To the Editor OF THE TINES:
If you Will permit me to answer the
argument of Mr.. Alexander in the
Mail Bag I would like to write a few
lines in reply to his argument To begin
with. 1t was only one part OF Germany
that supplied the British with troops,
and that part was ruled by a despot
who sold his men like cattle. They
came and fought against their will and
rather than return to their native
heath. they settled in this country. May
ask the gentleman If he can find
more honest. sturdy. and loyal set Of
people than the Pennsylvania "Dutch?"
Regarding the war we had with Spain.
We did not need the aid OF the British
or any other fleet. It would have been
r black shame on US forever If such
would have been the case. And the
Germans were neutral. hence a slight
misunderstanding could not be called a
hostile demonstration.
Not to bring up the civil war. let the
dead past bury its dead Ny folks all
fought for the Stars and Ears and We
are all glad that we are one united ma
ton. England helped the Confederacy
in every possible manner, except to de-
clare hostilities. Not through love Of
Dixie. hut because the weakening of
this country was to her satisfaction.
But Providence had not ordained II so.
II the gentleman wishes to deny this
allegation let him read history first.
II is best not to believe tales OF shoot
ing the wounded and robhing the dead.
l guess there are cutthroats and thieves
In all armies.
To finish. | wish to state that l am
not German or n German sympathi-
ser. am Of the blood that followed
"Jamey" and "Charley" in Is and '45.
and that beat some of Mr.. Alexander s
ancestors at Yorktown. and others at
New orleans. The average American
citizen feels no antiDathy toward Ger
many in her fight against French pre-
tudiCe and British greed

This great age of corporate work
among women has developed many
organizations powerful for good.
Among them is the order of the
Daughters of the King. This order
is within the Episcopal Church and
her elder sister. the Church OF Eng
land. but so broad is its charter that
the work attempted and accomplished
by the Daughters must stretch far
beyond any sectarian bounds.
This order was organized in the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre, New
York city. 1885. by band of earnest
women seeking to do definite work
for Christ.
Allied to the Brotherhood Of St.
Andrew in origin. the order started
out in apostolic simplicity TO spread
the kingdom OF Christ among women
The first work attempted was the
study and teaching of the Bible and
n practical application of such study
10 daily life in prayer and kind
ness 10 friendless women.
Work For Women.
To concentrate its workers. the
order ruled that each parish be priv
ilesed TO form a chapter. whose pres
ident should cooperate with her
rector in mapping out the form of
work best suited to their spiritual
needs These parish chapters are
under the supervision of a diocesan
board. whose head is the bishop OF
such diocese.
In this way the Daughters of the
King form a standing army of wom-
en- in the church militant, who
are in constant touch with bishops
and clergy. and always ready for
active service.
Any woman communiCant Of the
church, with the love of Christ in
her heart. is eligible To membership.
and each Daughter pledges herself
10 daily prayer and continuous work
for women. and to wear the badge
of her Order-a small silver cross.
This little cross has become Ia
miliar to women in sorrow or need.
For tho spread Of Christ's kingdom
carries the daughters wherever dis
Cnrnag=d nr unfortunate woman Is
10 h.. found. and We know that Is
everywhere.

tinued the major-generaI. I'VE could
get all we wanted. But what we want
in the National Guard are strong, ath-
letic men, who delight In camping and
roughing 1t.
What I want to do is to build up
a militia In the State Of New York of
dependable, fighting men. The engi-
neers of the State militia are. in my
mind, first cousins to Mother Earth.
and in order to be useful in time of
war, must get acquainted with tho
earth's surface In time of peace The
army engineers are not the only SOL
dicrs that should be trained on earth
floors. either. and in time hope to see
the hardwood floors of most of the
armories disappear"
