What they find in reality and how next to Impossible It is made for them to return to tbeir orwn country is thus told in the Hollander's wdrds : No Retnrn Pass Given.

I am more convinced- every day," nays Col. F. K. Fries, State Director of War.Sav Logs, "feat before we get anywhere in winning fee war or even in rais ing the amount of money necessary to finance the war that we most get together as a people with but on* motive. No one man or group of men has ever been saved b y a Nation. Wherever a country's fate has been in jeopardy, it has taken the'.exer tions of all the people to save that country. Rudyard Kipling gave us the secret of winning waft and saving -Rations when he sajd: 'It aint the individual, Nor the Army as a whole, But the everlastjn" team work Oi every bloomin' soul.' " "I cannot believe feat we are yet together/* fsays Colonel Fries, "or. .That" the Government is askhig of uf and what it considers necessary t*. have to win fee war. It is now ca1' ng not only for our nw^ney.- -feat \ lend it tmd have it returned- to us ! five years wife interest, ? but for our services. Wars are not fought wife money bQt wife goods and' services, rhe Government's first call to the oeople is to uspful employment. There s work for everybody, and not until -wery idle man and woman become? engaged in the business of vrinning he war, can we be sure that we will win. Its aeeond call Is for goods or materials. If our pebple do not econ omize and do without fee tiings which fee country must have for war pur poses, there is no other way but to conscript them. V "It is no longer a question or what we individually can afford to spend or would like to have. The question is, can the Nation afford to have us spend. What Lord Kitchener skid to the people of England a few yean ago is a vital message to America to day. 'Either the civilian population ?nost go short of many things to >yhfcx? it is accustomed in tames of peace or' our armies mtfst go short of munitions and other things incBspen -able to them,' and as our own msi Icnt has requested: "Let every man and every woman assume the duty of -areful, provident use and expendi ture as a public duty, as a" dictate of patriotism which no one can now ex oeci ever to be excused or^forgiven for ignoring.'
