THE WHITE RIBBON ARMY (New Zealand Division) General Orders: “ ADVANCE !” General Foch at a crisis in the Great War issued the following:—“YOU CAN DO ONE OF THREE THINGS—(I) YOU CAN RETREAT: (2) YOU CAN HOLD THE LINE; or (3) YOU CAN ATTACK. The first i forbid; the second I command; the third I advise.” 1. RETREAT:—WhiIe one child suffers from or one youth is tempted by strong drink, we will never lay down our arms never, NEVER, NEVER. 2. HOLD THE LINE: 1. No-Licence Areas. 2. Restriction of hours of sale. 3. No new Licenses. 4. No redistribution of existing ones. 5. No sale to minors or prohibited persons. 3. ATTACK:—The secret of success in warfare is ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK. -Stonewall Jackson. ADVANCE ALL ALONG THE LINE. GREAT EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN. 1. Facts are all on our side. Will you help to make them known? 2. Science is with us. Alcohol is a cell poison—a racial menace. 3. Health is with us. “In the march to Ladysmith I was with the relief column. In that column of 30,000 men the first who dropped out were the drinkers, and they dropped out as clearly as if they had boen labelled with a big letter on their backs.”—Sir Frederick Treves, M.D. 4. WE HAVh ATHLETICS ON OUR SIDE:—“I do not know of a single coach or trainer in an educational institution who believes that alcohol is beneficial to an athlete.”- Major Griffiths, Commissioner of Athletics. 5. Time is on cur side:—“lf we were more thorough students of the Past we should be braver prophets of the Future. Only those who have not studied history lose heart in great reforms.” Trances Willard. “When they hanged the 18th Amendment they hanged the Liquor Trade with it. The tremendous reaction will bring a greater and more lasting victory against the death dealing traffic than most of us drqam of.” Mar\ Harris Armor. This is a soldier’s battle; our Great Commander signals, “Heaven expects EVERY woman to take up her cross and follow the Christ.” OUR PRESENT OBJECTIVE:— TO RAISE THE CIRCULATION OF OUR PAPER TO 5,000 BY CONVENTION. A PRIZE OF ONE GUINEA TO UNION SECURING MOST NEW SUBS. A DECORATION FOR ALL SECURING 10 NEW SUBS. We suggest Unions decorate the member secu. ing most subs. THE “WHITE RIP.BOX” SUPPLIES FACTS. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO CIRCULATE THESE FACTS. We are CHRISTIAN Soldiers. One task in our programme of education is to permeate the public mind with the spiritual nature of the temperance movement. Never forget that prayer is the one weapon we can wield of which our opponents can have no knowledge. Ida B. \\ isr Smith.
