OUR INDIVIDUAL PART. Some observers think that the Lmost characteristic thin about tbe, American soldiers in r ranee something which astound t e enemy and txcitps the admira lion ofour allies is the capacity of tba American soldiers to do individual thinking sud lighting Tbe German huhts successfully only in mass fo.-maMon In organ ized bodies while every American .soldier has an initiative and in dependence of action which gives him remarkable fficiency in open -'fjtfht.icg. They art' not senseless, cogs but each is an individual wonting unit in a great hunting machine. rEvery American at home should foe! an individual respon sibility and do his or her indi vidual part in winning the war, T!jere is nnt an Ame lean citizen who can not help win the war. The Fourth Liberty Lun drive. which begins September 28, offers a great opportunity for concerted action and for indivi dual ac'ioc. aud the loan will bo a tremendous success if each American will do bis or her indi vidual part as each American soldier in France does his part.
