CANADIAN SOLDIER SAYS
BOOZE STORY Is A LIE.

F. X. Bemis, who was In Orofino
recently visiting his parents, and
is just fresh from the battle fields
in Europe, where he served three
years with the Canadian forces,
was shown copy of Rev James
Harp'S statements as to the use of
rum in the British army. In his
public talk in Odd Fellows hall in
Orofino Mr.. Bemis said that it was
lie. and that he would not hesi-
tate to tell Rev. Harp, 1.-The Dunk
ard preacher" that if he made the
statement he was liar. MIR. Benz
is explained how, during the winter
and spring months, when the boys
are compelled at times to stand in
ice water and mud and ice and
snow sometimes pocket deep, they
are given ONCE A DAY ONLY A
wine glass of rum, and that under
such conditions it had saved many
lives. g In summer we get no rum
or any other liquor" said Mr.. Benz
is.
Mr.. Bemis has spent three years
in France; has been under fire
many times; has had horses shot
and killed from under him two or
three times; is one of less than ten
to live to tell the tale out of sever
al hundred nf his contingent; he
knows what he is talking about,
and Rev. Harp knows absolutely
nothing about what he has been
talking and preaching about And
yet Rev. Harp refuses to retract a
most malicious. damaging lie that
gives the enemy the greatest COM
fort and aid. Germany is paying
good money to have that kind of
stuff preached and published and
spread in the United States.
The purpose Of such lies is to
weaken the morale of the American
people; to slow down recruiting; to
make as many as possible discour-
aged, and sore at England. 1t Is q
German lie told to catch men like
Rev. Harp whom Germany hopes
will use 1t and spread it. just as
Rev. Harp has done. It's a made
inGermany" lie. But Rev. Harp
has refused to retract it.

reason for our participation In the
war. He shows how Germany has
drowned our citizens. sunk our
ships, intrigued against us, and
outraged our sentiments of right
and humanity by her unspeakable
outrages In Belgium and France,
founded as they are on deliberate
principle and precept. He adds. '.If
we had not fought Germany after
her false and brutal conduct, we
should have been despised by all
the world, including the Germans. "
