ANSWERING THE k!CkERS

chaplain who has been with the boys
cover there" He writes this letter
to the father of one Of the boys who
is now in France. 81 had the Measure
Of meeting and talking with your
son. He gave me your address that
l might write you. He is nicely To-
Gated and in fine health. He with
other soldier boys, has plenty to wear
and to eat and is safely sheltered
Our government is doing everything
possible to safeguard the health an,
morals Of our boys in France, and
they are the best cared-for soldiers
in the world"
Senator James, of Kentucky, who
read this letter, in the United States
Senate, made this comment:
"There the minister Of God, the
good man who is working among
these boys, brings from France the
news to a Kentucky father that his
boy is with the soldiers of America
there, and that they are the best
cared-for soldiers in the world"
In this same speech Senator James
referring to the charge of inefficiency
in the administration, said: "Tht
United States Treasury, under its
Federal Reserve system stands as
unshakable and secure as the Rocky
Mountains do. Under the old system
n Wall Street rumor would throw the
Nation into a panic. Under this new
system a worlds war does not shake
