Wild Fears of
Army Life
cleveland LEADER

Numerous incidents reported in the
United States since the selective con
script!on law was passed have shown
that many persons have a widely ex
aggerated notion of the dangers and
hardships of army service. They evil
dently feel that call TO the colors is
about the same thing as a death sent
cnce few have killed themselves
Some have shot OF an arm or cut OF
several fingers. Other mutfations
have been reported.
This Ia the madness of fear In all
wars even in the tremendous conflict
now raging a soldier has about l9
chances out of 20 Of surviving years
service In two years he does not
run as much as 10 per cent risk OF
death German and British records in
dicate that the ratio OF fatalities is
not more than one out Of every 25
men. annually.
As for hardships some soldiers like
the change from the conditions Of civ
L life. Many seek to remain in mill
tary service after wars end Nearly
all who escape wounds say that they
feel unusually well and physically ht.

M. E. CHURCH SERMON

There was a good attendance at the first evening service held in the new Methodist church Sunday evening.
 The pastor chose for his themc "A Courageous Young Man." from Joshua IF. Rev. Patton said in part;
 "It is very evident why God chose Joshua to take charge of the armies of Israel upon the death of Moses. Joshua knew what was on the other side of Jordan. He and Caleb had been among the twelve spies who had travelled through the land forty years before. Joshua was one of the two who said the land howeth with milk and honey. Let us go up at once and possess it. But the ten said, We are not able to go up against the people.
 "So the majority ruled even though they were wrong. It was one of those instances where men followed a false hood because it appeared more easy than the truth, but as the cup of false hood ever is, there were bitter dregs to drink.
 During the following forty years, not only all those untruthful spies lost their lives wandering in the desert of their own choice, but also those who were deceived by them. Even the

Now For Hard Coal

Those ancient fictions that have
been used by the coal operators ever
since before the great coal strike,
when one of their number sprung
:nto notoriety by claiming that he
and his group were especially dele
gated by the Almighty to control the
coal and to disburse it, are still be-
ing used. But the food measure with
a stringent coal clause will settle
their cases for them. They now
point with equanimity to an increase
of fifty-five cents per ton over the
price of hard coal last year and say
IL costs this much more to mine it.
No one for moment believes the
miners deserve anything like TINS
increase. Moreover, the prices of
lsst winter were eXorbitant and con-
ceived for Wholesale robbery. Any
extenuating of these prices or those
now prevailing would cause pro-
test throughout the country.
Those prices have got to come
down. The operators have been
close hitched in soft coal prices. And
they Will be close 'hitched in refer
ence to the hard coal prices. FOR
this is the coal for the people. The
professionally predatory controllers
of the coal output no longer may
hope to hoodwink the public by
their ancient lies and subterfuges
The price of hard coal has got to
take a good hard drop-enough to
make the operators feel the thud II
they will not respect sentiment

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Thanks the TELEGRAPH
o the Editor of the Teleerdbh:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
May 1 thank you for voicing so
splendidly my own views on the
liquor question as you did in your
magnificent editorial of last Satur-
day. 1t ought to have been read
from every pulpit in the State.
There was a time, I will admit, when
some of your critics in this city had
me fooled. I thought they were
everything that is virtuous and that
you were, as they said, anything but
what you pretended to be. That time
is past. When 1 see you defying the
bosses in your own party to fight for
local option I rejoice. When L see
those who have been trying to per-
suade me that you wore a cloven
hoof displaying that same cloven
hoof themselves I know that have
been deluded. 1t requires trying
times like these to bring out the
truth. l almost shed tears for the
man in the White House who has
thrown aside the best chance for
immortal fame since the days of
Lincoln and I repudiate once and
for all the little politicians who pre-
tend to be for the best interests of
this community and who cast aside
their angel robes and stand reveal
ed for the imps they are because
they have not the courage to go
against their party. Don't be dis
couraged, keep the good work up
and rest assured that the people of
this city know now If they never
did before who is sincere and who
is the false prophet in this neck of
the woods. SINCERITY.
