Commander George F. Moore of Ala

The address followed an eXemplifsca-

Devoting himself largely to frater-

referred to Masonry's leavening in

the splendid Americanism which per-

His introduction by I. w. Hugo of

VINO ARE THE MERCENaRlEs7

The New York Times objects to the
raise in the pay Of enlisted men 1t goes
on to say that the American soldier has
always been the best paid private in
the world and compares the pitful pay
Of the European soldier with the mu-
nificent SIS a month we had paid
American privates forecast that it is
20 be heavy burden, etc.
There Isn't the slightest doubt that it
is TO be a burden on those who pay it.
But who expects TO fight a war without
bearing burdens. There isn't much
doubt that the men in the trenches at
$50 per month would shift places with
the man at home in safety and con-
Quoting profitable business Whenever
the burden Of paying becomes onerous
to the latter he can get out from un-
der it by taking a place in the van OF
the drive. The fact is that the Ameri-
can people have come to the point
where they are ashamed to accept the
proffered or forced services Of men in
the most toilsome. dangerous and de-
structive occupation in the world at
less than the poorest odd job man can
earn in safety.
The, conclusion is that all must bear
part of the heavy burden on their
shoulders, that no burden of payment
can be unequal to that accepted by
those who place their futures and their
lives on the cast of the war dice. It is
definite conclusion that IL he does
not fight he must pay.
The Times could find a finer exercise
for its influence were it to insist that
the vast profits of munition makers
and those who pile up great fortunes
out Of the bloody muck of war should
as matter Of simple justice be divert
ed to the support Of the nation and the
payment of at least section hand wages
to the men who risk their lives in bat
tie while their dependents live on the
meager pay Of a soldier.
Those men are not fighting for pay.
They are not mercenary. Who takes
the risks Of warfare for pay? Theirs
Is a true patriotism. The mercenaries
are those who would profit in safety
and in purse by their sacrifice.
