An American Letter.

AS proof of the kind of spirit which
talented American young men are
putting into the war, one needs only
to read a letter from Lieutenant
Howard v. O'Brien, written from
the front, and addressed to member
of western Vigilance Committee of
the American Defense Society. Read
ing it increases our conviction that
there is stuff in America which can
"hold the line against any advance,
and we print it because we believe
it will increase the patriotism of our
readers Mr.. O'Brien, who has al
ready won some distinction in the
field of letters, says:

has not been impaired to me, but I

and there are months of hard work
ahead of us before we are fit to fight.

such an infinitely greater price than

if come thru, the regard of my

are too many books written anyway.
So it's all to the good either way.
"Hooray, for free speech and anti
war, but while we're over there it's
up to you good fellows to keep the
home fires burning, and the damned
pacifist mouths closed! I'm pacifist
myself, but l don't want the Ger

for your kindness. 1t helps, believe
me, to know that there are people
