 Il have fbec1 vDond erimg wfatft speak about this' afternoon. know very lit- I tles about Esuntery. About the only l time I have used a gun is when ! [ EhayeFtEiea a7rifie on a flock of ducks Fand if there were many 1of them and theyf camernsar enough. might bring | tone Of them down My snaYy HKperi- ence has been limited to sailboat,, tanA thus far II have been able to get fback home without swimming. What are we in this war for? Why Edid we enter it? We took one insult Efromr Germany, and we overlooked it; EtheR another insult and yet others fwGre given aH1tn the decree camegfrom IiGermany' that wye could send across t but one ship a week. They said; Thus i:far; and, no Ffarther and we entered
 the war. It is hard ito understand why f the GeEmars can perpetrate such aw- 'f'ful deeds A company of. American Esoldiers would not for a moment think tof, ~HaEching Swannen and children iahead of them that they might become Ia screen for them. I visited Germany several years since. and I noticed that I the ohndren never E play. The whole i-teaching in Germany is just the pppo- l-site Of, ours. T VT " T President Wilson has said that there
 is ira difference in ltlle attitude of the
 lfaders of Germany and the common A7peqple inHEegard+ to ttfis war, but am
 about convinced that the leaders and
 the people, are one in attitude, and that attitude is the opposite to what we stand0 foryv We are fighting for
 deTnecracy and for bratherhoed.
 We also have another fight on our 4 handS,r and that fight Is for character l and it is an individual fight. It gill 4take just as much courage and stam
 ina, to fight Ftais hattie as it will to fight the battle lover there.".
