Maj.-Gen, William Brancker ‘of the British air service believes the allied air drive ON TO will start right here in the United States. A few months before the first cable message traveled the waters of the sea few there were who believed it possible. Now we have come to consider the sending of a ee og a thing as ordinary as mailing a ee Bw e transatlantic flight can be made. It will be made, having been made by one airplane there isn’t a reason on th why hundreds and thousands of airplanes canot dupli- the feat. The question is, WHEN? If it so happens it is made this August, what more fitting celebration of cable's anniversary could be staged? Now is the time for garden patriots to come to the defense of their country by sowing a fall maturing crop of vegetables in those tdle rows. lis Mother “I wish,” wrote a boy “over there” to a pal still in the S.

Tell Tm al! right—and make her believe it!” é : Not a few of our wonderful fighters standing there in bomb and bayonet line are worrying more about the rs they have left behind them than about the boches in tof them. And, too, many of these mothers ARE hiding while writing “smiling letters” to their sons. - It would be mighty fine and of incalculable assistance raging this war to lessen the soldier son’s worry and dry oldier mother’s tears.

That to secure these rights those: governments of the people, for the people and by the people, have banded together in one cause and with one purpose against that govern- ment which seeks to overthrow liberty thruout the world and to crush democracy beneath the cruel heel of the autocracy of might. For long and many years his power of military might and inhuman greed threatened the peace of the world and the freedom of all peoples, but still we were patient and hoped that the light of justice and honor might break thru the cloak of mili- tarism into the hearts of the German people and that reason might come to the German government. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinced a design to reduce all other nations and peoples under absolute despot- ism, it became our right, it became our duty, to fight that ruler, that government, that people, with all of our resources of men and money, food and bullets. The history of the present kaiser of Germany is a history of injuries and usurpations, all having, in direct object, the establishment of an absolute tyranny over all people and all nations. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has committed outrageous American citizens upon the high seas. He has wilfully and needlessly murdered Ameri- can women and children. He has tortured and slain prisoners of war. He has violated every known law of war. He has violated every international law which stood in his course of brutalized warfare. He has murdered non-combatants, even including little babies. He has made bonfires and heaps of ruins out of churches and hospitals. He has sunk hospital ships. He has made war upon Red Cross workers. He has fomented plots against the United States while this country was at peace with Germany. He has hired destructionists to destroy life and property in the United States and in every other coun- try which resisted his power lust. He has committed unforgivable crimes against the female population of conquered territory. He has torn up treaties and scorned the rights of humanity. He has plunged the world into this war, and by so doing, has become the arch-murderer of all time and the slayer of more human beings than all other mur- repeated crimes against derers of all the world within the last several hundred years, We, therefore, the people of the United States of America, on this Fourth of July, do solemnly publish and declare, that the United States will exert its last ounce of strength, will give its last man, will spend its last dollar, and will fight to the last day of our exist- ence as a free nation, to the end that our foe, the enemy of humanity, justice and liberty, may be de- feated; that the final victory may be so complete, so decisive that never again will German autocracy and militarism threaten the peace of the world nor the liberty of the inhabitants thereof. And for the sup- port of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other, that we will Joan of our savings for War Savings Stamps and Liberty Loans, that we will give of our money for war taxes without complaint, that we will support with our dollars and our time Red Cross and all other war charities, that we will produce and conserve food as requested by the food adminis- tration, that we will not seek one penny of excess profits during the period of war, that we who are able will go “over there” to the trenches of our allies, that we will utter no word which will interfere with our country’s war aim, and that we will not fail to utter such words as will keep the people’s fighting spirit staunch and true and firm.
