able program consisting of exception
ally fine musical numbers and an in
formal address by the Rev. Paul B.
Jenkins of Milwaukee. DR.. Jenkins,
who spent several months "over
there" as chaplain with Base Hospital
No. %, spoke on the subject, "The
Spirit of the American Soldier" as
fighter, as a victor, as victim, and
lastly as a man, in each subdivision
bringing out such characteristics as
showed the strength and manhood of
our army. He told many Incidents.
illustrative of the life in the distant
countries, on the battlefelds, in the
hospitals, in the trenches, on the
march, each one of which he knew
from personal experience and observa-
ton to be actual facts and absolutely
dependable, and impressed upon his
audience the wide differences in the
lives and practices of the armies of
the contending factions in the world
war. In touching upon the spirit of
America in so Loyalty responding to
the past Liberty Loan drives and re-
ferring to the Fifth drive, to open
next week, he said in part that we
were paying for the blue stars that
stayed blue" in our service flags
paying for the wonderful powers that
had been instrumental in protecting so
large a proportion of our boys and
sending them back home safe. Every
lady present felt she had gained a
new insight into few of the vast
problems which have confronted the
leaders throughout this terrible con-
flict and which still confronts the ex-
ecutives of the nations most deeply
interested in the questions of world
peace. Each one present certainly felt
deeply grateful to DR.. jenkins for his
heard to heart talk which had thrown
a new light or some phases of the
lives of our Boys in conflict of which
we have learned but little heretofore.
The only regret expressed by any one
present was that the audience was so
small in proportion to the number who
would have enjoyed the address.
