Reference to Labor Delegation.

Referring to the American labor dele
cation with which he visited the French
front, NJ. Loyson said:
"In sending over this delegation as
much has been done for the salvation
of France as by Secretary Baker in
dispatching a whole army to our front
Never have our men been in such
high spirit since 1914. but allowance
must be made for a certain nervous
strain at the rear as consequence of
forty-six months of war. Moreover,
this natural phenomenon has been de-
liberately exploited by a small number
of perverted persons. who advocate a
patched-up peace. For a whole week
these politicians have made desperate
pressure on the American delegates to
bring them around to the idea Of a
conference with the Germans.
But you cannot compress American
steel. Much the reverse. The Ameri-
cans have strengthened the backs Of
the war-weary and have caused the de-.
featists to hide their faces.''

THINKS THE PRESIDENT
SHOULD VISIT EUROPE
Paris Editor Calls American Execu-
tive Supreme War Lord for
Peace by Victory"

PARIS, May ia visit to Europe
| by President Wilson. "as our supreme
war lord for peace by victory" may
bring the final decision in the war, says
Paul Hyacinthe Loyson. editor Of the
Rights Of Man, In a statement prepared
for the Associated Press concerning
the American labor delegation which
has just completed its visit to France.
NJ. Loyson attaches the greatest i'm
portance to the moral support given
by America to France, which feels the
strain Of nearly four years of war. He
states that the action of the socialists,
who assured the Americans they would
have no part in an international social
list conference in which representa-
tives of enemy countries participate,
was Of deepest significance.
Political Result "Unparalleled."
"A political result Of unparalleled
Importance was achieved when all the
healthy sections of the socialist par
ties rallied to the cause of American
labor in waving their former accept
ance of the plan for a conference with
enemy socialists" NJ. Loyson writes.
This is the greatest political event
in Europe since the Russian revolution.
America must continue and intensity
such normal support, for of what avail
could be your huge American Army on
our front if there were faltering at
your rear; If France. which Is your
battlefield, should crumble morally
under your feet? The psychological fac
tor in the war is Of paramount i'm
portance, for this is essentially a
spiritual, yea, a religious contest You
must help US to win our moral verdun.
The time may come when the final de-
cision will be made sure by a personal
visit of President Wilson to the con-
tinent as our supreme war lord for
peace by victory"

Double Effect Of Economy

When an American citizen instead
of spending 500 for something he
wants, denies himself and lends the
money to the Government he per-
forms a double service.
First, he furnishes the Govern
ment with S100 to use in the prose
cution of the war;
Second, he has relieved to the ex-
tent of 500 the drain on our"gcods
and services; that is, materials and
labor. To make the article or arti-
cles he would have bought, or to
manufacture others to take their
place in the market, would require
materials and labor. In addition, to
get the articleto him labor and
freight space would be required. By
doing without the article, he has left
free a certain amount of material to
be used for war purposes, a certain
amount of labor to be used in the
same way, and he has also relieved
to certain extent the transportation
facilities of the country.
This may not be much in the indi-
vidual case, but when the hundreds
of thousands and millions of Ameri-
cans pursue this course it means
millions and millions of dollars
loaned the Government, tremendous
quantities of materials left for uses
of the Nation in this war, millions of
hours of labor free to do war work,
and vast amount of freight space
free for national uses.
These sacrifices are easy to make :;
are small and trivial compared to
the sacrifices that orr SoldiarS and
sailors make daily while they offer
constantly their lives for their coun-
try, the greatest sacrifice of all

service button would be awarded to

bers of the club, membership being
secured by subscription to one or

sued in denominations of fifty dollars
and upwards, and bear interest at
the rate of IA per cent, and be
redeemable at the end of ten years,
and were not collectable before that
time.
The meeting was an unusually en-
thusiaStic one, and it was the senti-
ment of all present that this is the
time for every American citizen to
show his or her colors; not only this,
but every citizen will be called upon
TO do so

Letter From Dorchester
Boys at Camp Meade
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Inst a line from a couple OF sam
mics. We have been in Camp gong
| or five months. and our experience
have been very varied indeed. IL
would take several volumns TO give
| a fun description c. our four-mon-
| tbs life here.
/ our company is the outpost com
pany of the Signal Battalion. where
they say the average life on the fir
ing line is only few seconds, put
that doesn't worry the boys of Com
pany c. At full strength. our COM
nanv has about $50 men. \ great
aer"entase CT our men are college
men. or have technical knowledge.
We have but four fellows from the
Eastern SuUle.
our training mas been very mte.:-
siNa since we came in bleak Decem-
Der We have very rigid course IN
| radio. biography, electrical engl-
neermS. LIap reading, codes, ana

