IT WAS THEODORE ROOSEVELT WHO SAID 



WE FIGHT NOT ONLY TO PROTECT OURSELVES BUT TO BRING NEARER THE DAY 

 WHEN JUSTICE AND HONOR AND FAIR DEALING BETWEEN NATION AND NATION, 

 AND MAN AND MAN SHALL EXIST THROUGH ALL THE CONTINENTS. WE LOVE 

 LIFE, BUT THERE ARE THINGS WE LOVE EVEN MORE THAN LIFE, AND WE FEEL THAT- 

 WE ARE LOYAL TO ALL THAT IS HIGHEST IN AMERICA'S PAST, WHEN WE ACT ON THE 

 BELIEF THAT THOSE ONLY ARE FIT TO LIVE, WHO ARE NOT AFRAID TO DIE. 



CITIZEN SOLDIER No. 238, OF THE NATIONAL DRAFT ARMY, WRITES: 



WT1 HEY say, who have come back from Over There, that at night the troubled earth between the lines 

 * is carpeted with pain. They say that Death rides whistling in every wind, and that the very mists 

 are charged with awful torment. They say that of all things spent and squandered there young human 

 life is held least dear. It is not the pleasantest prospect for those of us who yet can feel upon our 

 lips the pressure of our mother's goodbye kiss. But, please God, our love of life is not so prized as 

 love of right. In this renaissance of our country's valor, we who will edge the wedge of her assault 

 make calm acceptance of its hazards. For us the steel-swept trench, the stiffening cold weariness, 

 hardship, worse. For you for whom we go, you millions safe at home what for you ? We shall need 

 food. We shall need care. We shall need clothes for our bodies and weapons for our hands. We 

 shall need terribly and without failure supplies and equipment in a stream that is constant and never 

 ending. From you who are our resource and reliance, who are the heart and hope of that humanity 

 for which we smite and strive, must come these things." 



The American foresters who are doing such valiant work in France deserve the hearty support of 

 their friends back home the members of the American Forestry Association and all others interested 

 in the subject of forestry. 



To these men, the members of the Forest Regiments, has been assigned the important task of 

 supplying for the American army and the fighting forces of the Allies the timber needed for a thousand 

 uses in construction work. BACK UP OUR FIGHTING FORESTERS!
