Write Out American Expeditionary Force"

The Home Service Section of the American Red Cross recently receiv-
 ed a letter from the bureau of com

In this letter it was suggested that the information be passed on to the families who had men in the service in the American Expeditionary Force to be sure to write out those words in full when addressing mail to the boys. Con siderable confusion has evidently arisen when the initials only are used, for the mail has then sometimes gone to the Australian Expeditionary Force and much time is therefore lost in

This class cares nothing for humanity
or the happiness Of peoples. 1t cares
only for itself.
Since the German government
wanted war, would not have peace
and still is as autocratic and imperial"
istic az ever, we must fight it until the
end. We must completely discreols
the war business. The only way to
bring about its defeat is by force. Inc
Germans cannot be talked 10 deteat'

their country.
When the German government sllau
admit defeat, 1t will admit the failure
of the most ambitious attempt 20 WIN
By might what was not its own by
right, and all its forty years OF prePa"
ration will have brought only the hu"
initiation Of the most costly failure
ever known. Such defeat ought TO
digcredit such a governmsnt with KS
own people, particularly when they
finally understand the unselhsh aims
of their enemies. A new Germany
ought to evolve from the wreck, with
an enlightened government, which Wall
remove the last shades Of medieval
railitarism and assist in the creation
of a world government that VIII re"
duce the necessity of all defensive
uailitarism to minimum.
Thus our huge army and those OF
the Entente Aliies are fighting TO de-
feat militarism in its most sinister
form in order that It shall not con-
tintse to be a menace to the peace OF
the world. Once German mfhtarism
has been completely discTedited, then
the cause for our huge armament viii

Such a future, with colossal war costs
even in times Of peace, cannot even be

"You say we are fighting to defeat
rnilitarism, Prussian militarism, well.
are we not creating in America, as
well as the countries of France and
England, gigantic miiitarism our
selves7"
The speaker was a private at Camp
Devens who was anxious to clear his
mind on the reasons he wore a uni
form. Someone, somewhere, had tried
to confuse him. Every serious CUES
tion deserves a serious answer and
this particular one keeps recurring
frequently wherever the issues OF the
war are discussed.
II 10 true we are creating a mighty
army that we expect to be more
mighty than the forces of Germany.
It Is true that France and Britain are
each striving by every means to be
more powerful in the use OF force than
the troops Of the Kaiser. AS armies
mean rnilitaTisn we are creating a
rniiitarism more gigantic than the
PruSsiaa.
II is the purpose Of nilitarisn and
not iyailitarisrp itself that makes the
great distinction between the Allies
and the Germans. Il IS not the weapon
that Is the murderer but the man who
uses that weapon, 1t is not the axe
that fellS tree but the woodsmaa. 1t
is not the locomotive that drives the
train but the engineer.
Militarisrp is merely the instrument
and it is the use or abuse of the in
strugnsnt that makes il an evil. When
we speak Of Prussian miiitarism, we
are talking about ideas, not arHs. We
mean lust for conquest, ambition 70
dominate the world, shaekiing small
nations to a whipping post. We mean
all the evil purposes for which the
German army was so greatly enlarged
and It Is TO prevent that army from
carrying out those purposes Of its
leaders that we are sighting. Because