We have a. least five hours day in
school and field work, and 10 make
il more interesting, We have written
examinations every month. The ell
listed men act as instructors. w
have both been acting in that ca
pacity for three months.
There is also other work, known
as fatigue Worh-which needs COM
ment, as every soldier is very much
interested in the daily detail list.
The detail which is loved the least
of all others is kitchen police. 1t
seems 10 the unfortunate one that
the cooks try to dirty all the pots
and pans in camp. 1t takes about
week to over a one-day dose OF X.
P. After a few times in the kit
chen, fellow is satisfied that he
has done his bit. -
We have also learned to use the
banjo and anchor, (Shovel and pick.
We were taught this art when there
was yet a great deal of frost in the
ground, and when the earth seemed
to be minus the force of gravity be-
cause the frozen earth resisted all
efforts of the pick with little diff
Guilty. We have had experience in
all kinds of hard labor.
We must be physically fit for the
trenches, as we have been given all
kinds of exercise, a sinking, sleeping
in our dog tents, and can cook our
own meals on an open fire. We are
all very anxious to go over, and will
be very much disappointed if wee
don't get to go soon. Camp life gets
very monotonous. About the only
diversion we have is a letter or
little package from some friend who
is kind enough to think of us here.
The life of a soldier is not all
sunshine, neither do all of the boys
like the life, but | think l am safe in
saying that a very small percentage
would leave the army if given per-
mission to do so, until this war is
over There are many sacrifices, and
at times we are down and out, but
when we reflect and realize that we
are helping to fight the worlds war
for liberty, then we regret we have
but one life to give for our country.
So if we get a chance, and we hope
We will, we wants old Dorchester to
know that she has many loyal sons
who are willing to do their bit on
the front, where the bullets rain fast
and steady at times.

Let George Do 1t

Well. George has done it. When
the call came for men to go to fight
the Hun, George gave up his bust
ness and went in training to become
thoroughly acquainted with modern
warfare. in order that he might
more efficiently handle his gun and
endure the hardSnips OF the tred-
ches and life under the trying con-
ditions which make man life I'M
bearabIe And then when the coun-
try needed two billion dollars, about
this time last year. George TOOK out
a bond, and let part of his thirty per
help the good old L. S. \. TO buy the
things necessary for the country To
get started to make the tight.
In the next call for subscribers,
which was in September, George rea-
lized more than ever the need of
money to feed Ind clothe the troops,
and although he was still in the ser
vice he thought he should do some
thing else to help his Uncle Sam, land
so he subscribed for another bond,
helping the Government raise the
three billion dollars needed. The
next proposition George had to meet
was the subject of insurance, and,
like a true American, he took out
policy in order that his mother and
daddy, deprived of his support be-
cause of the war, might receive
few dollars should he be killed in
the defense of the nation whose
name he bore.
Doesn't it look as if George did
his share? His money, his service,
his life, all for his country, and yet
there are plenty of people who go on
the theory that the men in uniform
are in the war because they have
nothing else to do, and that they will
get along without their support. The
spirit of ''let George do it" has pre-
vailed long enough, and now the
slogan is ''let everybody do it,
The third call has been made for
Liberty Bonds, and the sum of three
billion dollars is needed, and mus;
be subscribed in thirty days. 1t is
time for every man to be up and do
ing. Time lost by us is time gained
by the enemy. Drones and SLOW
pokes must LOOK out or they will be
trampled in the rush. Dorchester
is in the swim, and will continue il
the race until every man and woma ID
Is been apr ehed and appealed T.
lend moi the Government in
the purchase Of bonds. And not only
once, but again and again, until ev-
cry man and every woman in Cam
bridge and Dorchester county, rea-
Lies that this is their war, and are
willing to lend their money instead
of shifting the responsibility on
George.
A large crowd attended the Lib
erty Loan meeting last night and
enthusiasm and patriotism ran high,
and everyone of those volunteers ex
pressed a grim determination to see
that there was not a single man or
woman, over the age of twenty-one
years, with any earning capacity,
who would not be impressed with
the Importance of subscribing to
these bonds, not only as the safest
investment in the world, but as their
duty to the young men who have
gone from this town and county.
Don't let George do it. He can
not perform the responsibilities rest
ing on your shoulders. Don't forget |
that this is a drive.

indigestion and constipation. Food
distressed her and there was a feel
