The Marchers
*
TO ALL AMERICANS:
"We are coming. Father Abraham,
two hundred thonaand strong."
How that patriotic err, borne on the
Up> of aong, Inspired the hearta and
nerved the arms of many thouaanda
more, a half century ago!
And when the Great War aummoned
ten Haas that quota of thla natlon'a
bent manhood three tbouaand mile*
across the seaa, bow lnatontly the cry
rang out, "We're coming, two mllllou
strong."
Two million strcniR! The beat and
bravest; tbo«e fitted to do tbe na-
* tton'a hardest work; the flower- of our
youth, the brain*, the brawn, the man-
ly beauty. No other troopa in Europe
were pronounced finer physical specl-
mena, and none surpassed them in In-
telligence, enthusiasm and morale.
They went to flnl*h the biggest piece
of military work ever attempted by
mankind.
Two hundred thousand strong!
That la a goodly quota of perfect man-
hood. See them march past. Ten
thousand men will take an hour in
paaalng; so multiply tbe time and in
your Imagination see the parade of the
nation's pride.
Two hundred thousand weak! That
Is a different trtory. The sight Is far
from an Inspiring one. It so ilepresaea
that at tbe thought you turn away and
try to think of something pleasant and
diverting.
Two hundred thousand sick! Let us
not think of them. They are a govern-
mental responsibility.
Two hundred tlioumnd suffering!
And what are you, for whom they have
given their health, doing about them?
Two hundred thousand! I*et them
march past How few of them can
march today! Thin ami emaciated
they stagger- those who no blithely
sped away In 1917 to their great inis-
trenches
exposure. In the front
thee nesrtng the end of their hard
Journey—the hoys without hope of re-
covery. Back of them march many
thousands of those who have a fight-
ing chance for life— Hinging to the
faint hope that still is their*.
, Then follow 30,000 wild-eyed. sad.
pitiful paraders, the shell shocked and
mentally affected. Much can be done
for them. Nothing mspoade more
promptly to tbe right methods and
treatment, and nothing requires such
expert bundling aa thla form of af-
fliction They need greet Institutions,
splendid hospitals and the be*t mental
experts. You csn aee that they have
them.
Behind them limp the thousands of
those who go on crutche*. Poor shst-
tered bodies placed out and plastered
up and bound to give their owners no
reprieve from pain until they finally
bid them adieu. These thonaand* of
young men are already old In nuffer-
tng; can you glance at them coldly
now that you aee them on parade?
They are not merely tbe wards of the
nation. They ere the ghosts that will
rise to confront your aouls, at tbe end,
If you Ignore them now.
And at the end of the procession
come the long line of ambulancea! The
brave young fellows who marched
away with elastic step and high spirit
will never march agaia, Many of them
would far rather sleep under the white
croase* overseas, but they must go on
suffering to tbe cad. Surely they lack
nothing? Do you bellvee that? Vlalt
them, find out their need* and supply
them ooroforta. That procession will
never end until, for each sufferer, tbe
"Largo" sounds softly.
If you can watch such a proceaaion
Map." If you ess let ge the vision
of sarh a ad parade you are not the
rltisen* you showed yourselves in IttlT
when you gsvs both your hearts and
your dearly beloved to the great cause.
You are not Insensible; you are Just
th&ugbtle**. diverted by many little
thing*. Ignorant of the facts, and Heav-
en forbid your ignoramw.
Tbe prtM-e*aloa has passed, end there
are two thing* you can dot ahould do,
MI7HT do. <k> individually and minis-
ter to tboee in boepttnls and Institu-
tions. Or atand behind the work of the
Bed Crass, which la the one official
agency outside the government dis-
charging the vaat work of miniate ring
to the ex-eervtee man in home and In
boapital: bringing him comfort and
relief, aiding him to aecure hla right-
ful compensation. It Is today tbe
champion, the comforter, and the best
friend of that sad procession.

High prices mean cheap dollars. Cheap dollars
induce speculation. Speculation is fine so long as
prices soar—but look out for the DROP.
Here is our advice in times like these: Avoid
debt, for the debtor may have to pay back these
cheap dollars with dear ones. Avoid speculation.
Above all, SAVE, now while money is plentiful
and prices are soaring. The cheap dollars of the
present will be more valuable some day. Grab
them now and hold onto them. It is the chance of
a lifetime to save. Use our Bank as a depository.
Every dollar entrusted to us will be carefully safe-
guarded.
