You're a regular, red-blooded, true..-be American. You love your country. You;love that flappin,- crpping old flag. Your heart thumps hard when the troops tramp by. You're Loyal---100 per cent. You intend to---you want to---help win the war in a hurry. "Sacrifice? Sure," you've been thinking. "Just you wait till they really need it." Arid you've honestly thought you meant that too. But---look yourself in the eye, now, and search up and down inside your heart---did you mean it? Did you really mean "sacrifice"? Listen: You feel poor. This third Liberty Loan, the high prices, the Income Tax--- you've done your bit. You feel that you've given all you can spare. What? Then what did you mean? What's that you said about lov ing your country? What did you think the word "sacrifice" means? Surely you didn't mean, did you, to give only what you can spare? What about our boys who are giving their lives in the trenches? Are they giving only what they can spare? How about those mothers and little "kiddies" in the shell-wrecked towns of that war-swept hell:--hungry, ragged, sobbing, alone? Giving up their homes, their husbands, their fathers. While we, over here with our fun and our comforts, we hold up our heads and feel patriotic because we have given--what? Some loose bills off the top of our roll. "We've given all we can spare!" Come, come! Let's quit fooling ourselves. Let us learn what sacri fice means. Let us give more than we can spare--let us "give till the heart says st9p."
