Many days have passed since l re-

times since saw many of the Ten

are scattered as it were to the four
winds of the earth. Only two of us
together, Orpha and myself live here

at Commerce, Texas. They were up

very few hours after 'tis known

kinds are today travelling with their

WAR RISK INSURANCE

cause the relatives they named as
beneficiaries have failed to receive
insurance certificates from Washing

Such action is entirely unwarrant-
ed and detrimental to the best inter-
ests of the fighting men and their

Because of delay in receiving in
surance certificates, many soldiers
believe that they. are paying for in

to raise by subscription in the Unit
ed States S170.50O,00O with which
the war welfare work of seven pow
erful organizations, embracing every
creed and denomination, will main
tain their activities for the care and
comort of American fighting men.

In the pulpits of all churches next
Sunday the preachers are asked to
deliver a sermon or talk explaining
the activities of the seven war well
fore organizations and what they
Have done to cheer and comfort the
American sailors, soldiers and ma
rines in the world war. They include
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion, the Young Women's Christian
Association, the National Catholic
War Council knights Of Columbus),
the War Camp Community Service,
the American Library Association,
the Jewish Welfare Board, and the
Salvation Army. This wonderful Or
ganization was welded by the Presi-
dent of the United States and is
working hand in hand in a big, broad
conception OF real duty, real service
to the Americans enlisted in our ar
mics and navies and air squadrons.
AS in the case of the fourth liber-
ty loan campaign, so is this united
war work campaign in the matter of
immense importance. If peace should
come tomorrow, there would be an
even greater need that the work now
in progress by these seven organiza-
tions be maintained. 1t will require
from one to two years., even after
peace is agreed upon, before Ameri-
can troops can be fully withdrawn
rom Europe. Then will come the
vast work of rehabilitating and re-
war torn France.
The Putnam county organization
down to the civil district, town and
neighborhood is to be, completed at
q convention next week at which a
large and representative attendance
Is anticipated. The organization will |
be carried into every community n |
Putnam, with well laid plans for put |
ting this county over the top.

In regard to these essential recu

in interest or divided in purpose. We
stand together until the end.
For such arrangements and cove

continue to fight, until they are

the right to prevail and desire just
and stable peace such as can be Sc
cured only by removing the chief prov

does remove. We have no jealousy
of German greatness and there is
nothing in this program that impairs
it. We grudge her no achievement
or distinction of learning or of pa

record very bright and very enviable.
We do not wish to injure her or to
block in any way her legitimate influ-

fight her either with arms OF with
hostile arrangements OF trade, If she
is willing to associate herself with US
and the other peace loving nations of
the world in covenants of justice and
law and fair dealing. We wish her
only to accept place of equality

new world in which we now live
instead of a place Of mastery.
