The war will certainly not he won through one hundred million patriots merely voicing sentiments. We can’t {weakén the Hindenburg line merely by weakening our voices. Instead of merely hoping that the kaiser gets what he deserves, buy at j least a thrift stamp and enable the | government to buy a gallon of gaso- line that will furnish power for a motor truck in France.

When you read of the gallant stand | the Americans ‘are making in France, ! don’t think you have done your duty by saying, “God bless the brave boys.” | It is an excellent sentiment, but if | instead you were to invest in five | thrift stamps the government could purchase a pair of khaki breeches for ‘one of the brave boys.
