Paris, Tenn.
Dear Daddy: am just as well as
can be and having a good time here.
We have plenty to eat and are in a
good camp. My work is not very
hard and | am contented to do it in
defense of dear old Uncle Sam.
Daddy think as much of you as
any boy could of his Father, and
love home as well, but knowing as
do now how very essential it is that
we fight for the right, freedom and
democracy of the world, | would feel
that it would be disgrace to myself
to be at home now. Don't worry but
what will do my best to be good
soldier for | owe it to you as much
as to myself, for you were such sol
der during the Civil war that you
have never been ashamed of and if
live to return. 1t is just as easy to
do the right thing as the wrong and
alot easier afterwards. Of course
there are a lot of things we don't like
but still it takes these things to make
army life. am glad was not draft
ed, for if ! ever return | will not be
ashamed to tell how | got into the
army.
/ Give my love and best regards tC
i all and write me real soon. Write
me every week even though you dc
not hear from me, for there is moth
ing worth so much to me as a letter
from home and my dear loved ones

Nation Called Upon.

d" have called upon the nation to
put its great energy into this war,
and it has responded, responded with
a spirit and genius for action that
has thrilled the world. / now call
upon it, upon it's men and women ev-
erywhere, to see to it that its laws
are kept inviolate, its fame unfair
nished. Let us show our utter con-
tempt for the things that have made
this war hideous among the wars OF
history by showing how those who
love liberty and right and justice
and are willing to lay down their owr
lives for them upon foreign fields
stand ready also to illustrate to al
mankind their loyalty to the things
at home which they wish to see estab
lished everywhere as blessing ant
protection to the peoples who have
never known the privileges of liber
| ty and self government.
II can never accept any man al
the champion of liberty, either TO
ourselves or for the world, WHO doe
mot reverence and obey the laws 0.
our own beloved land whose laws our
4
selves have made. He has adopted
| the standards of the enemies OF hi
country, whom he affects to despise.

Proud Claim.

1--WE proudly claim to be the cham
rions of democracy. II we really are,
in deed and in truth, let us see to it
that we do not discredit our own
say plainly that every American who
takes part in the action of mob or
gives it any sort of countenance is
no true son of this great democracy,
but it's betrayer, and does more to dis
credit her by that single disloyalty
to her standards of law f.nd of right
than Ire words of her statesmen OF
the sacrifices IF her he. ole boys il,
TIC lre1ches can do to make sulfet
ins rtcl los be, eve her % be their
sacior How shall we commend de.
mocracy to the acceptance of other
peoples if we disgrace our own by
proving that it is, alter all, no pro
Election to the weak. Every mob con
tributes to German lies about the
United States what her most gifted
liars cannot improve upon by the way
of calumny. They can at least say
that such things cannot happen in
Germany except in times of revolu-
fion, when law is swept away
1
Il therefore. sery earnestly aid
sclemnly beg that the governors OF
all the states, the law officers of ey-
cry community, and, above all, the
men and women of every community
in the United States, all who revere
America and wish to keep her name
without stain and reproach, will CO
operate, not passively, merely but
actively and watchfully, to make an
end of this disgraceful evil. 1t can
mot live where the community does
not countenarce it.

would split his head" Kelly denied
