c. S. EDMUNDSON THINKS A
HOSPITAL RIGHT MEMORIAL

Editor Reflector; ! note with much
interest that the people OF Dickinson
county are contemplating building
some kind Of memorial In honor Of
their boys who have made such great
sacrifices for their country. IL Is
needless to say that the boys OH
land, sea and Ia the air have wit
messed and experienced some terrible
sights. As am one OF these boys
from Dickinson county serving In the
United States navy, | am greatly In
terested In the welfare OF my home
county, and would therefore like to
be permitted to give you a few of
my thoughts concerning the memoir
ial in question.
While 1t Is only just that we con
slider the boys who gave their lives
for their country, yet, let us bear In
mind that the wounded and well
boys who return to your midst have
probably faced death great many
times, and they certainly deserve all
the due consideration that we can
give them for their mobile deeds and
honorable service" Every father,
mother and child, who stayed at
home and bought Liberty bonds and
stamps and aided Red Cross and all
kinds Of war work also deserves n
thimbleful Of credit as well MS the
man who went to the front, for with
out the aid from everyone we could
not have won this great war.
II seems to me memorial hospital
is the thing, placing ust inside the
front door a bronze statue, also n
memorial tablet containing the names
also book containing the picture
and obituary of each Of the Dickin-
son county boys who gave their lives
for their country
Reserve one of the rooms of the
first floor for a museum containing
the boys relics and a diary of each
boys war experiences. Also have a
big reception hall where the boys
can assemble and tell their war stor-
les and talk about all Of their exper-
fences and about the brave and noble
deeds Of their comrades.
The upper floors to be fitted up for
a hospital to care for your wounded
boys who return. A hospital would
undoubtedly be the ideal thing for
them so that they could be taken
care OF at home. know that If the
dead boys could speak for themsel-
yes, they would recommend mem
orial hospital in memory of their
lives given for our liberty, and
would thus provide a place where
their wounded comrades and friends
could go and receive the best of medi-
cal attention.
A monument would simply be a
memorial for the dead, while a mem
orial hospital would be a memorial
for the dead and would undoubtedly
be haven OF rest to the boys VINO
return. The museum would be Of
much interest and great education
to hundreds of people
In building a memorial hospital,
you win also have room to take care
of all Red Cross work which has GER
tainly been one of the greatest bene-
fits in helping to win the war, and
all the soldiers, sailors and marines
have always been comforted by the
Red Cross, and received so much help
in every way from them that we win
certainly love to see them receive
some benefit so that they can carry
ON all future work.

WASHINGTON. July 2.-Misunder-
standing of the provisions OF the war
FISK insurance act, either on the part
OF the enlisted man or by his depend
ents, has caused much of the delay in

pal causes of delay as enumerated in

Failure of the enlisted man to report
dependents. either through misunder-
standing Of tho system or by willful
intention.
Giving of incorrect addresses of de-
pcndents.

TheproEram then laid down by the
War Department has been so accele-
rated under the driving impulse OF
President Wilson that II is, according
to Secretary Baker. six months ahead
of schedule.
AS originally planned this accelerated
program was not to extend beyond the
month OF July. Whether or not 1t is
tc be continued beyond this period Is
in process of discussion with tho allied
governments with chances favoring a
continuation of the speed-up process.
The testimony OF General Wood be-
fore the Appropriations Committee
showed that 100000 Will be called into
service in the six months from July
to December 80 of this year. The
average number Of men in tho train
ing camps during. the past year has
been 100000. and during the past
seven or eight months 1t has run con-
siderably over that number.
In explaining the reasons for large
purchases of blankets and other equip
ment General Wood told the commit
tee that there now are in service $780,
600 men and that by the first day OF
January 100000 men will be in uni
form. Continuing he said:
'On the 2Sth of February the general
staff gave General Goethals the mill
tary program which was supposed TO
go until June 80, 1919. That called for
100000 men per month to be called
during 191S--that is. 100000 men in
March, 100000 men In April. 100, 900
men in May. 100000 men In June, ETC.
After this drive began. with less than
thirty days notice. the call for May
was increased to over 100000 men; and
last month. without any notice. the
juno call was increased to approx
mately 100000 men"

Ny Lady April

When down the stairs at morning
The sunbeams round her float,
Sweet rivulets of laughter
Are budding in her throat;
The gladness of her greeting
Is gold without alloy;
And in the morning sunlight
think her name is joy.
When in the evening twilight
The quiet book room lies,
We read the sad old ballads,
While from her hidden eyes
The tears are falling, falling,
That give her heart relief;
And in the evening twilight
think her name is grief.
My little April lady,
OF sunshine and of showers,
She weaves the old spring magic
And breaks my heart in flowers!
But when her moods are ended,
She nestles like a dove,
Then by. the pain and rapture,
| know her name is love.
