THE PUBLIC’S DUTY TO THE SOL DIER BOYS Ere long, far out on the hat- tie fields of France, will float the.flag of this great republic, borne by her own brave hoys ; who in the bloom of their young maiihgod offrr their liyes solely that the world may bo brought from under the barbarous Prus sian autocracy. The clarion call of otrr-grand and far-sight ed President h$s rung adown the corridors of the whole na tion, fOr the whole resources theereof, that a war, wliich.mav be termed a crusade of mercy may he prosecuted to a finish, in order that never again can come such qt struggle. What means the President by the whole resources of the whole nation? D^es lie mean only that these young men sliaJl he so con sidered?. Nay? Woodrow Wil son’s sentences caver all the ground almost as clearly as those we read in holy writ. Each soldier is a unit and not to he despised, but we too, who are too old or othewise unfit or unabta-to go can do our part. It is our part to do our duty to our country,- to our President, to ourselves, and last hut not least to oiir soldiers in France and at home,. “Sure they must tight, if they should win,” and shall be fed and clothed, quar tered and billeted comfortably.
