Harold F. Trask of Pennington
who injured one of his eyes while in
training several months ago, is still
at Spartansburg. S. c.. where he is
being treated by a specialist from
New York, and is still under pay in
/ the army. His eye seems to he i'm
proving a good deal, and ii is believed
! by the surgeon that a cataract Is
forming as result of the injury. and
that in time this can be removed by
operation and the sight of the eve
will be restored and he can remain in
the service. His discharge papers
have been made out but are being
withheld in the hope that he will re
cover his sight. and they will not
have to be used at all.

progress from babyhood to manhood,

with books and lunch box to school,
waved him good luck as he set forth
to join his regiment, only to lose lin

camp or trenches?
OF course we know that there are
those who are neither too old to en-
list nor too infirm for acceptance.
who are willing that others should
fight for them. We know there are
those who have sons and who will
prevent those sons from entering the
service of country il possible. But
neither Of these is a smaller unit in
world affairs than Is the man too old
to go and who has no son and who
for those reasons has no Interest"
In this conflict Of Right resisting
Might.
Could the war last LONG enough;
could it be BRUTAL enough, and
could it come NEAR enough, to "in-
terest such people?
Yes, if it came to a stage where
their private interests were in dan
ger: where their accumulations were
worth no more to them than are
those of the hand to- mouth citizen;
where their own government or the
enemy should take possession Of all
for the common good or the common
i'll. then they would be interested"
and would join their fellow Ameri-
cans, and the allied heroes Of Brit
ain, France. Belgium and Italy in
common defense.
What a world this would be. if all
the patriots and love- inspired peo-
Piles should give themselves for the
cause of humanity. and only the
slackers, pacifists and not inter
ested" were left.
Those of us who ARE interested
find some way in which to be active
against a monster of greed that has
made a grab at all the power and
wealth of the world. We would de-
feat the purpose Of Selfishness su-
preme. And those Of us who are NOT
interested are actuated by the same
motive as the monster self1shness.
If America and the allies are de-
feated In the struggle, it will be be-
cause Of greed behind our own lines
of defense. No other power on earth
can defeat us but greed, and we are
convinced that the Supreme Control
has suffered this war and it's destruc-
ton Of innocents for the overthrow Of
Greed-greed that has prospered on
the growth of intelligence, the de-
velopment Of luxuries and the revela-
tons of the wand Of gold.
The greed Of profiteering, while
millions Of human beings are in the
clutch of famine: the greed that
counts fair gain before service
while the noblest boys Of earth offer
their lives after unlimited hardship;
the greed that boards its comforts
while one tenth the people Of the
earth suffer for necessities-in all
these we find the menace Of defeat.
Some of us offer the excuse Of
vision Of the poor house just ahead.
but with the present tendency it will
be more of a disgrace to be caught
rich than to stand convicted Of pow
erty, when the world conflict is
ended.

OUR BOYS
-'- Write from
OV Err THE r E

Horace Webb, a former member of
the Colonial Theater orchestra, Au-
gusta. writes to Ernest r. Hill, AZ
Bangor street, Augusta, as follows:
No. 10 Cay. Hut,
18th London Regt.,
London Command Depot,
Shoreham- Sea,
Sussex. England.
March IS, 1918.
Dear Old Ernie:
Many thanks for your letter which
received yesterday and ! can't tell
you how pleased l was to hear from
you.
Your letter certainly made me wish
was back in America and | would
give a lot to be back in Augusta at
the present time. The last letter |
wrote you was in July, 1916. | also
sent you a field post card last year
from France. but apparently you did
not receive it,
AS you can see by my address I am
once more in Merry England in
convalescent camp about six miles
from Brighton. and very thankful to
be out of things for the present.
l went to France in Augusta, 1916,
and took part in the Somme offensive,
Arras, Ypres and Cambria. Our
Bait. went over the top four times
but every time l was lucky enough to
get through without scratch. Last
November just when ] was expecting
to get leave. all leave was stopped
and we made an attack on Cambria.
The first day of the attack we got
into his front line and held it for
three days. Everything went well
until the third night. While we were
! waiting to be relieved a SO shell
came over and buried me. When |
was pulled out l found my left hand
was about twice its normal size and
of course | couldn't use it, | stuck to
the Bait. until we got out and then
! reported to the medical officer.
| The conclusion had broken one of
the bones of the hand and twisted
the muscles, between the thumb and
forefinger.
This happened on the 10Th Nov.
and I got across to England Dccem-
Der 18th. | really thought at the
time that l should never be able to
play the fiddle again. but l was put
on massage treatment three weeks
ago and my hand is getting quite
normal again.
! am having a fine time here. We
have practically nothing to do and
can get down to Brighton or Havre
every night
| l don't know how long ] shall be
here but as my experiences in France
strained my heart a bit | have hopes
OF staying here quite long time.
You may be pleased to know that
while in the trenches had greatness
thrust upon me and am now Il fully
fledged corporal.
Shall write you again next month
and shall try and send you a photo
graph of myself.
When you write again as am sure
you will, you had better address it to
my home address which is now j.
! Berthwin St. Cathedral I'd, Cardiff
| | think | had better wind this
cpistle up now hut shall look forward
to hearing from you again in the
near future.
| Remember me to all the old friends
at the Colonial and tell them | shall
be back in Augusta as soon as the
war is finished. if it ever does finish.
Give my kindest regards to Mrs
Hill and accept same for yourself and
all the best wishes of
Your old friend.
