The Hour of Sacrifice. 
PREMIUM LIST 
Our country is involved in a 
gigantic and terrible war. We are 
fighting a government that has de- 
liberately and ruthlessly broken 
every law of nations of man, of 
humanity and of decency. 
We are in the war and in to 
stay to the very end. When peace 
is declared it will be an American 
peace dictated by an American 
president and conform to Amer- 
ican ideals of right and justice. 
Over a million of our boys are 
now on their way to France and 
other millions will follow. Re- 
member we are not suggesting that 
these boys go they are now on 
their way. 
They are offering their lives; 
what are we doing? The demand 
of the hour is sacrifice. We do no- 
thing worth while unless it costs us 
something, something of pleasure, 
something of comfort, of safety. 
No one of us but can sacrifice some- 
thing. Each must answer what it 
is he can do but let no one say 
there is nothing. Duty calls. 
Shall we hide within the walls of 
ease and comfort and selfishness or 
shall w r e like our soldier boys when 
their call comes go forward nor 
heed the cost? 
There’s a Long-, Long- Trail. 
There’s a long, long trail a-wind- 
inf 
Into No-Man’s Land in France, 
Where the shrapnel shells are 
bursting, 
But we must advance. 
There’ll be lots of drills and hik- 
ing 
Until our dreams all come true. 
But we’re going to show the Kaiser 
How the Sammy boys come 
through.
