TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD

The attitude that organized
labor should take in the Mooney
case, now that the convicted
murderer of innocent women and
children has had his sentence
to death committed to imprison-
ment for life by d supine govern
or, Is that which should be taken
by all honest and patriotic eiti-
zens, a regret that a cold-blood-
ed murderer should escape his
just deserts and be allowed to
live and be a standing menance
to industrial peace in our country.
Now, that he is safe from the
hangman's moose, Mooney shows
himself in his true colors. He
says, II would rather hang than
be condemned to a living grave. Z"
He played his cards true to the
game and won the stakes, but
the cowardly assassin of women
and children, does not mean
what he says. He would try now
to be labor's martyr, when in
truth he betrayed labor. He will
now appeal to labor to continue
its efforts to set him free and
labor will still have the Mooney
case, like it had the McNamara's,
to embroil their. organization in
all kinds of trouble until truth
triumped.
We can imagine this arch con-
spirator OF a terrible tragedy
laughing in his sleeves, now that
he is sure of escaping the just
penalty of his crime.
Why not take Mooney at his
word and hang him and end his
"living grave"

DEAREST FOLKS AT HoME::-A
few lines tonight to say | am
well and very happy as this old
war is now over and the fighting
has stopped, and the next thing
on the program will be the big
trip home.
Won't it be grand if it only
starts real soon, but, of course,
| don't expect to get back before
the Fourth of July.
The French have sure been
celebrating since the Germans
signed the armistice, shooting
heavy artillery of all kinds,
drums beating and bugles blow
ing. They are very happy, but
we are rather tickled ourselves
and imagine the folks at home
are also celebrating.
Well, mamma, with love to all,

HUN DEVILTRY

German deviltry seemed to
know no bounds in the last days
of the fighting on the British
front after the Hindenburg line
had been shattered. They attach
ed grenades to the bodies of dead
Huns left behind in the German
retreat, so that when the bodies
were lifted the grenades explod-
ed, killing or wounding the bear
erS.
Near the town of LIE Chateau,
a number of Americans were kill
ed by these grenades in attempt
into remove some German dead
from the field in front of an
American machine gun position.
Thereafter no Australian would
put hand on a dead German. In
some cases the bodies were drag
ged to their burial places by
means of long rope which al
lowed the strecher bearers to
keep out of range of exploding
hand grenades.
The Americans, on the other
hand, hit upon the plan of maxi
ing the German prisoners bury
their own dead. In one instance
a boche prisoner Was summarily
shot because he refused to remove
the body of one of his dead COM
panions. An examination of the
body later led to the discovery
that it was mined. The German
was aware of this fact and re-
fused to touch it.
In one small town evacuated
by the Germans. many of the
beds were found to be mined. An
American officer, tired and worn
by a long and hard fight, sought
rest on a lounge in a room pre-
viously occupied by a German
officer. The lounge blew up and
he was instantly killed.
Another officer picked up a
pair of field glasses left by the
Germans and was adjusting the
focus when the glasses exploded
in his hands and blew away a
part of his face.
The Huns had become adept
in the nefarious business of
making internal machines, mines
and time fuses and there was
scarcely an area where the elec-
trical and engineering experts
of the allies did not find some
new form of their flendish inge-
'nuity.
