SOLDIERS LETTERS


MY lear Mother:
Almost seven months now since the
regiment of Virginia boys boarded
the transport Finland, babe farewell
to the old State and sailed away on
the 18th day of June, 1918, and on
the 9th we landed in France. The
name of the place is St. Nazarie and
when we landed we were some proud
bunch of boys We then went to a
camp and stayed three days, and
then we were loaded on q French
train and road 48 hours and got off
and hiked about eight kilos, which
we call miles, and in the village we
landed in ID. Co. made their home for
about three weeks and then we load
cd on train and left for Alsacc
Lorraine, near where the goth divis-
ion took over sector for about two
months. Lorraine is the garden spot
OF this whole section, and is the
prettiest section have ever seen.
We were then loaded by rail at
Belfort. 1t is one of Frances largest
towns and wo moved up and became
one of the divisions Of the first Amer
lean army on the Verdun and Metz
sector. We were in q little village
near the front and / was taken sick
with the flu and was sent back to a
hospital which was about a hundred
miles behind the lines. 1 stayed at
the hospital 1877 days and then / join
ed the outfit in Verdun. certainly
am glad to belong to the 10th Regi-
ment. We boys played the part. am
well and hope you all are we'll, SO
write me real often.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Sheared OF is verbose and raWhidp and
bloody bones rot we quite agree with Sen
ator Reed in that it would be an imposi-
ton for the league Of nations to grant to
Liberia, Panama and all like distinct naion-
allies, whether their population be black or
white an equal vote with the United States
with a population of from 20 O so times
greater than such governments in the league
of nations parliament. Those black and
tan nations of course would never rule the
league Of nations covenant, though admit
ted on equal footing, but to admit them
on equal footing is but borrowing trouble
which could be obviated by the United
States withdrawing from Europe and per-
mitting this league of nations to fall of
it's own weight. Senator Reeds speech
was simply a resurrected Tilmanic tom
tom and the cOlOred man as usual the
hug bear to frighten the babies into sub
mission. If the league of nations ever
directs the destinies of this world, as it's
advocates hope it will, then the United
States will have to send roops to every
cock fight that is pulled off in Europe,
Asia or Africa, which will prove to be
source Of everlasting annoyance to the
citizenry and in less than decade the
name of Woodrow Wilson will be a hiss
and a by-word from Maine to Mexico,
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
the league of nations will only be known
to damn.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

With no experience as restaurant
keeper, Mrs j. G. Cogswell blundcred into
the business and made much success OF it.
Then she blundered into the grocery busi-
ness and was likewise successful in It,
Now she has broken into the ranching
business and fr>c1 the foundation she has
lain success in it is bound to come her way.
Better to be born lucky than rich.
Let's hope that Mrs. Mann will do as
well on her Eastern Washington farm lands
as she is reported to have done on some
acreage in Alaska near Fairbanks, which
she now has rented out, and i she does
both her self and Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Gregg will soon be rolling in the lap OF
luxury.
When newspapers with no more general
information than has the Chicago Defender
can secure circulation Of one hundred
thousand then it is quite evident that its
readers are moved to do so with either the
hope of seeing their names or their friends
names in print. A people who have no
higher ambition than to reap the flowers
and thereby destroy the prospective fruit
will never rise very high.
However much in love one may be with
the publishing of weekly paper, yet there
come times when it is edited under most
irving circumstances, and that seems to
be our situation on this occasion, but the
wind does no blow one way all the time,
and we live in hopes though we die in dis
pair.

DECORATION DAY

That annual marching along" Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic was held
yesterday and another Decoration Day is
now history. Yes the men, who make up
this army, are not only marching along,
but rapidly marching away never to return,
and each year as we view these feeble blue
coated veterans wend their way to the
graves of their departed comrades we see
the number growing smaller, their former
measured tread shorter and their energies
feebler, and silently we pray, long may
their memories live. Wars in this country
have come and wars have gone but the
veterans of none call forth the pleasing
memories as do the veterans Of the Great
Civil War. No, not much because it
was brother against brother, but because it
was war for human freedom. The Revo-
lutiOnary war was for independence of gov
ernment and the men fought bravely for
the right Of self government, not that they
were slaves Of English lords, but they OBJ
jected to being subject to English rule.
The war over the sore spots began at once
to heal over and the memories thereof soon
forgotten The war of 1912 was for hav-
ing England mind her own business, but
no soon over and it's memories began to
fade The Mexican war was for territory
and that acquired and the war ended the
veterans thereof were soon lost in the pre-
vailing commercial spirit Of the times and
they had little or nothing to say about
having licked Mexico. But the Great Civil
War was for human rights, for the over
throw of oligarchy and the enthroning Of
equal rights, for the freeing of human beings
from inhuman masters and for preventing
one half of this country being free and the
other slave. All of which formed bond
of brotherhood among those who fought for
human rights that will never grow old or
cold so long as there are more than one Of
them left to tell the tale, and those citizens
who were not actually in SERVICE but par
took of all the Christian patriotism of those
who were at the front are as closely bound
to the brotherhood arising from this war
as the participants, and they, like the old
battle-scarred veterans, who are marching
along, cherish the memories which DecOra-
ton Day so wildly reminds them Of just
as tenderly as do the "old soldier" him
SELF Again, we repeat, may the memories
that made it necessary for an Annual
Decoration Day never be beclouded and
may those old veterans for human rights
pass the remainder of their lives in COM
parative ease and comfort. May each re-
curing Decoration Day be an inspiration
to see another and may God help us one
and all to ever scatter flowers along their
passing pathway.

Movie Actress Abhores
Down-at-Heels Shoes
and Worn Gloves

Do you know what Marie Wal
camp thinks is the most essential
part of woman's wardrobe? Shoes
and glovesl In Miss Walcamp's
own words: II can forgive anything
in a woman but her wearing ragged
shoes and gloves. To see a woman
gorgeously gowned and then look
at her feet and find she is wearing
shoes that are sadly worn down at
the heel, or to glance at her hands
and behold a very visible rip in a
glove finger gives me a sudden
shock. There is no excuse for a wo-
man wearing a stunning suit, gown
or coat with shabby shoes and gloves
to complete the outfit. Some wo-
men-some / have known-will buy
a dress, suit, a coat and half doz-
en- blouses all in one morning and
not give a thought to a hole in a
glove or the scuffed tip of a boot
And they are quite likely, also, to
start out in all her fnery without
even thinking an improvement nee
essary in footwear or handwear."
