The raising of the voice In anger
is manifesty akin to the roar of the
angry carnlvOra. Darwin has pointed
out the connection between the human
sheer and the snarl of the angry dog,
and have myself seen refined wom-
an in transport of spite lift her up
per lip and show her teeth in man
ner absurdly like an enraged beast.
But nothing shows more clearly the
essential identity of the fighting In
stinct In man and the lower animal
than the way In which child, soon
after II can toddle, will rush at the
object Of its passion and proceed to
bite and scratch-that is, to use teeth
and claws, as any of the carniyora
might.--Exchange.

LETTER FROM BRYAN RCAFFERY
San Diego, Cal, July 1.

San Diego, Cal, July l.
Dear Father
have a chance at last to write yol
a letter. Our troop OF 600 men ar
rived in San Diego, CAL, Sunday
June S0th, and the camp is just out
side the city. This is supposed to bt
one of the finest camps in the coun
try. Talk about riding; we have hat
six days and nights of it. We left
Philadelphia Monday, June oath. The
first stop was at Harrisburg, then al
Altoona, then Pittsburgh, where we
had breakfast Tuesday morning and
we certainly got a fine send-off there
Some Of the large cities that we pass
ed on the way were Canton, Ohio
Crestline, Ohio, Fort Wayne, Ind.
Fort Madison, Iowa, Chicago, ILL.,,
Kansas City, Mo-, Trinidad, Colo, and
Albuquerque, N. NJ.
Talk about fine people, there are
fine people in the West.
We had our supper at San Berna-
dino, CAL, Saturday evening, one of
the large cities of the state. We re-
mained there about three hours and
talk about fine treatment, we certain
ly had it there.
am a long ways from hOme-about
three thousand milesZso you must
know that / am tired of riding by
this time.
Talk about fine scenery, 1 have GER
tainly seen some; especially in Colo
rado and California. l shook hands
with lot of full-blOOded Indians and
also Mexicans. The foruar danced
the war dance for us in New Mexico.
One good thing, two-thirds Of the
boys are Catholics, and most of them
Irish, too. The roommate 1 had on
the cars was a Catholic, and a fine
Irish lad at that; his name is Clark.
How are you getting along in the
shop, and how are Mary and Agnes?
Have you heard from Mrs. Shortall.
and how is she getting along? I have
sent postcard to Eugene, Ella and
Anna, but not my address yet.
This is a fine camp, and covers a
lot of ground, with a mountain chain
at the north side. We had some fine
officers at the head of our company
coming out here, but they are going
back to Philadelphia in about two
more days.
The Arizona desert is sure some
desert; it took US two days 10 cross
It. We have gone through about ten
states coming out here, so you know
that l saw some part of the country,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast.
think that we will train out here
FOR about two or three months and
then come east again. Please send me
! little money, as had to buy things
n Philadelphia.
Father don't worry about me, as I
will be alright and obey all officers,
and l can't help but get along.
Have to go to mass today.

LETTER FROM PARIS c. GREENLY
Somewhere in France"
Mothers Day"

Somewhere in France
Mothers Day"
My Dear Mother:
Since | last wrote to you l have
moved out from Paris to a place
where l have Y hut all to myself,
and now am beginning to feel quite
at home in my new surroundings
This is Sunday evening, May u, the
day we observe as Mothers Day. l
have urged the boys all to write home
today, and now before it gets dark,
/ will write to you. We have Just
had a short song service, and enioyed
1t very much as it awOke memories
'Of Sunday evenings back home.
To begin with, l must tell you all
about my new place. IT is twenty
five or thirty miles from Paris, to-
wards the front, and l suppose about
fifteen miles from the battle line, Just
close enough to hear the big guns
in the far distance, sounding like
thunder. 1t is a sort of rest camp
where the troops pass through and
stop only for day or so. We have
very fine barracks, the places where
they sleep, and so far as possible ev-
cry thing is convenient, for war time
l am to have one Of the large huts
for my Y hut, which will be very fine
when all fixed up. l brought out two
large truck loads of things from
Paris, including a piano and my phon-
ograph. l am going to have a NOV
ing picture machine as soon as 1 get
things ready for it, so we will have
plenty of music and entertainments.
l am delighted with the outlook Of
the place and the opportunities for
service. One Of the most pleasant
features OF the work here will be the
officers and men with whom I will be
associated. The major in charge is
one OF the very finest men have ever
met in my life. He neither smokes,
drinks, nor uses profane language,
and you know for an army officer that
IS saying much. He Is more than
kind to me, and wants to do every
thing possible to make the Y work
success. He told me that the Ford
car was at my service whenever 1
wanted 1t. We drove into Paris once
last week with it, and whenever 1
need any goods for the Canteen will
use 1t to go into Paris after them.
isn't that fine? Also the captain out
here at the camp, with whom eat
and am with most Of the time, is as
Dig-hearted a man as father was. He
has been In the army a number OF
years so Is at home in this kind of
hte. He Is just like a big brother
to me. This evening while eating
supper he found out for the first time
that / am a preacher, and seemed
glad to hear it. He also said that at
one time he started to study for the
ministry. So you see I am more than
fortunate with the kind Of officers
with whom am working. The men
who are here permanently are equally,
as hne. am anticipating much
pleasure in my work here, and I had
actually rather be here living in bar
racks with this opportunity for work

