and not including above
$10,000 subscribed by the Fort

time of need and are well able
to do so by reason of the high
prices which they obtain for

America's future, with a central
love theme of engrossing power.
The blood curdles with hate
when we see our country being
attacked for no reason other than
selfish ambition; then pride thins
the blood and sends it gushing
through the veins as we see the
lovers kiss good-bye and the hero
leads his army forth to face the
giant shells of steel, which are
to be hurled at them by the
Kaiser's 42 centimetre guns.
As we see the most powerful
of all guns sending forth these
giant explosive shells, and watch
them bursting in th midst of our
men, the nerves tingle to the
tips of the fingers. And when
we see an American soldier, with
nerve of steel, seize our fallen
Hag and carry it forward to the
Kaiser's lines, we shout with
pride that we are born of a race 1
