Mr.. Boehper's Patriotism.

Council Bluffs, Ia, March 11.-To
the Editor of The Bee: In your head
liner report OF recent Gate of the ar
raignment Of L. w. Boehner of Nal
vern, Ia, before Judge Wade there is
SO much of the report untrue that in
spirit Of justice ! wish to say that
whoever wrote the article was not
well informed-did not even know the
initials Of his name.
Mr.. Boehner is an American born
citizen of English parents and no one
in Malvern ever thought of him as
the wealthiest citizen of his town. or
among the wealthiest, az, although do
ing large volume Of business, he is
of quite moderate circumstances. He
has lived in Malvern for nearly so
years, and has at all times been loyal
to his home town and at the head of
any enterprise for the betterment of
its people. l have had a personal ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Boehner for 40
years. Lived neighbor to him for 20
years, and | never thought he was
not a good citizen, although / hardly
ever agreed with his politics. He has
adherence of war and was about the
strongest campaigner for President
Wilson in the country, fully believing
in the slogan, He will keep us out
Of war" His disappointment was so
keen when war was declared that he
renounced the democratic party, but
no man realizes more fully than he
that we are at war and must fight it
through-and no man in Malvern, l
dare say, will give more freely accord
ing to his means than Mr.. Boehner
The idea of him being German or
pro-German to anyone near Malvern
would seem a joke, but your report
to go among strangers would create
an unfair impression.
/ have no faith in the story Of
Driving the draft officers off with a
shot gun," or his attack on the Red
Cross.
Mr.. Boehner has engendered some
animosity, as any public-spirited man
will, and some of it is cropping out
but l consider him more patriotic
than some who are proclaiming their
patriotism from the house tops.

OUR FIGHT.

Louisville Courier-Journel.

A mans fighti
What do you intend to do?
Are you going to sit Just IDLY oy,
Or going to see It through?
It's your fight and my fight,
A battle for right 'gatnst wrong
To uphold the weak
Against those who seek
To enslave because they are strong.
This is your fight! $500.
Woman's fight!
What do you intend to do?
Friyol and waste, over novels pore
While your sister fights disease and gore
It's your fight and my fight,
They need your helping hand
To knit and save
To stitch and pave
The way to peaceful land.
It's humanity's fight
For posterity's right,
No matter where you are born,
North or South, East or West,
Shady vale or mountains crest;
It's your fight, it's our fight
For the millions who yet may sail,
That on this earth
Which gives them birth
The cause of right prevail.

With Trotzky at the head of one new fevou-

Russia continue in that delightful state of disor-

Germany is denuding the land Of all things eat
able, which means sooner or later the peasants
must begin to use the soil they covet or somebody
will have to 60 hungry. Herein is apparent the
surest solution of the Russian problem.

Smoke Fund
Touches Heart
Of DOughbOys

Ono OF the many letter received
from France, written by an American
soldier who has received one of the
tobacco kits sent u by the "Our
Boys In France Tobacco Fund"-con-
trfbutions for which are being re-
tells of the pleasure with which the
presents are received by his fellow
doughboys. The scheme of supply
ing them with tobacco Is proving that
the folks back home" are thinking
of them and will not let them want.
The writer Of this letter referred to
above declares In closing that W
WIN not leave the war zone other
than victors"
His letter follows:
American Expeditionary Forces.
Dear Samaritans:
As / am one of the many recipients
OF your tobacco donation I will do my
best to write you some of my expert
ences and to give you my view Of the
tobacco fund idea.
To begin with, let me say hat you
could not have hit on a better scheme
here. I believe that / can safely say
that ct least ninety per cent of the
men in the Army use tobacco In some
form, and we nave found, to our sor-
row. that good tobacco is very hard
to buy In France. 1t Ia not very hard
to buy French and English tobacco
and cigarettes, but we have found
that 1t does not measure UP to the
American standard. To prove this q
man has only to offer a French SOL
der some American tobacco and he
will gladly accept 1t and they will
change with us at any time we make
them the offer. Your idea is the best
eve and we can never repayy you for
your kindness and thoughtfulness. It
Is really q Godsend.
I am very sorry that I am unable
70 give you an account of ell of our
many and varied experiences since
we sailed from the States. 10 outline
all these experiences and sights would
be taking toe big q risk, for should
the letter fall into the hands of the
enemy 1t would be valuable informa-
ton TO him. so I must leave out our
dates, names Of places, ships and
army numerals. To begin at the be-
ginning:

FULFILLED A PROPHECY

A deep impression has been
caused thruout Palestine, notes
a correspondent of the Christian
Science Monitor, by what the
inhabitants of the country re-
gard as the fulfillment of ancient
prophecy. 1t will be remembered
that the kaiser made a spec
tacular entry. into Jerusalem in
1898. riding thru a hole in the
city wall. At that time the an
cient prophecy was unearthed to
the effect that the real deliverer
of Jerusalem would enter the
city on foot. The British gen.
eral, Allenbyr entered the city
on foot. Also the name of the
deliverer would combine "alla"
or'god, and "nabi" which means
prophet. Gen. Allenby's name
is considered everywhere in Pal
estine to be that combination,
and the apparent fulfllment of
the -old prophecy has caused
general comment.
