We can get enough to eat, and coal and clothes and we ought to be grateful, especially when we think of the boys in the trenches. When they Zet leave and come home they are like wild school boys. “We are all greatly delighted that the states have come in to help us crush the intolerable military domin- ance of Germany. “Well, we have had enough of the war, but_will:go on to the end, hbw- ever long, to secure a peace that going to last. And as we welcome America into the fight and feel that théy, with us, will realize the neces- sity of making the sacrifices that fu- ture generations may live in peace and harmony, we feel that we shall have 2 Jong and bitter struggle vet. “We are sending every fit man who can be sparpd, and shall have to send many more in the future. I saw some fine specimens of American soldiers and sailors in London a short time ago. I am sure they will give a good ac- count of themselves when they get in- to_the fizhting line. Throughout the letter there is =a grim determination to hold out at whatever cost and the feeling that dur- ing 1018, with the heavy help that America. will be able to bring to the allies, the Germans will be driven back so that New Year's, 1919, will be 8,827 of world-wide :peace ‘and fe- ctng. 2 GOODYEAR WAR RALLY. - Rev.
