STOP, LOOK, AND LISTEN.
Stop ! Recall how the brave Rus
sian amies were defeated for lack
of guns, munitions, and supplies.
The German's laughed at the Rus
sian government's failure to stand
by its fighting men. Let them
have no such mirth at our expense

With the recent loans of nearlv
$lb,UUU,000 to Greece and $11,000
000 to Belgium the aggregate loans
made by the United States to our
lilies now amounts to practically
$0,000,000,000.
ALIENS
There are enemy aliens and
there are native aliens. The Amer
ican who does not do his part to
wards winning the war, who nei
ther fights nor works nor lends
for victory is as much an alien to
America's cause as the rankest
Prussian interned in this country.
This is a war of peoples as well
as of nations, and each individual
lias a place and a duty.
OUR EXPORTATION OF
Sixty four million dollars have
been melted into bullions the Unit
ed States treasury, most of which
has been exported to India. Fifty
eight million dollars of silver cer
tificates have Been withdrawn
from circulation and destroyed
as the silver on which thev have
our money, so that it can arm, e
and maintain our fij
mg men at the very highest point
of efficiency!
Look! at the war map and see
what absolute devotion of a nation
jresourses to military purposes
has accomplished by the enemy!
Increase production and lend mon
ey to the United States, sc that
our support of our fighting force
will equal if not surpass that of
Germany! It is better to spend
our money that way than in pay
ing Germany's war bills.
Listen! to the call of duty and
patriotism, and economize! Do
your utmost in every way to win
the war by increased production,
by decreased consumption, and by
lending to the governme. t. Let
nonessentals go; make sacrifices!
How little and inconsequent they
are compared with the great pur
pose they help attain! How well
