sad to think how the of Americans
turned their backs on Russia and some of them
ran up Japanese flags The writer then de-
clares that Russia having her hands full, Eng
land and France will have to win by them
selves, and that no ally can shift any part of
it's burden from its own back.
Politely, but none the less pointedly, the Re-
view editorially reminds Americans that some
of the matters on which some of us have been
rather free with our opinions are none of our
business and this is strictly true. 1t might be
said, however that there are other matters
affecting very seriously business that we
have put up with and said little or nothing
about. ISAAC r. PENNYPACKER.

THE BENNETT DOCUMENT

To Ue Editor Of The EUeninO Ledger:
Sir-There is only to James
O'Donnell Bennett. He has been eating out
of the sop pots of the Germans. They bought
him cheap. In justfying the Germans he
raves over their magnanlmity in feeding 600
destitute families, and says not a word about
the 100000 who were fed by the Americans.
He has utterly failed to explain how the Ger.
mans get into another mans house, destroy
his possessions, annihilate and starve his wife
and children. / agree that this document is
a startling one, but wholly from the puerlle
character of its attempt to justify the greatest
example of barbarity and vandalism the world
has known.

Charity Worth While

THosE who sleep in comfortable beds may
i be thankful that they do not belong in
that group of 800 homeless men and boys who
slept on Tuesday night on newspapers spread
out on the floor OF an empty factory building
at 18th and Huntingdon streets. A space on
the floor big enough to turn over in is more
comfortable than a doorway. Whoever
thought Of opening that factory for the ac-
commodation of the homeless was inspired
But he had no monopoly of this kind Of In
splration. There are scores OF vacant build
ings, some of them belonging TO the city,
which could be opened TO the men who other
wise would have to walk the streets through
the night or run the risk of arrest as va
grants while seeking shelter in the lee of a
packing box or in the entrance OF some bust
ness building.

our point
There are a few people who deludo

of the kind, but they are proving them

such views, and hold such opinions,
have just as much right to them as
we do ours. 1t is seldom that this
newspaper refuses to print communi-
