FM \ - k- - 1 ~1 * The battle still rages with undiminislied intensity, al though the point of attack has shitted from the A mien? sector. It is the greatest battle^ -ever fought in ali the fowtfer mili tary history of^fctte world. . Its battle line, exceeds ali others. The mrmber engaged on both sides, the dead and wounded, ^stagger our quit t imaginations, German strategy is willing to purchase victory at the highest price in bloodVver paid before for world dominion. They have resolved on nothing less than a fight to the finish. This means the annihilation of the millions of French ami British soldiers who are opposed to German armies. These h^en facing Hindenburg know that liis purpose is to confront them with certain death if they stand up before the concentration of men he brings before them; To the everlasting glory of freemen they have in number less cases elected to die to the last man Before they would yield. The jiien in the German army must know that they are to he ground up until' the ie- maining German soldiers ran advance over a million dead Allied soldiers. Marshall Haig lias in a recent ojder told hi> men that their backs are against their own firesides. We stand v " •••• • • ■ appalled fit the nuimier of Ger man and Allied lives that-must /die- before this contest'.will cease. Yet. \se share the con viction of those-...brave heroes who have died in their Trench.es.

Before their influence should extend to our free in stitutions, and tlieir leprous hands he laid on our women and. children we would wil- liugly take the places of those who falL in the trenches and would withhold nothing that would bring final victory.

It,is now or never with' every reader ,of this newspaper. Nothing that any of us did before the war will really count. Noth ing that we may do when tho war is over will fix-our place. As we do our duty now, or as we play the part of cowards, so are We iu the eyes of our country, in the eyes of our own self-respect and In the eyes of our children. Posterity wil I not ask but one ques tion: Viewing 1 this war in its true and. overpowering perspective, future generations will search our. records- only to ascertain whether we did our full part in tho days when the whole world was iu flames.
