Dear General Nichols.-The Commits

are now engaged. We feel it to be a
ministry. who have the ear of the peo-

selected men from all our churches and
homes. The lives of these young men,
physically. morally and spirituality
must be safeguarded from the hosts
OF evil which assail them. and in this
matter the government needs and calls
for the assistance of all good citizens
There should be no hesitation on the
part of the ministry in presenting this
matter with all earnestness to their
people. If this great conflict against
