There are two reasons for this story—romantic and
inspirational. It concerns two brothers in the armed ser-
vices of their country—two loyal American lads who are
following in their father's footsteps.

the men that you and I know are
working just as hard tonight, to-
ward the same victorious goal—that
free men shall walk the earth un-
molested, unhampered, unharried.
"You'll have to fight this year--
fight harder than you ever have.
You'll have to see more people-
haVe to stay up later—you'll
have to toil more, sweat more, and
even cry more. But your gains will
; be just that much more valuable---
;you'll be doing it the hard-earned
way.
"It takes something like this to
make us realize that anything worth
living for is worth dying for, that
Democracy, and the American Way
of Life, is worth the concentrated
effort of every American.
"You haven't the aid of those men
who already have gone on, but you
have got their spirit, their enthusi-
asm, and their detemination. You've
got their job, and your job, and
humanity's job, to do. Don't re-
linquish it—it's got to be lived up
to—for them and for us.
"Good luck and God-speed,

The publishing house of Harpers
is bringing out a new collection of
Hitler's rantings . . When some-
body called the attention of Cass
Canfield, Harpers' literary editor,
