ONE SOLEMN PURPOSE
We hold up this clarion appeal for loyal action before the men be
tween the ages of 18 and 45 who are to' register for military service on
aeptember 12th. They are the words of President Wilson and embodied
In his registration proclamation:
“We solemnly purpose a decisive victory of arms and deliberately to
devote the larger part of the military man power of the nation. * * * *
It is the call to duty to which every true man in the country will respond-
with pride and with the consciousness that in doing so he plays his part
in vindication of a great cause at whose summons every true heart offers
Its supreme service.”

NOT WHOLE ARMY.
A Yankee “doughboy” in the .Phil
ippine insurrection was knocked out
by a bullet in the leg.
As he lay there helpless, unable to
drag himself to a place of safety, two
more bullets whisked up and imbed
ded themselves in other parts of his
body. At the third hit he raised him
self painfully and, shaking his fist.
'n the direction of the Moros, shouted:
“Shoot some one else, you blood
thirsty murderers. I’m not the whole
American army!”
