Wood HonorS
National Army
DRAFT MEN CALLED CROSS-SEC-
I1ON OF AMERICAN PEOPLE:
BEST UNDER THE SUN.

Major General Leonard Wood. ad-
dressing the Laymen's League Of St
Marks church last week at a BANQUET
at the Milwaukee Athletic Club. spoke
on preparedness, the care of returned
soldiers and the benefits of universal
training.
He declared the national army as
sembled under the draft had been a
cross-section Of the American people
and its men the best the sun ever
looked down on because they were
better than the people as a whole,
Tor all detectives had been eliminat-
ed. He asserted the American soldier
had made reputation for himself be-
.scause his was the courage of reason
and not an emotional courage.
He appealed for a strong love of
country, for a strong family life, and
for strong education in the schools,
especially in the country's history, and
asserted if peace was wanted in the
world it would not ssbe obtained by
the apt and skillful application of YER
bal message"
There is room in this country for
only one flag. as see it, and that
one our own flag, the American flag,
and there is only room in the grade
schools of the country for one Ian
guage, and that the English language
he said, "for the English language
carries the best thought on democracy
and self-government of any in the
world"
Other statements which stood out
In the address were:
There is no room in this country
for man who is American and some
thing else"
Words are not enough words are
no national defense" 9
ut is better to break the peace than
to break the faith Of the Founders"
IF well prepared, you are in posi-
tion to arbitrate, but if you are un-
prepared you are at the mercy of the
individual or nation opposing you. If
we had been prepared, ready to. do our
part, there probably would. have been
no war-and the same is true of Eng
land"
Wars are coming THE man who
tells you differently will be response
bic for thousands OF deaths The fax,
er and the charlatan have told you
wars are over, but the history of the
world tells you otherwise. "a reason
able preparedness on your part will
save many lives in future wars. Ar
bitration is all right or an international
tribunal if you vii. or an internation-
al court and an understanding among
nations, but don't let any of these in
the least take the part of reasonable
preparedness-use them as instru-
ments, but don't neglect prepared
ness"
General Wood closed with plea for
an American standing on its own
feet and governed by its own con-
sciousness, not by the compulsion of
other nations"

Ny dear Parents:-
It gives me great pleasure to be
able to write to you a letter once more
on our own. United States soil, after
being off it for several months.
When I sighted from the transport
Harrisburg the glorious statue of Lib
Ierty" which was staring us in our fac
es and greeting Us to the Land of the
Free and the brave, it brought to me
the historical recollection of the land
ing of Columbus when he first discov-
cred America. Besides the Mayors
Committee of New York came on tug
boat to give us welcome and the band
on the same boat playing Home Sweet
Home and the crowd yelling and rous-
ing cheers to us ALL / just trembled
for while and couldn't help myself
to realize how fortunate | am to be
among the ones returning.
After the transport. got to the pier
at HobOken, we were transferred on
the ferry boat and taken to New York
City. In the mean time, while we were
seated most comfortably on this ferry
boat. the American Red Cross Commit
tee served us biscuits and hot coffee
and soup. When we got off this ferry
boat we were loaded into American
Red Cross Ambulances and taken to
u. S. Debarkation Hospital No. 3,
where am at this present time. When
we got here we were again taken care
of by the American Red Cross Commit
tee and big and tasty ham sandwiches
with hot coffee served to as while we
were waiting to go through the delous-
ing process, which experienced as
good one. After taking our shower
bathes which all of us enjoyed so much
after our long sea journey, TN fact
it was the best shower bath ever got
since entered the service of the u. S.
Army, oil of our clothes were put
through sterilizing process and after
the bath we were given clean pajamas
and are to wear them until we get our
O. D. clothes back again. It is won
derful system they have here in this
hospital
We are surely located here in an ele-
CANT building and a large one six
stories high We get very good treat
ment here, good eats and plenty of it.
Surely quite change from what I
have been used to having while in
France. We are allowed great many
privileges here. We get daily pass
to go out from 10 A. M. to 5 P. M.
and a night pass from P. M. to II 80
P. NJ.
SO, folks, don't worry; I am well
taken care of here The nurses are
pretty good tempered and the Red.
Cross tends to our wants every day in
ease we need anything in line of things
they have. My praise for the Ameri-
can Red Cross is beyond expression I
cannot say enough for the organiza-
ton.
/ don't know just how long | will be
here but / think only few days. Don't
know as yet where they will send me
from here. expect it will be to some
camp near home, where / will receive
my final medical examination and fur
ther medical treatment if necessary
and nv discharge.
| will close for this time Hoping to
see you all in the near future, / re-
main, Yours,
