a sudden attack of influenza which
took him while he was on furlough
of 40 hours, On account of his at
tack of illness, Seaman Cox was un-
able to get back to the barracks on
time and stories gained currency in
Putnam and the Woodstocks. where
he is well known, that he was wanted
as a deserter
Seaman Cox is an enlisted man.
He was not only willing but anxious
to serve his country, SO enlisted in the
United States navy 1t should be
made known that there was nothing
to the story of his desertion and the
true facts be told
Seaman Cox went TO Camp Wyssa=
hucken barracks. Cape May On No
vember oath he was given a forty
three hour pass and went to Mount
Vernon, n. y, to call ON friends.
While there he was attacked by in
fluenza and doctor was summoned.
The doctor ordered Seaman Cox to
go to bed and stay there His case
became serious and it was not until
December 4th, when still in weak
condition. that he was allowed to re-
turn to camp. When the case was
made known to the commanding Off
Ger, young Cox was readily excused
for overstaying his time.
These facts should set at rest and
stop all stories that would cast any
reflection on this patriotic young
man. Those who know him have not
believed from the start that he was
not performing his full duty as sea

SHOULD NOT BE
DISCRIMINATION
Soldiers Who Did Not Get to
France Are AS Deserving of
Nations Praise AS Those
Who Did.
Secretary of War Writes That All
Served Their Country and Should
Be Treated Alike

There has been discrimination of
an unpleasant sort made between
those of our soldiers who were lucky
enough TO take part IN action at the
front, and those that the signing of
the armistice still found in camps
throughout this country, according to
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker.
The secretary's views upon this sub
ject are contained in letter written
by him recently and sent to the Off
cials of the Soldiers Sailors and Ma
rines' club of the National League for
Women's Service, New York city. The
letter, in which Mr.. Baker urges that
all men who have worn the uniform
be treated equally. and equally hon
ored, and that discrimination be done
away with, follows:
Il am writing to you. as club di-
rector of the Soldiers, Sailors and
Marines club of the National League
for Woman's Service, in the hope that
can through you convey to the
soldiers, sailors and marines who
take advantage of the opportunities
of the club, my hope that they will aid
me in creating a correct spirit to-
ward those who have served their
country in the present war.
1.-The full strength of the United
I States was put forth and a vast army
of soldiers and sailors was sent over
seas, where they performed heroic
services, and from where they will be
shortly returning in large numbers.
They will bring with them the inspir-
alton of their great undertaking, and
the attitude of the country toward
them should be and will be one of
grateful and affectionate welcome.
I'm addition to those who went
overseas, however, there were great
numbers of young men in training for
overseas service, and of men and Off
GERS in the military establishments who
were needed here, either as instruct
ors or to carry out the military tasks
in this country. upon which the eff
cheney of our army abroad necessar-
/ lily depended. They have given as
/ loyal and patriotic service as those
who went abroad, but have been de-
MED what their hearts were set upon
an opportunity to serve on the field
of battle.
There ought to be no discrimina-
ton against them by reason of the ac-
cidents of fortune which retained
