should be scourged from office in dis
grace. If false, right-thinking men and
women will form their own opinion
OF the man who uttered it. Its truth

Postmaster General Burleson so re-
plies to Col. Roosevelt's assertion that
he has punished newspapers which were
loyal, though criticising the conduct OF
the war. while no action has been
taken against newspapers which op-
posed the war or favored Germany
provided the administration was up

Postmaster General Burleson chal-
lenges Col. Roosevelt to name the

MAKES DOLLAR DONATION
AND ADDS SUGGESTION
E. L. McCaslin Recommends Fund for
Purchasing Flowers for q. s. Sol
diers in Foreign Hospitals.

It was only 81 donation to the gov
eminent, but with it E. L. McCaslin,
1928 I'd street, Washington, sent in an
more value. He did not impose condi-
lions upon his little gift. but suggested
it would be desirable to create a fund
to buy flowers for wounded American
soldiers in hospitals on foreign shores.
His subscription, however. goes into
the general Treasury The treasurer Of
the United States. as a government Of
fetal. has mo initiative to create nor
option to divert moneys to a special
purpose. The general fund Of the Treas
ury is the depository Of all receipts, to
be removed therefrom only for the gen.
eral purposes provided for in legislative
appropriation.
Mr.. McCaslin's suggestion reads:
IT am sending you a postal money
order for 81 as a gifs to be added to the
fund already accommodating for the use
of the United States government in the
prosecution of the war. 1t is only a
doilar-all I can afford, but think it
will help.
Though do not wish TO be arbitrary
and request that this solitary dollar be
used for some specific purpose. do you
suppose it could be used aS unit in a
fund to be devoted to buying flowers
for the wounded in hospitals across the
pond? Perhaps II the matter were called
to the attention of sufficient number
Of people q good-sized fund could be
accumulated.
Flowers are by no means necessary
equipment Of war; no one thinks any
thing SO absurd. But what comfort
they do give to a suffering person
lying in bed. listlessly gazing, or rest
lessly rolling! They focus the atten-
ton Of the person on them, taking the
mind off the annoying elements in a
hospital. Oftimes they remind that
some one thinks Of the sufferer in more
than an impersonal way.
If my suggestion is impracticable.
use this money as you see At. If your
Judgment dictates that such a fund
could be built up. use this small sum to
start the ball rolling.
Yours for victory"
He adds that Holland is close to Bel
GUM and great flower producing
country.

French Names

I'd chant an ode to Joffre, with
ardor and delight, but up there
speaks a scoffer: "You don't
pronounce it right; the name
should rhyme with suffer- o poet
short and fat, and you're a dippy
duffer, or you'd be wise to that.
I raise my voice so mellow, not
|peeved, nor in a huff then speaks
another fellow: "The French
pronounce it 'Juff.' I see there's
no use firtin' with such shining
name until I know for certain
how to pronounce the same. And
so l start a sonnet about the
mighty Foch, whose name has
laurels on i'll make it rhyme
with yoke" Then says a posted
neighbor, "Your sonnet is a
botch, and wasted is your labor
the hero's name is Fotch." I fain
would sing of Ypres and also of
Amiens, but will one rhyme with
snipers, and t'other one with
beans? I even balk at Paris, for
fear I get it wrong, and such
breaks so embarrass the man who
trills song. I'd like to sing of
Calais a martial, stirring lay, but
then, so help me Alice, I fear it
is Galaxy. Fair France, I'd like
to bring you a wreath of death
less song! Oh, France, I'd like
to sing you, but get the language
wrong! WALT MASON.

Besides, IL there is a setback in the
