ADVICE TO FIGHTING MEN
FROM PRESIDENT WILSON

Bible Edition Urges Rend-
ing of Scriptures.

WASHINGTON. August 15.-Presi-
dent Wilson has written a letter urging
Bible reading for lighting men. and
the letter will appear on the fly leaf Of
a special edition of the Bible to be
given to American sailors and soldiers.
The message was written at the re-

Scripture Gift Mission of Philadelphia.
The Presidents letter is as follows.
The White House, Washington.
THE Bible is the word of life. l beg
that you will read it and find this out
for yourselves-read. not little snatches
here and there. but long passages that
will really be the road to the heart of
it. You will find it full of real men
and women not only, but also things
you have wondered about and been
troubled about all your life, as men
have been always; and the more you
read the more it will become plain to
you what things are worth while and
what are not; what things make men
happy-loyalty, right dealings, speak
ing the truth. readiness to give every
thing for what they think their duty
and, most Of all, the wish that they
may have the real approval of the
Christ. who gave everything for them
and the things that are guaranteed
to make men Observation-Disclosures
cowardice. greed and everything that
Is low and mean. When you have read
the Bible you will know that it is
the Word of God, because you will have
found II the key to your own heart
your own happiness and your own
duty. WOODROW WILSON"

were bewildered. all Instruments OF au-

Then came the propaganda OF vari-
