A FRIEND OF THE 11s

In another column on this page
will be found a communication from
Albert /. Reed, who rises to the de-
tense of those 113 conscientious
objectors" at Ft. Leavenworth who
were pardoned by the war depart
ment and paid of in full-possibly
for faithful service" Read Mr..
Reeds letter-it is quite interesting
from his point of view.
Just where Mr.. Reed gets his au-
thority for the statement that those
113 men all gave their money for
reconstruction work we do not know,
nor does Mr.. Reed say. But he in
fers that they earned" the money.
How? BY interfering with our gov
ernment in its war preparations to
save the weak nations that were be-
ing ground into the dust by the
Huns? Did they earn" their two
years. wages by standing idly by and
assuming an "holier than thou" atti
tude while innocent women and chill
dren were being massacred by the
millions and men mutilated? Die
they earn" their money by refusins
to help defend the country that gave
them a home, food and shelter?
It is obvious that Mr.. Reed ant
the Courier editor look upon thos'
113 conscientious objectors in al
entirely different light. And tn,
war department, in pardoning thos,
men and paying them off in cash TO
opposing the government, set a dan
gerous precedent. Should anothe
occasion arise wherein America mus
defend her rights and preserve he
homes so her people can really "wor

he would have little trouble. but his

George took off his dressing-gown
and put on collar and tie, his fingers
shaking so that the tie was not his
usual success; then he picked up his
coat and waistcOat, and left the room
while still in process of DOMINIC them,
fastening the buttons as he ran down
the front stairs to the door. 1t was
not until he reached the middle of the

that he needed no hat for the sort of
