MY Dear Senator:
Think you for your letter of
yesterday. 1 am heartily obliged to
your for consulting me about the
court martial bill, as perhaps 1 may
call it for short. 1 am wholly and
. unalterably opposed to such legis-
lation, and very much value the
opportunity you give me to say SO.
q 1 think it is not o>.y unconstitu-
tional but that in character it
would put us nearly upon the level
of the very people we are fighting
and affecting to despise. 1t would
be altogether inconsistent with the
spirit and practice of America and
Iin view of the recent legislation,
the espionage bill, the sabotage bill
and the woman spy bill, think it
Feeling Is Very Deep.
81 take the liberty, my dear sena-
tor, for expressing myself in this
emphatic way because my feeling
is very deep about the matter, as
1 gather your own is.
1T is Admirable the way you
have been handling these important
bills, and 1 thank you with all my
heart for standing by the bill which
bears your name without any COM
promise of any kind.
1T gives me the greatest salts
faction to tell how much 1 have
appreciated what you have been
doing.
Cordially and sincerely yours.

Amount.
Total
plea for Subscriptions.

Typical of the feelings of the aver
age Topeka worker in the third loan,
the following plea for subscriptions by
the public in general was issued by
Burton H Pugh, prominent Topeka
business man:
1.-The soldiers liberty loan is his
life. 1t is more-to him than all the
sold in the world. He sweeps aside
all thought of profit or investment,
all thought of interest or emoluments
and asks no security other than the
security of the homeland under whose
starry emblem he marches away to
war. He gives up every sweet minis
tration, every rare comradeship of
those dear to him at home and goes
out with the courage of self sacrifice
to meet the deadliest foe that ever
stormed at the gates of civilization.
His loan is to the future, that the
world be not swept back into the
nameless miSerieS of the dark ages.
1t is a loan for every disconsolate girl
and every saddened woman in Bel
GUM and France; for every wrecked
hamlet and poison swept field of
Picardy; for every bent and silent
efugee, who with aching heart and
with the red glare of their pillaged
homes on their backs, wend their way
into the bitter night and on into the
blacker night of woe.
1T IS a loan to the end that the
unspeakable crimes of the Hohenzol-
lerns shall be'visited back on their
heads and the despoiled lands be re-
habilitated and restored to their
rightful owners. 1t is a loan to
America that her fair shores be not
transgressed by the blighting breath
OF war, that the fields may bloom and
the children play and the brook muir
/ Elur on to the sea-that her spires
may rise in tranquil security into the
blue heavens, that the fear of God.
the love of honor and justice and
mercy stall stand firm in the hearts
of her people forever.
Whether he die on the field of
heroic combat, or return to our hap
ply shores with the insignia of VIC
toriouS achievement, we can never
repay his loan. There is no specie or
coin of such worth that it can repay
him-who imposes his body in the
path of murderous steel: who forgets
his own life and the joy of living and
strikes with all his strength that his
fair homeland-the citadel of liberty
shall stand serene and secure, the
| hope and safety of the oppressed
peoples of the world,
