The following article from the How
ard Courant concerning a well known
Topeka man will be of interest: Glen
Sawyer, a Moline boy in the 18th in
France writes his mother concerning
Col. Clad Hamilton of that regiment:
Colonel Hamilton is the finest man
have ever seen. There isn't man in
the regiment who does not like him or
who would refuse to go thru 'helPS
fire and birthstone for him. He is in
terested in every man. Every time
you salute him. he salutes you and
smiles just as II he was an intimate
friend. I cannot say too much for
Morris that there are five Moline boys
only too glad to have her brother as
commanding officer.

SHUT HIM UP.
1 try to be cheerful about this
dreary war. but If things keep on the
way they are I'm going to get real
sore. No matter where L happen, no
matter where 1 light. there's always
some deluded nut tells how to stop the
light. They tell how HaiS should baf-
fie them, how the Germans could be
stopped. How they could down the
kaiser, what officials should be
dropped. OF how Byng could make
better stand, and they'd build a bet
ter tank. OF what old BLACK jack
should do because he is a Yank. I'm
getting sick of all this talk. my stom-
ach's getting sour of listening to these
poor old yaps spout wisdom by the
hour. They froth and fret and fume
and stew and brag all day of what
they'd do, and still when you would
look and delve. you'll find. they can't
take care of themselves. That sort
of man We do not need, he's no help
to this nation. He binders every move
and slackens our determination. 1t
isn't men who sit around some cor
ner grocery store and tell what they
ought to do and how we fought be-
fore, it's men with brains and back
bone that's going to help us win ard
they're the ones we're counting on to
stop the battles din. l hope they
soon will pass a law to gag these poor
old yaps. and let the men who want
to do put in their meaning raps. It's
brains we want and deeds that count
and bits of action. too. So let's all
pull together, stop the talk. let's up
and do. n. S. A
