M. Brown &Sons WALHALLA, S. C. Why Did Germany Deliberately Draw the United States Into the War? Because the German leaders believed that by adopting un restricted submarine warfare she could keep the necessary sup plies and equipment from reaching the Allies? If that could be done, she knew that pur effort would be unavailing? The submarine menace is yet the most dangerous menace America and the Allies have to meet? A successful submarine attack destroys sorely needed supplies and equipment. The Men and Women of America must understand that when they scend money on needless comforts and luxuries they arc wi hholding sorely needed labor and materials from the United States Government and are in effect doing precisely what Germany hoped to achieve by ruthless Submarine Warfare? That is why the War Savings Campaign is thc most im portant campaign before the people of the United States. Its failure would be ? dreadful calamity: its success a sure sign that behind our army and navy stands a resolute and united nation of one hundred million determined Americans.
