Soldiers Now Get Mail

Let us hope those boys who died

held-up letters had reached them be
fore the battle
Explanation of long delays in deliv-
cry of mail to New England men in
the 26th Division, in France, was given
Tuesday by Second Assistant Post
master General Otto Prayer to Repre-
sentative Rogers, who for weeks has
been endaavoring to obtain an i'm
provement in the soldiers mai, service.
Senator Weeks also has been active in
the matter. This secrecy, said Mr..
Prayer, had been maintained for
w eeks, until five carloads of mail for
New England soldiers had accumulat-
ed. He explained that it is now being
delivered. Is it any wonder that par
ents, wives and friends are receiving
letters asking: why don't you write -
"Ptiless publicity" seems to have
been twisted into pitiless secrecy.

YOUR COVENANT WITH DEATH
SHALL BE ANNULLED AND
YOUR AGREEMENT WITH HELL
SHALL NOT STAND WHEN THE
OVERLOOKING ScoURGE SHALL
PASS IhRu."-lSAIAH.

The "ovcrflowing scourge' has passed
over Russia, just as it has passed
over Belgium and Serbia.
And our covenant with death still
binds and throttles.
What is that covenant and that
agreement: 1t is that we will win this
war, IL we can without disturbing the
traffic in beer. We will make the most
Of our labor, except that we will waste
some Of it in making beer instead OF
feeding furnaces. We will save our
food. except we will rot some of it
to do service to Hindcnburg. We will
tag our shovcls and save coal, except
that the millions of bushels used to
manufacture poisonous drink may be
wasted.
We could not help the folly and
treason of Russia. But we might have
forestalled it by winning the war be-
fore the disaster came. Do not take
our word for it. Listen to Lloyd
George: 1--WE are fighting Germany,
Austria and Drink and the greatest Of
these deadly foes is drink" Divide
our task into three parts and the great
est part is the Drink we must yield to
at home. II the allies had faced diff
f1ultirc fun Sc
would not the war have been won be-
fore Russia dropped out and went
under? There is no doubt of it
Drink, says Lloyd George, is more
than a third of our difficulties.
The simple truth is that we, the
allied forces of civilization, have fore
seen and provided for everything but
unfavorable developments in the sit,ia-
ton. If Russia had stayed, we would
have won. IF this and If that But
II we had put forth our full strength
VIC would have had margin Of power
topping any possible adverse develop
ment.
We have preferred to keep the beer
and take chance. Possibly" we
say, we are SO much stronger than
Germany that we can beat her even
with this German milestone. the brew
cry, about our nccks." Meanwhile,
Germany has stopped the brewing Of
beer.
The German assault upon humanity
is the first time that He'll has attacked
mankind in the mass. Heretofore
evil has besieged the individual souls
Of men. Now it proposes to transfer
headquarters to the earth establish
capital at Berlin and rule mankind by
the laws of kultur. Christianity stands
for love and mercy, good faith and
honesty, justice and freedom and
beauty. Hell stands for hate and
lying, for cruelty and treachery. for
dishonesty and injustice. So does Ger
many. Through her. Hell proposes to
Justify wrong. make it dominant over
right, make it RIGHT.
That is the issue. And we paIter
with it. We gamble with Il. We take
changes with it.
1t is no time to talk peace. 1t is
not even the proper time to talk war.
We should think war and act war.
nothing but war, without regard to
the extent of effort demanded, with

without regard to the time needed to
