Mil 0 h " r 1 111 I .-( J Mfl Their and Ours .1 The ' , Victory Liberty Loan is cl call to finish this work Respond from your heart TO great purpose which lay back of the war was far too vast a task for any one body of men to put through to a finish. Our soldiers have done are doing their part. God knows we never wanted them to do more. But what of us? Winning the war was the in itial step toward a world peace and prosperity of which hitherto we had never dared to dream. But it was only a step. The work of the most glori ous armies of all history placed us on the threshold of an open door. A new world of unlimited possibilities lies beyond. They could not bring it to us. They could only show it to us, and its vast worth and give their lives to do it, if that were needed. It is our task to finish this work. They showed us the way and passed on perhaps to new worlds to conquer. And whether we will or not, the solemn obliga tion to finish their work has fallen upon us. " If ye break faith with us who die, . We shall not sleep though poppies bloom In Flanders fields." Your patriotism and mine waa not buried in those graves in Flanders fields. There is still work to do for our country, for ourselves, for our children. Else the war will have failed in its purpose and millions of young lives will have gone out on a vain quest.
