Treason if We Quit
Short of Berlin,
Says Judge Lindsey

Anything short of peace dictated
in Berlin after the absolute military
victory of the Allies would be treason;
would be betrayal of the millions of
noble men who have given their lives
that liberty and democracy may live,
was the message Judge Ben B. Lind
sey, of Denver, brought from the front
to the members of the Rotary Club, as
sembled at it's Thursday luncheon at
the Hotel McAlpin yesterday noon.
Judge Lindsey arrived from Europe
on August I, and is now lecturing for
the War Camp Community Service,
which he characterizes as "the greatest
single social force in America"
ut is WONDERFUL" the judge said,
chow cheerfully the boys of this coun-
try, of all races and all antecedents,
are giving all of their energy, thoughts
and life Itself to put down the COM
mon enemy. Their coming has brought
to the war-tired French and British
new strength, new hoDc. I recall an
incident that was told to NE by q
british officer during the tragic days
OF the German spring offensive.
We held little village in the face
of savage attacks he said The rail
road station was full of our wounded
and our men were falling on all sides
The situation was getting hopeless,
when the strains of your stirring song
The Yank are coming, the Yanks are
coming announced the approach of
your marines. We not only held our
ground, but in few minutes drove
the Hun from his positions.'"
The spirit of the American army in
France is one of the big spiritual
forces. Prejudices have no place there.
Among the soldiers who held for five
days without relief important ground
in No Mans Land in the battle of
Seicheprey we're two Italian-bor boys,
and they were typical of their fellows.
There are no finer soldiers in Europe,
the judge said, then the cheerful, good
natured Jewish boys.

-Four hours in an open trench on

an experience which Miss Mary C.

out to refuge trench, but when she
reached it, it was already occupied by

"Shells were falling everywhere. A

fame and flying steel was raining
down, killing civilians and soldiers

just kept duckng with the soldiers and
managed to come through without a
