUTIONS
1918
I will bear ever in mind that the winning of the war
is the first consideration of every loyal American, and
to do all that I can in every way and at every oppor
tunity, to assist in accomplishing this is my duty.

ahead of my personal affairs, and make practical
-patriotism the standard by which all my actions shall
be measured and governed.
I will faithfully do my" part toward conserving
" foodstuffs, using substitutes wherever possible for
such as are needed to maintain our soldiers and those
of the allies at the front, and to soften as far as pos
sible the hardships and suffering from food shortage
among the civilian population of those countries which
have borne the brunt of the war for the world's
salvation.
I will give cheerfully of my means to aid in caring
for the wounded, the sick and the destitute made such
in fighting my battles against an autocracy that would
enslave me.
I will devote every dollar possible to upholding the
hands of my government in carrying on the war
against autocracy, Prussianism and Militarism, until
all are destroyed.
I will ever remember that this is a war for the
world's existence, for humanity against enslavement,
for civilization against barbarianism, for the Golden
Rule pronounced by the Saviour, against the doctrine
that "might makes right," upheld by the kaiser.
I will keep ever in mind that millions of the best of
my country's youth are offering their lives as a
sacrifice upon the altar of Liberty, and that all that I
.have to give, to support and sustain them, I pledgt
freely and unrestrainedly.
It is my war.
