The Call of To-Day
                                     
 [Inside Front]
 Do You Believe in
America First?

          If you still have any of the red blood in your veins that 
      Tingled when you answered the Nation’s call in the stirring
      Days of 1898 - 1902 you will now give heed to this message
      Which is sent to you to once more call you to arms in de-  
       fence of your country and your country’s flag.
      
       The record of your achievements of those days is now
       written in history; the results then accomplished have given
       this nation a place in the forefront of the powers of the
       world; the duties incident to those days are yet unfulfilled
       and your Comrades now appeal to you to give them your 
       support.  The honorable discharge that you possess is simple
       proof that you once did your duty.  Will you wear the 
       bronze emblem of our order to show that you are a real
       Comrade and that you believe in real comradeship and all
       That the term implies?

       The United States Spanish War Veterans,
        an organization of over forty thousand men, now issues an
        appeal to every eligible to become enrolled under its ban-
        ner.  The rime is ripe for an enlargement of our forces,
        the people of the nation are thrilled with the spirit of pre-
        paredness; the legislative bodies are listening with attentive
        ears to the call of the patriotic and the press and platform
        are sending forth stirring summons to unite for the mainte-
        nance of the power and the prestige of the Stars and Stripes;
        the flag which you and your Comrades made honored and
        respected upon every land and upon every sea.  Will you
        turn a deaf ear to the call of your Comrades?

       [The rest of the pamphlet is a plea to join and reap the benefits.]
