HATS OFF TO THIS MOTHER!
BY HERMANN HAGEDORN
of the ViqiIantes.


Regimental Sergt. Maj. William B.
Jenkins, Three Hundred and Fourth
field artillery, is dead at Camp Upton,
but his soul is marching on. 1t is a
question indeed whether in death he
may not do more to defeat the Ger
mans than he could ever have done in
life. For his death has brought from
his mother an utterance of stirring
patriotism elat IS sure to rouse to
greater effort the defenders of America
abroad and at home.
Sergeant Major Jenkins came from
Holiday, Tenn, and it is from there
that his mother, Mrs. M. E. Jenkins,
writes as follows to Maj. J. D. Whit
man:
"AllOw me as one who has lived un-
til am now an old woman to express
to you my thanks and appreciation for
your many courtesieS to me as mother
of Sergt. Maj. William B. Jenkins. 1
had hoped my boy would get his
chance in France, but it was not to be,
so l am as submissive to his death as
If he had died in the trenches in Eu-
rope. Please accept my thanks for
all your kindness and to any of his
comrades that were with him in his
sickness. With sad heart I dictate
these lines, but with a quickening pulse
and an accelerated being 1 look for
ward to the day when victory shall
come to the brave boys who are giving
their lives for our beloved land. l
shall ever love a soldier boy. May
Gods blessing be on you"
