Still, still we. bask in gilded ease. and
soOthe ourselves with fine cigars and fill
ourselves with costly cheese, and chOo around
in meter cars. We put fine raiment our
backs, buy silk shirts of gorgeous price;
we hayn't made a sacrifice. We read stern
tales from over the sea, which tell Of Britain's
bettered line, and buy up seven lNnds or three
where should call for forty-nine. We
hayn't helped our Uncle Sam so much its
worth while to relate; we eat brown bread,
wei spread with jam, and think we're doing
something great. We waste enough, each pass
ing day (because we do not use our domes),
TO drive the wolves of want away from $4,000
soldiers homes. We waste our coin on prince
ly duds when simpler rags wogld do well.
we blow change for smokes and suds, and
gawds too numerous to tell. Of sacrItlce were
talking yarge while on cur padded course we
romp, like Cleopatra her barge, in luxury
and idle pomp. Our loyalty IS all fake un-
less we show we have some steam; oh let us
prod ourselves awake, and do the things of
which We dream walt Mason.

The War Department urges every TO
write cheerful letters TO the soldier boys,
whether overseas or in the training camps
at home. Those in authority say that the prIn-
ciDal causes of soldiers absenting themselves
without leave may be traced directly to DIS
cOuraging letters from home. These letters
so prey upon the minds of the boys that they
90 home without leave. which is a serious
military ofIense. Many of the boys are home
sick and a blue letter from home will not help
him any. The better way. and the way desired
by the War Department, is to write CHEEKY,
chatty letters full of home news, but free
from anything annoying.
