lily whose heart is being used for
the service of the soldiers not
only, but for the service of civil
ians, where they suffer and are
lost in a maze of distress and dis
fractions. And you have then this
noble picture of Justice and mercy
as the two servants of liberty. For
only where men are free do they
think the thoughts of comrade-
ship; only where they are free
do they think the thoughts of
sympathy; only where they are
free are they mutually helpful;
only where they are free do they
realize their dependence upon one
another and their comradeship in
a common interest and common
necessity.
Il heard a story the other day
that was ridiculous, but it is
worth repeating, because it con-
tains the germ of truth. An
Indian was enlisted in the army.
He returned to the reservation
on a furlouCh. He was asked
what he thought of it. He said.
no much good. too much salute.
no much shoot Then he was
asked are you going back%
Yes Well do you know what
you are fighting for% Yes, me
know: fight to make whole damn
world Democratic party He
had evidently misunderstood
some innocent sentence of my
own.
But after all although there
is no party purpose in it, he got
it right as far as the word
party to make the whole world
Democratic in the sense of COM
munity of interest and Of pur-
pose, and If you ladies and
gentlemen could read some of
the touching dispatches which
come through official channels,
for even through those channels
there comes voices of humanity
that are infinitely pathetic.
81 summon YOu."
SIf you could catch some of
these voices that speak the ut
ter longing OF oppressed and
helpless peoples all over the
world; to hear something like
the Battle Hymn of the Republics
to hear the feet of the greet
hosts of liberty going to set
them free. to set their minds
free. set their lives free, to set
their children free. you would
know what comes into the
heart Of those who are try
Ing to contribute all the brAins
and power they have to this
great enterprise of liberty. L
summon you to the eomrade-
ship. Isummon you I'm this next
week to say how much and how
sincerely, and how unanimousIy
ysu sustain the heart of the

has but a short time to remain on
Mother Earth and desiring decent
and respectable burial after death.
Levi Durkis, so years old, civil
War veteran, of near here, is busily
engaged in arranging the many de-
tails for his funeral. -.

and went to the undertaking estab-
lishment of r. II. Brown Il Son.
There he selected the casket that is
to encase his body after death ana
made some other necessary arrange
ments with the undertaliers. Com
pleting this end OF the arrangement
he got in touch with the MifhintoWn
cemetery officials and purchased O.
plot of ground that is to be his final
resting place.
Appearing hale and hearty, Mr..
that the premonition of a death in
the near future has caused him to
these steps. Without any near rela-
tives and desiring q decent and re-
spectacle burial after death, he does
not wish tho matter left to civil au-
thoritieS and run the risk of being
inferred like q tramp or pauper.
Possessing quite q good memory
for his age, he can remember quite
vividly many Civil War events. Mr..
DurlS!s was wounded at Fraser's

Mr.. DOwling Makes Strong
Appeal at Ohev ShOlom
For Crippled Soldiers

At the regular service Of the Ohev
Sholom congregation last evening,
Michael J. Bowling. president of the
State bank of olivia. MINI, spoke in
behalf of the returning disabled SOL
dier. Mr.. Bowling, who recently
spoke in Harrisburg under the au-
spices of the reconstruction division
of the Home Service Committee of
the Red Cross. is recognized as one
of the leading citizens of the Central
Northwest. although he lacks both
legs, his left arm and the fingers of
his right hand.
Mr.. Bowling gave a brief account
of the struggles of the early period
of his life. citing many of the OBJ
stacles and handicaps which he had
to overcome. He spoke strongly
against making the disabled soldier
| subject of public charity, and be-
| lieves in giving them a chance rather
| than placing their welfare upon the
community. The speaker character
lied soldiers homes, as "camoufiaged
poor houses"
Another interesting phase OF Mr.
| Dowling's address was his delineatior
of the similarity between the Irish
and the Hebrew. He showed how
both had for generations been ridi-
culed and made the subject of bur-
lesque on the stage and by the press
He said that the difficulties of both
races had to be met and were over
come. He attributes the success OF
the Jewish race to the teachings
handed down from generation to
generation in Jewish families, The

| himself to be 100 per cent. American,
Rabbi Louis ]. Haas. made a strong
appeal for the Red Cross at the
meeting, suggesting that the very
young as well as the aged enroll.
Let the Greatest Mother in the
World embrace all of you, young and
old, men, women and children" said
the rabbi. He also offered a prayer
of thanks for the safe landing of
President Wilson, and asked the di-
vine guidance and wisdom in his de-
liberations at the peace table.
