they return from the battlefields OF
France they will hold fast and firm to
their temperance principles"
The Rev. NJ. F. Corrigan, OF Scranton,
Pa, was speaking-speaking on a sub

ested and conversant At Camp Lee he

religious activities, and few men in the
country are more familiar with the spir-
itual and moral side of our boys In
khaki
AS a religious and moral adviser he
has met thousands OF soldiers since the
organization of the National Army. and.
regardless of their religious leanings
and church Affiliations, has proved a
sincere friend to all.
Life Stories Rival Fictional Fancy
A small room, devoid Of fancy finish
and elaborate furniture. has been set
aside for his use in one corner of the
central X. of C. building. and in that
room Father Corrigan meets the boys.
Life stories that rival the fiction of De
Foe and other masters of human emo
tions have been poured into his ears, and
TO each one he has listened attentively.
After ALL" says Father Corrigan,
our soldier boys are good, but many
have drunk heavily at the fountain OF
sorrow and misery"
The priest gazed out Of his window
and across an open field. to where a
batch of raw rockies were being given
the first lesson In soldering. What a
fine crowd of men," he added, as he
watched the newcomers wrestle with the
fundamentals of their new life.
Turning abruptly from the window,
Father Corrigan gave his rough board
table n vigorous slap and with the en-
thusiasm that marked the activities OF
the raw recruits drew a severe indict-
ment against booze.
"I have found" began the priest, ''that
the morals of our men in camp are in
fnitely better than one will find in civil
life and I have also found that it. is
due largely to the absence Of booze.
Keep booze away from any body OF
men and you will have but little trouble

of nearly every evil. I say that after

booze but, happily, they are through

Army Life Free From Temptation
I'm the army they have been removed
from the temptation anG have had ample
time tor reflection. And this has led
thenr to make strong resolutions for the
future. Having had time to think OF
their troubles and study the degrading
effect of booze they have decided to gel
along without it. l am quite certain

against the government, the United
States senate is the only court in which
he can be tried and that august body

trial, and II 1t finds him guilty, il should
expel him from that body. If, on the
other hand, he has committed no Of
Tense against the government, and in
an unbiased investigation 1T is found
that he has done nothing that disqual-
ifies him as a senator or a patriotic
citizen, the United States senate should
say so and the public trial of Senator

Drastic food saving plans suggested

Walcott said that his purpose in

out that sacrifice should begin with
those who have something to save, for

OATS REMAIN STRONG

Chicago. H.. Feb. 4.-Enlarged re-
did a good deal to ease corn prices to-
day after some gains had been scored
as result of severe low temperatures
and owing to a dearth of peace news.
The market closed steady at the same
as Saturdays finish to a shade lower,
with March. s1.27 and May, $1.24K.
The outcome In oats was also virtually
unchanged, but for provisions varied
from five cents decline to a rise of
seven cents.
Cold flinders Action.
Although arctic conditions in Illi-
nois and eastward greatly rendered de-
livery of corn, conditions elsewhere
especially in Missouri and Iowa, were
fairly good. AS consequence pri-
exceeded to material extent the cor
responding total a year ago. Before
this fact was known. however. bulls
had an advantage as receipts here
were disappointing. and the drift Of
foreign advices appeared decidedly
more warlike than many traders last
week had expected. Forecasts of
warmer weather counted though
against any radical advance, and pre-
pared the way for slight downturns
which took place during the last half
of the session.
Railway congestion, increases Of
western stocks largely offset the effect
of higher quotations on hogs.

SONGS OF THE WAR

THE songs that are being sung about this
- war of ours are more interesting in a
way than the more ambitious poetry of
the occasion. The lyrics that you hear
everywhere nowadays are frankly doggerel.
They are unpretentious. They seldom
aspire above a tinkle. OF the glory and
magnitude of this new great adventure of
our spirit they have little or no sugses.
ton. But the people like these songs and
the soldiers like them. They must have
hidden meanings somewhere. In Europe
and on the fighting front the favorite song
of our soldiers is still The Battle Hymn
of the Republic" with its heroic rhythm
and lines Of majestic prophecy. But that
is in France. The reactions of the folk at
home are different and perhaps even sub
tier. Nothing happens without cause. II
the less pretentious war songs are the
most popular, there must be a reason
somewhere.
1t may be that the poets of Tin Pan
Alley, to whom we have left the task Of
setting the war to words and music might
be able to teach some unforgettable truths
to those writer's and composers who know
more of forms and the English language
and less Of life itself than they. The newer
war songs, to begin with are simple, di.
rect, explicit. They tell of goings away
and comings back; Of longings and farea
| wells; Of love and promise. Little houses
are thick in the summer crop Of war songs
Mothers are glorifed. There are dusty
roads and long journeys; peril, hope. cour-
age, triumph.
Now. these things suggest very inti-
DnateIy the basic concerns NJ maplipd
They are linked inevitably in those adven-
lures of the mind and spirit that are the
common inheritance Of all sorts and con-
ditions Of people. Every one has said fare
