now being made to repeal the
Consumption law, but III is quite
a different proposition now from
what il was before our soldier

Special privilege knew full

got over there. We have. in law
at least, forced them to 20, and
hundreds OF thousands are eE-
pected TO so under that condi-
ton. These boys. or men. as
they are, have responded nobly,

We now owe 20 them our deep

consideration. We are in the
position that special privilege
wants us TO be. II knows We IL

repeal consumption now, with

consideration these soldiers OF
America stationed and soon to
be in battles. on foreign lands.
Whatever We do we must pro- ,
tect them, but we should repeal
the CONSUMPTION Law as soon as
IL can be done with protection TO
those who have been conscripted lis
