Boston, July 22, 1914.
Mr.. Error
| observe in your paper OF Saturday last, CON-
municaton headed "Small Feelings" | am sur
prised that any person Of common sense should
have supposed for moment that Col. Thompson
intended any insult to the Tigers. There Is no
thing in his remarks that would imply an insult -
The whole object OF his remarks Is simply 10 make
d little play upon the word lions. Col. Thompson
has high regard tor Major Park, and would on
no OCCASION say or do anything that would hurt
the feelings OF Major Park. Col Thompson is a
gentleman OF hlgh and honorable feelings, and
would not stoop To do a mean thing on any occa-
sion. He has moreover, no feeling OF Jealousy to-
wards the Boston Light Infantry, but on the con-
rary, many of his friends there, and have been
there, andf IT with mich pleasure that
he heard Of the attention they received IN yonr
city believe that Major Park has idea thai
Col. Thompson intended any insult TO the Infantry,
but thinks as do about it.
The "sma feelings seem to me to be In the
person of that who signs himself ''Od
Sodger," and who seems SO willing to catch al
straws Tor the purpose OF widening the breach be-
tween these two fine Boston companies.
BY inserting the above, you will obige many
friends Of the Boston military. SUFFOLK
