THE DIFFERENCE

~ DITOR Philip Lesch of New Ulm points
n out the contrast il the way American and
- German soldiers take part in the war. He
says:
There is considerable difference in the manner
in which royalty in Germany fights and the
way the sons of American ex-presidents take to
the game. The kaiser sees to it that his sons
are well in the rear of the line of battle Their
lives precious, that dozen wars could
rage and they would not receive wound. Roy
atty must observe due precaution lest a battle
scar be left of the fray. Their subjects
bleed and die, but that is for the fatherla1d. 1t
is their duty to do so that autocracy may live!
On the other hand the sons of American presi-
dents in the front lines of battle, doing SER
vice for their country. Roosevelt has
had one son killed and two others are now in the
hospitals suffering from wounds, and fourth
is in the service What more can an expresident
do for his country? Charlie Taft, another ex-
presidents is in the artillery. He did not
seek safe zone in the war game either and

would be exhausted. 1 was also sub
ject to sick headaches, had terrible
pains in the back. shortness Of breath
and f1uttering Of the heart.
Il read about DR.. Williams Pink

tinued their use and they brought
