Suppose the soldier had questioned

in my dealings with the Belgian peas
ants-pretending was deaf and
dumb-might possibly have worked
here, too, but q soldler-a German
soldier-might not 30 easily have been
fooled. It was more than an even
chance that 1t would have at least
aroused his suspicion and resulted In
further investigation. A search Of
my clothing would have revealed q

lished my identity and all my sham

me nothing.

to which I expected to be subjected.

sible for me to enter the city that
night, I saw In the distance what ap'
peared to be an arc light, and as

to be. Beneath the light ! could

Director Campbell Urges

Directors for the Northern division
I of the Red Cross have undertaken a
campaign to cure what General
Pershing has called the worst disease
that is preying upon the American
soldiers abroad-homesickne
Coler Campbell, director Of mill
tary relief for the division has been
assigned to this particular task. He
has already prescribed the cure and
is asking every member Of the Red
Cross in the four states of the
division to help him in it's applica-
ton.
General Epidemic.
Scores of letters from the men at
the front and in camps and canton
ments in this country, whose writers
are all suffering from the same dis
ease of the men away from home,
have come pouring into the Northern
division office. From these letters
Mr.. Campbell has diagnosed the
malady and determined upon its
cure. Letter writing, he says, will
do more to Danish inconsistencies from
our army camps than all the supplies
and medicines and garments that the
Red Cross can rush across the ocean.
Time and again letters have come
to the attention of division head
quarters workers, all telling the same
story. Army officers have described
the long lines of waiting men that
form con the day the mail comes.
Fine men, big men, rough and in
different men, standing in line, some
times for more than an hour, break
down and weep without self-control
when they see the last letter passed
and not a word for them.
They speak about it afterward
around the camp fire. Not a soul at
home they say, with enough thought
of them to so much as send an old
newspaper. Naturally they think,
What's the use of risking life and
liberty for a bunch at home as
thoughtless as that.
Proposes Better System.
Now Mr.. CampbelPs plan is for an
organized letter writing system
through the Red Cross. Chapter and
branch officials are asked to mako a
I list Of the men who have gone from
their own neighborhoods. Then per-
sons will be selected to write at
least once a week to each man. The
plan is to get neighbors and ac-
quaintanCes Of the men enlisted, not
relatives, to write.
Relatives, Mr.. Campbell SAYS, are
writing. 1t is the other letters. let

Discussed Three Topics.
He preached last evening on the
general topic Of amusements. dividing
his topic under three heads: the
Tragedy Of the Theater'', the Curse
OF Cards, and the Dance Of Death"
Referring 10 the first part Of his sub
iect he read from dramatic reviews
and criticisms as 20 the conception
which they had OF the theateT. its
evil influences and its effect upon
both actor and attendant. He called
the attention Of his hearers TO the
fact that he was quoting the words
and opinions Of others rather than
expressing his own views. His con-
clusiOn was that no Christian could
justify theater going from any
measurement OF essential things in
living the life which Christ taught.
He differentiated between the thea
ter and the moving picture. stating
his opinion Of the latter that It can
be made a valuable educational fac

proceeded to attack the church men,