| was for five weeks, or in HaVrt
where | was for five weeks. At bOtl
of those places | was living in regular
hotels with everything and a fine sOf

my cot, but have a mattress on it
and all other things are much like

should have been awfully disappoint.

les. But | am glad that l had the
city experience first. l am certainly
fortunate in getting to see so much
of France. So many of the Secretar-
les have been located at one place all
the time.
Did l tell you that a week ago DR.
Urmy took dinner with me in Paris
and that he is located within twenty
miles of me? 1 shall be going up to
his place some day before long with
the major. He expects to return to
the States about September. l don't
know just when I will be going back.
Possibly by that time, or maybe not
until spring. l am more than glad
that l came over here and would not
have missed it for the world. / am
learning much about France and the
French people. Most all of whom I
meet are very kind and appreciative
of what America is doing for them.
l want to learn their language so I
may converse with them. I have seen
most of Paris and am sure it is the
most wonderful city in the world. 1
also have seen much of the country
and what wonderful gardens they
have. Their land is very fertile and
they farm it extensively. Every inch
OF the land is under cultivation. EV-
en- in these war times the farming
goes on just the same. It is pathetic
to see so many old men and women
doing the hard work, but they are do
ing it all the time. Their houses
seem very peculiar to US. All of the
houses and even barns are built out
of stone with tile rooms, and with
great high stone walls in front Of
them-mOst of them look about two
hundred years old. Their barns and
houses are all in the same building
and their little yard is full of dogs.
goats, pigs, pigeons, horses and COWS.
Their wagons are two-wheeled carts.

that we are so far from home that all
OF US can appreciate our mothers
more than when we are so close TO
them. As think Of you and what
you have done for me, no words can
express my obligations TO you. I am
glad that the last two years we have
been together again. The seven
months we were at Irvington, I think
were the happiest months OF my life.

SERVICE CITIZENS OF DELAWARE

An organization, designed to TAX
advantage of the rising tide Of com
munity spirit brought about by wa
conditions and to direct it into chan
nels which will make of Delaware {
model community, was formed at Z
meeting in the dupont Building, Will
mingtOn, recently, attended by many
States most prominent men and wo'
men.
An address to the citizens of Della.
ware, containing a declaration prin-
ciples, was adopted and the name fol-
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Citizens OF
Delaware-was chosen. Pierre S.
DUPONT, president of the dupont COM
pany, was elected president of the
new organization and was directed to
name a committee which should pre-
pare a constitution and bylaws and
perfect an organization to carry out
the principles enunciated in the plat
form.
The organization is non-political
and nOn-sectarian. It was formed
without regard to politics or religion
and has as its guiding principle the
betterment of social conditions in
Delaware, which are seriously limit
ing the efforts made by the people in
support of the war and which will
prove, if they persist, an obstacle to
civic progress when the war is over.
1t is the first organization of its
kind formed in the United States and
1t is intended, by concerted action, to
bring about a betterment of condi-
tiOns.
The following address was adopted
as the purpose of the people:
To the Citizens of Delaware:
The present national emergency
has directed attention to the exist
ence in the State Of Delaware Of So
cial conditions which are seriously
limiting the efforts made by our peo-
pie in support Of the war and will
prove, if they persist, an obstacle to
civic progress when the war is over.
Among the phases of civic life in
Delaware which fall short of proper
and attainable standards and which.
therefore, require careful study and
on the part of our cit
Izens, the following may be mention
ed: sanitation, public health, hous-
ing, education, child welfare work,
The care of dependents and detectives
and governmental administration.
The accomplishments of ether COM
nunities show that undesirable con-
iitions in these fields may be reached
and corrected by wisely chosen activ- /
ties.
As compared with many states. |
Delaware occupies a favorable posi- !
ion with respect to work for public +
welfare. We have no large cities, !
With attendant congestion and per-
picking problems of transportation. |
4 large proportion Of our citizens are
engaged in the wholesome occupation ,
II agriculture and well paid indus
rial work. Moreover, the fact that [
he community is, in relation to its
population, one Of the wealthiest in
he world, gives it ample resources
